THE NEWSHOUNDS COME THROUGH AGAIN!

They expose another FAUX smear of Cindy Sheehan:

A little while ago, at 2:05 PM ET, FOX News Live edited one of Cindy Sheehan's quotes so as to completely alter its meaning.
Laurie Dhue introduced the segment by saying snidely that Cindy Sheehan is the "so-called Peace Mom," as if that in itself is something distasteful.
Molly Henneberg reported from Crawford, TX that Sheehan "says America is not worth dying for." Rather than provide a specific source or a clip, Henneberg merely told the audience Sheehan said that "back in April at a rally in San Francisco for a lawyer convicted of providing support to terrorists." Perhaps the reason no clip or source was provided was because Henneberg completely distorted what Sheehan said.
In fact, Iraq was the country Sheehan said was not worth dying for, as this complete quote from a
transcript at wikipedia shows:

I'm going all over the country telling moms: "This country is not
worth dying for. If we're attacked, we would all go out. We'd all take whatever
we had. I'd take my rolling pin and I'd beat the attackers over the head with
it. But we were not attacked by Iraq." {applause)
