#2 Cindy: Now that this war is Obama's, you'll be lucky if this makes it into the Martha's Vineyard Auction Monthly.

#3 It would crack me up if she passed out, then woke up in a North Korean reeducation camp.

#5 As much as I hater her - and I do, I do - you have to admit that she's consistent. The fact that the Donks dumped the whole anti-war movement thing the moment they came to power actually seems to have surprised her.

#6 Today's Lesson: Not everyone who gets 'mugged by reality' wakes up and learns today's lesson.

#7 She does NOT look sorrowful.

She looks like she just got a face full of pepper spray,

GOOD.

#9 You know what, Im a christian, and soo IMHO the charitable attitude towards her starry eyed optimism is the best. She lost a son, and shes been remarkably persistent in being a pain in the arse. If she could have her roots touched up, a manicure, Im confident we could have her republican by the next presidential election!

#10 Nice thought GirlTuesday, but what you are talking about is a rather superficial Republican makeover, when in reality ole Cindy is batshit crazy to the bone -- and thus genetically predisposed to be a Dem.

#11 /"kill em with kindness" bring em closer to doubting their affiliations, then get switch hit against Obama in the next election.

BHO has consistently said that the war in Afghanistan was the "war of necessity". As for Hillary and Biden, I dont need to tell you what issues Cindy had with them, or they with her.

If its Pelosi who is inconsistent, well you will need to ask her.

#15 OK, LH - point well taken. But as former resident of San Francisco and Berkeley I can attest to the fact that the anti-war movement ramps up when Republicans are in power, and goes silent when Democracts are running the show. That's the evidence of my own eyes.

#16 So true, Libs only bitch anti war when a repub is in office, but now they're behaving like good boys and girls.
musical chairs: the music just stopped, everyone has a seat except Cindy... Who is still standing up and complaining to anyone in ear shot. Which is why I could manipulate her to become a republican. Evil maniacal laughter.

#17 "the anti-war movement ramps up when Republicans are in power, and goes silent when Democracts are running the show"

Not really

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson

So you mean lately. What examples are there lately? The far left opposed the interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo, but didnt really take it to the streets? Because they loved Clinton? Or cause they knew that holding a demo against a war with zero US casualties would mean such low attendance as to be a huge embarrasment?

That leaves Obama basically. Obviously the far left is trying to get a better handle on what will work politically for them - and its pretty clear, that despite some liberal disappointment with Obama, to stage massive protests against him on the war would lose them sympathy from the kinds of folks they want to recruit.

Which leaves the loons, like Cindy. Who IS protesting in the Vineyard, as this article shows.

#18 really? Seen Code Pink lately? What about resos to remove military funding from the Donk caucus? I'll be civil and just assume you're being naive

#19 Anti-war protesters, oooh, scary, they can stick a military theater up theirs. And suffer knowing the foreplay and lube provided by Obama has worn off.
