It's easy to see why Cindy Sheehan, the 48-year-old mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, has become the new face of the anti-war movement, featured in a New York Times editorial on Tuesday and a Maureen Dowd column yesterday morning. Camped out in Crawford, Texas, near President Bush's ranch, she's a more sympathetic face than a lot of the alternatives. But as sad as Ms. Sheehan's loss is - and we don't belittle it - she has put herself in league with some extreme groups and individuals.
For starters, Ms. Sheehan has been posting on Michael Moore's Web site, writing, "We have such a strong coalition of groups. GSFP, Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out and the Crawford Peace House. I talked with John Conyers today and he wrote a letter to George signed by about 18 other Congress members to request that he meet with me. I also talked to Maxine Waters tonight and she is probably going to be here tomorrow."
It turns out that the Crawford Peace House Web site includes a photo depicting the entire state of Israel as "Palestine," and it carries a link to a report that when Prime Minister Sharon visited Crawford, the "peace house" greeted him with an "800-foot-long banner containing all of the United Nations resolutions that Israel is in violation of." The Crawford Peace House site also features a photo of Eugene Bird, who has suggested that Israeli intelligence was responsible for the abuses at Abu Ghraib.

Let 'er rip, but keep it within forum sensibilities.
(We got yelled at yesterday..*oops*)
Sheehan's tactic is to emotionaly blackmail America... it never works!
Cindy Sheehan is is a travesty and ought to be locked quietly away, like Dudley Pelley; or shut up and given a job to do like Lindbergh.
I have served in the military and my parents suffered in silence while I did my duty and I love them very much for it.
Why do you think your banal comments merit any consideration? Send them to Judy Miller, the NY Times reporter believed Saddam had WMD, and who is now jailed for contempt of court because of the Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame brouhaha.
Her son went to Iraq to get away from her. I can't wait until she really gets going - Theresa Heinz (kerry) all over again.
Muahahahahahahahah.......... The Left's Great Hope will be its own undoing, you'll see. Just yesterday I read that she as much as claimed the US got what it deserved on 9/11. What a selfish piece of female anatomy.
Cindy is being used by the pro terrorist, pro Palestinian, pro tin pot dictator loving left.
she isn't being used .. she volunteered
Her act is already getting stale...
She volunteered, but she's being fed a line of BS that departs pretty dramatically from her earlier war protest comments. Now we're into pro-Palestinian, neocon territory.
And she doesn't strike me as smart enough to have thought about that stuff all on her own. I think she's being fed her newer lines.
Wasn't my point.
The troll was saying that none of us have served.
Well, we have.
Did you see the reply to link in post 30 to allow smackage of the troll?
That's what Darksheare and I were saying.
I agree. As I mentioned on another thread, my grandmother lost a son (my uncle, who I never met) in WWII, and she never took up with the enemy because of it. This woman chose to do what she did. I have no sympathy for her at all--she nullified any sympathy I'd normally have for a lost son or daughter when she joined with this country's enemies.
Peach, if she's being fed, she's sure gobbling it up as if it were a mountain of twinkies. And licking her chops when she's done with each helping.
Blast! The Ozone God got here first.
Post 30 has the reply to link.
;-)
The troll had already been zotted by the timme I got here. I'm sure that she was spouting the usual leftist drivel.
Reply to linmk should be available and still working at post 30.
Oh, it was quite the same rehash of the same old DNC talking points.
