Trying to ignore her

Joan Baez has just shown up. She has now proven her insignifigance in 5 different decades. This must be some kind of record.
 
Y'know, I am so far past the point of caring whether this harpy lives or dies. We sent ATF into Waco to bust up a cult...can't we spare one freakin' sniper to off this hussy? What Texas jury would ever convict?
 
Y'know, they're so single-mindedly moronic in spouting their rhetoric that thay can't even recognize that this drivel hurts rather than helps their cause. Shows you that the cause is not the most important thing to them, doesn't it?

She must be trying to get into the Guiness book of Records
 
Personally, I'm weighing all the crap thrown at her and wondering to myself.

What she is saying isn't entirely a load of shit. If she was easily dismissable as a nutbar, the press wouldn't be trying to dig up as many skeletons in the closet as possible on her in order to discredit her.

What she is doing, is echoing a lot of other people's feelings re: the war in Iraq.
That kind of honesty is hurtful. :shrug:

What it is, is a combination of slow news period, sensationalism, and any excuse to make Bush look bad. That does not diminish her nuttiness one iota.

Sensationalism and Bush-bashing I can see...but there's plenty going 'round the world to fill up the front pages :)

I chalk it up to lazyness, more than slow-news days.
 
This woman may have gone from politically misguided to simply stupid.

Rush: ...August the 15th, nine days ago, ladies and gentlemen, on PMSNBC, Hardboiled with Chris Matthews, Cindy Sheehan, the "nonpartisan" guest. Matthews said, "Can I ask you a tough question -- a very tough question? If your son had been killed in Afghanistan, would you have a different feeling,"

SHEEHAN: I don't think so, Chris, because I believe that Afghanistan is almost the same thing, where we're fighting terrorism -- or terrorists, we're saying -- but they're not contained in a country. You know, this is an ideology and not an in an enemy, and we know that Iraq, Iraq had no terrorism. They were no threat to the United States of America.

Mathews: "But Afghanistan was harboring the Taliban and Al-Qaeda which is the group that attacked us on 9/11."

SHEEHAN: Then we should have gone after Al-Qaeda, and maybe not after the country of Afghanistan.

MATTHEW: That's where they were headquartered. Shouldn't we go after their headquarters?

SHEEHAN: Well, but there were a lot of innocent people killed in that invasion too. I'm not a military strategist, but I'm saying that we're sending our ground troops in to invade countries where the entire country wasn't the problem, and especially Iraq. You know, Iraq was no problem, and why do we send in invading armies to march into Afghanistan when we're looking for a select group of people in that country? So, um, I believe that our troops, um, should be brought home out of both places. We're obviously not having any success in Afghanistan. [sic] Osama bin Laden is still on the loose and, you know, that's who they told us was responsible --

MATTHEWS: Are you serious? I ask that --

Ladies & Gentlemen, give it up for Pat Boone

"This lady and the groups that have been demonstrating in front of the president's ranch in Crawford and following him around are the very same people that were the dropout, turn-on, anti-war peace activists back [in the Vietnam War era]," Boone said. "They still have this crazy notion that by just being peaceful and maybe toking up or something like that – it's like an ostrich with its head in the sand – maybe the danger and the bad guys will go away and leave you alone, which is not gonna happen."

"But, look," he said, "when [terrorists] destroy the World Trade Center right in front of your eyes in Manhattan and you know they're going to do the same and worse things, to just sit back and say 'Oh, let's try not to make 'em mad at us, let's don't rock the boat, let's just say peace is the answer, we love you, we love you' ... we're just sitting ducks. More World Trade Centers, more 9-11s are gonna happen unless we try to take the battle to them on their turf instead of letting 'em bring it to us on ours."

"I look back on it, and I am very, very, very grateful he did not meet with me, because we have sparked and galvanized the peace movement," she said. "If he'd met with me, then I would have gone home, and it would have ended there."

Yep, it's allll about that 15 minutes, isn't it, Cindy? Let us know when you're done spitting on Casey's memory, would you?
 
Its a figure of speech, Eric.

steal someone's thunder - to use the words or ideas of another person before they have a chance to, especially to gain the approval of a group or audience - from the story of playwright John Dennis who invented a way of creating the sound of thunder for the theatre for his play Appius and Virginia in 1709. The play flopped but his thunder effect was used without his permission in a production of Macbeth. Dennis was said to have remarked 'They will not let my play run, but they steal my thunder'.

In this context, I mean to imply, as a joke, that the republican war machine created the hurricane via magic in order to shove madame Sheehan from the headlines.
