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.

 they are not against all wars. In fact, they back any war sponsored by terrorists or Communists
 
LOL You bet - it's the Communist Way!!
 
Jim Long, head ratnik for the both Veterans Speakers Alliance and Veterans For Peace, has been proud and public with the claim that every November 11 he heads over to Cuba to hang out with communist veterans and take part in some sort of ceremony. Yet another recepient of George Soros money at work. And Cindy S. is hanging with that pack of goons - holey mackeral.

Yes, that's the sad reality about it. Persuing the path that she has chosen carries a price I think she can ill afford.

Doesn't this woman have a life?

She and her husband are separated.

Cindy Sheehan has done a complete turnaround from her previous position after getting involved with radical, anti-Bush political activities. In an interview with an apparent leftist named "DarkSyde" (August 1, 2005 on UTI), Cindy Sheehan noted that "[m]y husband and I are separated, because he doesn't support my activities..."

And west coast Freepers had reported a couple days ago that that a local station said she's estranged from her remaining 3 children.

"Ms. Sheehan...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."

When will this mutate from protesting into stalking?
