... is something I've been largely ignoring. From first-hand reports of those who aren't affiliated with the MSM, it sounds like the group of protestors in Crawford is rather small, but I guess they're saying what the MSM wants us to hear today, so it's being given something near OJ-level coverage.

And of course, Cindy has as much right to her opinon, and protest, as anyone.

But this quote from her, if true, is a bit jaw-dropping:

I begged Casey not to go. I told him I would take him to Canada. I told him I would run over him with a car, anything to get him not to go to that immoral war.

So, let me get this straight: as least rhetorically, here is a mother who hates a war so much she would suggest running over her own son in order not to support it? What does this suggest about her current stance?

Apparently, she's not above lying a bit about her son's stance either, claiming he was tricked into joining the military, was deeply opposed to the war, and wanted to get out of it but had not choice, when in fact, he'd just re-enlisted.

I'm sure she's a nice person otherwise, but some of the statements I see coming from her just don't jive with her purported position and motivations. Normally, I wouldn't care -- I have better things to do than say negative things about some particular war protestor and soldier's mom -- but since the media seems to really want us to know, I guess it's fair comment on what they refuse to highlight.
