Sheehan protest spurs backlash

Cindy Sheehan's supporters are calling published reports of her extremist statements "smears," because they don't want you to know how radical she is. STORY

The antiwar protests are producing a backlash across the country from Americans who support the war.

Predictably, The New York Times reports that the war is becoming a problem for Republicans.

But Newsweek's Howard Fineman told MSNBC's Don Imus this morning that Democrats need to be concerned about appearing to be the antiwar party going into the 2006 elections. Such an image, with Michael Moore, Howard Dean and Jane Fonda at the fore would reinforce the perception that Democrats are weak on national security and predisposed to cut and run at the first sign of trouble.

The rhetoric of the Vietnam antiwar movement isn't helping either. Some of Sheehan's suppporters have dredged up John Kerry's famous phrase that he used during his 1971 Senate testimony: "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" So far, no reporter has aksed the Massachusetts Senator if he thinks it is appropriate for his words to be applied to the war in Iraq.
