" MS anti war activist now ignored by the media Cindy good morning your NW RKO. Very good thank you for -- coming on with us today I am astounded. By the the lack of interest the media had."

" A Democrat in the White House is war only a bad thing if it's run by Republicans."

" That are dead and dying started to crack for congress to get -- NC. When it became a typical media black out what I was doing speak. It's not. Doing anything like that are killed."

" Tell -- and now sending. -- And you have been. Fully active that whole time except there was a brief period when you quit but that didn't last very long. Five weeks and then you can't look at what may what made you feel like you have to get back into."

" I got back Andy. Source put it. Incidences. Expects congress than anything about it -- that but I decided out again and it."

" And did you find any use said that there's a similar blackout to when you'd be used -- decided to run against Nancy Pelosi. I would've thought that there would have been great excitement in in San Francisco over the idea policy having US an opponent. That didn't turn out to be the case."

" Well this could be the case -- media or at the local media aren't. It's a thousand people voted for me about it yet."

" You are an issue oriented person -- you're not concerned about parties you have specific policy goals you want to achieve. And matter you don't care who helps you do them right. Now."

" It it. Not about. Party politics. But it again it they are there there are still -- dialing nine and we do have a democratic president. I just think it's tragic. Many. Many people -- are -- anymore. And that Barack Obama is. But it's not about political reality. It's a lot and -- And people are dying on both sides and that's not acceptable. And it did leather covered by the media ever by the media that other people would mean company would mean I'm not doing it because it's the right thing to do."

" Were you surprised. That Barack Obama. After having. Really built his candidacy on a promise to systematically withdraw troops out of out of Iraq over sixteen months without regard for what was happening on the ground. I mean that would that was the position that allowed him to outflank Hillary. And now the White House and he's leaving everybody in Iraq. For some long period of time which is undefined. It does that surprise you or do you would you shrug your shoulders and say business as usual."

" Whether the president as a democratic republic and basically -- contract has it comes to things like that. And I'd better support. Either -- major party candidate supported the Green Party candidate. The but what I am surprised about -- Graduate. -- In somewhat of an."

" It was -- and I thought we'd do it instantly organize and so lead and be strong at amber at Aaron. Now that Obama aren't that saying we need to make can do it. Well now is basically told us that we. -- need to be out in the street sense I don't know it calling it Martha's Vineyard next week is going to be any different. The President Obama or as -- people around him that it makes it different I mean I don't have to be doing so have to see. It's in iron core values. And hopefully. The relay. That act like."

" Cindy Sheehan is our guest from California she's an anti war activists -- she got up early today to join us we appreciate that Cindy and as she just alluded to next week. She will be going to Martha's Vineyard because. The president will be their vacationing in justice she protested. George Bush when he was on vacation in Crawford Texas. A few years back she's doing the same thing to Barack Obama the big differences of course. That that was a major news item. And Cindy became front page news when she was leading -- into -- movement then. Now there is no anti war movement even though others just as much fighting and killing going on. That's say a critical irony now I wanna explore further with you Cindy this notion that. The president has his hands tied because. I I just don't get this lack of interest. In ending the war on the part of Barack Obama or as you point out the anti war movement we had Monday of Benjamin on here from. Code pink a few weeks ago I said or when will you organization declare. Barack Obama to be a war criminal and she. Hesitated a second she's so well it's funny we were just talking about that. And I so what do you sighed she so we decided to give another year. And I said another year to. Further solidify. His car course I mean what exactly does about what we wanna give a chance."

" So how do you figure this I just. Don't understand."

" Well he's not only continuing. Put policies is. I. Making -- even or is increasing levels Afghanistan. Again. Are -- historical. And that make me so frustrated with that -- the so called on high -- management. Is that people and then people are I mean. Aaron. We can't we can't give that a -- that's it the way our integrity that it that way our. Integrity and vision if that was -- older black that are still aren't. Under Obama and it will be under the next president but it's still going on. No matter is president it might predate the image any line and it was the same thing I would besides whoever that it means. The protest here and I think that she would expect as a matter acting thing. -- ASCII content the president. Top advisers today it was not as Andy is saying. About secretary Tom -- That he's done is that right -- convenient it is the right thing on the right."

" It has the right thing and the -- people are dying."

" Cindy said a few minutes ago that he you're not surprised that Barack Obama went back on his campaign pledge regarding Iraq because his hands are tied what do you mean by that."

" Hand you know I'm not -- about one hand being tied but there are. A lot. If it's Barack Obama or is it and it signed it sign orders today. They screen -- some outlet but. -- they -- in the ill start. Under -- a policy. Up without he did that today on yeah he's going to hit because there is lobbyist -- The military industrial complex and making money -- as. I believe I don't believe -- about. Every agent of change that I believe that is. A partner at a well. That is not going to use the right thing because it is theoretically can do it today but not in the top and has not gonna happen much. There's a partner that kind of what it can't answer that people. Protesting at the town hall meetings. People are doing am -- right. I didn't write it and they're ally like at rebuilding aspect of -- there that have pressured the start and the war in Iraq and we'll. Give them another air as. Lacked integrity at flat. Have perfect answer."

" While it's also not know how to understanding our system of government as you just presented at that if the people the -- in fact the people must. -- rise up the people must provide a base of support and energy that the leaders can tap into in order to effect change."

" We have you know -- politician and very few politicians have any kind of or moral integrity. We the people have to be on that gives them currently we don't have to compromise we don't have the time. You know indictment yet let's talk about give -- can't get another year because. Like at that and they world war crimes under George Bush. And it George Bush was a war criminals and -- war crimes under Obama on the same thing can be. Obama."

" Anti war activist Cindy Sheehan is our guests NW RKO you're going to Martha's Vineyard next week because the obamas will be there are how will you handle yourself there. In order to try to attract attention and develop support for your cause."

" Well -- not going to have a hard about it. Art ad network except for -- apparently. Behind this act. I'm excited. President we've been offered by the gators last miles from my Obama as saying. Let -- get. As so we're going -- You know there was an hour. Batters are fine where. And rallies and hopefully it. You know like at that rally some kind. Or -- voices that. The people of Iraq and Afghanistan Pakistan and absolutely they're they're basically we have hopefully. -- I believe I -- her back and you know. These kind of and --"

" 61726666. He nearly RN WR -- Cindy -- the morning mail."

" I. I Ers are okay good morning. I -- and I are terrorists and I'm really start the exact site. Dario all doubt there's I want to understand that I don't being. Made it our way I want it though. What you thought you -- I believe you'll lose. I just thought you know but they used to call it useful. And I don't wanna. -- And that really. Bought -- to our."

" Well how is how she used."

" It was clear stereo -- certain. It's not. That they get it -- believe that you are true war first Jewish news. --"

" Well that's how it was for the cause it -- agreed with so. You know you take everybody on your side whatever their motives are because we're really respond to -- to a Nielsen."

" On art I -- now I -- Is cracked. I. And anyway. Without an idiot but I've -- some. Because change my. Mind -- as -- Ollie Dan. You know that your aunt and being. Human hand. Motives than the fact that I and many other mothers. -- family -- and I I think event fortunately. Many of content where it. -- I am -- cop the by the Democratic Party is get Democrats elected I have Democrat Tommy can I say about I. Plus -- candidate Barack Obama quoted as saying. -- help but it'll act and look up and the war. The Democrats have been back an -- currently about the matter. And that means -- that or has even come close up again I think many people are Democratic Party. It. Payment imminently -- Diana. Again. Democrat. And Democrat."

" They want themselves."

" Can't have them act clinic this exact thing that the republic and yet it's."

" Which would mean -- wrong they're not as anti war is you are let let's go to Greg in our election -- here on WRKO Cindy Sheehan tiger."

" You city get off I guess they want I was borrowing that then you know they used to protest George Bush every Monday night but I -- a I -- that it did it'd be sick. Because I think that there. One thing I'll players you know the number of people all their protests -- one -- Apollo wanted to 32 true. And I go back and -- sensitive to people. You know one night I think you ought to -- every respect you because. -- you really believe. You're seeing it through how devastating these new but I do what they want to do you know people on the right respect of the free speech and the constitution. You better be careful because. There's been some hope not on the left it pretty violent agreement. It could -- that -- people up her rallies and stuff just for our. There are not put in the cool it."

" In I take -- at that event at Arlington by the way that I. So people. Our galore at Arlington. It's it's weird like -- Mac no matter what side you're on the only. -- because they agree it is even I don't agree with the people account Armenian. And there are speaking out again. I'm out there. Static it was that Democrat land either but factories that they have that right. Is being I've been attacked by people on the Friday. It. People on the last but I never. You know I thought but hasn't there might -- and people on the so called right. Is you know protest protest scenes so that we needed and it acts that he is respect all. It's not hate speech and I expect that our. Other passengers. And that Democrat or Republican right at last that they that they do have even though we don't agree let them make up their right to be out there. About."

" All right Cindy Sheehan next week protesting a Martha's Vineyard how to people. Are for their supporter follow what you're doing."

That before board that which she has demonstrated about our country in -- way politics works in this country and certainly about liberals. That their fraudulent that whole eight years we -- seven years. Of that endless mantra against George W. Bush for being a war -- was all alive in Cindy Sheehan is --"
