SubscribeCindy Sheehan Agrees With Jeremiah Wright
From the online insane asylum AfterDowningStreet.org:
Chickens of Our Own Making
Sat, 2008-03-15
By Cindy Sheehan
“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye. We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”
– Reverend Jeremiah Wright; Sept. 16th 2001
White America refuses to study, reflect, and learn a lesson from history…
– Malcom X in “Chickens Coming Home to Roost”
Malcolm X’s story is familiar to many people here in America. Denzel Washington played him brilliantly in the eponymous movie. Malcolm X never backed down from a challenge or from the truth. In his speech after the horrible assassination of Pres. John Kennedy, he rightly said that, “White America refuses to study, reflect and learn lessons from history.” Apparently, some people in black America aren’t so good at learning from the past, either.
Senator Barack Obama is being credited by many with being the candidate of “change and hope.” For the life of me, I would love to believe this. I would love to believe that anyone who is still involved in the race for the White House (that is rarely won by the most honest, sharpest, or best candidate) will bring hope and healing to our broken nation that desperately needs it. After almost eight years of ruinous BushCo, and really since April 30, 1789 when George Washington took his first oath of office, our country has been ruled by white men who have been several cuts above our third president named George, but who more often than not have been disastrous, also.
Barack Obama has denounced the above remarks of his mentor and pastor, Rev. Wright saying: “I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies.” Let’s parse the Rev’s statement.
“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye.”
Yes, on December 7th, 1941 (another day that will live in infamy), a US Naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked by Japan. On that day, 2338 American service personnel were tragically killed, but there was little of what our Pentagon calls “collateral damage,” civilians killed. As a matter of fact, during WWII, Japan killed very few American civilians. However, the US military command in the Pacific killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians in aerial bombings and with the use of the new WMD; H-bombs. General Curtis LeMay informed future Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara (who was under LeMay during WWII), that if the US had lost they would have been tried as “war criminals.” The loss of innocent life in Japan was numbered in the hundred of thousands and I don’t hear Senator Obama denouncing those acts of cowardice.
We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, I think there is little dispute that Israel (which I assume is what Obama refers to when he says “allies”) receives approximately three billion dollars in aid from the U.S. each year and have brutally oppressed and occupied Palestinian lands for decades. In a one week’s period this month, Israel killed over 300 Palestinians and was “shocked” when 8 Jewish seminary students were killed in return. I hate and reject all loss of innocent life no matter what is the color, religion or nation of origin. I think Senator Obama may buy into the neocon lie that somehow Israeli or American lives are more precious than Arab lives or black lives. Not only has the US supported state-sanctioned terrorism in such places as Palestine and South Africa, but we are committing some more of our own in Iraq and Afghanistan.
…and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.
Yes, with arrogant American exceptionalism, we were indignant when almost 3000 of our brothers and sisters were killed on 9-11. We were indignant and we were stunned, shocked and sorrowed. But instead of searching our collective souls and reflecting about why they “hate us” so much, our insane president (backed by a bloodthirsty gang of racist opportunists) set off on a mission to send more chickens out into the world that will be a helluva bitch when they come home to roost.
Senator Obama also denounced any remarks that “disparaged our great country.” Hmm…does he denounce remarks that his own wife made about being proud to be an American for the first time in her “adult life?” I wish I could be proud of a nation that tortures people and imprisons them without basic legal rights. I wish I could be proud of a nation that has a sitting president that has been responsible for killing almost a million innocent Iraqi people in a misadventure that was based on lies and is for profit. I wish I could be proud of a nation that rapes its poor people to feed the already rich in a demented reverse Robin Hood affect. I wish I could be proud of a country where over a million children are homeless and hungry every night. I wish I could be proud of a nation that left our black brothers and sisters hanging off of their roofs after Katrina. The list can go on and on. Senator Obama needs to denounce me, because the policies of our government do not make me proud and oftentimes endlessly disgust me.
As a nation, we need to pull together and denounce the policies of our government, which were the cause of 9/11. We need to apologize for the gory excesses of BushCo and we must learn how to conserve and cut-back on our own consumeristic orgies to give the rest of the world some creature comforts that are basic human rights. We need to call our “chickens” back home to peacefully roost before they roost again in violence.
I sit here behind my computer screen in solidarity with Rev. Wright. Not only do I not denounce him, but I support him in telling the truth. I wish Senator Obama would recall how he once stood for truth. A desk in the oval office that has been corrupted by years of calumny is not worth selling ones soul for.
We need to “study, reflect and learn” from our history that has been violent, but where elected officials mostly fed the carnage for imperial conquest and corporate profit. The next step is “change.” True change; not more of nationalistic “same old, same old.” with a different name.
As if any further proof was needed of how anti-American are Mr. Wright’s pronouncements.
(Thanks to Zilla for the heads up.)

This is your mind on communism. History is just one big blur after years of indoctrination (and a few bags of weed) isn’t it Cindy?
“On that day, 2338 American service personnel were tragically killed, but there was little of what our Pentagon calls “collateral damage,” civilians killed.”-That’s right, just 2338 service personal-nothing to get upset about.
“As a matter of fact, during WWII, Japan killed very few American civilians.” Right, Imperial Japan was so careful to avoid civilian casualties. They showed great respect for human life throughout their empire.
“I wish I could be proud of a nation that left our black brothers and sisters hanging off of their roofs after Katrina.”- Yeah, we just left them there and they were all black too. I’d like to take back my contribution to the relief efforts but the fact is a lot of white people made sacrifices to help those who didn’t get out when told to.
“I wish I could be proud of a nation that tortures people and imprisons them without basic legal rights.”- Actually I believe you are proud of many such nations, as long as they hate America too.
Cindy, you are as dumb as you are ugly.

Of course she does. And she’s not alone. For those who haven’t seen what my brother in law WHO IS A PASTOR TOO sent me http://www.mindfully.org
It was done so innocently linking me to a page that had to do with end of life decisions. After a few suspicious editorial comments, I decided to check it out.
To add insult to injury, THIS IS WHAT THE CONSIDER “FAIR & BALANCED” (YES I AM YELLING!!!).
Larry the Cable Guy’s right: You just can’t fix stupid. As my equally conservative brother says, “They’re Hopelessly Liberal.”

Now that’s Cherry Picking! Mother Sheehan conveniently forgot about the estimated one-million Americans projected to die in an invasion of the Japanese home islands if we hadn’t dropped the bombs. She forgot about the warning we gave to Tojo after we dropped the first bomb when we said we had another and would use it unless he unconditionally surrendered. So the second set of casualties was Tojo’s responsibility.
I remember four of five days of warnings before Katrina made landfall and the idiot Mayor Ray Nagin did almost nothing to protect his citizens. Once again, it’s blamed on Bush and the Republicans.
As she often does, Cindy made an ass out of herself in parsing world events. The death of her Son has poisoned virtually every thought spilling out of her brainless head. I’m sure Casey would be proud. In condeming America for the lack of legal rights in Guantanamo and by giving a virtual pass to the dictators of the world such as Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and the other shit-stains she has done in the past Cindy has absolutely jack-shit for credibility.

Poor Cindy. She can’t get any attention now a days even though the press agrees with her. They’re just embarrassed by her. She speaks what they believe to be the truth, so does Wright, and it embarrasses them to allow the american people hear what they really believe.
One other point:
“Yes, on December 7th, 1941 (another day that will live in infamy), a US Naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked by Japan. On that day, 2338 American service personnel were tragically killed….,..
……General Curtis LeMay informed future Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara (who was under LeMay during WWII), that if the US had lost they would have been tried as “war criminals.” The loss of innocent life in Japan was numbered in the hundred of thousands and I don’t hear Senator Obama denouncing those acts of cowardice.
The man I’m named after, my father’s brother, died on the USS West Virginia and my father lied about his age and joined the Marines less than a month later. He fought, in the Pacific, in several of the bloodiest battles and never spoke of it. We only learned of this after his death in 1985.
Cindy, my father was no coward and my Uncle was innocent. You are the coward b*tch and all who believe as you do. Why don’t you honor your son, shut your trap and get back in your ditch!
Please forgive my language, but this really p*sses me off!

Greasy Wench says….
“I remember four of five days of warnings before Katrina made landfall and the idiot Mayor Ray Nagin did almost nothing to protect his citizens.”
Mayor Ray “School Bus” Nagin was too busy hauling his rear end to Dallas.

Boy Cindy, Have we found a church for you,
Its chocked full of people that hate this country almost as much as you do.
On Sunday morning you can pray for the death of America and get a hallelujah.
You will feel right at home with the sick twisted teachings of perpetual hate.
And with luck, You may be crucified, God knows you’ve earned it.

“However, the US military command in the Pacific killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians in aerial bombings and with the use of the new WMD; H-bombs.”
If St. Cindy can prove that we dropped H bombs on Japan she has a scoop.
But what’s more likely is that she is as ignorant about history as she is about everything else — including geography:

“If St. Cindy can prove that we dropped H bombs on Japan she has a scoop.”
How the hell did I miss that blunder? Thanks SG.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Y’all don’t get too mad at me but I think Cindy already had the foundation for her “problems” and Casey’s death pushed her right over the edge. And the liberals, as they usually do, used her for all it was worth and then threw her away. Mixed feelings, I know.

-’and we never batted an eye’- One of my Uncles was killed in flight training in WWII, my Dad & another Uncle served in WWII - other than my husband’s Grandfather who had a secret job that became known after the info from WWII started getting released - I know almost nothing of what any of these men did, other than research I’ve done (all of them are deceased now).
Real people who go to war are affected and that is one of the reason most of the ‘Greatest Generation’ did not talk about what happened to them, other than with each other - which is why Legion Halls and VFWs used to be such a big deal.
These men were affected, you ignorant she pig - they just came from a generation who chose to use their minds to invent the very technology that allows a stupid pig like you spew your stupidity in the limelight.
I guess her campaign isn’t going that well that she has to get her mug back into the msm to remind people that she still exists.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
The SNAG is at it again! Jamba juice running down all three of her chins, high on bus fumes she traps in a plastic grocery bag and huffs while wearing a cast off plaid overcoat said to have been worn by the step son of Fidel Castro’s interior palm frond minister….there she is, vomiting forth her version of US history, hoping against hope that other blank minded morons will feel the vibrations of her appallingly myopic view of world events.
She reminds me of a lonely baboon, sitting on a rock, throwing feces at all passersby to show her pain as to her lot in life….a one time ditch sitter within a slow news month media fawning over her every move, and she bought into her own hype and thought she was somebody, until that wore off rather quickly, and people grew weary and started comparing her musings to the shriek of a racoon that accidentally poked it’s snout into one of her discarded funky drawers that had rotted off her carcass, recoiling in disgust and rubbing its face in a pile of dog grunt to clean itself off….and then calling animal control to voluntarily be euthenized in a vain attempt to rid itself of the clinging everlasting smell of ignorant insanity.
Of course she brings up Katrina, one of the most lucrative thefts of her storied career in scamming the public to stay in the news. Kamp Kasey III was a grifting thieving outright robbery of well meaning people who were duped into helping what they thought were victims of the hurricane, and only succeeded in sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to “freedom fighters” (known as terrorists to us) to help purchase the necessary weapons needed to kill American troops. Yeah, the snag and that stupid arrogant vapid anal snake mayor of New Orleans both used Katrina to further their own bloated egos, and their fast growing bank accounts. Malik Raheem was at least honest in his attempt to secure a flat bottom boat fer fishin…..I didnt forget that embezzlement of trust she perpetrated on unsuspecting people who thought they were doing good.
yeah, so now, she gives us an earful supporting a virulent racist. What’s new? Anyone, and I mean anyone who hates America, for any reason whatever….has her support. If a hippopotamus accidentally stepped on an American flag, the snag would be at it’s side, dressed as a gay gibbon, her thighs looking like burlap sacks filled with walnuts, her vacuous empty stare devoid of any emotion other than her feigned anger, drool flecks staining her hand me down Louis Vitton knock off root sandals, her hands flickering side to side uncontrollably as she can barely contain her excitement at having someone to idolize again, someone who the rest of the country views as a three day old dead cow bloating in the sun…and the good reverend spews his hatred and racist views directly to her eager yet curiously fat wobbly ears….she is back in the news….for now.
Personally, I think she is a demented douchebag. She isnt exactly stupid….she is very very stupid. She is consumed with a misguided hatred against anything that she considers the enemy. Well, if it is within the borders of our country, she hates it. If it hates the United States, she supports it. Watch as she slowly converts her hatred of Bush to a hatred of whoever wins the election. I think she would be better served as the hood ornament on a freight train, after it hits her “Impeachment van” broadside while she is stopped on a crossing to prove that her very will can make the train screech to a halt. It will eventually, if nothing more than to scrape what is left of her wasted form off the front of the train after it blasts the snag at 80mph, rendering the vehicle and all within into hamburger helper with a side of shredded aluminum. They will have lots of fat to remove, a liver the size of a toyota, a strange goo eminating from a blob of flesh that was her bulged out sowbelly… but nowhere on the entire front of the train will they find any brain matter. A rather thick skull, but no brain. She has no brain. It left her long ago, when she was collecting caterpillar droppings off of Manzanita bushes and carefully forming her name in the gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe….to show her mother. She was confined to her room a lot after that….but she kept trying.
She pretended to be a lamp post in Vacaville when she was 12. She stood on the corner, holding a broken 40 watt light bulb she found looking for ground squirrel footprints after it rained…..and everytime someone would pass by, she would bark at them and go “blink!! blink!!”. This continued until a man simply socked her in the mouth. Her mother wouldnt come get her then either…
Once, when she was 15, she wore her princess costume she had when she was 4 to school, and demanded that she be made principle….and protested by shoving melting popsicles down the hallway with her nose, and bleating like a sheep. Her mother asked the school to commit her so she wouldnt have to pick her up and be seen by everyone else…
She knew she was destined for greatness though, she just didnt know that her version of greatness was as accurate as her history. But, for entertainment value, this washed up astoundingly ignorant winky with ears has no peer. It is sad, kind of, to witness the total degradation of what was once a living human being, now a mere pus bag bound with wrinkled skin….a hate filled corroded vessel that has no redeeming social value whatsoever…other than to be the one that everyone uses to describe the term…”no hope”. The snag is a shitbird. A useless ratbag. Dont care for her much either…….
I do hope this useless estrogen deficient oxygen thief runs for office. I just hope she does. Cynthia McKinney just moved into that neighborhood for the same reason. seeing those two in a bitch fight would be priceless…..
March 17th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
SJ. Thats the best laugh I have had in months, Thank you.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
That was pretty good for a warm-up, SJ. When you get a moment, tell us how you really feel.
P.S. This picture of Cindy looks like Joe Lieberman with hair.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
SJ, what a tasty example of the English Language. Verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc…too bad they’re not taught in schools anymore. As far as Cindy, she’s a complete waste of a sperm and egg.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
MG, I often wonder how SJ comes up with his colorful rants.
On the other hand it may be best if I never know.
And I will always think of Cindey on all fours barking at the lawn sprinkler, courtasy of the gifted SJ.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Glad to see that you are back in the saddle SJ, so to speak , concerning the snag.
Someone needs to apply a blunt instrument to the highest point on her frumpy , ugly body.
If not for the lesbians infesting Code Pink, she would have no love life at all.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Oooohhhhhh 1st. That’s not a pretty mental image. All that came to mind was Ellen DeGenerate, Rosie (the blimp) O’Donnell, and Janet (Chelsea’s real dad) Reno. And this huge black-and-white dog Baracking at the lawn sprinkler.

BTW, SJ is just getting warmed up.
He has some award winning posts in the archives.

Can’t you just see that chorus line behind the Reverend Wright next Sunday?
Oops, I forgot, he be retarded from the ministry an’ the Rev. Otis be steerin’ the boat now.
March 17th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Well, when I found that story, the first thing I thought was, “I have to send this to Steve cause SJ is gonna love this.”
March 17th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
As a young adult who is in the Air Force, (with my husband and cousin in the Army, my father, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and uncle in the Air Force, and another cousin in the Marine Corps)…my simple solution for all these people who hate America is to get the hell out…
If you don’t want to be here, if America and its leadership pisses you off so much, then leave. Let this great country be filled with people who want to be here, who are proud to be here, and who will fight and defend this country against people like Ms. Sheehan. If you don’t want to be here, then I don’t want you to be here.
My family and I will continue to serve in the military so people like Ms. Sheehan and Senator Obama’s enlightened pastor can say the absolutely asinine things that they say…because that’s what our country is about. Freedom.
March 17th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Thank you and your family for your sacrifice and service m072592.
Cindy wouldn’t last 10 seconds on the street of any other country. Only in America.
SJ…that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever read! LOL!

Apparently Obama also has ties to other terrorists and/or terrorist support groups, such as
shown Here
“Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund’s website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000. ”
From discover the network site, Here’s more on the Woods Link
“A notable Woods board member is William Ayers, who in the 1960s was a member of the terrorist group Weatherman, and was a wanted fugitive for over a decade as a result of the group’s bombing campaign; today Ayers is a Professor of Education at the University of Illinois. In 2002 the Woods Fund made a grant to Northwestern University Law School’s Children and Family Justice Center, where Ayers’ wife, Bernardine Dohrn, was employed.”
Be sure to check out the additional links on the left side of the page on the discover the network link. I understand Obama is to make what he is calling a major address on race tomorrow. I wonder when he is going to tell us about his connections to terrorists and groups that support terrorists?
March 17th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Wow Pagar. It’s the peripheral links that really caught my attention. Not only was he working for and with terrorists but…..
…Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan on Sunday likened Obama to a new messiah, calling him “the hope of the entire world.” That’s the same Louis Farrakhan who has a history of making openly anti-Semitic statements, calling Judaism a “gutter religion,” and suggesting that crack cocaine might have been a CIA plot to enslave blacks.
Farrakhan, addressing 20,000 people at the annual Savior’s Day celebration in Chicago, praised the Democrat presidential candidate, calling Obama “The hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better.”
He also compared Obama to the founder of Islam, remarking that both had a white mother and black father, according to the Associated Press. “A black man with a white mother became a savior to us,” Farrakhan said. “A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”
First Obama’s losing ground with white men, now he’s going to lose the jewish vote. Has a demonicrat ever won the white house without the jewish vote? I don’t think so.
March 18th, 2008 at 12:07 am
Cindy Sheehan is such a tool she actually links Jeremiah Wright to Malcolm-X, because she thinks that makes him seem less racist?
March 18th, 2008 at 4:43 am
“As a matter of fact, during WWII, Japan killed very few American civilians.”
The only reason that this can even be claimed is because Japans balloon bombs were horribly inefficient and Mitsubishi didn’t have the access to natural resources or the engineering capabilities of Boeing. All one has to do is refer to the rape of Nanking to see how much the Japanese were concerned with civilian well-being. The only reason that they didn’t kill American civilians was because they couldn’t.
March 18th, 2008 at 8:39 am
The Lurker, always a day late and a dollar short.
The She-Hag don’t know diddly about history. Much of the territory taken by the Japanese at the begining of the war were U.S. territories. There were military stationed in these remote posts. But there were many American civilians that also lived in these U.S. territories (Philipines, Wake, China, etc) working as contractors, working construction, missionaries, religious leaders, teachers, doctors, nurses etc, not to mention those civilians associated with the Armed Forces or the U.S. Government. Almost all were either killed or imprisoned.
True, maybe not as many were killed as in Nagasaki & Hiroshima, but I’d rather we have a whole bunch of dead Japanese which, by the way, ended a war, than a whole bunch of dead soldiers, sailors, and airmen invading a fortress. Truman did a whole lot of soul searching before giving the order. A different kind of democrat than what we have today.
All Hail to Sheehanjihad! He is to the Shehag as kryptonite is to the Super guy. SJ,I always enjoy your posts. Thanks.
March 18th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
When the snag was asked who she supported for president….it was evident it was Obama. Not so, because she had just finished another barrel of Jamba Juice, and wiping her gob with her sleeve, she said ” I support Baaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! What the media didnt realize was that she was trying to say “Hugo Chavez”
March 18th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
SJ; …….”she was trying to say “Hugo Chavez”…..”
That IS Hugo Chavez………..in Luo! ;-}
March 19th, 2008 at 7:13 am
‘I supoort Baaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!” Gee, SJ. I thought she was just hacking up a hairball.
