The RW attacks Sheehan: A Mother Insults Her Fallen Son
<<SNIP>>
http://www.mensnewsdaily.com/archive/m-n/newman/2005/newman080805.htm

A Mother Insults Her Fallen Son

Cindy Sheehan does not believe those filthy ragheads and camel jockeys in Iraq deserve freedom. Nor does she believe they should be allowed to live in peace or be able to sleep at night without wondering if their genocidal dictator’s bloodthirsty henchmen are going to kick their door in and drag the entire family off to a grisly torture chamber, where the parents will be made to watch their children be repeatedly raped and sodomized and finally blinded and dismembered while still alive.

Her son adamantly disagreed with her. U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, in fact, disagreed with his mother so vehemently that he was willing to give his life so that brown-skinned Muslims he didn’t even know could be free.

Now Mrs. Sheehan claims George Bush, not terrorists, killed her son. She didn’t protest when the maniacs of 9-11 killed nearly 3,000 people. She doesn’t fault the mass murderers who continue to butcher innocent Iraqi men, women and children and who continue to kill courageous American military personnel. She didn’t fly to London to protest outside of a mosque. She is in no way shocked by the hundreds of mass graves being excavated in Iraq, graves filled with tens of thousands of bodies of Saddam’s victims. She is not troubled at all by the numerous al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq who want to kill every American man, woman and child on earth. And she could not care less that proud Iraqis, facing death, voted for the first time in throngs for the politician of their choice, defiantly holding up ink-stained fingers to show they had faced down the terrorists. To Cindy Sheehan, it would appear, Arabs, especially Muslim Arabs, should have no right to vote or even live for that matter.

Cindy Sheehan’s son volunteered for military service and knew he would probably go to war. He accepted the risks and dangers and was okay with them. He died doing his part to prevent the Muslim terrorists from killing more and more innocent civilians around the world, in places like the Philippines, Italy, Thailand, France, India, Russia, Lebanon, Netherlands, England, Israel, Spain and the United States. Mrs. Sheehan, if her actions and words are any indication, apparently thinks her son was an idiot because of his beliefs.

19. They deserve peace?
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 12:16 AM by Gman
First they insult Iraqis, then they lay a guilt trip on Sheehan that she doesn't think the people they insulted deserve freedom. How fucked up is that? If they're going to insult the Iraqis like that, does the RW even think Iraqis "deserve freedom" in the first place? Why would Iraqis "deserve freedom" if they're filthy ragheads and camel jockeys? Why then would Sheehan be insulting anybody?

That's as far as I got reading the article, and that's as far as I want to go.

------------

on edit... typed in "Iraqis" where I first wrote "Iranians". I was so pissed I lost track of who he was talking about.

The Dark ages represent long phases of economic slowdowns, social and political breakdowns, deurbanization, increased/reduced migration, and population losses in world history.
dark age definiton- An era of ignorance, superstition, or social chaos or repression.
Sounds like life in George W's Jesusland to me if we consider the population losses in Somalia, Sudan, Iraq etc.
:WTF:

40. Unfortunately this seems to be the mindset of many Americans
As much as I believe gays are the new pariahs, I believe Muslims are just as outcasted as gays are. Truly, it disgusts me.

There was one exchange I had once with a guy about his disdain towards Muslims and Islam (that's putting it mildly). I told him he was no better than a racist.

47. I think the author's intent was to put those slurs in Ms. Sheehan's mouth.
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 07:33 AM by Crankie Avalon
Because she is against this war which is supposed to be about "freedom for Iraqis," she must be against freedom for the Iraqis, therefore she must think they are not good enough for freedom, and therefore she must think of them as "filthy ragheads and camel jockeys."

Of course, our government's motives in this war have precious little to do with "freedom" or anything good for the Iraqi people, but if that were the only faulty thing in this article it wouldn't be nearly as shameful and disgusting as it is.

This is another example of the rightwing putting words into people's mouths. They do it to the dead like the victims of 9/11, Nick Berg, and Ms. Sheehan's son in order to appropriate them and their legacies for the furtherance of rightwing politics, and they do it to the loved ones of 9/11 victims, Nick Berg's father, and Ms. Sheehan herself because they need to destroy those who get in the way of the rightwing's grave robbing and exploitation of those who can no longer speak for themselves.

And who gets in the way of the rightwing ghouls more than the actual loved ones of the dead, who knew them and what they were about and can therefore "speak for them" the best (or at least more than some sleazy rightwing grave robber who never knew or even met the dead person)?

55. Before ** decided to morph Saddam and Osama as a way
to justify attacking Iraq, did these freepers/CONservatives/repukes give a shit about Iraqis' freedoms? I think not and now they are using Iraqis' "freedom" as justification to further slam liberals and those who oppose this destruction of the Iraqi people.

Why isn't the writer in Iraq fighting to save the kids from sodomy? Because he's a lying propagandist for this adminsitraion.

I hope he has the opportunity to lose a son or daughter in this war. Let him convince himself it was worth it.

82. So? How does that change anything?
That still is a disgusting piece of opinion. And I wonder how he can speak so authoritatively about what Casey and Cindy's relationship was?

I glad he made it back in one piece. I guess he's another brainwashed winger who thinks we haven't suffered enough casualties yet. Let's check back with Bob when we have lost 50,000 Americans and see if he still has the same zest to defend this administration.

Edited on Tue Aug-09-05 01:44 PM by Kurovski
as they look down from heaven. Is that supposed to be a joke?

He shows the same amount of respect and cognizance of Sheehan's loss as George bush did during his meeting with Sheehan in the White House. Which was even worse than none at all.

A distinct lack of respect, decency and maturity.

He's a bad writer, a propagandist, a media whore and a big-time douche-bag for liberty.

Creepy and sick.

20. That torture chamber he mentions in the first paragraph -
Does he mean the one in Abu Ghraib before or after we occupied Iraq? With the raping and sodomizing of children seen and heard in those videotapes the admin. is trying to block, I'm a bit confused as to which torture chamber he's writing about.

:eyes:

He lives in an alternate reality and there's not nearly enough oxygen to sustain his brain cells - all two of them - there.

26. I just sent this asshole the following email
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 12:21 AM by Gman
from another email account, paraphrasing my post above:

First you insult Iraqis, then you lay a guilt trip on
Sheehan that she doesn't think the people you insulted
deserve freedom. How messed up is that? If you're
going to insult the Iraqis like that, do you even
think they "deserve freedom" in the first place? Why
would Iraqis "deserve freedom" if they're filthy
ragheads and camel jockeys? Why then would Sheehan be
insulting anybody? Does this make any sense to you at
all? I didn't think so.

That's as far as I got reading the article, and that's
as far as I want to go.

You, sir, are one fucked up individual.

Gary in Texas

p.s. Before you start with the, "oh, he won't even use
his real email address" crap, I know better than to
give a real nutjob about-to-go-off-the-deep-end right
winger like you my email address. There's no telling
what you people are capable of. You're a dangerous
mother fucker.

32. Wow! Not only is their racism
bubbling to the surface but I recall that the Iraqi people were 'our friends who wanted us to liberate them'. In the beginning of the war, Iraqis were painted as sympathetic victims of Saddam Hussein and were exempt from the despicable 'raghead' and 'camel jockey' rhetoric!!

How quickly they change ~

Their attacks on the troops, last week it was Iraq veteran, Major Hackett, and their mothers, shows their desperation ~

They were wrong, they were fooled and they fell for the lies and now they are faced with the ugly reality of what they supported.


They were told, like Cindy's son Casey, that the Iraqi people would greet the troops with flowers and George Bush would be an Iraqi hero!

Instead of being angry at the liars, they direct their anger at a grieving mother. How despicable they are.


Unable themselves, to grapple with the disappointment of not winning, yet they expect a grieving mother to handle the loss of her son for a pack of lies and remain silent?

All I can say to them is 'WE TOLD YOU SO!'

you KNOW that if she did make stuff up, they'd have already issued the talking points

48. Yeah right.
"A Mother Insults Her Fallen Son"
yeah right. And what would be the motivation for that?

"...apparently thinks her son was an idiot..." yeah right.

--But what do you expect from something called "Men's News Daily?"
(news for men only...) All you have to do is paint Cindy as a crazy woman "insulting" men, and therefore she needs no other motivation to do what she is doing.

Making it All about men vs women...more 'poor little me' narcissism
:yawn:

49. Sign this loudmouth up for a tour in Iraq
I'm guessing there aren't enough depends on the planet to help him make it through one night in Casey's shoes.

Bet he also lacks enough of a heart to understand a single tear Cindy has cried.



See tagline for details. :grr:

51. These people are freaks!
But sadly, they are EVERYWHERE!!!

I heard one on the radio the other morning say that the "Liberal Media" won't ambulance chace the Shuttle if it comes down OK. Said that they were waiting for it to blow up!

I can't believe the numbers of people in this country that thinks this way!!!

57. Completely compassionless psychos... bet this sick sick shit has also used
the flypaper theory in their arguments as well.

Hypocritical power drunk brown shirts.

They want put words in Cindys mouth that is complete bullshit and lies we should do the same. Seriously they are getting dangerously close to asking for some character assiassnations.

Maybe some of those Liberal millionares should drop a few cool million on investigation and spying (within legal limits of course) on those that do as these sociopaths have. Im sure there has to be plenty of drug use, sex, maybe murder and robbery and all kinds of fun stuff on the so called moral majority leaders.

Ig not maybe they can be set up in a Rovian matter... I mean after all thats just politics.

69. Couldn't agree more. My note to Drudge:
You neocons attacked Max Cleland and John Kerry (who were true heroes)in order to make President Chickenhawk look good. Why not try to smear a grieving mother as well?

Well, this joke's going to be on you.

Your latest transparent smear will backfire on you.

59. this is learned behavior, this is learned hatred. we must remember that-
if this "country" is worth fighting for, the prevailing mentality sure isn't. Assholes like this are the ones who make me wish Amurka would just collapse on itself. And ALL the pundits and ALL the hacks who own ALL the industries and bought MOST of the senators and decision makers long ago would just choke in an instant on their own bullshit. Because then, and only then could we get back to what really matters in this whole thing..

Comforting Cindy Sheehan. Putting my arm around her shoulder like a human being and nothing else, and doing what I could for her loss. Do they realize what this is really about? WTF I mean I'm sorry you young republicans out there never got to be children but really WTF you could at least be fucking human. Oop, yea, yea here it comes - :puke:

62. I wonder if this "one of the largest police departments"
...is Denver's. See, they were caught red handed with spying on various dangerous, seditios groups that the GOP finds troublesome to their propaganda. This dirtbag may have led them in this direction.

"...and that files existed on 3,200 individuals and 208 organizations, from the Million Mom March to the "criminal extremist" American Friends Service Committee, the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center and NARAL."

http://www.thenation.com/docprint.mhtml?i=20030127&s=pollitt

His callers call him "Gunny". He wears his service on his sleeve, and as a trump card when he's caught in a lie, which is often. He defines everything by his military experience, and thus in his mind, he's smarter than the rest of us. He seems to have reconciled the fact that he worships a chickenhawk AWOLer who snickers when someone gets killed, and embraced him as a diety. He used to have a moderate co-host on drive time, but that guy is gone now. The other guy questioned Bush too much.

66. Like Miss Cleo
Looks like Bob is good at predicting after the fact. That increases his accuracy rating immensely. Or maybe, he's got those special connections that Gannon did.

He's a fucking joke but I'm sure he gets paid well.


Bob is well known for his uncanny ability to precisely predict the nature and location (by country) of terrorist attacks months in advance, as well as anti-terrorist operations carried out by the U.S. Department of Defense and/or Central Intelligence Agency, and events relating to standard DoD operations, such as Operation Iraqi Freedom.

76. His GPS's are hilarious..
I remember one right before the Iraqi Invasion where he said "those people are all just scum(I think that was the word he used) anyway" He's an ex-Marine from the "Kill Em' All" school. His pathetic rantings should be ignored, he's just trying to boost his ratings. He does work for Clear Channel after all.

65. It's getting ugly, and only going to get uglier. The DNC needs to
step in.

Think about this, if this was a rightie out there, and we were bashing her, Mehlman would be on it like a fly on shit. Limpo, Oreilly, all of the big mouths would be there.

IT'S OUR TURN TO DEFEND OUR OWN
and not let them get away with trashing a woman whose son died for
Bush's lies!!!

The left media, the DNC all need to be at Cindy's defense.

This is a test for our party.
This is a loyalty test.
They were absent on Hackett. Are they going to be absent on this as well? Is everything from now on going to be left up to the grassroots??
If so - then we might as well start a new party!

Couldn't they issue a statement, a little press release, something???

It looks like they are hiding in the bushes. Or are they confused and don't know which way the wind is blowing?

Don't they know millions of us are backing Cindy? jeepers.

74. They serve so that we don't have to. They offer to give up
their lives so that we can be free. It is, remarkably, their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again?

LOS ANGELES, CA. - Mike LaSalle, former Men's Rights advocate and show business impresario was found unconscious from a whipping and lying in an alley outside a well known Los Angeles night club late yesterday. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where his condition was listed as unfair, lost and delirious.

LaSalle had recently made a name for himself as a self-proclaimed leader of the growing Men's Rights Movement where he had tried to establish for himself a reputation as an honest and staunch defender of the dignity and rights of men in their fight against feminist fascism.

However, many men had noted that recently Mike LaSalle was struggling to find his true identity in the high stakes battle for the hearts and minds of the western world's enslaved men. First, he openly plugged a female jazz singer on his now defunct website, Men News Daily, and then anointed a woman to moderate a message board forum that was linked to his site. The relationship that LaSalle had with the singer is surrounded in mystery. Equally mysterious is the identity of the moderator known as Navy Blue.

She precipitated a mass exodus of male readers from Men News Daily when she decried the inappropriate language that some men were using to describe women. Allegedly she complained to LaSalle that she was uncomfortable and could not find the sense of empowered closure that her special needs as a woman demanded. She reportedly was feeling sad and depresssed. A N.O.W. spokeswoman, Harriet Ingry, confirmed these reports and added "No woman in America should have these feelings. Next thing you know, we'll be back in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, doing whatever it is that women used to do in the kitchen.... whatever a kitchen is."

LaSalle apparently tried to appease the woman or women but men know the slippery slope that this presents. He continued to fall short of the expectations that women had for him. His failure to measure up was even described by some feminists as a form of violence against women. Harriet Ingry explained,"If you don't make a woman happy then she is sad. If she is sad then you have hurt her. If you hurt her then you are violent. Got it? Deal with it."

Police have not confirmed the type of weapon used to inflict the severe injuries on LaSalle. They would only say that the deep lacerations bear the unmistakable imprinted outlines of female genitalia. When pressed to define which part of that complex structure was used, a police spokeswoman tersely said, "The vagina". Ray Peterson, the Pulitzer prize winning author who started as a freelance writer with Mens News Daily, jumped up from his seat and and said in a loud and clear voice, "In other words, he was pussy whipped!". The spokeswoman ignored him, then laughed a little, and asked if there were any appropriate questions.

78. A mother loses her son
And Newman attacks her? I just cannot imagine how such an article must make Cindy Sheehan feel. Hurt, angered, enraged, degraded? I've never had children, but the lack of emotion, empathy, and human decency displayed in the words of this article make me equally nauseous and sad.

The type of person who would pen this article has nothing but contempt for all human beings, everywhere. He brings dishonor to us all.

Have they even read a single story about this woman? She simply does not want Bush using the death of her son to promote the war.
