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..
Exactly. She is consumed thinking she is suffers the most of all families (not that she thinks of them) I wish someone would ask her about her family distancing themselves from her.
She has that effect, doesn't she?
I saw that on a thread yesterday. Is it true? I tried googleing him and came up empty handed.
Mr Eugene Bird speaks to the gathering in Crawford about the historic injustice issues contributing to the ongoing struggle by Palestinians against increasingly aggressive Israeli policies.
Do the Dummies EVER tire of their incessand anti-semitism? (Check out the "Cindy!" site for an explanation.)
Imagine getting one and demanding a SECOND.
Nice picture, but I didn't know George Romero did a gay version of "Night of the Living Dead". Was it called "Night of the Fabulous Dead" or something?
I have a feeling she's a Kwanzaa type, and celebrates "Community Day" or something. (May Day, though, she's there.)
Doesn't that last photo make him look so "Teacher, you forgot to give us homework for the weekend" prissy?
They keep mentioning his age, like he's achieved so very much in such a short time. What exactly has he achieved--since he's started, the congress has gotten even more Republican.
I guess this is the new Young Democratic Party--failing even earlier in life than their parents?
She must be a huge Mikey Moore fan. He actually got an interview with Roger Smith but didn't use it in Roger & Me because it would have ruined the "idea" that he never gets one.
If this is true the left is not only exploiting a grieving mother but a genuinely mentally ill woman as well.

The Peaceful Occupation of Iraq Day 6

Thu Aug 11th, 2005 at 23:16:01 PDT
Day 6 of the Peaceful Occupation of Iraq began early this morning when people in cars drove by our camp a few times and blasted on their horns. I just assume they were blaring their approval of us.
Before we get to the less than negative things that are happening out at Camp Casey and in the world at large today, over 700 people showed up at the Camp today. There were more people, flowers, cards, mail, interviews, laughter, heartache, comraderie, excitement, and just sheer work.
We had the first birthday party tonight at our little event. Alicia from Austin turned 17 today and they came to Crawford to celebrate with a cake. Alicia said that she wanted to be out here for her birthday. So many great people from so many parts of the country and our world are here.
CindySheehan's diary :: ::
Today is kind of a blur to me. From running around from interview to interview, to getting a visit from Viggo Mortensen, today was a whirlwind of activity. I have discovered that the White House press corps is always looking for something to do and someone to cover. We have been happy to oblige them. We had a press conference today with Gold Star Families for Peace and Military Families Speak Out members. It was very effective when people who actually have skin in the game ask the president to be held accountable for the words he has actually said.
Still putting out the O'Reilly fires of me being a traitor and using Casey's name dishonorably, my in-laws sent out a press conference disagreeing with me in strong terms; which is totally okay with me, because they barely knew Casey. We have always been on separate sides of the fence politically and I have not spoken to them since the elections when they supported the man who is responsible for Casey's death. The thing that matters to me is that my family: Casey's dad and my other 3 kids are on the same side of the fence that I am.
Since Congress is not holding George Bush accountable and the media is not doing their jobs and holding George Bush accountable, we the American people need to hold him accountable for lying to us to get us into a disastrous war. November 2 2004 was not his accountability moment: today is. We are finished allowing him to get away with deceiving the American public and abusing his power.
We are mad as hell and we're not taking it anymore.
"The world of a BP(a person with Borderline Personality), like that of a child, is split into heroes and villains. A child emotionally, the BP cannot tolerate human inconsistencies and ambiguities; he cannot reconcile anther is good and bad qualities into a constant coherent understanding of another person. At any particular moment, one is either Good or EVIL. There is no in-between; no gray area....people are idolized one day; totally devalued and dismissed the next. Normal people are ambivalent and can experience two contradictory states atone time; BPs shift back and forth, entirely unaware of one feeling state while in the other."

"Lack of Object Constancy: When we're lonely, most of us can soothe ourselves by remembering the love that others have for us. This is very comforting even if these people are far away-sometimes, even if they're no longer living. This ability is known as object constancy. Some people with BPD, however, find it difficult to evoke an image of a loved one to soothe them when they feel upset or anxious. If that person is not physically present, they don't exist on an emotional level."

"Narcissistic Demands: Some people with BPD frequently bring the focus of attention back to themselves. They may react to most things based solely on how it affects them."
