Rita: "Just a Little Wind & Rain"

I thought the "Occupied New Orleans" comments would finally demonstrate Cindy Sheehan's status as an unhinged moonbat. But this comment on Kos shows her for what she is, and should serve to be the final nail in the coffin:

rita (3.33 / 3)

I see. We are expected to mourn the death of her son and take drastic action in his name, but Cindy couldn't give a flip about what's happening to her fellow citizens who are fighting for their lives on the Gulf Coast. Just a week earlier, Garden Hat Cindy was crying in her soup about the poor folks of Algiers, LA in the wake of Katrina. But then she was leveraging that to draw attention to her own agenda. But unfortunately, Rita dared to steal the spotlight on Saturday from the International ANSWER anti-war rally in Washingon (click here to watch Cindy's pathetic speech, given with one of her political masters, Jesse Jackson looking on. Hat tip, Political Teen.)

I no longer feel sorry for this woman. I loathe her. She is despicable. She has allowed herself and her son's memory to be hijacked by the Misery Exploiters (TM); Michael Moore, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and other jackals who descend upon troubling circumstances for the sole purpose of pushing their agendas or enhancing their own careers.

Fortunately, some of the commenters on Kos put Sheehan in her place. It's interesting however, to note Sheehan's half-hearted backpedal:

I'm in Southeast Texas with family on the coast and in Lake Jackson, LA.
I'd like you to tell us it's just a little wind and rain. They've lost their homes, jobs and businesses and gone through fear and panic while you bask in your fan's adulation, party with your celebrity friends and play the star.
Shame on you, you're jealous of media coverage of other's suffering. You've become a caricature and I no longer support you. I'm ashamed I ever did.

i am sorry (2.75 / 4)
when i was watching cnn this morning, that's what it was...i know it was much worse earlier and it was devastating, i didn't make myself clear and i apologize.
i also know that the media will cover anything else besides the war.

Before today I would have just believed you, but.. (3.00 / 7)
Cindy, these posts have time stamps.
when i was watching cnn this morning, that's what it was
Four hours before your post, the eye hit just east of Port Arthur and west of Lake Charles. Between then and two hours after your post, hurricane force winds were tearing through Beaumont and Orange, TX and all through Vermillion Parrish, LA. Imagine, if you can, what was happening to those poor people while you were watching tv and getting upset about them covering "a little wind and a little rain" rather than your special day.
it was devastating earlier
And during. And after.

You might also realize that the people in a hurricane's wake don't suddenly get happy and whole an hour after the eye passes over. It's still not a little wind and a little rain to them. Do you know they are still very afraid down there - right now, Cindy, trying to find 1,000 people lost in Vermillion as I type..
You can find the story now on CNN's website. I'm very sorry, it's slightly above the story about you - that's just so unfair too isn't it.
i also know that the media will cover anything else besides the war.
Well Joan Baez sang for you today, and you got your smiling-happy picture taken with Jesse Jackson today, and your story is still front page on CNN.com today. So it was a very good day. Yes it was a beautiful day for Cindy wasn't it?
Except for a little wind and a little rain earlier.
