It Must Be A Slow News Month
It must be a slow news month for the story of Cindy Sheehan to attract so much MSM coverage . Of course they have an agenda in doing so. They can kill two birds with one stone. They can pro-long a story complete with anti-Bush, anti-administration, and anti-war rhetoric, while at the same time give touchy-feely emotionalism to a grieving mother.
We were not even going to mention this story, because we believe Cindy Sheehan to have become disingenuous about her son’s death in Iraq. She has become a poster child for the left, and she likes it.
Erick over at Red State sums up our view of this story just about right in his piece, Cindy Sheehan Enters Stage Right. Here is his opening paragraph:
“Cindy Sheehan’s son was killed in Iraq. She’s a grieving mother. Last year, the President met with Mrs. Sheehan, comforted her, and grieved with her. At the time, Mrs. Sheehan thought the President had done well and appreciated him. Enter August, no major news, and a media still smarting over the President’s re-election despite everything they threw at him. Cindy Sheehan returns entering stage right — this time a left wing media whore in the form of a grieving mother.”
We couldn’t have said it better. Read the whole article.
By his actions, Casey Sheehan’s death has spoken volumes more than his Mother will ever say. His dying for the cause of freedom and in the service of his coutry will have an impact long after his Mother’s 15 minutes of fame are forgotten.
