How Phony Can They Get?

Sun, Aug 28, 2005 at 5:10:24 pm PDT

Here’s a touching scene, featuring Cindy Sheehan and the Reverend Al Sharpton, in front of crosses, looking solemn and sad.

Now let’s zoom out and see the media swarm around this manufactured event:

(Hat tip: Bill P.)

UPDATE at 8/28/05 5:36:04 pm:

More pictures of this moving tableau at Getty Images.

Co-starring “Army Mom.”

UPDATE at 8/28/05 5:42:51 pm:

Several LGF readers point out the Jewish star at lower right of the second photograph. Somebody tell Code Pink not to let the Nazis know.

About half the crowd that was watching Cindy talk yesterday is in this photo

Note the arc of cameras spread thoughout the center of the crowd.

Count the number of people in this photo and multiply by 2 (3 if you feel charitable) and that is how big her protest is.

Also note the quality of the tent with nice lights and steel support columns. The stage was pretty impressive, too.

As far as Cindy's "mourning", gosh, I had the displeasure of seeing her broadcast on Maher's show on Friday (which I soon switched off), she seemed to be having a ball. Seems her son being killed by islamfascists was the best thing that ever happened to her. Feh.

I'm reminded of the famous quote which supposedly put a fork in McCarthy's career: "MSM, have you left no sense of decency?" As I attempted to explain to hrun, without success, the amount of coverage is how you determine the MSM agenda. Cindy Sheehan and the Left have unlimited powers of mass communication, but no movement.

The MSM continues to sap its own strength with manufactured events, manufactured public opinion, and manufactured stories. In journalism, manufacturing is a bad thing. Overt manipulation is no longer a secret. It only works if you keep it a secret.

Rev.Al and Momma Sheehan have more in common than meets the eye:

DEATH ON 125TH STREET: THE SCENE
In Nightmare of Anger,
Store Becomes Flaming Madhouse

By Robert D. McFadden


It was just after 10 o'clock and Harlem had begun like an orchestra to tune up for another great performance. Traffic rumbled. Stores were open. Sidewalk vendors were out. And people moved briskly in the cold December morning, headed for work or shops or favorite haunts, carrying bags like responsibilities.

Across from the famed Apollo Theater, on the southeast corner of 125th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard, the gunman appeared out of nowhere at Freddie's Fashion Mart, a white-owned business that for months had been picketed and boycotted over a plan to expand that meant the eviction of a black-owned record shop next door. Feelings had run high. There had been threats.

The gunman was black, about 35 years old and 6 feet tall, and the police said he had on at least one occasion joined in picketing the store -- protests at which the police said another demonstrator had been heard 10 days ago threatening to "burn and loot the Jews." Freddie's is owned by Fred Harari, who is Jewish.

OT: Another "Rev" licks butt for the camera:

Rev. Jackson Lends Support to Chavez By CHRISTOPHER TOOTHAKER, Associated Press Writer


CARACAS, Venezuela - The Rev. Jesse Jackson offered support for President Hugo Chavez on Sunday, saying a call for his assassination by a U.S. religious broadcaster was a criminal act and that Washington and Venezuela should work out their differences through diplomacy.



The U.S. civil rights leader condemned last week's suggestion by Pat Robertson that American agents should kill the leftist Venezuelan leader, calling the conservative commentator's statements "immoral" and "illegal."

Jackson urged U.S. authorities to take action, and said the U.S. government must choose "diplomacy over any threats of sabotage or isolation or assassination."

"We must choose a civilized policy of rational conversation," he told reporters at a news conference.

Chavez, a self-styled "revolutionary," has repeatedly accused President Bush's government of planning to overthrow him. He warned Friday that some American leaders have considered killing him.

U.S. officials have repeatedly denied such claims.

Cindy, the democratic Saviour; Maureen and the MSM, the Apostles; Dubya as the Devil.... It is theater. Very bad theater, but still theater. So bad, in fact, I expect this show to be closing soon. If it was even passable theater, Jimmy and Bill would be there. They aren't because it isn't.

The Wreck of the Cindy Sheehan (from Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald)

The legend lives on from Dan Rather on down
Of the big ranch they called 'Crawford, Texas'
The Ranch, it is said, always becomes a nexus
When the moonbats of August turn gloomy

With a load of reporters twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Cindy Sheehan weighed empty.
That moobat ship was a bone to be chewed
When the moonbats of August came early.

The ship was the pride of the leftist side
Coming from a California suburb
As the batty ships go, it was battier than most
With crew and publicist well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of ad firms
They left foreseeing their fame
But later that month when David Duke came
Could it be the Nazis they’d been feedin’?

The protest in the heat made a cry-baby sound
As they marched to the Ranch's fencin'
And Moonbats knew, as the publicist did too,
Protests in August are sizzlin’.

The cameras weren’t late; they didn’t have to wait
When the Moonbats of August came marchin’.
The President met, but didn’t waiver
In the face of the Moonbat west wind.

When Labor Day comes, Dan Rather comes on deck sayin’,
Fellas, the ratings are laggin’.
When the ratings sweep and Sheehan’s the doormat, he says
Fellas, it’s been good t’know ya
The publicist wires in he had no ads comin’ in
And the moonbats and crew are in peril.
And later this month when the camera lights fade
Comes the wreck of the Cindy Sheehan.

Most people know where the love of God goes
When a hero leaves his mother for his country
But the pundits all say they’d have stayed home instead
If Kerry had just won Ohio.
They might have split up or they might have consoled,
Had a democrat been in office.
But all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the heroes and the soldiers and the trustworthy.

Moonbats think their superiority sings
In the rooms of their blue state mansions.
but the truth my friends is a young man who served,
and sacrificed for the freedom of others.
For the Tree of Liberty to be refreshed
It will take what America can send her,
And as taps is played, all the soldiers will know
What the moonbats of August can’t remember.

Yet in a musty old hall in New York they cried,
In the moonbat’s newspaper-cathedral.
The front page whined on the New York Times
Only for the likes of Cindy Sheehan.

The legend lives on from Dan Rather on down
Of the big ranch they ranch they call ‘Crawford, Texas.’
The ranch, it is said, always becomes a nexus
When the moonbats of August turn gloomy.

Bravo! for exposing this media circus view of the staged coverage of these phony balonies. Yahoo news really drops the mask in letting us see this truthful AP pix. I think maybe, just maybe, some in the MSM are disgusted enough to allow us to see through the lies to the truth. Nah..

I was just about to comment on Jesse Jackson's latest bid for a lifetime Fiskie but I see that others have beaten me to it.

OK, off to watch a movie ...

Life imitates Art, imitates life. Or something like that.

What the...
No crescent front and center? What about the "freedom fighters" - Shame upon shame, Joan Baazzz must be livid.
(Surely an embarassing oversight.)

Looks like Rev. Al the the two female moonbats are about to do a three-way.

It's all such BS.

Forget these asshats and say a prayer for the folk in the path of Katrina.

I fear what things will look like when I wake in the morning.

May God bless them.

Later.

I loved that song when I was a kid. Emotionally, it was up there with Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle."

I swear life imitates South Park.. Props again to the Death Pimp for pimping her son for fame.

Thanks Beagle,

Now he's gonna do a parody of "Cats in the cradle"

I understand that he did, and she recently said she wished she hadn't done that as a form of protest. Yeah, she's always thinking of what he would have wanted. Uh-huh.

There is something compelling about the full sized image. It has a composition and drama that I would expect from a classical painting. The Last Supper, or something.


My thought exactly (then I laughed hard and loud).
I wonder if Al represents Judas?

Great minds, etc.

I am sometimes amused by the street theater, that has unfolded near President Bush's ranch.
I am not amused by the dishonor brought to Casey Sheehan, and his fallen comrades, whose names are inscribed on the crosses, in front of these opportunistic ghoul's.
In honor of Casey Sheehan, and all of the service men and women, that have given all or some, they have my deepest admiration and respect, and I dedicate the following:

Poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Sonnets from the Portuguese
XXVI

I lived with visions for my company
Instead of men and women, years ago,
And found them gentle mates, nor thought to know
A sweeter music than they played to me.
But soon their trailing purple was not free
Of this world's dust, their lutes did silent grow,
And I myself grew faint and blind below
Their vanishing eyes. Then thou didst come--to be,
Beloved, what they seemed. Their shining fronts,
Their songs, their splendours, (better, yet the same,
As river-water hallowed into fonts)
Met in thee, and from out thee overcame
My soul with satisfaction of all wants:
Because God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.

What if Casey Sheehan wins a medal for bravery? Will she toss that onto the White House lawn? Or...will she toss some surplus medals? Ribbons?

Well she could always have him dug up and take his military uniform off, exchanging for one of her faddish costumes.

Tawnna Brawley was one of Als props who began her 15 minutes of fame in a sack of shit. She made my Man the Reverand Al famous and now he is the moderate progressive center of the Democrat Party and will be the Dems next Presidential candidate.

#105, Ludicrous,

Tawana Brawley was Rev. Al's first "cause" and that sh*tstorm only calmed down when she was proven a liar.
