Cindy Sheehan's Crowd
New York Sun ^ | 8-11-05

Posted on 08/11/2005 7:29:35 AM PDT by SJackson

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.

For the record, I missed this troll's screed bcause I was on TDY dealing with armored HMMWVs. Somehow, I think this qualifies me to call Bravo Sierra on this poster's assumption that Freepers aren't qualified to make miltary statements.

I hope you enjoyed your ZOT, "lindal_cossey".

Sorry bubba, your line just ain't working. Take it somewhere else. And as for your "retired solider" talk - bubba, where in the heck do you think you are? There's is more active, semi-active and retired military on this board than the VFW in Fayetteville. So put your story where the sun don't shine. we all know better. And so shoud you.

My prediction: Sheehan will run for some sort of office within the next year. She's getting hooked on the spotlight.

My prediction: The Cindy Sheehan Story will be made into a movie within five years and one day a mentally ill woman claiming to be Cindy Sheehan will turn up at a homeless shelter in California.

I see the usual suspects like Code Pinko Stinko are at it again. We need to follow the Brit example and start cracking down on those who are plotting the downfall of this country.
