Mother Sheehan: Democrats are the party of war, slavery, and nuclear holocaust

I feel … a strange new respect. What was it Maureen Dowd said she had again?
Ah, yes. Absolute moral authority:
The Democrats are the party of slavery and were the party that started every war in the 20th century, except the other Bush debacle. The Federal Reserve, permanent federal income taxes, not one but two World Wars, Japanese concentration camps, and not one but two atom bombs dropped on the innocent citizens of Japan — all brought to us via the Democrats.
That discordant reference to the Federal Reserve makes me wonder: assuming she doesn’t run for president herself, might St. Cindy’s endorsement next fall produce the ultimate moronic convergence?

When she turns against a party, she goes all the way.
Slublog on July 23, 2007 at 4:48 PM
I especially love how the wars they started are in past tense but she says “they *are* the party of slavery.”
Alex K on July 23, 2007 at 4:50 PM
“The Democrats are the party of slavery and were the party that started every war in the 20th century, except the other Bush debacle.”
The endless critics of Bob Dole’s “Democrat Wars” line from 1976 could not be reached for comment.

… he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel.
That right there is some serious crazy.

Oh my, does this mean she’s for Fair Tax?
Funny things happen when you wash Democrats out of your hair.
moonsbreath on July 23, 2007 at 4:52 PM
Absolute moral authority does not mean absolute grammaticalistic authority.
eeyore on July 23, 2007 at 4:53 PM
There has always been a thin line of love/hate between the Democrats. Think Zel Miller! “The Party has changed, not me!”
kiakjones on July 23, 2007 at 4:55 PM
Like finding a botfly larvae infestation that quickly encroaches on the underlying grey matter, for instance? Pure speculation on my part. Just curious. That’s all.
CyberCipher on July 23, 2007 at 4:57 PM
They’re the ones who shot Archduke Ferdinand? I knew it!
I’ll expect Michael Moore to shed new light on this old affair in his next cinematic shocker, Fahrenheit 1914.

The final level of paranoia is turning on your enablers and making them part of the grand conspiracy.

Hmmm, I’m sure I should say something, but Hmmm is all I can think of. This is definitional one case where “the enemy of my enemy is not my friend”.
doriangrey on July 23, 2007 at 4:59 PM
There are a number of threads on DU today calling for all mentions of Mother Sheehan to be banned once she announces that she’s running against Pelosi. It reminds me of a class on Witch Trials that I once took. Accusations of witchcraft were usually tolerated until they reached too far up the social hierarchy.
rw on July 23, 2007 at 5:00 PM
“They’re the ones who shot Archduke Ferdinand? I knew it!”
Hey, John Cougar Mellencamp thinks FDR may have caused Pearl Harbor, so why not? ;)
Ed Driscoll on July 23, 2007 at 5:01 PM
Good Heavens! She’s either off her meds or has been taking extra doses.
Brat on July 23, 2007 at 5:01 PM
Is Mother Sheehan actually part of the grand machiavellian plot brilliantly orchestrated by The Evil Karl Rove that is designed to split the Democratic Party?
aunursa on July 23, 2007 at 5:03 PM
What I’m looking forward to is the name of the party she’s going to start. She can’t just make some namby-pamby “Independent” run against Pelosi. It’s going to have to be bold and contain words like “Truth” and “Freedom” and “Justice” and “Peace” and “People’s” and “Starchild”. Well…maybe not “Starchild”.
eeyore on July 23, 2007 at 5:04 PM
I wonder who writes these things for her. She isn’t smart enough to know all of that.
DaveS on July 23, 2007 at 5:06 PM
At least some of the individuals officiating over the Salem witch trials later recanted and made public apologies. Think THAT will ever happen with the liberals? There’d have to be a shred of decency/integrity left somewhere-in-there. My prediction? Not in MY lifetime.
CyberCipher on July 23, 2007 at 5:08 PM
Seriously, she’s totally nucking futs. The Democrats started the 2 world wars? Good gravy woman.
Media blackout on her new rantings in 5…4…3…2…
Dash on July 23, 2007 at 5:08 PM
Dude, don’t believe it. Ferdinand is still alive. The lies about him being shot are just more anti-Serb propaganda. He’s living under a new name in Orange County, getting blood transfusions to stay young. Just like JFK.
Thomas the Wraith on July 23, 2007 at 5:09 PM
1. Last I checked, the Japanese attacked us. The Democrats did not start World War II.
2. She doesn’t much care for anybody anymore, does she?
All of us mere mortals can never ascend to her level of absolute moral superiority.
Hawkins1701 on July 23, 2007 at 5:10 PM

Watching the fat bastich on Harball right now. The Sheehans and Moores of this country are going to drag the Dems so far left in the next election, if the surge is moderately successful it could be a lot more interesting than it looks today.
JackStraw on July 23, 2007 at 5:12 PM
ah, first paragraph should have been quoted.
JackStraw on July 23, 2007 at 5:12 PM
I loo-ooove watching her free fall into absolute lunacy. She hasn’t mentioned alien conspircaies yet but give her a few days.
Ride on Sheehan Crazy Train! Next stop – Lyndon LaRouche.

Oh Please . . . somebody buy Cindy a one way ticket to some far away island.

When she goes over to Iraq, I hope she stops in Kuwait on her way in and tries that line about the other Bush debacle. Let’s see how that plays over there. With any luck, they will put her on a boat heading east towards Iran.

Whadda ya know, she’s become a maverick.
Let’s wait a couple of days to see whether her backers turn off the money spigot or not. If not, then someone else is now picking up the tab, like, maybe, a Chavez crony?
Dusty on July 23, 2007 at 5:18 PM
I’ve always said there are crazy loons that go so far to the left, they end up coming all the way around to the right.
Cindy has made that trip. Before you know it, she’ll be sounding like Hitler.

The People’s Starchild for Truth, Freedom, Justice and Peace, eeyore ?
There’s a certain ring to it, I’ll admit. Beats Green, Independent, Other and None of the Above anyway.
Blacksheep on July 23, 2007 at 5:19 PM
Very well said.
If I thought that any semblance of logic remained in Sheehan’s mind, I would ask her and try to figure out when it is ok, in her mind, to go to war.
But I know better.

Two nuclear bombs were dropped on civilians by a Democrat
Civilians were interred into camps by a Democrat
SoulGlo on July 23, 2007 at 5:24 PM
Mmmm, that’s some high quality crazy. If she keeps tapping into this kind of pure, uncut, moonbat insanity she’ll end up like the Crazy Cat Lady from the Simpsons.
But if she’s going to descend into uncontrollable hysterical madness, at least she lives in the right district.
Thomas the Wraith on July 23, 2007 at 5:26 PM
“The innocent citizens of Japan”?!?!?!?!?
What’s this crap about “nuance” and these people? This woman is as Manichean, black-and-white as a half moon cookie.
Il Padrino on July 23, 2007 at 5:29 PM
What we all need to know is: who is Cindalah’s History Advisor, Noam Chomsky?
Always Right on July 23, 2007 at 5:30 PM
she’s already there. you realize that the guy she fell in with on her “vision quest” was lew rockwell, don’t you? her first handlers and inclinations were with the bolchevics, but alll her pillowtalk is with paleo-libertarian conspiracy nuts.
jummy on July 23, 2007 at 5:32 PM
You might have expected her to mention the GERMAN concentration camps, where millions of Jews were burned alive, but then…
this is one moonbat who believes Jews killed her son, so the German concentration camps just dont count.
Like I said, its Chomsky or a Chomsky disciple at work here. CIndy herself is too stuuupid to have ever read a history book in her life.
Always Right on July 23, 2007 at 5:33 PM
Always Right:
I’ve long been of the opinion that Mama Sheehan was long versed in leftist dogma and cant well before her son was killed in Iraq. That kind of deep down crazy needs to stew for a long time; you can’t just marinade in it for a week or two.
Il Padrino on July 23, 2007 at 5:35 PM
If she doesn’t beat Pelosi, I want to nominate her as the next Elder.
That sort of wisdom shouldn’t go to waste.

Proof, that you can be a kook and a sage simultaneously.
TheSitRep on July 23, 2007 at 5:43 PM
I think she might want to read a history book , the atomic bomb was dropped to save lives. My grand father who was a sea-bee in the pacific said was should have dropped 10 bombs on japan. either way once a moonbat always a moonbat now she has turned on her creators.
Mojack420 on July 23, 2007 at 5:49 PM
Mother Sheehan is now being cast-out by those who once gave her shelter, who used Ms. Sheehan’s grief to pursue their political agendas – that being a most charitable pov – and now she is striking back: a mother scorned. Pathetique.
I say, let’s not focus on the wounded decoy. I agree with Rush in having real pity for the woman.
Randy
williars on July 23, 2007 at 5:50 PM
That’s obviously true, but not a very complete picture. There were obviously civilians killed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And causing spectacular damage that would undermine the Japanese will to fight was a conscious strategic objective.
That said, Hiroshima was selected because, in addition to being large enough to demonstrate the full capabilities of the bomb, it was also the headquarters of the 2nd General Army, responsible for the overall defense of southern Japan, and a regional logistics and industrial center.
Nagasaki was a major port city and a significant producer of both ships and a wide variety of ordnance. (Kokura, the original target for the bomb ultimately dropped on Nagasaki, was one of Japan’s largest military arsenals, producing tens of thousands of rifles, aviation bombs, and many other forms of ordnance used against US forces.)
If civilians were the only targets, Kyoto would have been bombed (in fact, it was actively rejected as a suitable target). Shocking the Japanese leadership and people was definitely part of the nuclear bombing plan, but the targets were chosen for sound strategic reasons, not for cruel intent.
Blacklake on July 23, 2007 at 5:52 PM
Heh!
Now not so fast about them World Wars. If she meant that Democrats, that is to say, socialist fascists started the Wars, then she does correctly identify the NAZI Party. Thus she’s saying the Democrats are the Socialist Fascist War-Mongering Party of Slavery.
Ahh. Not much to tweak, except maybe the Socialist Fascist Surrendering-Monkey Uber-Taxing Party of Slavery.
When do we get to hear the NYT’s announcement that Sheehan has been a conservative Republican all along?
Did someone already mention that? Sorry.
naliaka on July 23, 2007 at 6:02 PM
Without a doubt and it makes perfect sense.
A Sheehan endorsement of Ron Paul? Why not?
The wavelengths are practically the same. Cindy’s all chewed up and spat out by the liberals anyway, so no friends there anymore.
Ron Paul’s absurd foreign policy and possibly economics, ostracized as loony by the right, dove tails quite nicely.
Kini on July 23, 2007 at 6:05 PM
One out of 3 isn’t bad. Don’t think it’s respect I’m feeling, and I sure know it isn’t new.
Should we take up a collection to give her a one-way plane ticket out of here?
steveegg on July 23, 2007 at 6:08 PM
Ha ha ha, the Democrats show their true colors when one of their own betrays them. Where’s your compassion now, of lefties?
The right certainly doesn’t want that kind of crazy, but its nice to know that in her zeal to defeat evil Bushitler she read up on some Democrat history.
BKennedy on July 23, 2007 at 6:18 PM
soon no doubt.
progressives were never at war with eastasia.
jummy on July 23, 2007 at 6:19 PM
I have a bad feeling regarding the name of the sainted one’s party. The only one left for her to use to garner sympathy is her son…
PowWow on July 23, 2007 at 6:19 PM
Well, she’s become more anti-Democrat in about ten seconds than most Republicans have in a lifetime! She’s totally nuts, I absolutely love it.
She’s finished as far as the MSM are concerned though, you know that don’t you? She’ll be a distant memory in a week.

BobK on July 23, 2007 at 6:49 PM
Cindy did get one thing right, the Dems were, and still ARE, the party of slavery. But she needs a history lesson, those atomic bombs ENDED WW2 and SAVED more lives than they took.

Historically known as Madison’s war, with A. Jackson being THE “war hero” and primary beneficiary – both Democratic presidents (naturally — if you subscribe to the vein of thinking espoused by St. Cindy). Back then, it was called the Democratic-Republican party methinks (at least, I think that’s what Jefferson called it).

Poor little Cindy Who? should have listened when she was told she had become an embarassment and needed to retire. The Code Pink purge will commence now that the DEMs think they have 2008 in the bag and might actually have to do something positive instead of just throwing stones and making speeches. Look for Michael Moore to get the same telegram very soon.
Buzzy on July 23, 2007 at 8:47 PM
Ha!
Wonderful post, wonderful thread of comments. I wanted to respond to a few, but they’re all so good. And I’m too busy laughing.
Well, actually this one has to be my favorite:
It’s hard to combine intellectual, historical, and hilarious. That manages the trifecta perfectly.
Now could somebody – Allah? – please start posting links to reaction from DU, Kos, and the rest of the moonbatosphere?
I’m going to go get some popcorn now. To quote the old commercial, it just doesn’t get any better than this.
Professor Blather on July 23, 2007 at 8:51 PM
For anyone who doubted the efficacy of anti-psychotic pharmaceuticals, this woman is Exhibit A. Cindy, keep taking your pills, hon, you’re really making progress. Once you get those blood levels up I think you’ll probably be willing to crawl across glass to apologize to all the good people (soldiers & their loved ones for starters) you offended back when you were
crazy… uh… un-medicated.NightmareOnKStreet on July 23, 2007 at 8:54 PM
That convergence can very be well underway. Momma Moonbat has been romantically linked to Lew Rockwell – who is also a supporter of the Paulian cult leader – and both have a strong position calling for the elimination of the Fed and the return to the gold standard. Rockwell is also someone who says the NAU is just around the corner – so expect the Momma Moonbat pick up this meme as well and use her ‘absolute moral authority’ to promote it.
This just proves that politics is circular. The fringes wrap right around so far that their positions are almost identical.
Athos on July 23, 2007 at 9:10 PM
I’m somewhat embarrassed to find that my opposition to the Federal Reserve is shared by Ron Paul and Cindy. I’m at least allowed to argue that Ron Paul may be right about something. I suspect Cindy’s opposition is just raging incoherence.

2. Have Don Imus racially slur you.
3. Create the largest Evironment swindle the world has

Dork B. on July 23, 2007 at 10:01 PM
I’m shocked!!! I had to search for the fact that Saint Cindy made her announcement to run today during her protest at John Conyers office, following the passage of Pelosi’s impeach-by date. No Drudge siren!

I was crossing a highway bridge while taking a long, weekend ride and came across signs posted in honor of Ron Paul. These were bedsheets with his name painted on them. Dirty, stained sheets defiled further with the name of someone best described as a wet fart on a clean, white sheet.
I started my bike and rode off, a bit wiser.
Hening on July 23, 2007 at 11:11 PM
I guess that rules her out for a spot on The View.
A new twist for their crybaby “no fair” ness doctrine.

I dunno. Agreeing with Maureen Dowd on anything mames me seriusly doubt you allahpundit :D
This is also the last time you ever hear of Ms. Sheehan, as insulting democrats is the ultimate crime according to them.
LordDaMan on July 23, 2007 at 11:31 PM
I think St Cindy just pounded the final nail in her coffin. Having already alienated every person to the right of Harry Reid, she now goes after every person to the left of Nancy Pelosi. It was fun knowing you, Cindy. May you rest in peace.
