A word from Major Cleveland

Last night we wrote about the disgusting efforts of Minnesota Democrats to shut down the Progress for America advertising campaign feauturing soldiers and the families of fallen soldiers supporting the war in Iraq. The advertising campaign is of course in part a predictable response to the media celebration of Cindy Sheehan. The response was in fact predicted by Major Diggs Cleveland writing this past December on 4 Mile Creek. Major Cleveland wrote:
[T]he Republican response to this lady's vamping in the
limelight should be so simple, so easy (and so effective
once it takes place) that it is hard to understand why
the Dems have hung so much of their future on this hag.
The Dems have one single embittered, America-hating, anti-
Semitic, publicty hound to parade in front of American
voters. The Republicans will be able to find hundreds of
parents; well spoken, educated, sincere parents who are
not seeking to cash in on their son or daughter's service
and death in Iraq, who will counter the message that
Cindy Sheehan speaks for them. They will step forward,
and talk about the love they had for their children; of
the sacrifice their son or daughter made, of their
heartfelt loss, and of the incredible sense of pride they
have in their son or daughter's service. Despite their
death in Iraq.
Now that soldiers such as Minnesota's Lt. Col. Bob Stephenson and parents such as the mother of St. Paul's Michael Carlson have in fact stepped forward to say their piece, the Democrats and their media mouthpieces such as Nick Coleman are doing their best to defame them and suppress their message.
Major Cleveland is serving in Iraq with the 4th Infantry Division. In a message last night from Baghdad, Major Cleveland writes:
"What I hadn’t even dreamed of, was that the Democrats
would stoop so low as to say that those same families had
no right to call their sons and daughters heroes. There
is no shame in the Democratic Party anymore. No shame."
