It links over to Newsday so here is an excerpt:
CRAWFORD, Texas For more than a year, a modest bungalow known as "Peace House," located a few miles from President Bush's ranch, has served as a headquarters for antiwar activists. It is lonely work, with little more than a skeleton crew on hand much of the time.
But then Cindy Sheehan hit town.
The 48-year-old mother of Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed in an ambush in Baghdad last year, is consumed by the kind of grief that turns into a furious determination to do something in her case, to confront the president and force him to explain why her son died.
Now, in the space of just a few days, what started out as a seemingly quixotic personal mission has become something of a phenomenon with media swarming around Sheehan, leading liberal and antiwar activists parachuting in to try to make her their long-sought voice, and political experts in both parties working to assess what role she may have in galvanizing the public's gathering unhappiness with the increasing American casualties in Iraq.
Antiwar leaders hope that putting the spotlight on Sheehan will motivate Americans who oppose the war, creating a political force strong enough to compel the Bush administration to change course.

Yikes! LOL All the DUers and Peaceniks are on this thread! Anyone have some bug spray? LOL
And then these seditious fools sit there and deny that the divisiveness they sow showing our enemies a disunited and fractured home front gets noticed in these countries and particularly by our enemies. They probably love what these leftist slime do in tearing us apart and refusing to stand by their nation and their president during a time of war and national danger, their doubts notwithstanding.
I'm sorry, but the time to oppose war is BEFORE the troops are in harm's way. GOOD AMERICANS as opposed to treasonous swine pull together when the nation goes to war. I always supported Bill Clinton's military misadventures even despite my doubts. I may have opposed them and questioned the motives behind them BEFORE the military action began, but once underway it was time to pull together and get the job done.
These un-American creeps just don't get that. And in so doing they are handing a tremendous victory to our terrorist enemies showing them that they've managed to pull us apart as a nation, doing more harm to our country than flying planes into buildings EVER could have done. And that encourages them to keep going, to keep trying to rack up US body counts.
But these idiots think you can support the troops and not the mission. Give me a break. Everything you're doing and saying undermines and harms the troops, encouraging our enemies to kill ever more of them to keep us divided here at home.
Yawn. If you appease the crocodile, it just means you'll be eaten last. Unless you're already wearing a burka, you'll know what I mean.
Please enumerate these for me. I'd like to know if you're a moonbat or a bircher-Buchananite.
Great, so now more kids are going to die because the terrorists have a helpful idiot raising a ruckus in the US. So they'll just hold out longer, fight harder because they sense hope on the horizon. She's a hooker.
"America is waking up!!!!!!"
Yes.
And the last three elections showed that.
You and your politics have been rejected.
DUers must be bored today.
Why do you have doubts? I'm not trying to attack you, just curious.
r u in the wrong spot?
"glimpse into..."
PRICELESS. Best joke of the day my friend!
Flyer handed out at event Cindy Sheehan attended...
When school starts they will be back in public school...
We can hope.
My first doubt is raised by the fact that no names appear on the letter so there is no way to check if these people exist, and if they do if they really wrote and/or signed onto the letter.
I hope she's keeping a scrapbook.
Then she can sit back in her old age and revel in her activism.
