Seriously, I know there are serious mental conditions and I don't mean to insult those who have them by comparing them to Sheehan.<br /><br />She lost her mind in her fascination with being a media star. <br /><br />Dale, come back soon, even though you are not a conservative. You deride Hanoi Jane, so obviously you have some right leaning perspective.

I would also say that Jesse Jackson needs to get a real job and stop jetting about the country on his eternal photo ops. I can say this...and I'm not even a conservative!Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09014664438440645434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-62921089863369332482007-01-30T20:01:00.000-06:002007-01-30T20:01:00.000-06:00Oh, Robert, while I take many issues with this pos...Oh, Robert, while I take many issues with this post, the one I'll comment on is this:<br /><br />Unless you have academic credentials to diagnose the mental health of public figures, your labeling of CS as a "manic-depressive" is in poor taste. If you do have such credentials, then you would be aware that your assessment is misguided, at best, and certainly borders on unethical practice.<br /><br />Call her pathetic if you want to, but Bipolar I and Bipolar II are both serious mental health conditions that should not be trivialized in your dismissal of CS.mslibertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00408513696371999732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-55575059530258529252007-01-30T14:19:00.000-06:002007-01-30T14:19:00.000-06:00She and John Kerry make quite the American pair!

This is the same soldier that apparently received a threatening letter when he was <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/archives/004021.htm">first admitted to Walter Reed</a>. <br /><br />He got a lot of attention from that. Fox & Friends made a huge deal out of it, as well as the honeybees of the right-wing blog-o-sphere. They all encouraged their viewers and readers to send him all kinds of goodness.<br /><br />Now he's mentioned in a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/washington/28protest.html?ex=1327640400&en=f1fcbb4f7b6e2453&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss">NYT article</a>:<br /><br /><i>There were a few tense moments, however, including an encounter involving Joshua Sparling, 25, who was on crutches and who said he was a corporal with the 82nd Airborne Division and lost his right leg below the knee in Ramadi, Iraq. Mr. Sparling spoke at a smaller rally held earlier in the day at the United States Navy Memorial, and voiced his support for the administration’s policies in Iraq.<br /><br />Later, as antiwar protesters passed where he and his group were standing, words were exchanged and one of the antiwar protestors spit at the ground near Mr. Sparling; he spit back.<br /><br />Capitol police made the antiwar protestors walk farther away from the counterprotesters.<br /><br />“These are not Americans as far as I’m concerned,” Mr. Sparling said.</i><br /><br />I'm not entirely convinced they were real people, either. The article doesn't cite any witnesses to the event, no does it even quote Sparling except at the very end. <br /><br />Interestingly enough this hearkens back to stories of Vietnam solders being spat upon by anti-war protesters. These stories may very well be at best greatly exaggerated or at worst <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/04/30/debunking_a_spitting_image/?">urban legend</a>.<br /><br />Now what is documented pretty well is a fairly recent event in which Jane Fonda <a href="http://www.local6.com/entertainment/4397174/detail.html">was spit upon</a> by a Vietnam vet at a book signing in Kansas City. Am I to blame everyone I don't agree with for that episode? No. I blame the man that spit upon her, and she did NOT press charges upon.Nichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04218887848587082106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21307924.post-83889449914555265042007-01-30T12:21:00.000-06:002007-01-30T12:21:00.000-06:00Did I miss the part where you tied this one person...Did I miss the part where you tied this one person to everyone who disagrees with the Iraq War?
