Cindy Sheehan shows her true colors

[SeaSong]

<p>SB,</p>

<p>Please. Lauras’ attack was as you said, one sided and non-edifying (about FS).</p>

<p>You absolutely attacked Ms. Siren and you do yourself a disservice to act other wise. who are you kidding? You’ve been relentless. </p>

<p>The point was that Cindy Sheehan has become a disgrace to herself and her son, but it is not all her fault. She has been lead into this by people who defend her behavior leading her further and further into her own dark crevices. Looking back through this thread I can’t see where your nemesis said anything not said by anyone else, and often with a good bit of subtlety. </p>

<p>As opposed to:</p>

<p>

“Sheehan is a lunatic”
“Sheehan is a vile anti-American commie.”
“Cindy Sheehan is ugly”
“If you want to see someone who is truly unamerican, Sheehan fits the bill.”
“it borders on treason”
“Even her husband couldn’t stand her behavior and divorced her as a result - good for him!!! Perhaps she would benefit from some grief counseling. She has ruined her son’s memory and her marriage”

</p>

<p>Then directly at you and a few others here:

“You know what, laura, SBmom, et al? Why don’t you talk to the grieving mothers of Saddam’s victims, or of the victims of palestinian suicide bombers?”
and this:
“I have a feeling that the libs on this board strongly feel that Sheehan’s assertions are “right,” that it is Bush who is the dictator who lied in order to murder minorities and christians to enrich his oil buddies, etc.”
and this:
“Impressive, SBmom. You make an ad hominem attack on FountainSiren because she doesn’t concede the validity of any of your points? You doubt her ability as a competent literary critic because she, in her thought-out and well-supported posts, doesn’t agree with you?”
and this:
“leveraging her status as a “greiving mother” for personal aggrandizment for more than a year now. That she can get people to defend her rhetoric, while condemning the U.S. to police state status is a marvel I won’t soon forget.”

</p>

<p>As to comparing Ghandi’s tactics to Sheehans, it was said in a post. I read it. That is some serious parsing you did.</p>

<p>How about “Comparing drug use to serving in the US military”
As you said, in a comparison to Shehan’s antics, “a parent of a kid who OD’d could be anti drug even though their kid loved doing drugs, right?” How is your comparison superior or more appropriate? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.</p>

<p>Of all the ad hominem attacks in this thread, FS seems to be the only one to fess up to having ever used them. Others are perhaps above such honesty, they have a rep to maintain.</p>
