Fifth Column
Reaction from the lunatic fringe

Cindy Sheehan, today:
I am sorry, but if you believe the newest death of OBL, you’re stupid. Just think to yourself–they paraded Saddam’s dead sons around to prove they were dead–why do you suppose they hastily buried this version of OBL at sea? This lying, murderous Empire can only exist with your brainwashed consent–just put your flags away and THINK!

I have a hard time bearing much ill will to Sheehan, no matter how nonsensical or inane her utterances get; who knows what the depths of grief can do to a parent’s mind? The widespread politicization of the grief, and the notion of the worst event in your life suddenly turning you into a celebrity with admirers, probably spurs one to react in strange ways.

But the degree to which the “anti-war” crowd – who today applauds war kinetic military action against Libya without Congressional approval, and who is today applauding unilateral military action on foreign soil without the host government’s knowledge or consent or U.N. approval — exploited Ms. Sheehan remains unforgivably appalling. They lost interest in Sheehan right about the moment she ran against Nancy Pelosi for Congress....

#1  Ah, reduced to commenting on a Facebook page.
Remember the good old days? The press at Crawford hanging on every word? Mo Dowd elevating you to some kinda antiwar goddess? Going to movie premieres with Sean Penn? Bending over with Medea to be used by Hugo and Fidel and every other anti American slob out there?
Thanks, Casey. It was fun while it lasted...
