Dialogue or Diatribe?

Asks Dennis Sanders about Cindy Sheehan. The black moderate Republican blogger writes: "The more that you hear from the California woman, the more shrill she sounds. She talks about having the President 'listen' to her and then calls the man a murderer and a terrorist. She says the President killed her son forgetting that her son chose to be in the Army and put himself in harm's way.....If this was for oil, I don't think we'd all be paying close to $3 a gallon. Sheehan presented herself as a mainstream Mom, but in reality, she is part of the far left that has as disturbing a world view as the far right. We need a good discussion about how to deal with Iraq, but Ms. Sheehan's remarks do nothing to move this discussion forward. The scene in Crawford with Ms. Sheehan and her supporters on one side and Bush supporters on the other is just more of the same: the extremes yelling at each other and not coming up with any ideas to solve this problem. Ms. Sheehan could have helped us all talk about how we can help Iraq and also set a time table for a withdraw[a]l. We are not having that discussion right now. I want that discussion. Instead, she has joined the voices of the shrill. You lost me, Ms. Sheehan and maybe many others."
