I apparently am the sacrificial lamb of the peace movement. I don't care about myself. Putting myself in the forefront and daring to challenge the president on his lies left myself open to the attacks. Which are, of course, half truths and distortions.
CindySheehan's diary :: ::
When they start sliming my home life and my family, that's where I draw the line. Yes, my husband has filed for divorce and yes he filed before I left for the VFP Convention and this trip to Crawford and yes IT IS BETWEEN MY HUSBAND AND I.
Having Casey murdered in Iraq by George Bush's reckless policies has been hard enough on my family, but me setting off on my holy war to bring the troops home, my constant absences, and all of the media attention has put additional stresses on my family.
I chose my path after Casey died. The rest of the family has chosen theirs. We all still love each other and support each other in anything that we do. We didn't want Casey to join the Army, but once he made that decision, we supported him and even encouraged him through boot camp.
We are a normal American family who have had good times, bad times, and terrible times. We hope the good times will come back. We hope that we will be able to laugh with abandon together like we used to one day. We hope that the troops come home and no other families have to go through what we are going through.
It isn't about politics for us. No one asked Casey what political affiliation he was before they sent him off to die in Iraq and no one asked us who we voted for in 2000 before we were handed a folded flag from Casey's flag-draped coffin.
I am not perfect and I never even claimed to be perfect. My family isn't perfect, but we are pretty special...especially the children. We all miss Casey so much and it is George Bush and his neocon cabal who is at fault. The people who are dragging my family through the mud need to grow up and look at themselves. The Christ said: "He who is without sin, cast the first stone."
If everyone followed Jesus's advice, the world would be a much better place.
Well okay but how long can someone allow themselves to be played like this?
and if she won't do that, the justice dept needs to dust off any sedition laws that are still valid and throw Ms. Sheehan's sorry butt in jail for a while.
I sympathize for the loss of her son, but this woman is shedding crocodile tears to further her politics.
How did she type this with the rocks in her hands?
Yes you are. Your "friends" in the "peace movement" have indeed sacrificed you, your marriage, your children, and Casey's honor. All to get to Bush. Pathetic.
I was going to point that grammatical error out, but you did it better.
Word.

Or....?
"IT IS BETWEEN MY HUSBAND AND I."
When was the last time I heard ethics preached this way -- ah yes, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman..."
Re your post #31. Yes, it has a source. It is currently posted on Daily Kos, with a date of Aug 15. 2005.
Sheehan is nothing but an anti-Semitic boob who isn't smart enough to realize she is nothing but a tool for the pro-Arab, communist-front organizations who hate America and will do anything to help destroy it. When her usefulness to them has run its course, and we're almost there, she will be discarded. She deserves every ounce of slime that comes her way.
I think everybody here has respected the rest of the family.
The talk about the husband was "What took so long."
It appears she is the only "Nut Case" in the family.
Thanks, a link would be nice.
Don't count on this old gal going nowhere.
She is way to caught up in her self importance to the antiwar, support the insurgency groups, paying for hysterical camp out.
I did have sympathy as I do for any one who loses a child.
I don't know about how anyone else would react but it would absolutely kill a big part of me to lose a child.
However, what this woman is doing demeans not only the military but the good name of her brave son.
She's using her SON's death to make a political statement but we are supposed to leave her FAMILY out of it ????
Is that calling the kettle black or what.
...and THAT, grammatically, is what we call a "hendiadys." Except in this case, it's more of a "hendiatetra."
Bums come in both genders....
Hey bum....practice what you preach!!
Hello Cindy....Doesn't this apply to you too!
Both!
