Cindy Sheehan Does Martha's Vineyard: 3 Day Cruise, 'Limited Interviews' and a Little Protesting
Monday, August 24, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/24/2009 5:00:52 PM PDT by kristinn

Cindy Sheehan is heading to Martha's Vineyard this week for a three day cruise, 'limited interviews' and a little protesting of vacationing Barack Obama for not losing the war on terror fast enough for her liking.

According to Cape Cod Today, Sheehan will be co-captaining three days of sailing around Martha's Vineyard aboard the 'SS Camp Casey' from August 27 to 29 with "peace movement leaders, international news 'anchors' and pro-peace members of the public." as an acting Department of Peace. On her blog, Sheehan says they will be working on 'the first draft of the International People's Declaration of Peace.'

Sheehan is quoted as saying, "I am calling in the Peace Movement to encircle our country with our united demand for an immediate return of all U.S. forces around the globe. Bring every one of our troops home NOW! We need them in our families and towns. This world needs a permanent vacation from war."

Sheehan has the publicity services of the leftist Institute for Public Accuracy. The D.C. outfit put out a press release informing the media Sheehan will be "available for a limited number of interviews".

Sheehan will hold a press conference Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. at the same location where the traveling White House press corps is located, Oak Bluffs Elementary School.

The prospects for a media lovefest akin to her debut protest against a vacationing President George W. Bush four years ago in Crawford, Texas are doubtful. ABC News anchor Charles Gibson told Sheehan last week, "enough already".

Three day cruises, managed press availibilities, and a week on the Vineyard. Who could say 'enough already' to that? JambaJuice smoothie, anyone?

Someone notify the Coast Guard to double check her "captain's license".

El Rushbo now refers to the liberal island resort as “Marxist Vineyard”.

Limited to the number of journalists who even bother to acknowledge her existence.

It seems as if she is being coddled, rewarded even.

She gets a nice little vacation and no dirt will stick to Obama from her tepid criticism if him.

Sheehan is consistent in her opposition to the war She shows that the DUmmies, Kos Kids, Moveons and the Dems cynically used her son’s death and her opposition to work against the GOP. Normally showing Dem hypocrisy is a plus, but what is going to happen here is the haloed one will come out with a statement that Cindy should support the troops and that American soldiers do not need or deserve the lack of support as demonstrated by Sheehan. Obama will come out looking supportitive of the troops and mainstream as opposed to Sheehan’s nuttiness.The hypocrisy will not even be noticed, let alone mentioned.

I'm curious as to how she got onto that island. You'd think that with the tightened security even the sea gulls would have to pass through checkpoints.Whatever organization is supporting her, they have excellent infiltration skills.
On the other hand, She and her ilk are not very happy with how he's been going.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/21/opinion/21krugman.html

No! It’s his chance, by ignoring her, to go mainstream and play act his role as a middle of the roader. The big wheels of the Obama bus are getting ready for another body to flatten.

I think its time for Cindy to travel to Pakistan and present her peace demand to Taliban leaders.

Most of the DUmmies have tumbled and hate her now, But I can see Obama using her further.

And then all the DUmmies will cry about how mean they were and isnt Obama fantastic for healing the scars on our hearts...

One thing that the Obama presidency has put into even sharper focus for me, is that most of the leaders of the world do not want peace. - Cindy Sheite

So Obama’s an evil war monger just like Bush?

No. She is setting the stage for him to become the “true Messiah” He can come out in a teachable moment play kissy face and show the world he isnt like the rest.

Then in a wash of good feelings he can pull out the troops and undermine the work of all our military. (to heart felt applause)

Color me very skeptical

The state-run media has no further use for Cindy.
She was a great story when Bush was the target. Now that Hussein Obama is the culprit, it is not a story anymore.
The State-run media will protect their boy at any costs.

When Cindy first came into national attention, I figured, hey, cut her some slack, her son was killed, and she’s struggling to handle a horrible grief that I can’t even begin to imagine. I like to think if I were in her shoes, I’d handle things better, but still....?

However,the vampires on the Left found her while she was in an extremely vulnerable emotional state and they manipulated her for their own purposes, and then when they had no more use for her or her grief,they kicked her to the curb.

The thing is, now, Cindy doesn’t seem to realize the scumbags who used her have since moved on. The losers that Cindy’s running with now are very low-level, crunchy-granola wannabes who never realized the 60’s ended 40 years ago.

Me, also. How she arranged it all in such a short time, she definitely had 'outside' help setting the stage all in BO's favor.

There, fixed. Time for their useful tool to be put back in the drawer for next time. Gibson told her on-air 'enough'? What gall. Coming soon - speak only when spoken to...
