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.
Glad you can reproduce it without the link!
I was wondering this last night. Doesn't this woman have a life? Isn't she employed? Doesn't she have a mortgage and car payments?
Is she doing this while being supported by the life insurance left by her son?
Thanks for catching it. The last thing I want to do is help these traitorous creeps.

But I'm sure she gets money from every hate-America group in the world. She's their champion dujour, now that Bill Burkett and Joe Wilson have been exposed.
She is supplying America's enemies with ammunition..........if you can't support the troops, at least follow the hippocratic oath and first..."do no damage".
Oh great, now she is blaming George Bush because she is too sorry to go find a freaking job. As if people didn't become unemployed under any other president. The fact that she CHOOSES to not look for work just makes her sorry. I HOPE that she is claiming unemployement so they can charge her a** for not looking for work as is required.
"Came across to me as taunting."
This is her act. She learned from the best. She's been involved in every anti-war protest held, since last spring.
Check out her and Nick Berg's dad at this travesty in DC:

Again, she has the money to take her daughters along for the ride.
Somebody is paying for all of this. And it isn't her insurance company.
" Gee could this have something to do with the planned September 24, 2005 "impeach Bush. rally planned by Impeachbush.org?"
Cindy glommed onto the Veterans For Peace plans for a rally in September. You can see it all unfold here:

They are the great crowd of 40 (ex-hippies) who showed up with her. It was their bus.
Note that they are also a 501c3.
It is becoming more and more clear as time goes on. And they think she is unassailable because of her "grieving" status, which I do have sympathy for.
But when she crosses a line and uses that to drag her patriotic son's memory and clear last full measure of devotion through the mud...I cannot, I will not be silent and cowed by the stauts she is abusing and wresting.
Moving to the Whitehouse huh? Let's all watch the media flock to this woman while the issue of a cover-up with the 9/11 commission is covered up. Our media's blind eye to intelligence failures thanks to the Clinton administration is never examined as a reason for Casey Sheehan's death. Highlighting a woman who sympathized with the very groups who killed her son without examining why is immoral and repugnant.
Soldiers and volunteer contractors might now want to consider adding a new element to their wills: "If any of my family or friends uses the fact or circumstances of my death in a manner that furthers anti-American propaganda, please issue the following public statement: "I am a proud American Citizen and have voluntarily chosen to risk my life to suppport my country, which I love. Anyone who says otherwise is dishonoring my memory"."
I no longer give her a free pass.
We know nothing of her relationship with her son or if she even had one. She may have written him off and sees this as her chance to "undo" her son's decision to re-enlist in the military and her sons decision to volunteer for that fateful last mission.
She is a willing plant. She knows EXACTLY what she is doing and what she can get away with. It is an old commie trick of using YOUR sympathy to have you hang yourself.
How about a commercial with those who served with her son?
How about a commercial with family members who think Sheehan is NUTS?
Beyond the pale.
Da woman is going down in flames!
(Internet humor intended.)
"Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel."
"My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel."
"Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11."
"[M]y first born was killed violently for a neo-con agenda that only benefits a very chosen few in this world."
"You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism."

"We began the killing as soon as we stepped foot on these shores and the killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years.""There has always been excuses for wars, but NONE of them have been good or valid."
“George Bush and his neo-conservatives killed my son.”
“America has been killing people on this continent since it was started."
"This country is not worth dying for.”
“The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush.”
“9/11 was Pearl Harbor for the neo-conservatives’ agenda.”
"The U.S. government a “morally repugnant system.”

"Our country has been overtaken by murderous thugs...gangsters who lust after fortunes and power; never caring that their addictions are at the expense of our loved ones, and the blood of innocent people near and far."
"We've watched these thugs parade themselves before the whole world as if they are courageous advocates for Christian moral values...and for the spread of democracy."
"[T]he US government is now ruled by murderous hypocrites...criminals who should be arrested, charged appropriately, confined behind bars.""In their secret hiding places, while celebrating newly won fortunes with their fellow brass, these men must surely congratulate themselves with orgies of carnal pleasure as they mock the dwindling multitudes who are yet so blind as to mistake them for God's devoted servants."
