Cindy Sheehan hates the Blue Angels

You have to laugh at the moonbats now, more than ever. They hitched their wagon to this mare, and she’s got a bum leg! However, they’ve invested too much political capital in this nutjob that they have to ride her until she drops. Hat tip to a few sources, especially Moonbattery.

Now, the media whore grieving mother has a new agenda: stopping the Blue Angels from performing. No doubt she will work tirelessly in this endeavor for her dear Casey, who (I’m sure she’ll tell us when she channels his spirit again, John Edwards style) was mortified by their repugnant existence. I mean, surely Casey would want the Blue Angels to be grounded until this capitalistic, imperialistic, Bushitlerburton war ends!

Oh, yeah…the story:

The woman leading protests against President Bush’s conduct of the Iraq war will protest a Blue Angels air show in Brunswick, Maine, next month.

Bruce Gagnon (GAHNG’-yuhn) of Maine Veterans for Peace says Cindy Sheehan will be the featured guest at a protest outside the Brunswick Naval Air Station on September tenth.

Who are the Maine Veterans for Peace, and why the hostility to the Blue Angels? From their own words:

to protest the false god idolatry of the Blue Angels Air Show, whose “ooh-&-aah”performances have one purpose: to promote badly-lagging military recruitment (sic) to protest the obscene waste of American tax dollars to stage these Blue Angels’ multi-million dollar extravaganzas

Any money that the left can’t give to winos or welfare moms is wasted, I suppose.

In addition to Mother Moonbat, this “veterans” group will also have a guest speaker named Kathy Kelly. Click the link to her name to see some of the anti-American drivel she’s spewed over the years. One anti-US and pro-UN pearl of wisdom: “The UN’s relationship to the US is that of a battered woman to an abusive partner.”

I don’t know how to break it to these “beacons of brilliance”, but Americans adore the Blue Angels, so their moonbat message is likely not to be received well (nor covered by the national MSM much, either)! They might as well tell all kindergarten students that Santa isn’t real, while they’re at it.

Defending Sheehan at this point is like defending the alcoholic aunt in your family by telling people that she’s not AS DRUNK as she usually is!

Didn’t take long for the MSM to run with their kooks

You’d think that a catastrophe like Katrina’s damage would bring everyone together to help. You’d be wrong. Libs just want to bitch and bellyache. Remember how everyone came together when Sumatra was rocked by tsunamis? I guess liberals are all for coming together to help another (non-evil, non-imperialist) country, but once damage like that hits America…well, screw those rednecks! Besides, Louisiana and Mississippi are red states anyway, right? Probably serves them right, huh moonbats?

Yesterday I documented how the moonbats were already pegging Hurricane Katrina on Bush. Part of the liberal blogs’ talking points went like this: “Too many Louisiana National Guardsmen are in Iraq, and as a result, Louisiana is ill-prepared and underequipped with the necessary emergency personnel.” Problem is, that’s not true:

“Only about half of available forces are mobilized in Louisiana and forces are available from neighboring states if needed,” said Lt. Col. Mike Milord, a spokesman at National Guard headquarters outside Washington.

Some 3,500 Army National Guardsmen from Louisiana were deployed to help hurricane victims and another 3,000 were on standby.

Oops.

Anyway, last night the MSM picked up the leftist blogosphere ravings and ran with it:

LARRY KING: Do you have adequate National Guard members? Because I know you have a lot of National Guard forces in Iraq.

PAULA ZAHN: With so many National Guard troops involved in Iraq, thousands of civilian volunteers are now stepping up to the plate.

WENDELL GOLER: Critics have warned the National Guard deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan have left states with too few troops to respond to emergencies.

LESTER HOLT: Interesting to note that of the 11,000 National Guard members in Louisiana, about 3,000 are currently deployed in Iraq.

Interesting, isn’t it? When the blogosphere exposed “See? B.S.” lies and forgeries last year, the MSM had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the story. Now, the nutbar blogs run with some talking points, and the MSM is all over it like Janet Reno on a Waco church. Also, as V th K notes at Moonbattery, the press and the left (again, pardon the redundancy) is now convinced that the National Guard is anything other than the “club for shiftless playboys” that they were portrayed as merely one year ago.

Nope…no liberal media bias.

The "Iraq never had WMD" lie

These three sites should refute that nonsense. Too bad the administration has done a pisspoor job of explaining this to the masses.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/8/28/110744.shtml
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=14295

If you read ONLY one of these (please read all three…they’re not long), read the first one. As Neal Boortz explains: “Here you will read that the United Nations was having a bit of a fit because the United States secretly shipped 4000 pounds of low-enriched uranium and about 1,000 highly radioactive items from Iraq to the US a month earlier. The transfer of this material was made to keep it out of the hands of terrorists.”

Uranium? You mean the one that the MSM keeps telling us Bush lied about Iraq trying to obtain in his state of the union speech?

Nope…no liberal media bias.

"It’s not about me!"

Mother Moonbat Sheehan, quoted on Brit Hume’s show on Fox News:

“Years from now, when your children read about Camp Casey in the history books, you can say you met Casey’s mom!”

Wow…looks like someone has a Messiah complex and other delusions of grandeur, hmm? Then again, with the leftist army and adulating press (pardon the redundancy) at Crawford, there’s little wonder from where such self-adoration derived.

But remember, folks…this isn’t about her! Nosireebob…It’s about Casey!

Dems’ "Virtual Victory" tour

The following is satire, but it’s so fake that you’d swear it came from the MSM (Mainstream Media):

Encouraged by their close loss in this week’s special election for a vacant House seat in Ohio, the Democrat National Committee (DNC) has mapped a 50-state “virtual victory” strategy for 2006 and 2008.

“It feels so good to almost win,” said DNC chairman Howard Dean. “We now believe we can rally our base around the hope of down-to-the-wire losses in traditionally Republican districts coast-to-coast.”

While the concept of virtual victory is familiar to the party that nearly won the presidency in 2000 and 2004, this is the first time the DNC will stake millions of dollars on advertising explicitly promoting narrow defeats. The ad campaign is tentatively titled “Close Counts.”

“People need something to believe in,” said Mr. Dean. “And while it’s tough to believe that a party with no coherent platform can return to power, most progressives still believe this is the party of the little guy. Of course, the little guy usually loses, but we want our major donors to be able to say, in the words of Maxwell Smart, ‘missed it by that much.’”

I noticed in last year’s presidential election, Kerry adopted the same strategy Gore adopted in 2000 (screw the South, lobby the Midwest)…with the same results. Isn’t the definition of insanity “Doing the same things over and over, but expecting different results”?
