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.

Great letter.
Thank you.

I guess my $.02 is that there are always lunatics like this woman and whoever is behind her. The additional disgrace is the media coverage that she is getting. If she camped out in the same place spewing nonsense about how the little green men have landed and Bush was ignoring the threat she wouldn't even make it on the Art Bell show. But since the media likes what she whas to say, she is getting wall to wall coverage. The real enemy is the media who has given her the spotlight.
Agree with your letter, however.
Her anger is going to destroy her.
Should be said to her face.. you know, a little compassion for her situation..
Those in the media and various organizations all over the liberal left are revealing themselves for what they are (as if though they hadn;t already done so) in this situation by how they are using this woman. The real shame is that she is willfully, without being "fooled" IMHO, going about it with them with a will.
Signed.
AMEN! Glad to see someone gets it.
I wish more of these sentiments were able to get out in the press...but they are getting out just the same via the internet and talk radio...to millions and millions and it scares the MSM terribly, as well it should.
AMEN!!!
FR has corrected my typos here on this thread as well by using the source where I had already corrected them. Thanks so much Admin Mod, and thanks to those who pointed them out to me.
"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,' Sheehan wrote of her in-laws. "The thing that matters to me is that my family: Casey's dad and my other three kids are on the same side of the fence that I am.'
She said this in response to the grand-parents, aunts and uncles and cousins who said this...
"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 expense of her son's good name and reputation,' read the e-mail signed by Casey's aunt Cherie Quartarolo on behalf of his paternal grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. The Sheehan family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving,' the e-mail stated. "The rest of the Sheehan family supports the troops, our country and our president, silently, with prayer and respect."
What a shame that this woman is pushing this to this point.
