Cindy Sheehan IS A "Nutcase" March 31st, 2006 by Press Staff
In today's CongressDailyAM (full story after the jump due to subscription), Sue Davis reports that Congressman Kingston got into a "discussion" yesterday in a closed-door meeting with two liberal Democrats regarding anti-war beatnik, Cindy Sheehan.
A closed hearing of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee turned contentious Thursday as Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., Subcommittee ranking member Jack Murtha, D-Pa., and others sparred over the meaning of anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, heroes and military service.
According to one Democratic source present at the hearing, Kingston commented that Sheehan was "a nutcase" and lamented that too many of the human interest stories coming out of the war in Iraq center on anti-war activists like Sheehan and filmmaker Michael Moore and do not give proper service to heroic tales of U.S. soldiers............


what person in their right mind thinks a lot of GOOD stories come out of war? what person in their right minds think there isn't death and misery and torture and pain and suffering during war? i'm talking ANY war and ALL wars not just this one. i'm not just talking 'our' side either. i'm talking our side, their side and ALL sides. why do you think viet nam vets (most of them) do NOT like to talk about BEING IN VIET NAM? i'm guessing it isn't because they have an abundance of GOOD stories to tell us
