Cindy Sheehan up for Auction.... No bids yet.... |
2006-02-09 |
The ultimate Attention Whore..... Hat Tip Michelle Malkin The journey toward truth often begins with one simple act of faith and determination. Cindy Sheehan spent months searching for answers for why her son had to give his life in Iraq, and months traveling across the country wading through the spin and the lies seeking a truth that never came. When enough was at long last enough, Cindy went to Crawford, Texas and sat down. And in that one quiet moment of determination, a ripple of truth became a great river, joined in its journey by the tributaries of thousands of others who could not ignore the simple power of one grieving mother asking, "Why?" Cindy has become an inspiration to many who fight for truth. She is an example of the extraordinary power we each possess to make change in the world. Because we in the progressive community are on this journey with her, Cindy is generously donating some of her time to help raise money for the YearlyKos Convention (see below for more info on YearlyKos). You are bidding on a speaking engagement with Cindy Sheehan. Cindy will come speak to a group of your choice (within the continental US)*, and any speaking fees and transportation costs will be waived (your group will only need to provide lodging for the night). This is a wonderful opportunity to treat your group to an evening of motivation, inspiration, truth, and the indomitable power of a mother's * Note: Because of the obvious potential for right-wing shenanigans, Cindy retains the right to refuse to speak to groups antithetical to her cause or offensive to her beliefs. So much for the 'light of truth'. If no group can be agreed upon, the winning bidder will receive a full refund. |

#16 Cyber Sarge, Your right, my apologies to all those hard working women, to align them with that sad excuse is inexcusable. |

#15 I think we should pool our money and place a bid from some remote location (Fairbanks Alaska or Bagdad, Iraq) where it would cost more then the bid to ship Mother Cindy Shithan..... From the Progressive Party of --location--. I'm sure the good citizens of Bagdad would welcome her with open 'arms'..... |

#8 And in that one quiet moment of determination, a ripple of truth became a great river, joined in its journey by the tributaries of thousands of others . . . . . . channelled through the elaborate flood-control system of the mainstream press, cleansed of all extremist moonbattery by the sewage treatment plant of a professional media relations firm, and piped into America's homes in a fluoridated stream of 10-second sound bites. |

#7 You guys should check out the other items that Yearly Kos has sold! Hillarious! A "authentic" George W. Bush voodoo doll (from New Orleans...yeah right), and a pair of Bosnian socks, that these yahoos paid $50-100 for! They've probably collected about a total of $400 from their previous sales, hardly covers the airfare, doesn't it? |

#6 Calling her a whore is demeaning to whores. Whores don't pretend about what or who they are. plus I have infinately more respect for whores that I do cindy. |

#5 We should bid this out the roof, and then let her deny us because it is a pro Iraq war group. Thus blowing out the whole process. This attention whore is selling her dead son's memory on Ebay. She has reached a new low. |
