Doesn’t she know that George Bush is out of office? War is okay now as far as the lefty media is concerned, even if it’s the same exact one that they fried Bush for continuing to fight. Suddenly protesting combat operations in Iraq and the administration responsible for them is worthy of condemnation.

In an appearance August 18 on WLS radio in Chicago, ABC News anchor Charles Gibson was asked about anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan’s plans to travel to Martha’s Vineyard next week, where she will protest the Iraq and Afghanistan wars while President Obama is vacationing there. Gibson, whose newscast and network featured Sheehan when she led anti-war protests outside President Bush’s Texas ranch in 2005, answered, “Enough already.”

That’s a remarkably different stance from the one Gibson took four years ago. On August 9, 2005, the ABC anchor conducted an extensive on-air interview with Sheehan. “Cindy Sheehan is her name,” Gibson began. “She says she’s not moving until the president meets with her, and I had a chance to speak with her a few minutes ago. Cindy Sheehan, bottom line, what do you hope to accomplish with all this?” During the next week, Gibson and ABC continued to cover Sheehan. On August 17, 2005, when Sheehan left Crawford, Gibson reported, “We’re going to turn next to the standoff that is playing out near President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. Cindy Sheehan, you know, the mother who lost a son in Iraq, is now on the move, but she’s still standing her ground. ABC’s Geoff Morrell is in Crawford with the details…” The next day, Gibson reported, “All across the country last night, people held candlelight vigils in support of Cindy Sheehan…” Sheehan was mentioned in several other ABC newscasts, as well.

Bottom line: The lefty media used Sheehan like a dirty tissue in order to attack the Bush Administration. Now that Barack Obama is the president fighting the war, those pesky anti-war protesters — Sheehan specifically — should just shut up and go away. Doesn’t she know that we can’t criticize The One for anything, even if Bush was fried for the same exact thing for years?
