Sheehan On Hardball

Cindy Sheehan on Hardball With Chris Matthews last night. Draw your own conclusions:


Chris Matthews: If your son had been killed in Afghanistan, would you have a different feeling?

Cindy Sheehan: I don't think so, Chris, because I believe that Afghanistan is almost the same thing.

Chris Matthews: But Afghanistan was harboring the Taliban, was harboring al Qaeda, which is the group that attacked us on 9/11.

Cindy Sheehan: Well, then we should have gone after al Qaeda and maybe not the country of Afghanistan.

A few days ago I asked who said these quotes. The answer to all of them was Cindy Sheehan. Some of them predate her August antics down in Crawford, Texas. Here they are again, for your perusal:

"America has been killing people on this continent since it was started. This country is not worth dying for."

"[The U.S. government] is a morally repugnant system. We have no Constitution. We’re the only country with no checks and balances. We want our country back if we have to impeach George Bush down to the person who picks up the dog sh-t in Washington!"

"[Lynne Stewart, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman's lawyer who was recently convicted of aiding and abetting Islamo-terrorists] is my Atticus Finch"

"We might not even have been attacked by Osama bin Laden..."

"We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now."

"In their secret hiding places, while celebrating newly won fortunes with their fellow brass, these men must surely congratulate themselves with orgies of carnal pleasure as they mock the multitudes who are yet so blind as to mistake them for God's devoted servants."
