I have a son who is leaning toward a military career (I told him college first)...he is interested in all things military (his dad is an ex Combat Engineer Platoon Sgt)..
his dad and I have told him we would fully support this but that he must realize that he may have to give his life for this country .....he understands the meaning of this.

Further down in the article: ***...Sheehan herself put it best. Speaking with Air America recently, she noted, "Why is my meeting in June of 2004 relevant? Over 1,100 more soldiers are dead since then, the Downing Street memo report [has come] out, the Senate intelligence report has come out, and the 9/11 Commission report has come out. Saddam is gone, they've had free democratic elections in Iraq, and our troops are still there." ...***

She lasted less than two minutes on Bruce Jacobs in the Morning here on KFYI.

Who is Eric Boehlert, and where did he get such an inane view of Ms. Sheehan's activities? How reasonable is it to request a private audience with the President of the United States, so that she can blast his policies?

PaulaB, you and your family are Great Americans. Just make sure your son finishes College if it within your means!

I will say Cindy Sheehan could use some Crest White Stips.

O'Reilly brought this up last night. Apparently she will be on his show tonight.

No she won’t.

He might actually ask her gently probing questions about her two wildly different accounts of her meeting with Bush.

She can’t handle even the lukewarm heat O’Reilly would throw at her.

She’ll only appear on shows where the interviewer will be strictly fawning and sycophantic. Like 99% of the mainstream media.

This woman is a gibbering lunatic. Her son was a Boy Scout, Eagle Scout. Apparently quite religious. He volunteered for the mililtary and was apparently happy even eager to go to Iraq (from other family members' accounts.)

This woman has been rejected by her husband and probably the rest of her family--probably even her son before he died.

She sees his death as a ticket to celebrity-dom. She is a) sick b) disgusting.

Why should the President give this woman ANOTHER meeting with her if she has already exposed her bad faith in requesting it?

Maybe people handle grief differently, but I know when I was in shock over my dad's death I was more likely to say mean things or run off at the mouth a bit than to overly praise most people.

what they perceive as a flip-flop...may or may not have shifted her opinion

Gimmee a break -- you can legitimately question all kinds of things about the story, but how is this even a question? That's one thing we know for sure.

Come out and talk to me about Iraq and why my son died

Actually, the reporter deliberately misrepresents it. It's more like "Tell me why you killed my son."

Cindy's having a hard time being angry at her son for dying, so she is redirecting her anger. That she is pissing on her son's grave in the process hasn't dawned on her yet.

If her brave soldier son were still here, he would be sooo ashamed of his mother ...

It looks that way, doesn't it?

"Who is Eric Boehlert?"

When he isn't naval gazing for that powerhouse media organ, Salon, he can be found holding forth at such places as Alternet and Think Peace.

He is a nobody dweeb, who like Cindy is trying to cash in on the death of a brave soldier for a little attention.

If she hasn't yet, she'll be on Oprah.

I thought she was from Vacaville, which is closer to Davis.
