Smearers
Hall of Fame inducts Cindy Sheehan to join Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean, Dick Durbin, Al Gore, Michael Moore, Dan Rather,
et al to complete the Whole Schmeer of Smearers.
Today, the Smearers' Hall of Fame inducts Cindy Sheehan for smearing skills that made the
Induction Committee (the Editorial Board of Al Jazeera) turn green with envy. The Induction
Committee also gave her the prestigious WAHABOA award, which stands for "We Always Heap All
Blame On America.
Although some critics though the award should have gone
(again) to Ted Kennedy ,
the Induction
Committee defended its decision in a press-release emphasizing her "moral authority" as
the mother of one who died after voluntarily re-enlisting in what she characterized as an
"American Occupation of Iraq for Oil and Profits" and listing the vital
statistics supporting their decision:
A.
A propaganda quinti-fecta in describing George W. Bush as the world's "biggest
terrorist,"A-1
as a "war criminal,"A-2
as a warmonger sending "our
children" to "die for Israel"A-3 to generate "profits"A-4
for his friends,
and as a President disrespectfully and callously exhibiting
a "jovial" and "party-like" attitude in meeting with parents of troops
killed in action.A-5
B.
A propaganda quadri-fecta in saying “America has been killing people on this continent since it was
started,"B-1
saying America is "waging nuclear war in Iraq [contaminating] the entire country,"B-2
equating Lynne Stewart with the heroic lawyer, Atticus Finch, in To Kill A Mockingbird,B-3
and attending a rally for Lynne Stewart at which flyers were distributed urging support for the
insurgency in Iraq.B-4
Previously inducted members of the Smearer's Hall of Fame (Ted
Kennedy, Howard Dean,
Dick Durbin,
Al Gore, Michael
Moore, Dan Rather,
and many intellectual heavyweights in the Entertainment Industry) applauded her induction, but some
of them seemed to also resent the possibility that Sheehan's "moral authority" so astutely
recognized by Maureen Dowd might enable her to eclipse them as accomplished practitioners of The
Smear. Sensing their anxiety, Joe Trippi, an advisor to Sheehan, told them "not to
worry" because in the field of smearing as in most other areas of human endeavor,
"competition is good."
The Entertainment Industry is so excited about the honor bestowed upon Sheehan in receiving the
WAHABOA award that Ted Turner is already planning a new "reality" show to be hosted by Jane
Fonda and Howard Dean
with Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins as judges in contests for the next WAHABOA award.

Magazine's Blake Wilson, exposing the falsehood of Sheehan's claim that someone other
that she had included in her email to Nightline the assertion that Bush had, in effect,
required her son to "die for Israel" and that Bush had launched the war in Iraq to further
the interests of Israel at the expense of the United States.

of a flyer distributed to those attending the speeches-- including Sheehan's speech-- (inside
at San Francisco State University), which flyer urged attendees to also attend a rally by
"Students Against War" scheduled for May 4, 2005, at the "Caesar Chavez Student
Center" to "join the contentious debate" on the question, "Should We Support the
Iraqi Resistance?"

By
the way, use the logo and link for "Take Back the Memorial" (right)
for information about how you can support the effort to "Take Back" the 9-11 Memorial from
the politically-correct crowd now planning to overshadow the Memorial with a "museum"
chronicling the sins of America as though they were relevant to the current war against the
medieval, totalitarian, perverted version of Islam being peddled by al Qaeda et al.
