Queen Moonbat Shrieks Again

While she looks no worse than usual, her ongoing hunger strike is obviously taking a mental toll on "America's most outspoken anti-war activist," Cindy Sheehan. The Moonbat Queen appeared on MSNBC last night, where guest Hardball hostess Norah O'Donnell grilled her over views which even the liberal media often find a bit extreme.

Here are some of the better exchanges from the interview:

O'DONNELL: Americans may hate the war, but they don't necessarily hate the president. How do you expect to get change by going around the world and trashing the president of the United States?

SHEEHAN: Actually, I don't hate the president, either. And I don't trash the president; I trash the president's foreign policy, which is fundamentally and inherently wrong and immoral. ...

O'DONNELL: But you called him "the biggest terrorist in the world." So you are trashing the president.

SHEEHAN: Well, you know, he says a terrorist is somebody who kills innocent men, women and children, and there have been over 100,000 innocent men, women and children killed in Iraq on his orders.

O'DONNELL: Cindy, you have just begun a two-month hunger strike. Isn't this really just more of a publicity stunt?

SHEEHAN: No, actually it's not. It's a moral reaction to an immoral war. Thousands of people all over the world are joining us. And hunger strikes have proven to be effective tools in civil disobedience and changing policy.

O'DONNELL: But do you honestly expect Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld or the president of the United States to say, "Cindy Sheehan is going on a hunger strike and so I'm going to end this war?"

O'DONNELL: Would you rather live under Hugo Chavez than George Bush?

SHEEHAN: Yes. You know, Hugo Chavez is not a dictator like you introduced him. He's been democratically elected eight times, and he's not anti-American. ... He has helped the poor people of America. He has sent aid to New Orleans. He has sold heating oil to disadvantaged people in America, in the United States of America at low cost, and he — the people of this country love him.

O-kaaaayyyy. Thank you, Cindy. (Where are those men in the pretty white coats when you really need them?)

You can watch the entire segment at Expose the Left; those who tend to suffer from migraines or weak stomachs may prefer to browse the transcripts instead.

Expose the Left also has video footage of Sheehan's patriotic Fourth of July outing, at which she labeled American troops as rapists and war criminals:

We are here to declare independence from war and occupation and oppression. We are standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the American coalition, and Iraqis don't have enough water to drink, who don't have enough food to eat, who can get killed when they go to the marketplace to shop for their families, who can get raped by our soldiers just living, whose families can be killed. This war is a war crime and soldiers trying to survive are committing war crimes.

I for one am hopeful that Sheehan's dedication to her "moral reaction" hunger strike is as unwavering as her hatred of President Bush and the American military.
