Mother Sheehan Takes On Pro-War Hillary
2005-09-19
Cindy Sheehan, the mother of an American soldier killed in Iraq, last night brought her campaign to end the war to New York, where she accused Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of not doing enough to challenge the Bush administration's Iraq policies.

Speaking in front of more than 500 supporters in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Ms. Sheehan, speaking of Senator Clinton, said, "She knows that the war is a lie but she is waiting for the right time to say it." Then, as the crowd cheered, she issued a challenge to Senator Clinton, saying, "You say it or you are losing your job."

A spokesman for Senator Clinton, while not commenting about Ms. Sheehan's remarks, said that the senator, while voting to give President Bush the authority to go to war, has been very critical of the way he has chosen to use that authority.

#19  No worries, Billary is covered.

Hillary is pro-war but against the way it is being conducted (she, a war veteran (ahem))

Bill felt we shouldn't have gone to war, "we failed to give the inspectors a chance."

Combined, the Billary machine has their bases covered.

#17  "Cindy better not drive her bus in the DC parks, if ya know what I mean."

;)

well you guys have ALREADY convinced me Ms. Sheehan is "troubled".

By the way, the park in question was actually in Virginia, NOT DC.

#16  the activists are good at raising money, and going around getting people to the polls. As are GOP activists. The Clintons have always been good at raising money however, and Hilary can count on the moonbats to go apeshit if shes nominated, which tends to get the Dem base to the polls without her having to give ANYTHING, policy wise, to the nutbags (nutbags being lefty, while moonbats are righty - dont ask me why)

#15  If Hillary disses Sheehan she loses a lot of the activists. These activists are good at getting votes out of cemetaries, illegal aliens, mulitiple voters and convicts. About 1% of its base vote is made of these demographics. Also, the activists are good at getting themselves to the polls which makes another 1-3% of the base democratic vote.

#13  considering the current state of the Democratic Party, Hillary may need to be concerned that Sheethead will take her on in the Primary.

#12  Hillary will ignore it. She's much too interested in garnering a "moderate" base, than to waste her time and social capital on Sheehan, who can easily be marginalized. In fact, Hillary can USE Sheehan to make herself look more "moderate," while at the same time furthering her own leftist objectives. Example: " . . . said that the senator (Hillary), while voting to give President Bush the authority to go to war, has been very critical of the way he has chosen to use that authority."

#8  So will Hillary cave or unsheath her claws?

Neither, she'll get someone else to attack the moonbat while she postures in the background as a "Nice Lady"

"Lookit ME, See,See, I'm real Presidential material to suffer this twit in silence, see, See, Lookit me, How Noble I Am" (Etc, ad nauseum)

#5  When somebody accuses Hillary of not being left-wing enough, you KNOW they've gone off the tracks.

Say good night, Cindy.
