Cindy Sheehan is not just a radical anti-war leftist who embraces dictators like Hugo Chavez and makes excuses for terrorists who kill American troops, she’s also extremely, mind-bogglingly dumb. These qualities, of course, enable her to fit right in at the web’s premier “progressive” site, Daily Kos: Daily Kos: Get off it Bill O’Reilly by Cindy Sheehan.

In today’s diary post (currently at the top of the recommended list), Mama Moonbat accuses Bill O’Reilly of character assassination for quoting her comparison of Islamic terrorists to “freedom fighters.”

Then she proceeds to compare Islamic terrorists to “freedom fighters.”

So far, I have ignored this and stayed above the Fox news defamation of my character. It would not take a moral giant the equivalent of a Mother Teresa to stay above Fox News. They have no conscious or credibility. I can’t think of many people lower than Fox News, their employees and frequent neo-con contributors as Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, William Kristol, etc. However when I recently received an email from a person with the email address of “G.I. Joe” who claimed to be an Iraq war vet accusing me of calling terrorists “freedom fighters” because he had just heard it on the “news,” was when I decided The O’Reilly Factor had to go.

I know for a fact the evening G.I. Joe wrote me, O’Reilly brought that old lie back up. He can’t think of anything new and he can’t defend an indefensible criminal regime, so he has to rehash old lies and character assassinations of me and other “liberals” to keep his program afloat. I answered the soldier and explained carefully to him the distinction between a “terrorist” and an occupied person in a sovereign country who is fighting for his/her freedom from an oppressive foreign country. I tried to get G.I Joe to recall his lessons about the American Revolution when our founding fathers and mothers did the same thing. I mourn that G.I. Joe watches Fox News and is so abysmally misinformed and immorally manipulated.

The person who isn’t misinformed though, is Mr. Bill O’Reilly. If he had a conscious, he should be ashamed of leading 22% of this country astray.

To the left, “character assassination” means quoting their own words back to them.
