Joy To The World

Via Stephen Spruiell, somebody in mainstream media finally confronted Cindy Sheehan about the nonsense she's been peddling. Norah O'Donnell on MSNBC:

...Let me begin by asking you, you know, Americans may hate the war, but they don't necessarily hate the president. How do you expect to get change by going around the world and trashing the president of the United States?

SHEEHAN: Actually, I don't hate the president either. I don't trash the president, I trash the president's foreign policy, which is fundamentally and inherently wrong and immoral. And I don't tell people around the world anything that they don't know.

O'DONNELL: But you called him the biggest terrorist in the world. So you are trashing the president.

SHEEHAN: Well you know he says a terrorist is somebody who kills innocent men, women and children, and there has been [sic] over 100,000 innocent men, women and children killed in Iraq on his orders.

I don't understand the mind of Sheehan, who denies trashing the president and then calmly and with no remorse explains why she has trashed the president. Part of it, of course, is that she was able to get away with it for so long. My August 29, 2005 post, Double Super-Secret Cindy Sheehan Quotes, lists just some of the outrageous language she used that, up to that time, had never been published by the Post. It's still one of the top posts bringing websurfers to my blog, who arrive here after plugging "Sheehan quotes" into a search engine.
