Some critics say Sheehan is exploiting her son's death to promote a left-wing agenda supported by her and groups with which she associates.

I called AP to protest the use of such shoddy journalism that does not identify sources and was shuffled off to a line that recorded complaints. Never even got to talk to a AP rep about it.

I think we should demand names of people that would accuse a grieving mother of selling out her son. And an explanation why the AP would carry it with out any corraborating evidence. I think the American people who vastly are in favor of Cindy's vigil would like to know the names of these cads.

1. Ah yes the old some people say attack.

As inevtable as the tides and almost as depressing. Being a hack means never saying who says what.

2. "Some critics say"

If jounalists are paid by the word, those three words have become a billion dollar industry.

3. They restated the bit about

Gary Qualls of Temple, removing his son's cross and saying how disrespectful he thought things there were. DISRESPECTFUL, do you hear??? Just in case you missed how DISRESPECTFUL it all is, we'll tell you again.

Nope, no bias there at all.....

4. I support the "Left Wing Agenda"

Which is a request for truth from the POTUS and to bring our kids home alive. As opposed to the "Right Wing Agenda" which is more death, destruction and despair. More lies and posturing by sanctimonious flag waving assholes who are too proud to say we were wrong and backed the wrong horse. I'll take the left wing agenda anyday.
