Cindy Sheehan has gone from opposing President Bush to bashing America. Calling the United States "immoral", she says she doesn't want to live in a country like this and is ready for jail. The woman, whose son was killed in Iraq, is protesting at Crawford, TX and said the following today:

SHEEHAN: "I don't want to live in a country like this. And this country is immoral, the laws are immoral, the people who enforce the laws are immoral. And, like Henry David Thoreau said, the only place for a moral person to be is in jail. And I'm ready to go to jail."

Sheehan's outrageous comments today came during an interview with moonbat conspiracy radio host, Alex Jones.

It is disgustingly veyouristic, but the media is doing what it always does. Indeed, I would be surprised if they didn't.

[kellynla]

There have been 1833 fatalities to date and the MSM has found one parent our of 3666 who is against the war and hates Bush.

I wish FOX or some other television network would profile a family every night who has lost their son or daughter.
There must be literally THOUSANDS of proud parents out there who would gladly tell their story!

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Absolutely....Let me echo that.

GTFO!!!!!

I'm sorry for the loss of her son, but does that give her the right to all this attention? So who gives a flying fig what this lady thinks of our president or our country? She is a lady who needs some therapy to help get over the death of her son.

"I hate modays."

Modays are the worst, unless of course you're at the end of days and you want modays?

Tell me, oh omniscient Miss Sheehan, what country should we look to as an example of moral behavior? France? Germany? Iraq? North Korea? Mexico, possibly? Luxembourg is certainly a possibility... and don't forget Spain- they've legalized gay unions! And Canada- socialized health care has been a great plus. Don't forget- they honor American deserters up north too.

So when you can show me a truly more upright and morally strong nation, then I'll listen to your ignorant rant.

[MarineBrat]

Looks like she's made the final leap to pure leftism. She is now the highest authority in the universe, as is each leftist unto itself, and now she can proclaim us immoral.

[Taggart_D]

I don't mind the vanity. This is a weird story. It seems to me like a sad situation. Someone in this woman's family needs to comfort her and get her to quietly go home. Her grief has obviously made her irrational.

[tiredoflaundry]

*fyi*

[You Dirty Rats]

I won't bash this unfortunate woman, who is a gold-star mother.

But the media outlets who are using her grief and loss of control to help attack the President and this country -- they are disgusting. Of course, we already knew that!

[Trust but Verify]

So did you make your wife something to eat while she showered?

Kelly, thanks for serving our country.

[deport]

I'll pitch in 50 cents for here bus ticket to Mexico.

Heck let her drive her own bus to Mexico

I hate Tudays myself.

[pabianice]

What a wonderful thing to do: crap on the memory of your own son, who volunteered to serve.

Way to go, honey...

[mykdsmom]

Sheehan also said during another portion of the interview, "You know, um, the terrorists hate us because of our Middle East policies and that's plain and simple. We change our policies to make it more fair for everybody and, um, that's when terrorism is going to stop."

After all that has always worked SO well for us in the past, what a dimbulb DUmmie!

This isn't about her son who died, so nobody take this the wrong way, but I wish that bitch would just shut her freakin' mouth. I'm tired of listening to her.

[brooklyn dave]

Now this is a statement that's in the realm of idiocy. the woman losing a son in Iraq, but statements like that make her look like an ass. Yes, she should have the right to protest and our assssment of the war in Iraq should constantly be updated. (yes, maybe assessment of the war is the wrong term---it's more etherial, is this action still worth it to the U.S. when the Iraqis themselves could be doing a hell of a lot more to prod along democracy.) The best we're going to get is a possibly benign shariah dominated government.

[Recovering Hermit]

I don't want to live in a country like this.

I'm truly sorry that she lost her son, but I really have no sympathy for a$$holes that say stupid stuff like this and continue to live here anyway.

Shut up and get out. Move to the Middle East and see how much better it is over there.

Good luck.

[skr]

So, every U.S. law is immoral? It doesn't take much to spark her irrational flares, does it?

[upchuck]

Poor, poor Ms. Sheehan. Forced to live in a country she hates and thinks is immoral.

But FReepers have good hearts. I'm willing to put $50 towards a first class plane ticket for this poor, abused woman to any destination she'd like outside the US. The only stipulation is that she never come back.

Any other FReepers care to make a donation to this worthy cause?
