One of the most interesting aspects of the counter Cindy rallies in Crawford, is that their spokeswoman, is a member of Marine Mom’s, whose son has served 2 tours of duty in Iraq.
He is also alive.
After checking the backgrounds of several of the counter-protesters it was found that they either had no children in the military, or theirs are still alive and stateside.
I am aware that Ben & Jerry’s founder, Ben Cohen is behind the media machine supporting Cindy Sheehan. And, a great amount of slickness is being used in the message.
But, I also know, that the people that Cindy comforts, or who surround her have lost children, as she has.
Leave it to the Neo-Cons to attempt the same show……..with actors.

Odd, just had this discussion yesterday with a friend. He started spouting the “liberal groups like Move On are using her” line and I shot back with, “So when people protest abortion there aren’t backers there from Pro-Life organizations that one could claim are ‘using them?’” He backed up so fast he must have hit at least 40 rhetorical vehicles he left behind him.
