FAMILY OF FALLEN SOLDIER PLEADS: PLEASE STOP, CINDY! Thu Aug 11 2005 12:56:21 ET
The family of American soldier Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004, has broken its silence and spoken out against his mother Cindy Sheehan's anti-war vigil against George Bush held outside the president's Crawford, Texas ranch.
The following email was received by the DRUDGE REPORT from Casey's aunt and godmother:
Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish. Thanks Ð Cherie
In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue: Sheehan Family Statement:
The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.
Sincerely,
Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
Developing..
I believe it is more Un-American and even more dangerous to be as clueless as you appear. Do you not understand what is happening here?
Sheehan is exploiting her son's death for personal gain, namely liberal sainthood. She'll probably be on Oprah this fall season. Oprah will get misty eyed. Stern suburban mothers dressed in the season's hottest fashions will all wimper together as Oprah searches the audience for shared feelings of indignation. The show will end with a standing ovation....the "Anti-war Mommy" voter will be born.
FRONT PAGE LA Slimes TODAY, and they wonder why their circulation continues to FALL FALL FALL, they're MORONS.
I certainly have noticed that the MSM is all over this 24/7.
By that do you mean the MSM lib handlers?
LOS ANGELES - JANUARY 6: Mother Cindy Sheehan who's son Army Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan was killed recently in Iraq speaks during "Words and Music in Honor of Fahrenheit 9/11" on January 6, 2005 at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, California.
Trolls seem to be hitting all the Sheehan threads today. Pathetic.
In fact they may have done just that, tried to inform the MSM first but with no effect, just my guess, pathetically speaking.
"She has been put so far into the spotlight that she's about to crack in a tragic way."
Like a train wreck.
You liberals keep trying to find some kind of get out of jail free card for your bull$hit. There is none. cindy praised GWB when she met with him the first time. Now she's found that the media will follow her around with a microphone and camera if she is willing to sell out her sons service and sacrifice on behalf of the left. Sorry. BS is BS. Doesn't matter who's spewing it.
Looks like Mikey Moore in the backround.
Does Cindy have a husband? Where is her son's dad?
I wonder what kinds of comments the trolls at DU were making about her back then.
Wow, I can see why... ;-)
This makes me want to weep.
