#1 Boy, it would sure be good to see America's sedition laws dusted off and enforced aggressively. I guess I can only dream about seditious traitors facing a firing squad.

#2 I have serious doubts about the 100,000 anti-war figure. The pictures I have seen of the protest (mostly at LGF) have only shown maybe 20,000. For a "serious", national protest that is a fizzle.

#3 I'd actually like to introduce sheehan to some of these terrorists she refers to as freedom fighters. I think this STUPID BITCH would drasticly change her tune when they started sawing her head off!!!

#5 That figure of 100,000 is complete bullshit.

I did some pretty careful analysis of this crowd photo from Yahoo and came up with a maximum of 26,000 for the crowd, and a most likely number of 16,000-18,000.

In other words, about a third of the number of people at an average NFL game.

#6 Cindy is getting hammered over at dailykos,she said"Why is the media focusing on Huricane Rita.it's nothing but a little wind and rain".

Here's her post and a few replies. I'd say her times about up;

i am watching cnn and it is 100 percent ritaâ¦even though it is a little wind and a little rainâ¦it is bad, but there are other things going on in this country todayâ¦and in the world!!!!

Iâm in Southeast Texas with family on the coast and in Lake Jackson, LA. Iâd like you to tell us itâs just a little wind and rain. Theyâve lost their homes, jobs and businesses and gone through fear and panic while you bask in your fanâs adulation, party with your celebrity friends and play the star.
Shame on you, youâre jealous of media coverage of otherâs suffering. Youâve become a caricature and I no longer support you. Iâm ashamed I ever did.

when i was watching cnn this morning, thatâs what it wasâ¦i know it was much worse earlier and it was devastating, i didnât make myself clear and i apologize. i also know that the media will cover anything else besides the war.

Cindy, these posts have time stamps. when i was watching cnn this morning, thatâs what it was
Four hours before your post, the eye hit just east of Port Arthur and west of Lake Charles. Between then and two hours after your post, hurricane force winds were tearing through Beaumont and Orange, TX and all through Vermillion Parrish, LA..
Imagine, if you can, what was happening to those poor people while you were watching tv and getting upset about them covering "a little wind and a little rain" rather than your special day.
it was devastating earlier
And during. And after.
You might also realize that the people in a hurricaneâs wake donât suddenly get happy and whole an hour after the eye passes over. Itâs still not a little wind and a little rain to them. Do you know they are still very afraid down there - right now, Cindy, trying to find 1,000 people lost in Vermillion as I type..

You can find the story now on CNNâs website. Iâm very sorry, itâs slightly above the story about you - thatâs just so unfair too isnât it.

i also know that the media will cover anything else besides the war.

Well Joan Baez sang for you today, and you got your smiling-happy picture taken with Jesse Jackson today, and your story is still front page on CNN.com today. So it was a very good day. Yes it was a beautiful day for Cindy wasnât it? Except for a little wind and a little rain earlier.

That is damn stupid. The death toll from these hurricanes is still rising, and you really think the Iraq war doesnât get covered? What a selfish woman! Iâd be downright ashamed to read anything else you have to say from here on in.

Hiyas! This is Rationality from DailyKOS and a yet-to-be-exposed mole in the Free Republic, where I saw the link to this blog. Just thought Iâd say that left or right, we can agree that Sheehanâs more about herself than about truly starting an anti-war movement.

Hmm... the words "no visible means of support" had come to mind. Who is paying for Cindy's tour?

#8 eLarson: Cindy's tour is being paid for by ANSWER and "United for Peace and Justice", another Workers World front organization. I think some other moonbat organizations are chipping in.
