Right Wing Nuts

Well, just when you think the slime-merchants on the right can't sink any lower, they post made-up email from alleged family members of Cindy Sheehan. Drudge is a sick bastard and this doesn't surprise me one bit. (See note below.)

He isn't the only one. The rest of the right wing slime machine is kicking it into high gear on this poor woman as well. For more details on the attack on Sheehan, see this entry on Mahablog. Disgusting!

Since when is it un-American to protest an immoral war? Let's hope this one woman's efforts are just the beginning.

Note: If, by some miracle, Drudge actually did do some research on this email and has determined it is from family of Cindy Sheehan, I'd find this irrelevant. Does the opinion of other family members supersede that of HIS MOTHER? Is her message diminished because someone disagrees with it? This is still the United States, right?

UPDATE: Cindy Sheehan has this to say about the email from her "family members".

"We have always been on separate sides of the fence politically, and I have not spoken to them since the elections when they supported the man who is responsible for Casey's death," she said. "... My family, Casey's dad and my other three kids are on the same side of the fence that I am."
