Friday, August 19, 2005 Prayers for Cindy & Her Mom who Suffered a Stroke Yahoo: Cindy Sheehan told reporters she had just received the phone call and was leaving immediately to be with her 74 yr old mother at a LA hospital. "I'll be back as soon as possible if it's possible," she said, and she leaves Camp Casey in the hands of fellow anti-war protesters and family members who have lost loved ones in Iraq. Read her "Vigils" post about how much she appreciates the nearly 1700 vigils that took place around the nation Weds night, and she addresses the anti-Semite smear that will not die. Rabbi Arthur Waskow of the Shalom Center verifies that he has personally investigated this smear and that he concludes that the War Fans and GOPers are just trying to paint her as a Jew hater when in fact she has said no such thing. But unfortunately, nothing will stop those on the other side from calling her an anti-Semite: Please watch this Media Matters clip of G Gordon Liddy attacking Cindy and he actually claims that the word Neo-Con is liberal code word for Jew... WTF!??) and also please watch David Horowitz attack Cindy by saying: "She exploits her dead son" and treats him "like an idiot who was used by deceitful liars". Well, I'm sure Casey was no idiot, but he sure as hell has been used by deceitful liars. |
