Cindy Sheehan is in the Encyclopedia of American Loons...

[Archae]

Mostly because of her "9-11 Truther" statements.

It's too bad, she had some real promise opposing Smirky and his goons.

#1134: Cindy Sheehan

There may be plenty of good things to say about Cindy Sheehan. As an antiwar activist (her son was killed by enemy action during the Iraq War) she has attracted national and international attention, especially for her 2005 extended antiwar protest at a makeshift camp outside Bush’s Texas ranch, and she has been a passionate critic of American foreign policy – actions and stances that have drawn the support of plenty of people we admire.

However, critical thinking is clearly not her strong suit. In 2007 Sheehan began expressing sympathy for the truther movement, and in 2010 she came out as a confirmed truther: “I think it [9-11] was an inside job, I just don’t know how far inside it went. […] Was it CIA? Was it whoever? Whoever, um, it had to be an inside job. There’s like no way they could have done that, just like the one on December 25th. There’s no way that guy could have done it without some kind of help, and we know he got help. Who was (crosstalk) that nice-dressed man that got him through that these people witnessed, got him through security?” Subsequently, she has appeared at several truther events with people like Dylan Avery, Jon Gold, Richard Gage and others, thereby amply undermining any efforts for good she may previously have been involved in – and indeed: The result of her rebranding has precisely been not to draw people to the truther cause, but instead to make people distance themselves from her previous causes.

1. Last I remember from her was when she thought Pelosi was bugging her hotel room...nt

28. Do you know any good sites about Canadian politics?

I feel the need to join one and push the Overton window leftward to compensate.

[NightWatcher]

2. She's a mom who lost her so to a stupid, illegal war. Why are you bringing her name up?

Just leave her alone. I haven't even seen her on tv or heard her making a stink lately (to be fair, I don't eat, drink, and live politics/news anymore. I just cant take the negativity and have other things to do).

Let her mourn in her own way and get on with her life.

[Archae]

4. Two reasons...

1. She was just added to the Encyclopedia.

2. She gives a measure of credibility to people who have none. (The Truthers)

[H2O Man]

10. Well said.

I agree completely. And I have no respect for anyone who takes cheap shots at her. It says far more about the quality of person that they are, than Cindy.

[Ichingcarpenter]

29. well said

I have no respect for anyone who takes cheap shots at her.

[ieoeja]

21. She is currently running for Governor of California. As long as she is wearing a bullseye in public

... she is fair game for anyone to attack her. Doubly so on DemocraticUnderground.com while running against the Democratic candidate as the candidate of another party.

[RobertEarl]

3. How dare she question bush!!

Remember the NYT headline? BUSH KNEW

Well, bush either didn't or he did. I guess whatever cheney told him, that's what he knew.

And what we know can fill books and books with questions. So the rest of us should just sit back, relax and leave the bush story unquestioned. How dare anyone question bush!!

[Archae]

5. If she only was questioning Bush, that would be one thing.

But when she says this:

“I think it was an inside job..."

That puts her squarely in the ranks of Alex Jones, who she supports.

From the article:

"And downwards it spirals. In the 2012 presidential election Sheehan ran as the vice-presidential candidate for Roseanne Barr’s Peace and Freedom Party. The same year she traveled to the Bohemian Grove to protest against their annual meeting together with Mark Dice and Alex Jones, who thinks the meetings are Satanic rituals. She has recently lent her voice to anti-GMO protests as well, but fortunately few seem to care anymore."

[RobertEarl]

8. Exactly: No questions!!

we know that bush knew that cheney knew what only a few knew and since we don't know what bush knew, then no one should question what you know because you think you know what bush knew and the fact is bush knew?

How dare she use free speech!! Who the hell does she think she is, questioning what bush knew? Certainly you don't question bush. Or do you?

[snooper2]

13. congrats on being the first twoofer to the thread Rob!

You know, the bastards have been using mind altering chemicals in the chem trails. Maybe that is why the population is so "sheepish"

[SidDithers]

6. NYT, New York Post...

it's one of those New York papers, right?

Details, like the actual paper where the headline occurred, aren't really that important.

Sid

[NuclearDem]

22. Well that didn't take very long at all.

[cpwm17]

7. In the big scheme of things

her efforts against the far worse loons and infinitely more dangerous war mongers far outweigh her incorrect position concerning 9-11.

Typical CT'ers and authoritarians are two sides of the same coin, but the major difference is that the authoritarians support the powerful and war, and the powerful have the ability to cause so much evil in this world.

That whole axis of evil nonsense from the war mongers is CT. Attacking random Muslim countries when a group of criminals attacked us is CT, because somehow they are all guilty, is CT:

Thomas Friedman tells millions of people to 'suck on this':

Thomas Friedman writes popular books and works for the NY Times, and is paid to be educated.

[SamKnause]

11. If Thomas Friedman is not ashamed of this interview,

he certainly should be.

We had no right to invade and occupy Iraq.

Madeleine Albright also thought the deaths of 500,000 children, due to sanctions under Clinton, was worth it.

[cpwm17]

14. Yes, the lives of those scheming Arabs don't mean shit to the worst loons

[SamKnause]

9. You can add my

name to the Encyclopedia of American Loons.

I do not believe the official story of what happened on 9-11.

[L0oniX]

12. Mothers of sons who are thinking of joining the military ...take note!

[G_j]

26. What kind of human being would create a book like that to mock a grieving mother?

mean spirited and arrogant, it would seem.

[PowerToThePeople]

16. The true loons are those who accept the Bush/Cheney story of 9/11. n/t

[conservaphobe]

17. A lot of loons got put on oversized pedestals for simply opposing Bush.

The problem is that people kept listening to them once Bush left office.

[Capt. Obvious]

19. But how does she feel about vaccinations?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

20. The "official story" of 9/11 is bullshit. Put me in the loony bin. nt

[frylock]

23. you don't have to believe in holograms and nukes to know the Official Tale of 9/11 is bullshit

[U4ikLefty]

24. She's an poopie-head Osteopath who is the Nazi leader on my HOA

and she wants to label GMO foods.

[Capt. Obvious]

25. heh

[mwrguy]

30. Loon because she believes MIHOP instead of LIHOP?
