155. "It gets us thinking and talking."
She is not responsible for us talking about the war - That statement is exactly my point - we're not talking about the WAR - we're talking about her methods - there's a BIG difference.

I never said she should be quiet - I think Cindy's message was loud and clear at Camp Casey and in her quest to get some kind of answer from * (she made him look like the evil bastard he is with that tactic), when she tried to deliver signatures to the UN, etc.. I believe she is completely correct in her message and admire her guts to do what she does while suffering the pain of losing her son.

WHAT I am trying to say is I wish she would use her popularity to continue to have her message HEARD not lost in the hoopla. It's a tough balancing act to be sure but she will be much more effective if she isn't seen as a hysterical nutcase on TV.

The media is wanting to make her look like a nut and she is helping them at times with some of the methods.

"This Congress needs public shaming." - before they even took office?? :shrug:
