California Conservative

Writing from the hotbead of liberalism, the S.F. Chronicle editorializes: “It would be easy to dismiss Cindy Sheehan’s protest in Crawford, Texas, against the U.S. invasion of Iraq as one woman’s response to the death of her soldier son in Iraq.”

Nothing is easy when the media is spinning a story.

Some conservatives, including talk-show host Bill O’Reilly, are now desperately trying to discredit her. They’re calling her actions treasonous, or implying as much.

But Sheehan is no “Hanoi Jane” Fonda. As a distraught mother with no ties to traditional anti-war organizations, she won’t be as easily tarred.

“No ties” to anti-war organizations? Really?

UPDATE

CORRECTIONS: S.F. Chronicle — “An editorial Tuesday saying that talk-show host Bill O’Reilly implied that anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan’s actions were treasonous mischaracterized O’Reilly’s statements.”

The entire editorial was mischaracterized.
