1. They are desperate to incite...
...the peace side to violence.

2. She should know better, but if she doesn't she will find out
You don't debate the right wing.

You show up with facts, and they shout and swear and cry and lie until you just want to be left alone.

And somehow, they claim that they won.

9. Isn't that the truth.
I recently tried to get into a discussion about PNAC with a woman on a site called "Chron Watch".

She put words in my mouth, lied about my posts (which were displayed right there on the very same page), generated straw man after straw man of utter nonsense, attacked me, distorted what I said, and even though evidence of all those things were right there in black and white on the very same page, a handful of other drooling neocon imbeciles all piled into the thread, and applauded her "great victory".

It was utterly bizarre... she wouldn't talk about anything relating to PNAC even after I QUOTED their statements and documents and provided links.

If Cindy Sheehan wants to do this she shouldn't. They're dishonest and cowardly.

4. She refused to allow press coverage of any debate
She will wipe the floor with the not-so-articulate bubba G. Qualls.

5. She had said she would debate
but no media...

I do not think there is a formal debate between her and anybody.

6. Cindy didn't say anything about a debate
when she was interviewed on wbai about 90 minutes ago. Another person in Crawford said the peace folks were instructed not to engage in conversation with the freepers.

I do know Cindy invited all Gold Star families to a barbeque this afternoon. Maybe the TV folks hope it will be a debate. I don't think any of the pro-war Gold Star Families will come.

7. Very smart to bar the media
That is all they want is media coverage, then they will cut and paste and crop the footage on O'Lielly and Insanity to fit their talking points.

8. She doesn't owe them a "debate".
She's not a political candidate, for God's sake.

I remember one person who was a political candidate and tried to get out of debating his opponent the usual number of times. Who could it be? Well, I just don't know. Who, who, who? Could it be...

SATAN?

11. I wouldn't worry about it
Cindy's a smart woman, with truth and the heart of the majority of the American people on her side. We want this war over. There's nothing that whiney rightwing contingency who thinks that they're "in the majority" can say to counter the fact that this war disaster of Bush's was a major mistake and a pack of lies. The rightwingies will end up looking as stupid as usual. Just look at their chimperor!

I think Cindy's just trying to get people to stop protecting * with silence.
