Cindy Sheehan: will self-denegrate for coverage

Mark said:
Answer the question, Jocko: What law did Cindy Sheehan break that justifies your use of the word "Traitor?"

If you were engaging in hyperbole as Elind says, just say so.

The "fair" comment was addressed to Elind, not you, genius.

I know what you said to whom. That's why I said you should listen to Elind. Because you don't (yet) have a reason to scream bloody murder at the mention of his name the way you do with mine.

As to my choice of words, it was not hyperbole.

trai·tor Audio pronunciation of "traitor" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (trtr)

One who is funded by a hostile regime to execute propeganda against their own government is, in my opinion, one who has betrayed her country, cause and trust. I never said it was criminal (note the "especially" clause, would you please?).

You read one word and saw another. You are the one given to hyperbole, not me. And unlike you, I have actually given you some evidence to support my claims of your dishonesty. I've given up on your giving an honest answer to your hyperbolic Coulter comparison, so let's move on, shall we?

So, how about that election? Cindy in '06! Would you vote for her if you had a chance?

So you were engaging in hyperbole, not stating a legal opinion. Fine. Choose your words more carfeully in the future.

Not true.

Your opinion of me remains just that: your opinion.

No.

Oh, you mean things like....



And that's just on page 2. Let me know when your circle-stroke with Mark is through, mmkay?

Here's my bottom line and last contribution to this thread.

You ask a question, don't like the answer, so you accuse the person of avoiding it.

You throw around terms like traitor even though you have no evidence to support it.

You can't seem to avoid sinking to childish name calling and now quasi-obscene references.

When called on something, rather then defend it or retract it, you point to another's words which you seem to feel are similar and doing so is some type of response.

None of these are the signs of someone who wants to rationally discuss an issue.

Feel free to continue your comments at whatever level you're most comfortable, but I grew out of it 40 years ago and am not interested.

Fox News just reported that Mother Sheehan was just detained in the House gallery and led out in handcuffs for trying to unfurl a banner that was in her lap.

Doesn't she know to wait til the party's started to make a biigger splash?

On ABC news she was arrested for wearing a T-shirt. I guess Fox saw more ..

Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to the speech and covered it up until she took her seat.

She was invited there by some Dem congresman I believe, but I didn't catch who. Unbelievably bad taste. Did he really expect her to just sit there and watch?

I'm surprised she wasn't planning to expose one of her breasts, accidentally.

:eye-poppi

The Fox report was wrong. She had no banner to unfurl. She was wearing a T-shirt with the number of people killed in Iraq.

Did she have a bra on? They do have a dress code at these things I believe.

I think the time when women were arrested for not wearing a bra ended a few decades ago. Do you wear one?

OK. Silly comment, meant to state that there is a certain formality in these events that I have no problem with. T shirts, slogan and nipples are on the casual side.

Reminds me of watching American Idol. This is the first year I've paid attention (showing my age), but it's really quite entertaining except I can't understand why people who want to be seen by millions, even those with talent, all come on looking like they deliberately wanted to be a slob.

They don't dress like that when they win, do they?
