Do take note of the bus and her bracelet
What good is it to have laws to protect citizens against terror and have soldiers do their jobs if we have wack jobs like this?
There is the law, then there is what culture, judges and what not want. The US citizen employing the government is thus screwed and must be employed by these pseudocultural thugs with their own government or personal wishes employing us through the government.
Thus goes government anarchy supporting this sedition and not the law for obvious reasons.
Talk about evil. Not this sh!t again is an understatement.
She has already met with the President.
She now says she is not interested in meeting with the President.
It's all about her now. (and the money she can make dishonoring her son)
Having said that, I'm underwhelmed by the small size of the crowd she's drawn. I guess war protesters can't stand the heat, literally. Also, the longer Sheehan is in the limelight, the harder it will be for the MSM to completely ignore her anti-Israel comments--anyone needing proof of the media bias need only look at how this "tiny" detail is omitted from the laudatory articles about her. And they can only cover her so many times without the reader/viewer realizing how unhinged and self-centered she is.
Keep it up Hysteric Left. The more you talk, the more the people come to hate you for the evil scum you are.
Please include BARF ALERT when posting articles of this type. Thank you!
We only get to hear formulated statements and coddling interviews of Cindy Sheehan. Get her on camera live, unedited and let people see for themselves how utterly lost and in need of professional help this woman is.
She wants to meets with President Bush as a political activist - not a grieving mother. Just another reason to despise the MSM for what they are doing to our country and the morale of our troops in this 24-7 coverage of this leftist-orchestrated gathering. Oh, but there are more than 100 people there and she is speaking for the growing number of those discontented with the war, so they say. BS. She is a spokesperson for the left, which includes most of the news media. I hope her 15 minutes of fame are soon over so these talking heads can come up with another topic.

From our archive: Bush, Sheehans share moments
By David Henson/Staff Writer
Since learning in April that their son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, had been killed in Iraq, life has been everything but normal for the Sheehan family of Vacaville.
Casey's parents, Cindy and Patrick, as well as their three children, have attended event after event honoring the soldier both locally and abroad, received countless letters of support and fielded questions from reporters across the country.
"That's the way our whole lives have been since April 4," Patrick said. "It's been surreal."
But none of that prepared the family for the message left on their answering machine last week, inviting them to have a face-to-face meeting with President George W. Bush at Fort Lewis near Seattle.
Surreal soon seemed like an understatement, as the Sheehans - one of 17 families who met Thursday with Bush - were whisked in a matter of days to the Army post and given the VIP treatment from the military. But as their meeting with the president approached, the family was faced with a dilemma as to what to say when faced with Casey's commander-in-chief.
"We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled," Cindy said. "The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached."
The 10 minutes of face time with the president could have given the family a chance to vent their frustrations or ask Bush some of the difficult questions they have been asking themselves, such as whether Casey's sacrifice would make the world a safer place.
But in the end, the family decided against such talk, deferring to how they believed Casey would have wanted them to act. In addition, Pat noted that Bush wasn't stumping for votes or trying to gain a political edge for the upcoming election.
"We have a lot of respect for the office of the president, and I have a new respect for him because he was sincere and he didn't have to take the time to meet with us," Pat said.
Sincerity was something Cindy had hoped to find in the meeting. Shortly after Casey died, Bush sent the family a form letter expressing his condolences, and Cindy said she felt it was an impersonal gesture.
"I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis," Cindy said after their meeting. "I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."
The meeting didn't last long, but in their time with Bush, Cindy spoke about Casey and asked the president to make her son's sacrifice count for something. They also spoke of their faith.
While meeting with Bush, as well as Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, was an honor, it was almost a tangent benefit of the trip. The Sheehans said they enjoyed meeting the other families of fallen soldiers, sharing stories, contact information, grief and support.
For some, grief was still visceral and raw, while for others it had melted into the background of their lives, the pain as common as breathing. Cindy said she saw her reflection in the troubled eyes of each.
"It's hard to lose a son," she said. "But we (all) lost a son in the Iraqi war."
The trip had one benefit that none of the Sheehans expected.
For a moment, life returned to the way it was before Casey died. They laughed, joked and bickered playfully as they briefly toured Seattle.
For the first time in 11 weeks, they felt whole again.
"That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together," Cindy said.

Somebody get this self-centered bi+ch some batteries for her vibrator so she'll go away and leave the sane people alone.
This woman is spitting on the memory of her son's bravery, when instead, she should be honoring his memory, not disrespecting it. I'm sure he's shouting from above for her to stop this idiocy. Rest in peace dear Casey, even if your selfish mother won't let you.
"Bush Lied and people died"
"You're son should come back from the dead,
and put a bullet in your head."
I'd like to know the 'true' backgrounds of these 'veterans for peace.' Sounds like a modern-day version of traitor John's Winter Soldiers; most of whom never even served in the military let alone a combat zone .
