The Zionist Organization of American is urging Congressmen and Congresswomen not to grant Cindy Sheehan the honor of hearings with members of the Legislative branch of the United States federal government. Too late:
Cindy Sheehan was in Washington, D.C. this week and had meetings with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) and the chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist (R-TN). She is scheduled to meet with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) this Tuesday. Her scheduled meeting with McCain is especially surprising, as Senator McCain, when asked if President Bush should meet with Sheehan, said, “If I was President of the United States, I probably wouldn’t meet her … Sheehan is probably being used by anti-war groups.”
We wonder if she made any of the following very calm, reasonable, and not at all hysterical points in any of those meetings:
* “America has been killing people on this continent since it was started. This country is not worth dying for…”
* “When I was growing up, it was Communists. Now it’s Terrorists. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything.”
* “They’re not waging a War on Terror but a War of Terror. The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush.”
* “My son joined the army to protect America, not Israel.”
* “You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you’ll stop the terrorism.”
* “Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn’t know anything, and we would already be a fascist state.”
* “George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans.”
* “We have this lying bastard, George Bush, taking a 5-week vacation in a time of war.”
The New Orleans quote is always good, but we hadn’t heard the Internet one before.
