Cindy Sheehan's gift to Hillary [View All]

[Nederland]

If you like Hillary Clinton for President in 2008, you should send Cindy Sheehan a thank you note.

The recent attacks that Cindy has leveled against Hillary only serve to bolster Clinton's image as a sensible moderate and breakdown the right wing's favorite argument that Hillary is a crazy leftist. If Hillary can only sneak past the rabid left wing base and clinch the primary her general election odds are looking quite good. Provided she gets that far, anytime the right wing claims that Hillary is a left wing wacko who wants to destroy the military and nationalize the S&P 500, she will be able to smile and point to lovely Cindy Sheehan and say "hey, those are the real left wing wackos, not me".

It's so sweet it makes me wonder if somebody in the Hillary camp didn't deliberately provoke this latest move by Sheehan.
