  1. Oh Look! Its the Mad Hatter Tea Party!  Everyone drink your shroom tea and we’ll all join in on a rousing chorus of “Where Have All The Flowers Gone”, then we’ll have a love-in at the feet of Mother Sheehan.  It’ll be like old times in Frisco!  Better paint that Mercedes peace sign on my face right now!

  2. Oh yeah, and its really just a belated *repayment to the good people of Oz for their generous gift to the people of the US:

  5. There is not one sponsor organisation I’d like to be a member of.  You didn’t mention the Endorsers ... a slightly odd name for minor sponsors of the conference I assume.  What about this conference endorser ... World Dreams Peace Bridge ... ‘The World Dreams Peace Bridge is an international group of dreamers, working together to create world peace.’ so its web page says ... sounds like a bunch of wet dreamers ...

  8. I predict Mother Sheehan will fall in love with Oz, and it’s wonderfully liberal population, and renounce her US citizenship.
    And apply forthwith for Australian citizenship!

    Well, hey, a man has to have dreams of a better world.

  10. Perhaps Ms. Sheehan will be in a bar, doing shooters with a stranger, and decide on the spur of the moment to move to Ireland to live with him forever.  Despite his Australian accent.

    (Hey, Ms. Dowd almost moved to Oz to chase down her hunka-hunka Celtic love, and only her parents kept her from doing it.  I don’t think Ms. Sheehan’s family is talking her out of anything.)

  11. #8 Hey Rinardman,
    Australia stopped taking convicts 150 years ago!

    Oooh Mommy Sheehan is coming to Brisbane. Anyone fancy a Protest Warrior type action?

    Although it would be just our luck that these wastes of space would be spewing their venom in the middle of the working week as we capitalist running dogs are earning a living and turning a profit.

    Someone should tell her we have a Liberal Prime Minister

    Won’t matter, she can’t spell it anyway…beside the fact that Mr. Howard has praised Chimpy McCarrierdrunk and been a staunch ally and assisted around the world to defend this psychotics right to shoot her mouth off, she won’t cut him and you OZ people any slack, except those leftist circle jerker’s.

    Now if some of your more radical leftists had, say a bomb, they had mis wired OR mis timed and it went off prematurely…that would solve a whole hell of a lot.

  18. Don’t forget that a member of the All Star Line Up is Joe Dolce, the man who gave the world Shaddup You Face (number one in Australia, England and Latvia, I believe)

    In my opinion, this absolutely defies parody

  19. We’ve all been embarrassed by our parents at one stage or another.

    There aren’t many like Casey Sheehan however whose mother made a career out of it. Sadly he’s powerless to stop her, by way of being deceased.

    Has she erected a headstone for him yet? If not, perhaps she could pick one up duty free.

    Posted by Dan Lewis on 2006 04 19 at 08:34 PM • permalink

  20. I also notice in the All Star Line Up there is a group called The Borderers. Have they got something to do with the bookshop chain that won’t stock the April/May issue of Free Inquiry magazine?

    Posted by Geoffrey MG on 2006 04 19 at 09:11 PM • permalink

  21. Okay, that really pisses me off. For someone who has no real job, Poor Little Cindy lives awfully high on the hog. Flights around the US. An apartment in California. And now a free trip to Australia? To spout her nonsense? She gets to visit on someone else’s dime while I pay taxes and save up and hope I have enough someday to visit the land of kangaroos and Tim Blair ?

    No offense, but if all I had to do to earn that airfare was pour out nonsensical hatred, I’d've invented a dead son and written my own ticket to Oz with him. It wouldn’t have made me any more of a vile, lying virago than she is.

  22. So all those peaceful Muslim groups will be there too?  One is tempted to put up a giant poster of all twelve of the Danish Motoons right smack in the middle of the gathering and then stand back and watch the fun.

  23. Oh, of course they are peaceful.

  30. Re: the update.

    Cindy is lying.  What she describes is *NOT* how the military treats our fallen.  And she drags a good firm and good people through the mud in her quest for yet more attention.

    Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 04 19 at 11:52 PM • permalink

  31. Dan Lewis - no, she has not put up a headstone, and nobody was quick enough to pour concrete over her when she recently prostrated herself on his grave, which might have served.
    There is a possibility that once the divorce is final, her ex and the rest of the family will [be able to] put one up. And I wonder if they will also release pics taken at the funeral (if any) showing that “cardboard” box.

  32. That woman makes Medea look like an earth mother.  Monster.

    How she really must have resented and hated her son, to be able to abuse his honor the way she does; to set no limits to this abuse, the form in which it takes, or to its viciousness.  And to hell with who it hurts in the process.

    She can’t really hurt Casey anymore, nor hurt his reputation.  But imagine yourself a member of Casey’s family, trying to cope with the terrible loss of your loved one, while having to hear this person’s increasingly wild lies ring out to the world.  Everyday.

  35. All these card-carrying leftists have a firm policy to abandon Iraq to the tender mercies of totalitarian butchers and economic vandals, and then claim a victory for humanity.

    Hmmm. At least they are amazingly consistent:
    Stalin and Hitler carved up Poland, Eastern Europe, etc
    Castro and Cuba
    Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam.
    The Kymer Rouge and Cambodia
    Mao and China

    And so recently, Mugabe and Zimbabwe

    What kind of incentive is that?  We cricket tragics love you guys in the cricket threads.  We view it as part of our mission to take cricket’s civilising infuence to the far, dark corners of the earth.

    MELBOURNE

    with Cindy Sheehan, Senator Kerry Nettle, Hassan Juma’a, Sabah Jawad and Dr Salam Ismael
    Thursday 25 May, 7pm @ Storey Hall, RMIT, 340 Swanston St.
    $10 / $5 concession tickets at the door.

    Any RWDBs care to join me in observing the antics? (Those in Melbourne, at least). I’m working that weekend so can’t go to the big gabfest. Bummer.

    I did consider the fri night special, but a)Greg Fleet*. Has been lefty wanker.
    b)Got to prepare for work.

    *I’ve seen his act before and it was tired 10 years ago, so I’d rather option b).

  39. On a rare serious note (for me).

    This lying bitch’s description of how her son was brought home in a cardboard box and offloaded with a forklift is a disgusting lie and denigrates all those military personnel tasked with his return to the US to a level beyond belief.

    Everybody from the Army chiefs to the funeral director has said that Casey Sheehan’s earthly remains were treated with the utmost respect and dignity every inch of the way from Iraq to his final resting place.

    Absolutely appalling lie. I cannnot reconcile a grieving mother able to lie about something so personal and precious as the death and interment of her son.

    Surely she is totally deranged.

    the moreland peace group is an absolute cracker too.  it shows pilger videos at film nights. the people in it are dhimmis’ dhimmis. many of them are ancient commo hippies, still into share houses in their 50s (well nearly 60s). one of the best efforts of these scum was to organise community demos against the kennett government’s plans to sell off a disused inner city school.  the locals got behind them, with vigils & placards & so on, frightening off potential buyers.  then they hopped in & bought the place for about half market value, & turned it into a commune. were the locals cross at being duped?  is mother sheehan nuts? then the hypocritical instigators of this farce bought out the other hippies & are now sitting on a goldmine

  42. The story over at Gateway Pundit about the widow who slept by her husband’s coffin while the Marine’s stood guard ‘bout did me in.

    I almost never use this word, but it’s never been more appropriate: Cindy Sheehan, you are a cunt and a lying cunt at that. If only we could trade Casey’s life for yours.

  43. You must admit, for their purposes, the anti-war left and a cynical media could not have ordered up a more useful idiot.  She will soon outlive her usefulness, however.  She’s not bright enough to be subtle.  Her lies are becoming more vicious and, therefore, harder to cover up or gloss over.  The hard left, being unsubtle themselves, will cling to her longer than the media will be able to.  It will be interesting to see how they dump her. 

    She has truly earned every term of approbation heaped upon her.  Although I never use that particular one, Kyda, in this instance, I have to agree with you.  The woman gives me an overwhelming need to hear the laughter of children.

    Margo can be defined as a fat bitch or as a chick that is highly jealous If you are looking for a more exact def look at pig, cow, hitler o yes and remember nobody likes cock asses.

    Margo was a jealous bitch and we all hope she gets hit by a semi on the way to jenny craig.
