Two Different Views-Cindy Sheehan
From Ann Coulter:
Call me old-fashioned, but a grief-stricken war mother shouldn't have her own full-time PR flack. After your third profile on "Entertainment Tonight," you're no longer a grieving mom; you're a C-list celebrity trolling for a book deal or a reality show.

From Maureen Dowd:
it's "inhumane" for Bush not "to understand that the moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute."

Let Us Not Forget Where She Stands
This quote is from 1970. To know where she stands today, substitute "communism" with "islamicfacism".
Because if it's about hating America, Fonda is all for it.
From Jane Fonda:
I would think that if you understood what communism was you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become
communists." - Jane Fonda, at Michigan State University, quoted in
Detroit Free Press of November 22, 1970.

Finally, Pat Robertson. Oh, and Someone Else
From a "700 Club" Broadcast, Pat Robertson said:
"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."
Calling the president of oil-rich Venezuela a threat to U.S. security,
Robertson said assassinating Chavez would be "a whole lot cheaper than
starting a war." He added, "It's a whole lot easier to have some of
the covert operatives do the job and get it over with."

AND...well,well,well, George Stephie from the Clinton era:

I like this feature a lot Pat, and appreciate the variety opinions expressed as well - thanks!
2 - Maurice
I like excess a lot! Amen, brotha..
Thanks for pointing out the excesses on both sides. Very amusing. Or should I say varied and amusing.

LOVE the balance -- equal opportunity offender that I am!

To know where she stands today, substitute "communism" with "islamicfacism".
That's fine that you don't like Fonda, but you don't do anything to show that she feels the same way about both isms. Why don't we put your name in place of Fonda's to see what your feeling were like back in 1970? It would be just as accurate.
Do you really think Saddam and Chavez are moral equivalents? What country did Venezuela invade? When did Chavez gas his own countrymen? Does he have WMD?
When you misrepresent the right as you do the left, then you will achieve balance.

By your own standards, I submit the following:
This is a quote from 2003, to find out where President Bush stands today, substitute "Saddam Hussein" with "Tom Cruise."
Because if it's about movie stars who practice Scientology, Bush is against it.
Saddam Hussein has a long history of reckless aggression and terrible crimes. He possesses weapons of terror. He provides funding and training and safe haven to terrorists -- terrorists who would willingly use weapons of mass destruction against America and other peace-loving countries. Saddam Hussein and his weapons are a direct threat to this country, to our people, and to all free people.

OMG! Tom Cruise has WMDs!! Tom Cruise lets terrorists sleep over with Katie!! How can we tolerate such inhumanity!!
okay, tongue out of cheek now...
Roger, haven't you been reading about H.Jane's vegetable-oil-bus tour of the country? Haven't you been reading her recent comments in the MSM? Patfish apparently has, and so have I. I see the balance.
So will you, when you take your thumb off the left pan of the scales...

DrPat,
I have friends and family dealing with Katrina, so no, I don't follow the antics of washed-up actresses, but if she made a notable quotable on her current trek, why isn't it included in the pasting, I mean posting above?
Running quotes from then and now side-by-side would have been a perfect way to attack Fonda and I would be all for it. It would be much better than the lone quote from 30-plus years ago we are given, but I understand that Jane Fonda is a buzzword that gets the dogs frothing without the need for thought or context.
I would have pointed out an unfair attack on someone on the right if Patfish had made one.
Just because you look at the scales with your head cocked doesn't mean there's a balance.

Whoa. I saw 'Tom Cruise" and WMD in the same sentence and immediately thought Woefully Miniscule Dick.
OK, now those on the extreme right view the MSM as a band of commie pinko liberals. Those on the extreme left accuse the MSM of being complicit with this Adminsitration. After looking at the list of headlines above, I think both sides should start placing the blame where it belongs... the American public. MSNBC's content managers know that a story about 50,000 virgins will grab the imaginations of its users. That says a lot about us.On a more serious note, I visited MSNBC's website this afternoon for an update on Katrina's assault on the Gulf Coast and was quite amazed by a couple of things. Right above the 'fold' of the home page was this block of information:
In the meantime, CNN is showing the destruction of Katrina because it is compelling television. Reporters are getting blown around in the streets. Windows are blowing out of buildings. Even the Superdome is failing to keep its refugees dry. As many of us remain riveted to the images coming from the Gulf there are the ramifications of Katrina that need to be considered:Now, not wanting to deviate from the topic at hand I decided to leave ya'll with an interesting quote to digest.
9 - DrPat
Tom Cruise and the 50,000 Virgins would be a great name for a rock band.
[channeling Dave Barry]
You ol' topic deviant, you, Silas! How dare you snag us in with that great WMD match for Tom Cruise, and then whiplash us with Pat Robertson's ungoverned tongue and Katrina's blowjob?!?!
I mean, really...
10 - Silas Kain
Pat Robertson's ungoverned tongue has made him a cunning linguist much to the dismay of his wife and personal secretary.
11 - Nancy
Either that was a really clever pun, or I have developed a really dirty mind. And...the king already has 11 or 12 wives; why would he want more, and more to the point, why would any woman want to join the club - or are we talking some kind of status thing, here?
12 - Silas Kain
Sci-Co Records announced today that John Travolta and Isaac Hayes will go on tour with their new rock band Tom Cruise & the 50K Virgins promoting their first CD, Vaseline. Sci-Co, a joint venture between the Church of Scientology and Halliburton, is the producer of the neoconservative books on tape version of Ann Coulter’s Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism narrated by Vice President Dick Cheney.
13 - Silas Kain
Speaking of the McCarthy-era lubricant of choice, has anyone ever really pondered the profundity of the fact that Vaseline is a petroleum product? Take that thought a step further. If crude oil costs $1.59 per gallon, then why does Vaseline's SRP come out to $44.21 per gallon?
14 - RogerMDillion
DrPat,
Still waiting on Fonda's quotes about islamicfacism. You implied they were recent, so they should be easy to find. I sit here eager to read them.
15 - DrPat
Yeah, Silas -- especially when you learn that Vaseline is, essentially, a byproduct of cracking gasoline out of crude oil!
Yep, all those years you were using V-grease, you were really slatherin' up the old rod with the slag of the oil industry!
16 - Silas Kain
DrPat, you cause me to go down a slippery slope. Let's consider all the V-grease that was manufactured from crude oil pumped out of Islamic countries. Does the Vaseline one used during sex with a virgin qualify as having a virgin by proxy? If that's the case somebody should tell all these terrorists that their dream of having 75 virgins was fulfilled somewhere around 1953 and they're wasting our time.
17 - DrPat
Now here's a twist, guys -- the discoverer of Vaseline lived to be 96, and claimed it was due to eating a spoonful of Vaseline every day of his life.
One wonders, what prompted him to take the first bite?
18 - John Bill
Good concept for a blog.

"washed-up actresses,"
Hardly. I guess you don't keep up on your show business news, do you? Her film "Monster in Law" grossed $135 mil worldwide this past summer. Try again, kid.
20 - DrPat
Well, SOMEbody's been skipping their spoonful of Vaseline a day...
21 - RogerMDillion
Still waiting on Fonda's quotes about islamicfacism. I guess I'll have to take your quotables with a grain of salt.
"Roger, haven't you been reading about H.Jane's vegetable-oil-bus tour of the country?"
The tour just got cancelled, so I'm not sure what I should have been reading, Dr.?
Too bad that MSS is no longer with us because $135 mil isn't a lot of money for worldwide b.o. and there's no proof that people went to see it because of Fonda.
