Just Plain Nuts

Geez, the wingers lay it on so thick at times you've gotta wonder--in this case Mark Williams, Fox radio, um, whatever (of course):

Well, the pontifications of a self-serving Democrat political candidate notwithstanding, this tour is neither anti-Cindy Sheehan, nor is it pro-war. I have not spoken with a single individual in the last three years who is pro-war, nor anybody who is anti-Cindy Sheehan. What we are against is the damage she is causing. I just got back from Iraq, talking with the troops, talking with the Iraqis. And I see the damage that's done by pathetic creatures like the woman I'm talking to [Rowley] and Cindy Sheehan.

[crosstalk]

O'DONNELL: What specifically do you mean, Mark?

WILLIAMS: I'm about to get to that. When they get up there and they present this country as divided, as still arguing issues that were decided, debated, and voted on three years ago, that both demoralizes our troops and invigorates the insurgency. And it's no mistake that the lion's share of the violence is in and around Baghdad. That's where there are more Western news cameras per capita than probably any other city on the planet Earth. Where they see this kind of division, they use it as a fund-raiser and a recruiting tool.

[crosstalk]

ROWLEY: Mark, if you don't mind, you're making the case that Cindy Sheehan is hurting the morale of our troops?

[crosstalk]

WILLIAMS: She is aiding and abetting the enemies of this country and the people who killed her son.

[crosstalk]

WILLIAMS: Right now, Casey Sheehan is spinning in his grave.


Geez, you'd think Cindy Sheehan is eleven feet tall and spits bullets...oh, and as for Colleen Rowley, who's also on the receiving end of Williams's rant? Why, she's only one of many government employees who, unlike Mark's hero in the White House, actually tried to protect the country.

Had Team Bush bothered to do their jobs (instead of following Shrubya's lead by taking vacations), 9/11 might have been prevented. And, once again, we have someone who purportedly knows Casey Sheehan--or, his ghost--better than his own mom.

One more thing: the idea that the insurgency is relying on Cindy Sheehan to sow dissent in the United States doesn't even pass the laff test. Williams's head is so far up his ass on that one that he can see daylight.

And I'd like to know what Mark Williams has EVER done that could reasonably be construed as "service to his country" (court ordered community service doesn't count).
