Moonbat Gratitude
Here's the mainstream media's thanks for relentlessly hyping, fawning over, and all but deifying the despicable neohippie Cindy Sheehan, from Newsweak I mean Newsweek:
Newsweek:
But the peace movement in the U.S. remains small. Why?
Sheehan:
One thing that has prevented the peace movement in America is the media. I spoke with 5,000 people in North Carolina on March 19, 2005, and the press called the protest "insignificant." They covered the Terri Schiavo case instead.
Newsweek:
You feel like you were mistreated by the press?
Sheehan:
They got hold of everything I've ever said and scrutinized it so carefully. They never scrutinized what Bush said. No one said, "Why did you lie to the American people and say there was WMD?" The press found an easy target in Iraq, and they found an easy target in me.
Time Magazine just piled some more mistreatment onto poor Mother Moonbat.

Probably as good a place as any to link to the one-stop shop for all your moonbattery needs.

I'm tickled that the site exhumes Daniel Ellesberg, claiming he knows much about the workings of our government....hasn't he not been associated in any way with our government for at least 30 some years? That't doesn't sound like much of a qualification to me.

Cindy Sheehan's Code Pinko Pests Versus GI Joe
One suggested tactic is the "buy and return." The idea is for activists themselves to purchase war toys and then head straight to customer service. There they return the offending products while engaging in a verbal strike — imploring managers to take "violent" toys off the shelves and pestering fellow customers about war toys' dangers. (Certainly, there's no better way to win converts than to gum up the return and exchange lines during the holiday rush.) Code Pink suggests pre-arranging local media to cover the impending ruckus.
At least Code Pink's "buy and return" silliness is probably legal. Operation "Stick It To 'Em," however, encourages activists to deface private property by placing surgeon general-style warning labels on offending toys. The Code Pink website includes helpful samples that, they explain, are easily printed on sticky mailing labels. One sums up the heart of the campaign: "Violent Toys=Violent Boys."
Oh, and, good morning lizardoids. Just a reminder, it's Not-Safe-For-Work Thursday at Caption This!

Oops, sorry, appended that from a comment at LGF.

That pic of Sheehan .... does her sweat shirt say "CRIPS"?

Don't mind the pic...she's just having a flashback to the flying-alien-squid suffocation scene from that 1950s sci-fi horror classic, "Not Of This Earth".
