Wingnut oppo on a bereaved war mom
Posted by Jill | 5:03 PM

First we had Drudge taking Cindy Sheehan out of context as a means of smearing her credibility as she continues her vigil in Crawford, Texas. Now we have an even lower breed of pond scum deciding that he knows more about what a perfect stranger, someone he never met, would think than his own mother does.

Imagine a political apparatus that feels it has to do opposition research on a woman who lost her son in a war. I mean, just how low and chickenshit can you get?

All Bush has to do is go out and talk to Cindy Sheehan, tell her what this "noble cause" is that her son died in -- and not just more platitudes; tell her something real.

What's the worst that will happen, she'll yell at him? She's not stupid, and she's not crazy. She's not going to take a swing at him, and even if she did, he'll be surrounded by Secret Service. Instead, the chickenshit little punk is cowering behind the fences, afraid of a mom from the Republican enclave of Vacaville, California.

THAT's your commander-in-chief, folks -- a man too cowardly to face one woman's questions. A man so terrified of the truth that he's going to brand her a national security threat and have her arrested -- when Osama Bin Laden still runs free.

That's your president.

UPDATE: Hoffmania has a response to Newman's smear of Cindy Sheehan from a reader who's veteran of this war.
