This article is meant to be sympathetic to Sheehan, but read between the lines and you will find a self-centered, seriously disturbed woman. Follow the link and read to the end. The last paragraph is chilling.

It should start "until he see her AGAIN"

As media creations go, this lady is pathetic.

She speaks in a high, almost childlike voice.

If she were pro-WOT they'd characterize her as sounding drugged. But the left prizes "childlike" above all other descriptions.

Everybody has to find a way to make a living. I guess she thinks being a paid protester is the way to go.

I would think joining the Army would be a better life.

She could volunteer at the nearest Army Post in helping the families at home maybe. Oh, but then that would be about them, not her. What a mental case.

Just a comment that the Bush family DOES understand the death of a child. Remember W's older sister Robin died of a childhood illness. Granted, it wasn't a war that killed his sister, but painful for the family no less.

She speaks in a high, almost childlike voice. She says like as often as any teenager, as in, "This whole thing was like so freaking spur of the moment.

That could describe their entire core group of whackos. Male, female or a cross btw the two.

I was sympathetic to this woman at the beginning of her publicity stunt. Now I'm just disgusted by the way she's daily dishonoring her son's sacrifice just to stay in the headlines.

This woman is off the deep end, she is threatening not to pay her taxes, she wants the President impeached, she's commenting on foreign policy, i.e. Israel, the media is sucking this up because they didn't have to go anywhere for news, she walked right into Crawford in a slow news month when the President is on vacation, all the media had to do was set up a bank of mikes and bingo, instant insanity, even the neighbors are getting tired of it, one neighbor shot off his rifle on his property which is legal in Texas, he's fed up with the circus. If this woman was saying how much she agreed with the war and how much she liked the President's policies, etc. none of us would hear a word from the MSM, we wouldn't even know she was there. I wonder where she was when slick was sending troops to Somalia, etc.

To fit with her childlike mind, no doubt.

When Liberals use the term "childlike" so endearingly, one can only assume they haven't spent any time around actual children.

Conservatives, who live in the real world, know what "childlike" really is: naive, whiny, petulant, demanding, immature, illogical, uneducated, selfish, and with a tendency to throw tantrums. In other words, just like Sheehan (and all her Liberal ilk).

From the article: She speaks without caveat. "I'm not afraid of anything since my son was killed," she says. But she has never been one to move quietly through life. Father Michael McFadden, a priest she once worked for, calls her "very defiant, very stubborn, very strong willed" when dealing with authority.

I think her 15 minutes have been up for awhile now.

If I read one more puff piece about Cindy Sheehan, I will puke on my keyboard. These reporters are so incompetent or inane that they will not bother to look into who supports Sheehan or what she has said in the past. I'm assuming that the author of this article is a willing participant in any effort to get rid of Bush.

I wonder what she's planning to do, once Bush's vacation in Crawford is over? Move her protest to the White House? Or will her 15 minutes finally be over?

Does the Time magazine mention any of the mother's anti-semitic ourbursts? I thought so.

More:

Back home in California, her family is imploding under its grief. Sheehan lost her job at Napa County Health and Human Services because of all her absences, she says. Husband Pat, 52, couldn't bear having Casey's things at home and put most of them in storage. "We grieved in totally different ways," Cindy says. "He wanted to grieve by distracting himself. I wanted to immerse myself." A car tinkerer, he added two 1969 VW Bugs to his collection recently and diverted some of his sorrow into them. The couple separated in June.

Daughter Carly, 24, wrote a poem that begins, "Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming for her son?" Surviving son Andy, 21, supports his mother in principle but recently sent her a long e-mail imploring her "to come home because you need to support us at home," he says. Casey's aunt Cherie Quartarolo e-mailed a California radio station last week to rebuke Cindy, writing, "She appears to be promoting her own personal agenda at the expense of her son's good name."

She seems to be a very cruel person. She needs a psychiatrist and needs to understand what she is doing to the rest of her family.

The last paragraph is chilling.

No it isn't, the last paragraph reads:

A fair question. There is a risk, though, that Sheehan's ideas will never stop spreading down the road. In 1965 a group of just 25 antiwar protesters demonstrated outside President Lyndon Johnson's Texas ranch. Within a few years, the handful had turned into a movement.

In 1965 the Walter and Dan's of the MSM dominated opinion because theirs were the only voices .... that horse doesn't ride anymore.

This lady will be gone from the headlines the first time there are 2 Florida shark attacks within 2 days of each other.

With Fenton Communications as her PR firm? Uh-huh. Yeah.

I agree. She is obviously grieving in a very angry, bitter way--give her enough time on this course and everyone she knows will suffer from her bitter poison. It is unfortunate, so many have had terrible losses. I wonder what her comments were on 9/11 --for those who had no idea they were about to lose their loved ones. They could not plan at all. This woman's son went of his own free will to serve--he did and it cost him his life, one of the very real possibilities of war. What is her tirade saying to those who suffered loss on 9/11?
