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.
If she is not mentally ill, she should stop playing one on TV.
With her sons death benefit, money from Sorros's and donations from like minded wackjobs.
Well, I cannot and will not go nearly that far. I imagine the death of her son was horribly difficult and filled her with true grief. Having lost a father and a brother I empathize with that greif.
But she was clearly a follower of the far left and she has now, IMHO, turned her grief into a rabid hate for this President (to the point of actually stalking him IMHO) and for the war effort against our enemies. In so doing she is actually providing aid and comfort to the very enemies who killed her son.
So, how is she supporting herself whilst protesting?
I would like to know that too. A couple days ago I posted: "Always follow the money"???
Re-defeat? This woman is a gold mine of nonsensical quotes.
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.
Earth to MSM, Cindy has said she wants the President impeached. Do you really think her re-meeting with the President will do any good? Do you really think your doing her any good getting her hopes up? Don't you think it is time you turn off the cameras and call her family to come and get her?
I'm most of us will manfully be able to resist donating, even if we do click in error / curiosity [nothing wrong with keeping an eye on the enemy!]
But I believe that the American people, when they see that her grief has been turned to abject hate and vitriol (as evidenced by her own comments and quotes), that they will not abide her and dismiss her for the far left, anti-American that she is, just like they dismissed similar feelings in the last election...except fewer and fewer American will be fooled by such screed.
Maybe the MSM should hop on the "Impeachment Tour" bus and do some more coverage of Cindy. You know they would feel right at home with everyone on the bus. It would be kinda like McCain's Straight Talk Express. Only this one could be called the Crackpot Express.
I think that as the first week comes to an end, the interest in her will fade. Nothing new is happening, she hates the president, he will continue to ignore her. It will be a very boring 4 weeks. The only attention she may get is if she moves her circus to the WH.
But don't you sense that the story is already losing its legs? It's a different world than it was even five years ago. The MSM cannot control events with the ease that they once could. The Internet and blogosphere has changed the rules.
Lets just say they could have President Bush impeached. Could the left wing loons say President Cheney? I think they can.
Some of the American people will see her for what she is but how about people from the Middle East? A lot of the media also gives this lady softball questions that tone down just where she is coming from.
What kind of "Gold Star" mother cheers a full-sized effigy of a U.S. soldier being hanged by the neck?
It is losing its legs precisely because of the internet activity IMHO...and will continue to do so.
Veterans For Peace was, and maybe still is, a Communist Party front organization.
Among their many accomplishments:
1992
- VFP Delegation goes to Cuba to meet with veterans of Cuba’s war in Angola

You see, they are not against all wars. In fact, they back any war sponsored by terrorists or Communists.
And this is the group that is behind Cindy Sheehan's noble protest down in Crawford. The media could find all of this out in a matter of five mouse clicks.
They won't because Cindy is carrying their water. She hates Bush almost as much as they do.
