The Sheehan PR Machine

Actually, PR Machine behind Cindy Sheehan has been reported by ABC 7 News in San Francisco:

Sheehan's message hasn't changed since she got here, but the support staff interested in getting that message out to the world has grown considerably.
Organizers are set up in a house trailer. Their meetings closed to reporters.


Cohen's group (TrueMajority) has teamed up with Berkeley based Moveon.org, an anti-Bush group co-founded by Joan Blades....

Earlier this month, MoveOn helped organize anti-war vigils in support of Cindy Sheehan...

Current Democratic National Party Chair Howard Dean's organization Democracy for America is also involved, as is the more radical anti-war group CodePink organized by San Francisco's Medea Benjamin...

This week Simi Valley California Gold Star wife Melanie House flew to Idaho for a protest and then flew to Crawford.

ABC7's Mark Matthews: "Can you tell us if you're getting help in airfare to come down here?"
Melanie House: "What difference does that make?"


There is real reluctance to talk about who's paying, and the P.R. machine that's promoting Cindy Sheehan, but not everyone here is completely comfortable with it...

This circus is pure Left wing hate-mongering...

These people haven't gotten over the fact that the majority of Americans re-elected George W. Bush as President...

Cindy Sheehan's anti-Bush, anti-war rhetoric is disgusting to me...but I don't think the woman's got a clue about what/who is backing her...

Then again...maybe she does...
