Regarding your protest outside of Crawford, Texas, and your many statements regarding the death of your son, Casey, and against the war in Iraq, where your son was fighting for his country and died in that war, I have this to say to you.
Yours is the most despicable, shameless, disgusting spectacle I have ever seen from any mother. Do you not care that you are shaming and sullying the memory of your brave, patriotic son? After reading about your "protest" and your long history against the war in Iraq and this President, it is clear to me, and, I believe, to any other objective, reasoned individual, that you are clearly doing this to your son's memory for you own purely anti-American political purposes and for your own stage.
Casey volunteered, Ms. Sheehan, and according to other members of the family, knew exactly what he was about in his service to his nation. My guess is that, because of your activities, there must have been some fairly significant disagreement between the two of you regarding the same.
Now you are using his loyal service and HIS DEATH...to promote causes which he showed by his own service and sacrifice that he stood four square against, and was willing to die fighting against.
How utterly disgusting, and how disrespectful to Casey's memory and all he stood for, how terribly selfish of you.
It is really Casey whom you are fighting Ms Sheenan, isn't it? It is the statement he made with his service and with his life, and his willingness, all of your protests and carryings on notwithstanding, to fight for his nation against enemies he clearly saw, that you are really railing against.
How pathetic of you. Shame on you...how could you?
You are apparently so self-indulgent that you do not care the spectacle you are making of your own son's death, or the disservice or disrespect you do to his memory, to his wishes and goals and to his service to all of us...including yourself.
Please, for Casey's sake, and his memory...for all he believed in...ask his forgiveness and step back from this sorry, awful spectacle you are making.
I pray, and am absolutely sure that God will rest his soul...and I pray that He will have mercy on yours.

"Good lord, that is disgusting."
For those who haven't read the entire article, she was referring to her memories of him as a toddler who would clasp her legs from behind and kiss her butt. If my son had done that, you can believe I would have sidled out and knelt to hug him appropriately.
But back to the point, I think it reveals a great deal about her struggle to control his thoughts and her rage that he disagreed with her about the war. Thank God. May he rest in peace, his job well and faithfully done.
OKAY, now, that is a great idea!
Let's do exactly that. Let's find all the pics and honorable words about Casey Sheehan that we can and show how a real hero should be treated. I know there are other freepers out there who are better at this stuff than me. Someone start a thread with those fabulous graphics and we can keep bumping it to the top and keep Casey's memory alive.
How about it, freepers?
The letter should be printed on the front page of every paper in America....but that won't happen, and Sheehan won't see or read it. She doesn't care what most Americans think because she is a pawn of the liberal socialist leftest Moore, Soros, Dean, Kennedy, Clintons, Leahy...types who run the DNC. This is THEIR show, and the more the MSM covers it, the better for the far left. Ms. Sheehan is a scapegoat and will be remembered as the treasonous deranged political hack. Her purpose is to show President Bush as uncaring and insensitive. Americans know this is not true. Her purpose is to stop this war???? Americans know we would be fighting in the streets if we hadn't taken 9/11 to Iraq. There is no reason to her very loud voice. Too many families who have lost sons and daughters are now speaking up, and they see this woman's purpose as Hate America First liberal garbage.
i don't think her 'handlers' will let her see this
they have her brainwashed
I found myself totally lost in agreement with your every word. Nice letter. This should be published in newspapers and read to radio audiences, everywhere. And it should be placed in that horror of a mother's hands, ASAP.
I emailed it to Sheehan's camp site...but got no rep[y. Though I know a lot of libs read it because for 2 or 3 days I got tons of the most vile and profane hate mail you could imagine.
