Time magazine reports that Cindy Sheehan's family is "imploding":
Sheehan lost her job at Napa County [Calif.] Health and Human Services because of all her absences, she says. Husband Pat, 52, couldn't bear having [fallen son] 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." . . . 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.
The New York Times reports that Mrs. Sheehan's politics were the cause of her marital collapse:
She said she and her husband separated a few months ago as a result of the war, and of her activism. Although she and her estranged husband are both Democrats, she said she is more liberal than he is, and now, more radicalized.
The Times doesn't elaborate on Mrs. Sheehan's description of herself as "radicalized." Through her own words, unreported by either Time or the Times, she makes clear that she has embraced a grotesque ideology that goes far beyond garden-variety Angry Left paranoia--though it includes plenty of that, as National Review's Byron York reported last week:
"This is something that can't be ignored," Sheehan said during a conference call with bloggers representing sites like democrats.com, codepink4peace.org, and crooksandliars.com. "They can't ignore us, and they can't put us down. Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."
"Our government is run by one party, every level," Sheehan continued, "and the mainstream media is a propaganda tool for the government." Sheehan also called the 2004 presidential election "the election, quote-unquote, that happened in November."
Sheehan spoke at an April San Francisco State University rally in support of Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in February of providing material aid to terrorists. Here's an excerpt:
I was raised in a country by a public school system that taught us that America was good, that America was just. America has been killing people . . . since we first stepped on this continent, we have been responsible for death and destruction. I passed on that bullshit to my son and my son enlisted. I'm going all over the country telling moms: "This country is not worth dying for." If we're attacked, we would all go out. We'd all take whatever we had. I'd take my rolling pin and I'd beat the attackers over the head with it. But we were not attacked by Iraq. We might not even have been attacked by Osama bin Laden if 9/11 was their Pearl Harbor to get their neo-con agenda through and, if I would have known that before my son was killed, I would have taken him to Canada. I would never have let him go and try and defend this morally repugnant system we have. The people are good, the system is morally repugnant. . . .
What they're saying, too, is like, it's okay for Israel to have nuclear weapons. But Iran or Syria better not get nuclear weapons. It's okay for the United States to have nuclear weapons. It's okay for the countries that we say it's okay for. We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now. It's okay for them to have them, but Iran or Syria can't have them. It's okay for Israel to occupy Palestine, but it's--yeah--and it's okay for Iraq to occupy--I mean, for the United States to occupy Iraq, but it's not okay for Syria to be in Lebanon.
Earlier in April, at a speech before the United Methodist Church in Venice, Calif., Sheehan likened Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to "Hitler and Stalin" and was particularly lurid in describing her hatred of Rumsfeld's then-deputy:
As soft-spoken and sincere-sounding as Paul Wolfowitz is, is there yet any sane adult in this country whose skin does not crawl when this murderous liar opens his mouth and speaks?
She concluded: "In their secret hiding places, while celebrating newly won fortunes with their fellow brass, these men must surely congratulate themselves with orgies of carnal pleasure as they mock the multitudes who are yet so blind as to mistake them for God's devoted servants."
The mainstream media have largely ignored Sheehan's crackpot views, and not only--perhaps not even primarily--for ideological reasons. Members of the White House press corps find the annual sojourn to Crawford deathly dull. They need something to do; they want bylines--and "heartbroken everymom" makes for a much more compelling story than "extremist hatemonger."
The journalists will soon move on, and her political allies may do so as well. For them she is a mere instrument. The White House press corps will discard her as soon as they return to Washington where there's real news going on. Serious opponents of the war in Iraq will cast her aside if her foul statements make her an embarrassment. When that happens, we can only hope that someone still cares about Cindy Sheehan--not as a story or a symbol, but as a human being.
It's true we all grieve in 'different ways'. But to 'immerse' yourself in grief is to hang onto it, pick at it, until it festers and destroys the ability to think clearly. I guess we're seeing the results of that from Cindy.
She was mad at Ted Koppel because she said he didn't let her get her side of the story out sufficiently. Of course, she said O'Reilly's show was an obscenity, so she'll be real pleased her family's on it.

ghosty didn't last long.
" If we're attacked, we would all go out. We'd all take whatever we had. I'd take my rolling pin and I'd beat the attackers over the head with it"
I dont know why i selected this quote...every sentence she spews from the giant frothing latrine of a mouth is worse than the previous.
Can you imagine how hard it must be to be fired from a government Health and Human Services Department?
Then leave it, Cindy. No one is making you stay.
I know. These leftists are coming out of the woodwork on this. Guess they got their marching orders from DU or some other site like that.
Beautiful collage of what a neo-Nazi, America-hating, radicalized left-wing Democrap looks and sounds like. Thank you for taking time to create and post this insightful work. It says it all about this hag.
Of course it isn't!! According to the lefties, the media is controlled by its eeeeviiil neocon corporate owners. That's why the rats are never able to get even-handed treatment in the MSM.
Call us when you get back. And remember: If they ask, don't tell.
Can I get odds she will, (with a suggestion from a DNC "friend") immolate herself in the middle of the road by Labor Day?
Poor Cindy...she's gone insane...maybe her husband should have had her committed...until she came to her senses.
guess he was mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore - probably went down to Crawford to hang with Sheehan.
She is dishonoring her son. I can't figure out why she doesn't realize that.
I am sure they see her as a necessary tool to further radicalize the hated bourgesoisie. As a member of the bourgesoisie herself, her life is of little account anyway. She should be glad to sacrifice it for the revolution, considering the crimes against humanity she has committed in the past.
"Our government is run by one party, every level,"
There is a reason for that you stupid git, it's called voting.
