Crawford, Texas (AHN) - Pressure mounted against anti-war protester and mother of fallen Army Spc. Casey Sheehan Friday from millions of bloggers as well as cable news and talk radio outlets began to rip her intentions as well as her motivations to shreds.
Ms. Sheehan is camping out on the road that leads to President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch for the entire month of August where Bush makes an annual visit. The President continues his day-to-day business with daily briefings, trips to sign bills around the nation, and meets with organizations across the country while returning to the ranch by the afternoon.
The President's motorcade has passed Ms. Sheehan numerous times without stopping to address her or her fellow anti-war protesters who claim they want to ask the president questions about "why he lied to them about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and an Al-Qaeda link to the country," which reportedly never existed.
But as the week went on, numerous stories began to emerge about Ms. Sheehan and her ties to radical left-wing anti-war groups as well as inaccurate versions of her first meeting with President Bush at Fort Lewis in Washington. An unearthed article documented in the Vacaville Reporter News contradicted the current story Sheehan has been playing in front of dozens of reporters and media outlets across the world.
Now Ms. Sheehan finds herself in an even deeper credibility issues as bloggers from various websites including Free Republic.com and military forums on the Internet discovered images during a google search of the first meeting of Bush and Sheehan where the President is giving Sheehan a consoling kiss on her cheek in a group family photo.
Ms. Sheehan made no official comment about the discovery of the photo's on Friday but claims that she will move her protest to the sidewalks in front of the White House where the President is scheduled to return after Labor Day weekend.
Good work, researching Freepers!!
It aint going to work. That dog dont hunt.
It is, as I have said, perhaps the most disgusting and despicable display I have ever seen as she literally walks on the last full measure of devotion of her patriotic son.
So, how is she supporting herself whilst protesting?
NRO The Corner rightly points out that last August's bit of political theater was Max Cleland camping out in Crawford. This will be an annual thing now. Blech.
Most likely, you and I are supporting her.
Her son's life insurance payout.
I do know that what she is using her dead sons picture and service to support is four square against everything he fought for...and died for.
"NRO The Corner rightly points out that last August's bit of political theater was Max Cleland camping out in Crawford. This will be an annual thing now."
I've mentioned this several times. Lest we forget, Cleland was down there with a letter from Bill Burkett, threatening to blow his TANG memo if Bush didn't call off the Swift Boat Vets.
"The President continues his day-to-day business with daily briefings, trips to sign bills around the nation, and meets with organizations across the country while returning to the ranch by the afternoon. "
On another note, KUDOS to this journalist for actually stating Pres. Bush is working.

You think they'd have learned after throwing away $600 million in the 2004 election.
He shouldn't respond to a question based on false assumptions like that.
Before anyone else says it: Free Republic is not a blog!
Why wouldn't the lefty statists do this... isn't this the very tactic MADD used to get the BAC levels down to where you can get a DUI for gargling Lavoris?
What a racket.
