ZOA Begs For Sanity on Sheehan

ZOA Begs For Sanity on Sheehan

By Omri Ceren

The Zionist Organization of American is urging Congressmen and Congresswomen not to grant Cindy Sheehan the honor of hearings with members of the Legislative branch of the United States federal government. Too late:

Cindy Sheehan was in Washington, D.C. this week and had meetings with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) and the chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist (R-TN). She is scheduled to meet with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) this Tuesday. Her scheduled meeting with McCain is especially surprising, as Senator McCain, when asked if President Bush should meet with Sheehan, said, "If I was President of the United States, I probably wouldn't meet her ... Sheehan is probably being used by anti-war groups."
We wonder if she made any of the following very calm, reasonable, and not at all hysterical points in any of those meetings:
* "America has been killing people on this continent since it was started. This country is not worth dying for..."
* "When I was growing up, it was Communists. Now it's Terrorists. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything."
* "They're not waging a War on Terror but a War of Terror. The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush."
* "My son joined the army to protect America, not Israel."
* "You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism."
* "Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."
* "George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans."
* "We have this lying bastard, George Bush, taking a 5-week vacation in a time of war."

The New Orleans quote is always good, but we hadn’t heard the Internet one before.

Don't forget that Sheehan also said she would not pay her taxes.

The son, killed in Iraq, was active in the Catholic Church. The mother's public appearances are a blessing for parts of the Republican Party.

ZOA has never modernized. The US Congress is so large and diversified, it's relatively easy to get a podium. ZOA is fighting the incoming tide and the changing phases of the moon.

Crazier than a sh*thouse rat! Don't be there when this trainwreck gets hit by the inevitable meteor. But ya kno itsa comin'

Actually it is quite pitiful that the figureheads of a political platform would allow this naive person to publicly humiliate herself. Cheap low-class tactics. On the other hand she'll probably end up sitting next to Carter at the next national convention.

btw; During the period leading up to last year's elections, here in the US, my answering machine was attacked daily by pre-recorded messages from the Left wing. It just happened again this week but only one time. It referenced Tom Delay and the Texas indictment.

I thought to myself, they're still not over it. Intransigence.

I must agree with Franco that, as an American citizen, Cindy has every right to continue making a public fool and nuisance of herself, though, like the rest of her family, I want no part of her. Her son, G-d grant him rest, volunteered twice, though, remember? No one made him go in harm's way; he chose to. As for seating her with a senile old fool (Carter) at the Demoncrat convention, well, birds of a feather, etc. I confess, with no pride, whatsoever, that I voted for Franco's "king george", twice, but all the demos offered me was an arrogant idiot (Gore: I'm a Tennessean, and we know him better than anybody) and a traitorous war criminal (Kerry). What choices, huh? G-d help America!
