Impeachment Watch: Sheehan/BDS/Truther mob to disrupt Rose Bowl parade
The impeachment mob plans to stink up the Rose Bowl parade. It’s all part of the New Year’s wave of BDS activities I’ve been telling you about. Prepare for the ultimate moonbat convergence:
There could be some discord during the Tournament of Roses Parade as demonstrators promise to raise issues during the holiday spectacle that has been going on for more than a century. Human rights advocates plan to protest a float honoring the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and anti-war activists, including “Peace Mom” Cindy Sheehan, intend to rally for peace…
…Sheehan, the outspoken San Francisco Bay area activist whose son was killed in Iraq, is campaigning for Congress against Rep. Nancy Pelosi and calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. She will join other pro-impeachment and anti-war groups at the parade, according to her sister, Dede Miller.
As many as 1,000 supporters are expected to rally before and after the parade and distribute 20,000 pamphlets while flying 300 banners along the parade route, said Peter Thottam, executive director of the Los Angeles National Impeachment Center.
Police said they were prepared for the protesters and the hundreds of thousands of spectators.
Will we see muffin top again?
Shudder…

Expect to see “9/11 was an inside job signs.” At the impeachment parade crashers’ site, the disruption is billed as the “Citizen’s Anti-War, Impeachment and 9/11Truth Convergence.”
I’m not kidding.
Maybe Rosie O’Donnell will show up.

Here’s a preview of the parade crashers’ campaign. They call themselves the “White Rose Coalition:”
One of the BDS sufferers held up an “IMPEACH” sign at last year’s Rose Bowl Parade:

Turned off TV. Sheehan disappeared. End of story, problems solved.
LOLOL
People like Ms. Sheehan want to stand on a street corner and have there say I have no problem, but then they try to disrupt other event and peoples when they talk then they are nothing but thugs without a life in my opinion. They don’t believe in free speech, but pushing an agenda by denying others their right to free speech and expression.
Personally I think most of these people can not just live with reality and life and really need to be seeing a doctor.
The harridan should carry her sorry a$$ back to Venezuela and have Hugo Chavez’ love child. Oh, excuse me, I forgot she has absolute moral authority because her son died in combat. And the evil Bushitler would see her only once.
I see some of the Code Pink shrews in my own neighborhood driving pink cars covered with peace signs and such. No Ron Paul sticker, but the Silk Pony gets some adulation.
Put them on the 50 yard line and let Coach Zook’s fighting Illini defense have at them. PLEASE.
Beware the floats Cindy! The driver can’t see you or your wacky friends.
The parade? If these moonbats think they’re so brave, let them try to interrupt the game. See what kind of reaction that would get in this football-loving country.
Gee in the old days you did political protests at well….political events.
Why pick on a parade that may at best have a neutral support our troops statement.
Makes as much sense as protesting at a wedding or a Kentucky Fried Chicken grand opening.
The Rose Bowl parade and Cindy Sheehan…Beauty and the Beast?
Leave it to truly ugly people to disrupt, and ruin something of beauty. The Sheehan/O’Donnell ugliness goes straight to their hearts and souls…true America haters that should be vilified at every turn.
It is simply disgusting to think that creatures of their ilk can put their blackhearted mark on works of art that take hours and hours of hard work to create.
They have, and will do nothing to make this country a better place. To the contrary! Their self-loathing will eventually catch up to them…the sooner, the better.
WTF? The Rose Bowl parade? Any excuse to force their opinions down others throats huh. I hope some businesses that are affected adversely by these protests get smart and start taking the organizers to court for damages. As someone mentioned already, it’s one thing to stage a protest for what you believe in, it’s entirely another to mar an unrelated event because you violently insist that everyone must listen to you.
Almost surprised they don’t turn up and stage a protest when I open my mail in the evenings.
Oh honestly, isn’t this what the Pasadena Doo-dah parade is for, anyway?
Oh no, not the Tournament of Roses Parade!!! By golly, their message might get to the ten people that watch the thing.
Straw poll on how long these people would last in Jeddah or Tehran?
Meanwhile, Sheehan’s other children continue to suffer due to her abandonment of them, including their drug issues and other problems. They have suffered knowing that she cared more about one child than she did about the others. She has gone on to make a pubnlic fool and spectacle of herself, making it impossible for them to show their faces in public, forcing them to go into secclusion in Vacaville. They are embarrassed to be associated with her, as is her EX-husband.
The reason for all this upswing in BDS activity? Could it be the recent report out just yesterday where Iraq claims that 75% of Al Qaeda has been irradicated out of Iraq and that all violent attacks have virtually disappeared? In the last year in baghdad, where in Januaray you would find 20 kidnapped and murdered people, there is only 5. This is seen as a huge victory. Increased security and patrols on the Iranian and Syrian borders has all but ceased any influx of fighters and weapons into the country making the entire country almost all but violence and killing free.
Thus, these BDS’ers and Peacenicks have to get in all their shots in now while they can. Pretty soon, they wont have anything to complain about, and they will be looking even more foolinsh than they already do. Turns out, that if you fight a war long enough, that a clear cut winner does end up being made slear…it usually is the one with the most men, the most ammunition and the biggest and best guns. In this case, as in all future wars, that would be US…as long as the Dems and Liberals keep the Hell out of it.
The best exit strategy is a clear and decisive victory.
They need to get a job
There needs to be a paddy wagon available to take her crazy self to the nearest mental hospital.
She is pathetic.
I’m willing to bet she never cared for her son when he was alive.
Well, one good thing I noticed out of all of this. She’s on the west coast and I’m on the east coast. I’ll be happy as long as it stays that way. 3000 miles between us.
Still laughing! Featuring ole Muffin Top!
By the way Michelle, I was having coffee when I clicked on the “muffin top” link. Thanks.
An event where thousands of children are present should be off there list, disgusting. I’ve attended several Rose Parades out here and can tell you they will not be received politely, expect altercations. Depending on where the moonbats set up they just may be run out of there with they’re tails dragging. Have you ever seen a PO’ed soccer mom? not pretty. Message to code stink, wear you’re body armor.
“..an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
I’m so sick of the “I wanna be on teevee” mentality, and how these clowns think their freedom of speech supercedes the freedom of others to congregate and speak.
How festive and they all will be wearing PINK to signify their political allegiance. The Democrat Party is not the Socialist Party but that doesn’t stop Code Pink from trying to co-op the Democrat base and it doesn’t appear that the MSM is going to point out the difference.
How is this going to help the Democrat canidates when this reminds the country of their fringe base?
Laree #23, could you explain further pls… I don’t want to get you wrong, but it seems like you are suggesting that the role of the MSM is to help the Democratic candidates?
Did I get that right or did I miss something?
#24
I believe the MSM is trying to help the Democrats,there have been polls,and the latest results were that Fox News was the most fair and balanced.
Now MSNBC has had on MediaMatterForAmerica “Waldman” and they have had on the founder of the Daily Kos, they are trying to mainstream the fringe. When the fringe acts out like “Code Pink” the rest of the country that doesn’t belong to the fringe takes notice.
Cindy Sheehan has an online diary, in it she describes her disappointment in the Democrats. Then she goes onto describe what she believes a Democrat believes, it reads like a socialist handbook.
If the MSM is trying to promote Democrats and Cindy Sheehan is defining herself as part of the Democrat’s constituency, the rest of the country is going to take notice of her behavior.
The majority of Americans do not live on the fringe of plitical idealogy,and they don’t indentify with fringe politics. They say it is the Independents who are going to be the deciding factor in this next Presidential Election, if that is the case many are not going to vote for the party who uses Cindy Sheehan as their poster child.

Michelle blogged about the poll, scroll down.

This is what I am referring to.
On the three broadcast networks, opinion on Democratic candidates split 47% positive vs. 53% negative, while evaluations of Republicans were more negative – 40% positive vs. 60% negative. For both parties combined, network evaluations were almost 3 to 2 negative in tone, i.e. 41% positive vs. 59% negative.
Republicans were more negative -40% postive vs. 60% negative. That tells me the MSM perfers Democrats 47% postive with 53% negative.
OK, that holds up… but on the other hand, having an opportunity to distance
herselfthem-self from the fringe could make a candidate seem like more of a centrist, no?#28
Yes but that is the problem, Hillary wants to move to the middle now. There are photos of her online at a Daily Kos Convention, she is on record saying all kinds of things. They pandered to the fringe, and now I think in the General Election it is going to be difficult to distance themselves. What Code Pink is doing, isn’t helpful to the Democrats. Will the Democrats figure this out?
The Independents or undecided voters, swing voters are not part of the fringe. The Fringe on both ends of the political spectrum have already decided who they will vote for.
The Democrats want to convince the undecideds to vote for them. Well Cindy Sheehan, making a spectical at the Parade isn’t going to help.
The Democrats need to come out and define themselves, they need to point out to middle America a reasonable Political Platform. They would be smart to follow Bill Clinton’s lead remember how he handled “the truther heckler” What did he say “how dare you suggest we attacked ourselves on 9-11″
Look, I don’t want Hillary Clinton to get the nomination for the Dem ticket. Anyone can see where they are vunerable and how now their fringe base “Code Pink” is coming back to do them harm. It doesn’t help the Clintons that all their hollywood friends are having photo opps with Hugo Chavez either. Face Time with Hugo, the Clintons or any other Dem canidates, don’t want to get that stain on them. Tell that to the Self Indulgent Hollywood types.
George Clooney so far is the only one that gets it, he stated something like, I don’t want to endorse the Dem Canidate I like, I don’t want to hurt his chances.
Sheehan/BDS/Truther mob to disrupt Rose Bowl parade
Moonbats on parade. Just wonderful. I wonder if they’ll have their own float.
No, but thanks for clarifying your position and ideas on this based on that comment.
Self centered Media whore’s. I’m sure you’ve all noticed that all of the self imposed moral and decentsey rules that applied in this country have been thrown out the window by the left many year’s ago, this is just another example of how much disrespect these people have for anyone, including their own.
I wonder if this is some form of sucide, they are not helping their Democrat canidates out at all. The Left gets angry because they don’t get their way, and they eat their own, look at Daily Kos attacking Harry Reid. This is going to backfire on the Democrat party. The Rose Bowl Parade isn’t about Politics, and it gets aired nationally. Americans are not going to associate these people, with the Republican party.
I have friends who are flying out to the parade for the first time. It’s a shame that it might be ruined by fanatics. There is a time and place for everything and the Rose Bowl Parade is not where political protesting belongs.
#33, that just might be the case… I am filled with hope.
The left however is even angrier when they DO get their way, then there is no one else to blame the failure on
brooklyn red,
I just wish they would leave people alone “code pink” doesn’t get that they annoy the majority of Americans, that their antics don’t endear the majority of Americans, to their cause. If this blows up in the Dems face, well there is an old saying you reap what you sow. They sowed their far left fringe, now they are going to reap the consequences. I guess I should look at this as a glass half full situation. I just don’t understand why anyone should have to put up with these “self indulgent antics” at the Rose Bowl Parade. It doesn’t make me want to vote Democrat.
RetFireman, it’s not so much that the Sheehag cared only about Casey, it’s that only Casey–rest his soul–serves her purposes. It’s not so much her crackpot views but her ghoulish use of her son for attention that’s disgusting. It’s like Munchausen Syndrome. The true sign of an attention whore is one who issues a drama queen press release that she’s “leaving” the protesting profession, then comes roaring back at every conceivable protest event. Now there’s this, where she hopes to get on international television by making a fool out of herself on camera.
She’s part of a worthless antiwar movement that is turning on the public that refused to join it. Make no mistake: this isn’t about changing hearts and minds, this is about anger at the country.
My wife work’s with one of these code pinko’s, telling my wife the reason she is against the war is that her son is over there. Her son came back from Iraq on leave during Thanksgiving, I was fortunate enough to meet this young patrtot. I asked him what do you think about the war his reply “I think we are doing a great job over there, I’ve seen alot of thing’s I really don’t want to talk about but I’ll say this the Iraqi’s need us they can’t do it on their own right now but there are some very compitent Iraqi soldier’s that love their country as much as I love mine and they are willing to fight for it. We’ve done alot of good over there and thing’s are getting better everyday, I volunteered for my 4th tour and will be going back shortly, some of my best buddies are still there, I can’t in good concience leave them to fight on their own after we have achieved so much.” I thanked him for his service and he said “Thank’s I wished my Mom felt the same way.”
This Moonbat Mother of his actually had the gual to wear a code pinko shirt to work, she also lay’s flyers on the counter and I being who I am promptly file them in file 86.The owner of the store is a staunch conservitive, I asked him if he was going to allow her to wear that shirt in his store while she was working he said what shirt and I told him. We walked out of his office and he told her to go home for the day and if she ever wore any political stament’s or discussed her political belief’s with any customer she would be fired. Afer she left we went in the office and had a good laugh.
I think the libs are upset because the violence rates in Baghdad are becoming lower than the violence rates in the shining liberal bastion cities in the US. They are continuously diverting attention from the failures of their ideas and practices.

Oh look! My very FIRST ever TROLL! Isn’t he cute! I’m going to pet him and feed him and keep him in a box under the stairs and call him George! Well, maybe not George…I think he might not like that name, lol.
Now as to clarifying- the Doo-dah parade has lots of people in silly clothes, some of whom are there to make political statements while having fun. Since Code Pink members frequently wear funny clothing, and make political statements, of course I naturally thought that it would be a better venue for them.
Heh, believe that and I have some nice barely used carbon offsets I can sell you next. *grin*
Oh, I didn’t know what a doo dah was, but I googled it. JoAnn’s right. That’s what the Doodah parade is for; it’s the whacko counterpart to the Rose Parade. The Code Pinko types still want to mess up the Rose Parade, even though they have a more appropriate venue available.
Newsflash…The Democrat Party leadership is socialist! The difference between them and the Code Pinkos is that the Pinkos want Socialist/Communist change NOW, while the DemPart leaders want to enrich as many of their friends as possible, first, so that they will have enough of the money people (beneficiaries) around to maintain control/power over the proletariat.
Code Pink does want to be a thorn in the side of anti-socialists. Any action to stifle them will only enhance their perception of victimhood, which is, I’m sure, all part of the plan to forceably change America.
There is no way to change these types of mindsets…afterall, their point of view is the only point of view. Any oppostion to this is violently unacceptable.
Yo JoAnn, like your style… (didn’t you kick me in the chest at the oyster fest coupla years back)?
Any hoo, I don’t think you got a troll there (could be wrong) but sounded more like a college football fan to me,
jus sayin.
Hi Brooklyn Red, I’ve been enjoying your posts too. I am a tickle or hug type person, not a kicker really, and I never had an oyster in my life. I did grow up in Suffolk county, however, so who knows- maybe we bumped in the LIRR a few times.
Well if you say so… but those were MY hushpuppies.
There, that’s more like it.
JoAnn in VA: I am so proud of you. Your very own troll. You can collect them and keep them. If you get enough, maybe we can trade. I have found that once you get one, they tend to multiply. Once you have them tell you they are ignoring your posts, you know you have arrived.
Oh goody, more moonbats on parade. Perhaps they’ll make it interesting, something related to the ‘08 elections.
Hey Cindy: how about a marching couple, joined at the hip, of a big-headed Hillary and Bush, wearing bloodied American uniforms. Be sure to have their nametags be those of someone else’s fallen, someone other than your hero son’s.
And just for grims, have Rep. Lynn Woolsey walk the route with you. After all, you owe her for getting that invite to that State of the Union speech.
Ooo your own troll! I always wanted one of those ones with the wild pink hair that I can stick on top of my pencil.
gawsh that sounds a bit rude doesn’t it.
Protest the parade all you want, Mrs. Sheehan; I’ll be watching the game, not the marching bands!
Cindy Sheehan has taken the values, beliefs, and sacrifice made by her son and wiped her ass with them. She continues to do it. Mom? Mom? Any woman who would use her dead son to advance her own freaky left political views is no mom. Where was she in her son’s formative years? She is not human except in a technical sense. I have never seen such a deliriously happy smile as is on the face of this bag when the police are carrying her off.
I was looking forward to having Pelosi and Reid out there marching with Cindy - then Ted Kennedy could drive them home.
So many speed bumps so little time.
I’m going to watch just to see if one of the float’s goes out of control and wipes the whole bunch out.
Can anyone show me even one instance of someone’s opinion being changed (about anything, political or otherwise)because of some nut case holding a sign and shouting obscenities?
What makes these people think that any body cares what they have to say, after making the effort of designing and building a float or camping out on the street to see a parade?
Do they really think everyone in America is going to see those banners blocking their view of the parade and think “hey, we should impeach the president”?
Get a life Cindy et al.
Stinky Sheehan retired from the anti-war movement. Remember that? Just like Jesse “babydaddy” Jackson retired after they found out he F’ed a woman (not his wife) and got her prego.
Both liars, both just can’t make themselves disappear.
Why these people get any news coverage at all is beyond me. They are pathetic.
Let them I say, let them expose themselves as the boorish idiots they are.
I have a buddy who is a hard worker and has good ideas, but he is so ham-handed in interpersonal relationships he makes even his best ideas seem stupid and worthless; he certainly fails to inspire.
Woe be to the causes of those who confuse earnestness and sincerity with vulgarity and rudeness
Cindy Sheehan was never a mom to her son. His dad raised him, she was too busy being an activist. Wonder if she ever took the time to buy him a stone for his grave? I believe we should raise the money to provide him with a stone befitting the hero he was…does anyone know if he has one?
DagneyT:
It was reported (sorry, no link handy) earlier this year that they had finally placed a stone above Casey’s grave. It took them more than 3 years to do.
Even less honorable is the New York Times. Nowhere in the hundreds of articles and commentaries published about Cindy Sheehan have they once mentioned Casey was awarded the Bronze Star for valor for his actions the day he died.
Well, if Sheehan and her bunch were going to disrupt the parade, it didn’t work. I watched ABC and didn’t see a thing, nor did ABC show any demonstration. Probably just talk from a worthless group.
Glad to hear it. Maybe the police stepped in and wouldn’t let them march.
It’s up on Drudge. Apparently, they didn’t march. They certainly didn’t get any coverage from what I can find.
no no NO!!! Keep the socialists OUT!! Rose bowl is for football, not for left-wing emotion!! Stay away from us!
