Anti-War Mother Faces Credibility Issues (Free Republic Mentioned)

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.

Soon enough she will "move" her protest to mental health facility, once her neurosis metastasizes in to schizophrenia.

"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."

Fine. Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, human rights--that's what we're defending.

I've really had it with the media circus characterizing her as "grieving" and "protesting" the President - to me she's not doing either and is just taunting the man. No "protesting" or "grieving" to it. Just taunting, day in and day out.

Should you be posting a link for donations to those traitors?

That's not quite accurate. Cindy usually works in the DNC talking points of the day.

Around the election, she hated Bush because he used Diebold voting machines to steal the election, so that he could go on killing children and making himself rich.

I'm not kidding.

No. That's why I didn't.

She was probably a Sore-Loserman in 2000, too.

Suspect she's in the payroll of either Michael Moore's or Moveon.org's.

At least the links don't work for me. I tested before and after I posted.

Do they for you? If they do, I will ask the mods to remove it.

But believe me, this is just one of about a bazillion links she has up all over the internet asking for donations.

Not that she needs them. Soros is funding her.

Mrs. Sheenan is the focus of the press and they and she and her Code Pink, MoveON.org , and Michael Moore friends think they have found an unassailable individual because they are using her status as a grieving mother. Well, here's what the "grieving" mother has to say about her own son's voluntary sacrifice and last full measure of devition:
One of the questions I was going to be asked was: Do I think my son's sacrifice was "worth it?" In answer to the original question Larry: No it wasn't worth it!!

Apparently, she and her son disagreed.

Here are some of her other comments:

This war was sold to the American people by a slimy leadership with a maniacal zeal and phony sincerity that would have impressed snake oil salesmen a century ago.

The 56,000,000 plus citizens who voted against you and your agenda have given me a mandate to move forward with my agenda. Also, thanks to you and your careless domestic policies, I am unemployed, so this will be my full-time job. Being your political downfall will be the most noble accomplishment of my life and it will bring justice for my son and 1125 (so far) other brave Americans and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis your lies have killed. By the way, George, how many more innocent Iraqis are your policies going to kill before you convince them that you are better than Saddam? How many more of their cities are you going to level before you consider that they are liberated?

George, I must confess that I and my family worked very HARD to re-defeat you this time, but you refuse to stay defeated. Well, we are watching you very carefully. We are going to do everything in our power to have you impeached for misleading the American people into a disastrous war and for mis-using and abusing your power as Commander-in-Chief. We are going to scream until our last breath to bring the rest of our babies home from this quagmire of a war that you have gotten our country in to
At some point...it stopped being grief and it became hate. When the American people see and hear this venom...they will no longer abide Mrs. Sheehan.

Damn. Well, I've already asked the mods to remove it. Here it is again, without any links:

"All donations to Gold Star Families for Peace will be used to assist families who have been impacted by the war.

Donate to Gold Star Families for Peace
GSFP is a 501C3 non-profit organization


*Credit Card donations accepted through PayPal*

Note that this bogus group (which is comprised of three lunatics in the pocket of George Soros) are taxpayer supported.

"She is doing it on her son's insurance money."

That is her story. She's has been doing this fulltime all over the country--often with her daughters in tow--since last spring.

That money, if it was ever used, ran out long ago.
