When I was in high school I used to swim on the Columbia campus most days, where it was common to hear leftist protests against the U.S. military. When we would pass by my brother would mock them by saying things like "U.S. out of New Orleans!"
Funny that
Cindy Sheehan has now picked up on his caricature. As I have been saying here since
August 18, the news media's decision to canonize Cindy Sheehan would backfire because of her radical leftist views. Statements like "
the moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute" were made with the same poor judgement as Rathergate. Both were caused by a blind overeagerness to discredit George W. Bush and the Iraq war effort.
Update:
Power Line documents Sheehan's strong Communist ties.
