Plame Cindy
I just saw the blog report on CNN. One reporter said that the right now considered Cindy "fair game". Well, we've all heard this term before in conjunction with Valerie Plame. This means the RW will continue to try to drag Cindy and her family through the mud. They are looking for any and everything they can to discredit her. In otherwords, they are going to Plame Cindy, a private citizen who is asking uncomfortable questions.

Not that this is anything new. Look at what the RW has done to Democratic politicans. Plaming Cindy means that they will continue to go after anyone that opposes them. But what really pisses me off is that at the same time, these people try to stymie information gathering on everyone and everything else. They usually cite "National/Homeland Security", "politics of personal destruction", "what does that have to do with the job they seek" and on and on.

We need to make sure that we hold these bastards accountable. We need to go after Roberts (Pat and John), Rove, Rice, Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft, et al as hard and as often as they are go after us.

1. Anybody who says Cindy is "fair game" ought to become
"game" themselves.

2. Let them, as long as she's not hurt. Their own hate will shy people away.

4. This has been coming for a long time
This is mutually assured destruction in the political sense but rather than moan that we should take the "high road", I am suggesting that once the opposition goes this route of using (pardon the expression) the nuclear option, the other side has only two choices:

be destroyed, or
launch a full-out counter attack.

In the end, of course, politics (or civil discourse) is the ultimate loser. But the stakes are too high to back down.

5. I agree. They need to be called on their cruelty and their corruption,
every chance we get. This will probably mean getting more creative about how we get our messages out (so we won't be stymied by the MSM), but it's high time we did that anyway.

6. Only bullies
act like this.

It's a real joke when a grieving mother is held to a higher standard then the President, who if they haven't noticed is AWOL as usual.

7. They just don't get it that Cindy doesn't care...
She has already suffered the ultimate pain, and the rest of it doesn't phase her. She isn't running for public office. She isn't losing her job. She isn't a contestant for the Miss America crown. She is resolute in sharing her message and working to keep other kids from dying for reasons that have nothing to do with the security of our country.

8. Bush msm - lie - deny - smear, samr ole song... aren't you used to it?
By now??

Cindy is causing the ratings to drop like a brick. They can smear-lie about Cindy till doomsday, while her numbers of supporters continue to grow.

Anxious for Cindy to arrive in Washington.
