Flashback: When Gibson was Enthralled by Cindy Sheehan

Washington Examiner's Byron York how ABC World News anchor Charles Gibson declared “enough already” when asked on Chicago's WLS Radio (audio) about Cindy Sheehan's plan to travel to President Barack Obama's Martha's Vineyard vacation spot next week to protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. York observed how “that's a remarkably different stance from the one Gibson took four years ago” when he was co-host of Good Morning America: [Gibson on multiple multiple dates]

“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."

“All across the country protests against the war in Iraq, inspired by the mother standing her ground at President Bush's ranch.”

"This morning a war of words. All across the country protests against the war in Iraq, inspired by the mother standing her ground at President Bush's ranch."


With "CAN ANTI-WAR MOMS STOP BUSH?" on screen throughout the interview session, Charles Gibson gave her a lot of credit, asking in the midst of giving her publicity:

“You are but a small group there that is perched on the approach to the President's ranch. One hundred, two hundred people. Do you really think you've got people talking about the war?"


Now that it's a Democrat President she's protesting?

"Enough already".
