DISTRUBING NEWS
Via Michael Moore’s website, Crawford celebrity Mother Sheehan reports:
Mike Rogers from Tokyo showed up today and a dear woman from Australia who was a human shield in Iraq and knows that the Iraqi people are not jumping for joy that the policies of Bush destroyed their country.
That’s from Bernie Slattery (who also has news of pointless nude activism). Who might this “dear woman from Australia” be? J.F. Beck detects the caring presence of Donna Mulhearn, who has ditched Iraq for the fun of sharing a roadside ditch with her anti-Bush allies:
After spending a just few hours in Camp Casey I feel immensely moved by this spontaneous and prophetic movement of truth.
I can’t count all the people here but it’s hundreds. The place is buzzing, people are connecting, teams of people have made a communal meal in the Peace House, a base in town where people go for showers and a cup of tea.
They heard that an Australian was coming and so I got a special welcome! There is a map of the US pinned up with marks of where everyone comes from. Someone had already written ‘Australia’ on the paper.
Cindy came to give me a big hug as soon as she heard my accent. When I told her about all the messages from Australia she hugged me again clearly moved by the thought of support from so many people there.
In the front room of the Peace House, a bunch of us are typing away on our laptops while someone gives Cindy’s aching feet a massage.
A young man rushes in spurting out distrubing news: he’s heard word that someone in a four wheel drive truck has driven over the crosses. People are racing around, shocked by such an act. It causes a rucus and everyone is talking at once.
Then Julie, on the floor with her computer on her lap, suddenly screams and covers her face. She has just read that a friend of hers was killed in Iraq. She’s sobbing. People rush to comfort her. No one knows what to say. It’s crazy now.
The war and the hatred that this war has created is all encompassing and far-reaching. It hurts in Baghdad, Mosul and Kerbala, it hurts in Crawford, Texas. It just hurts ...
PS: “When Bill Clinton lied, nobody died”. Sign at Crawford Peace House.
Oooh. Bet that caused a “rucus” at Crawford’s House of Saddamite Idiocy.
PS: “When Bill Clinton lied, nobody died”. Sign at Crawford Peace House.
Actually people died becasue Clinton simply didn’t care. International terrorists? Just turne ‘em over to the FBI since they are mearly criminals. Oh, and no you can’t actually tell the FBI where they are.
As for the girl who lost a friend, I do feel sorry for her, the lost soldier, and the family. But who’s hate was really involved. This is a volunteer army. Bush didn’t hate, he swallowed his fear and set about cleaning up Iraq. The soldier didn’t hate, he/she wanted to protect their family by helping cleaning up a bad neighborhood.
But the jihadies hate. iether that for they felt reverent glee in killing an American. Personally I wonder how many jihadies secretly wonder if their actions are really sins…The Madonna of the Ditch and her acolytes might want to consider setting up permanent headquarters at the old Branch Davidian site in Waco. Janet Reno’s not around anymore, so they ought to be safe there from Secret Service agents and anxious dove hunters.
Donna Mulhearn? Wasn’t she the human shield who gave up pretty quickly because she had left water boiling on the stove at home, or something?
Well there was that little fracas just down the road where a few children were put on the barbie.
There was that little aspirin factory thingy where the Congress had to payup do the faulty intel.
There were those nomads in the tents over there when Clinton “just missed OBL by that much”
There were a few(?) unspecified civies that departed earth when Clinton went on that Cruise Crusade there in the 90’s when the inspectors were vanquished from the scene and that Monica thing just happened to be on the front burner at the very same time.She writes as is if she is giddy. I wonder if she was stoned at the time? It seems like they are having quite the party. Nice premise too: Pull the Troops Out of Iraq Now! Yeah, that’ll show ‘em. Let’s just sit back and watch the whole region implode, then establish another tyrannt. Then we can go back and start the whole process over again. Great plan Cindy. Best wishes with the whole divorce thing…
Oh!! I must be fair.
Nobody died in the Sudan when the Sudanese Gov’t was willing to hand OBL over but we failed to take action because we had no outstanding charges to hold him on. I do note that we found enough lawyers to attempt to bankrupt Microsoft.
Nobody died a few years later when we had the entire OBL clan in one place for a wedding but blinked.
Peace out!
Does anyone actually believe the story about the woman finding out, there and then, that someone she knew had died in Iraq? I mean, what are the ridiculously small odds of that happening? Sounds like a typical embellishment of the perpetually outraged to make their cause seem slightly worthy.
And the aching feet bit? Oh come on. My heart bleeds.

“21-year-old Kyle in blue singlet and denim jeans has just come in, he’s a local Crawford resident, he’s come in to ask if he can join the peace camp. He gets lots of hugs and responds with a grin from ear to ear.”
No wonder he’s grinning. He knows full well that he’s gunna have bagged plenty of activist tail by the time they’ve packed up and left town.

Wow, that’s an awesome group. How can any conservative movement stand up against that sort of capability. Communal meals, cups of tea, typing. And… are there any videos of people connecting?Funny that the young man who rushed in “spurting out” news felt the need to identify the rogue cross-trampling vehicle as a ‘four-wheel drive’/SUV. Would it have been OK if it had been a Volvo with a ‘Free Tibet’ sticker on the bumper? What is it with moonbats and SUVs? Are SUVs like those invisible black helicopters that the Guv’mint uses?
If they’ve got a human shield we have GOT to send a bulldozer…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 08 16 at 07:49 PM • permalinkI hear the numbers at camp Casey are an astounding 150, of which about half are press.
I know people say this is a big deal, but I don’t know anyone outside of the media that is talking about it. The price of gas is a bigger deal by far.
I don’t know about the story of the guy killed in Iraq. Casualty numbers are not that high. You would have a better chance of knowing some hit by lightning.
And they sound like girls going to the prom.
Exploiting your son’s death is kinda tacky. I feel sorry for the lady, but enough is enough. He was a volunteer who re-enlisted and died on a mission he volunteered to go on. They did not drag him off the back porch and send him kicking and screaming off to war.
As for the Bill lied and nobody died stuff…it should be remembered that Bill Clinton wrote the Iraqi Liberation Act and he said that not only did Saddam have weapons of mass destruction, he guaranteed us he would use them. So how is that so different from what George Bush said? Well except that Bush did not guarantee us Saddam would use the weapons.
The ability of liberals to forget that fact is astounding. What is the medical term for that? memory falsification syndrome? Yep, if not for Bill making the removal of Saddam Hussein our national policy the Democrats might never have been willing to vote for authorization for the force resolution. How soon the moonbats forget.
“Then Julie, on the floor with her computer on her lap, suddenly screams and covers her face. She has just read that a friend of hers was killed in Iraq.”
What a load of bullshit.
And, who’s paying for this crazy cow Mulhearn to go trooping off all over the world?
“Madonna of the Ditch” :>) - that’s going to be stolen, forthwith.

Bad imagery. Ikea openings are deadly. Ban Ikea openings.
Posted by walterplinge on 2005 08 17 at 03:39 AM • permalinkMemo to Donna Mulhearn.
wanted: human shields to ride on public transport in any Western country to protect innocent passengers being deliberately targeted by Islamofascists. All offers considered, anyone accepted.
Please Donna, please come and shield me in my hour of need.

Note that it says she “just read it”, not that her friend was “just killed”. Even discounting the obvious possibility that it’s all bullshit, maybe she merely just found out that some guy she kinda-sorta knew in high school was killed back in 2003 or whenever. These people are often slow on the uptake, after all.

Was that before or after the oil-washing and hair-drying?
Yeah, sure.
