Anti-war activists hope Cindy Sheehan's status as a grieving parent will protect her from criticism.
When you bring that grief into the public sphere, people will comment on it.

This lunatic is the best thing that happened to the Pro-War side of the argument.
I hope she keeps it up, and I hope Michael Moron keeps posing with her in pics.

Enough is enough. Having suffered a loss is tragic, but it is not an unlimited license to go out and be a pest. Mrs Sheenan, and her sing-songy 12-year old girl voice, need to just get lost.
She can be an anti war activist, do the college speaking circut, start clubs, whatever - but her mdia hogging and antics are getting stranger by the day. It's time for her to get a grip, and she won't be able to do that surrounded by her new friends.
A shame.

I previously saw her as a grieving mother, but no more. She is first and foremost an anti-war activist. She is free to say whatever she wants, but she should not shroud it under the guise of a grieving mother.

Could it be because NBC is owned by General Electric, a major defense contractor?"Holy crap, Batman... How far can you go to cook up a conspiracy? One has to really drift pretty far of the posted trail to concoct a theory that the MSM is squashing a story to PROTECT the Republican warmongers.

Where is the husband? Is he alive? Why doesn't he want to live with Cindy anymore if he is (obvious question)? I don't know where her husband is. Last I heard was that they are separated. But it looks like Cindy has found someone else to meet some of her needs.

RE: Cindy's husband
I heard he was divorcing her over this very issue -- her protests.

Do you have the same sympathy for the "Jersey girls"? They lost a family member, too.

Not me. This bitch is exploiting her son's death.I'm starting to disagree with this sentiment. I think this woman is genuinely distraught with grief over the loss of her son, to the point of being mentally and emotionally destroyed.
Genuinely distraught or not, she is still exploiting her son's death. Perhaps people here may justify her feelings, but the leftist media has ensured that it is her actions that count now. By her actions, she is making her son's military brothers' (and sisters') lives that much complex, and making this nation that much more ineffective in dealing with the assholes of the planet.
I feel sorry for her, but if she's not certifiable, then she's culpable.
To: vetvetdoug
It's been reported on FR (numerous sources) that her husband left her over her actions since Casey's death.

Then we know where, God Bless him, her son Casey got his integrity and love of country.

Certainly I think that she was Liberal and anti-war long before her son was killed. But from the looks and sounds of her, she seems brainwashed (imho). And the bigger issue is what the anti-war groups have been putting into her head and prompting her to do.

To the left she now is a useful idiot, they'll drop her when she becomes a useless idiot.
To: summer
Cindy Sheehan is rapidly moving from grieving mother of a fallen soldier to lunatic-fringe whiner who is using her dead soldier-son as a prop to get publicity for the anti-war views of the radical left that she has apparently adopted in full. These same people Cindy Sheehan now embraces would have gladly spit on her son had he returned home, alive, from Iraq. Too bad Cindy doesn't seem to realize that.
I believe Cindy Sheehan's grief is real and is driving her increasingly hysterical behavior but I also believe Sheehan is wrongly using her dead son and the usual respect that we all extend to a fallen soldiers mother to manipulate the public and keep a megaphone in place (the anti-war media) for her misdirected hate toward President Bush, while the Bush-haters and anti-war zealots pave the way for her to do so.....until the media gets bored with her act and...dare I say it? Moves on.

Know what? I don't care if her grief is real. Lots of people grieve over lost loved ones, especially in time of war. Our hearts go out to them. But when you take your grief and try to use it as a tool to achieve partisan political ends, you completely and totally lose my sympathy.
