Cindy Sheehan vs. Patty Smith: One Was Praised as Having "Absolute Moral Authority."<br>One Had a Media Writer Call For Her to be Beaten to Death.

Cindy Sheehan vs. Patty Smith: One Was Praised as Having "Absolute Moral Authority."
One Had a Media Writer Call For Her to be Beaten to Death.

Any question of which is which, and why the different outcomes obtained?

GQ writer Bethlehem Shoals called for patty Smith to be beaten to death.

She later apologized -- and of course will suffer no consequences.

Think any right-winger would be allowed to keep his job if he called for one of the Black Lives Matter moms to be beaten to death?

Oh -- and remember, you must always Celebrate Women.

11 'Bethlehem Shoals' is actually a guy(?) named Nathanial Friedman, and his main gig is sports blogger.

So, another jock polisher that feels the urgent need to share his deep political thoughts.

So, does constant jock-sniffing lead to atrophy of the brain and resulting leftism?

Hillary Clinton.

She said that the Republican Convention was like watching "The Wizard of Oz."

This is ironic because I used to do consulting work at a nuke power plant in New York when she was senator. She hated the plants and she would delight in telling the workers that she was going to close the plant and put them out of work. She visited quite often and every time she did, people would whistle the witch theme from the movie.

108 Separate point, but "moral authority" is itself an invalid - actually, an idiotically illogical - concept in itself. Sort of obvious, though apparently not to today's dumbed-down-beyond-recognition America.

The "moral" force of any argument or idea is from the thing itself. No person or group has any moral authority - the very concept is silly.

Sheehan of course had zero moral authority (like any person, on any topic). Far worse, her words and actions had no effect other than to help the cause of islamofascism, genocide, totalitarianism and darkness against which her son fought.

So Sheehan was/is morally repugnant, and ignorant. She's not pitiable, she's despicable.

Smith's anger comes from specific actions and lies, not an ignorant, unintelligent and morally repugnant inability to understand the world - the "basis" of Sheehan's idiotic displays.

I never mocked Cindy Sheehan. I even stuck up for her on at least one occasion, saying, "She lost her son. She blames Bush and his policies for that, but I've never walked in her shoes, so I can't judge her too harshly." Of course, the Left used her for their own propaganda purposes.

148 I felt bad for Cindy Sheehan, She was clearly out of her head, and got taken advantage of by the Left, who promptly dropped her like a giant rock when Obama was elected. Didn't she leave her family for her "mission" or whatever it was she termed it? Didn't her marriage end? I just think of her as a dippy mom who completely lost it when her son was killed. I don't know what I would have done if I had been in her situation. I'd like to think "not that" but I've been known to have one or two bats in my belfry from time to time as well.

Probably because the Left has been playing the "highest moral authority" game for so long. Sheehan was just one in a long line of victims they elevated to spout their ideas in attempt to shame people into not disagreeing with them.
"How dare you challenge a grieving mother? If you didn;t send your own kid off to Iraq or Afghanistan then you're not allowed to opine about the war blah, blah, blah."

SO tiresome.

Also, always felt like Sheehan was a deeply troubled woman whose grief drove her sort of mad - the way the Left used her was despicable. She's not blameless, since she met with Bush several times *before* she pulled her stunt vigil at Bush's ranch demanding that he meet with her.

She loved it when I swept her off her feet. She freaked out when I tried to put her in the trunk. WTF?

Probably because the Left has been playing the "highest moral authority" game for so long. Sheehan was just one in a long line of victims they elevated to spout their ideas in attempt to shame people into not disagreeing with them.

204 So some protesters trying to burn American flags set themselves on fire.

You're on fire. You're on fire, stupid, an officer shouted as he wielded a can of extinguishing spray.

I don't know if I would have tried to put the fire out.

205 To steal a quote from someone else "According to Aristotle's classic definition in his Rhetoric, the art of rhetoric includes three factors: logos (logical soundness), ethos (the speaker's self-characterization and credibility), and pathos (the emotional effect produced in the audience by the speaker)."

Two out of the three don't depend on the soundness of the argument.

Twas ever thus.

"How dare you challenge a grieving mother? If

allowed to opine about the war blah, blah, blah."

The Reds have indeed long gone in for the "grieving mother" crap, most notably now "Mother Jones." Hell, she's not my mother. No word on "Father Jones." Probably no idea who "Father Jones" was.

223 Also, always felt like Sheehan was a deeply troubled
woman whose grief drove her sort of mad - the way the Left used her was
despicable. She's not blameless, since she met with Bush several times
*before* she pulled her stunt vigil at Bush's ranch demanding that he
meet with her.

Posted by: Lizzy

The photos of her in some magazine, laying on her son's grave.

Her husband divorced her over all this.

Yes, she had some "issues".

Pretty sad and strange, and especially how the politicians and the media ultimately used her. Mainstreaming mental and emotional problems, then dumping her like a hot potato.

229 Sheehan got hundreds of death threats. It was simply in 2005 and Twitter didn't exist. In those days, death threats were quaint things that came in your inbox from a burner email account.

I'm not defending this GQ writer I've never heard of or read. It's a stupid, crass, tasteless thing to say. I just think it's odd you are comparing and contrasting with Sheehan who the right was absolutely obsessed with for over a year. I just went to Michelle Malkin's site. She has over 100 Cindy Sheehan articles. That's crazy.

Casey Sheehan enlisted in 2000. He re-enlisted after the invasion of Iraq. He volunteered for the rescue mission on which he was killed. Cindy Sheehan has never been able to accept that her son was a patriot, brave, and wanted to get away from her.

Posted by: jmt at July 20, 2016 08:11 PM

He twitted that HE wanted to beat to death the mother of a dead Navy SEAL. I think he has severe mommie issues and is jealous of a dead man whose mother loves and misses him and wants his death honorably avenged. The $hithead doesn't have, understand or know a mother like that because he was never an honorable man nor child.

Absolutely, her son was a hero and it pisses her off b/c he rejected her entire values system.

Her son made the willful and conscious decision to engage in conspicuous gallantry and paid the total price.

He is and belongs in America's hallowed ground of heroes.

She belongs in an insane asylum, and I told her so back in Crawford Texas.
