Cindy Sheehan

You've heard about her. NYT did a spread. I haven't blogged about this because I felt like her story really doesn't deserve a filter, and to be honest, I'm not really that interested in it. Take it or leave it. But whether you like her, don't like her, or just don't care, I hope everyone can agree that this sort of smearing and slimeballing is not only over the top, it's just not what civil people say. It is disgusting and hateful. You just don't go around saying stuff like this:

a left wing media whore in the form of a grieving mother

about someone who has lost her son in a war. You just don't do it! Somebody needs to tell "Erick" that in this situation, his mamma's advice is well taken: "if you don't have anything nice to say, keep your trap shut sonny."
