If Cindy Sheehan had spoke at 2004 convention you think media would freak out?

I think they would freak out but I think Cindy was speaking the truth unlike the Benghazi mom but I feel sorry for her

They never respected her. tallahasseedem Jul 2016 #2

Kerry wouldn't have found her to be a good fit, I don't think. And he'd have been right. MADem Jul 2016 #3

The difference between John Kerry and Cindy's son is that Kerry made it home alive.

They both were volunteers, though Kerry served in the draft era. No one conscripted them.

It wouldn't have been a rallying moment for that candidate or that convention.
