The Sorrow and the Pity (Cindy Sheehan appears to have gone insane)

"and the mainstream media is a propaganda tool for the government."

She 'really' is confused, doesn't she know the MSM is a tool of the Demorats.

[Zionist Conspirator]

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

So, she's implying that Pearl Harbor was as fake as she insists 9/11 was?

And liberal Democratis are embracing this person, eh? Interesting!

[sydbas]

We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated.

There's some real news. I had no idea we have used nukes in Iraq. I would have thought someone in the MSM might have reported that. 'Mother Sheehan' is in need of some serious help, and that's the sad part.

Poison-spewing evil serpentine spawn of satan is what she sounds like. This is not a good person. The son probably enlisted to spite her, to get away from her.

[Joann37]

"...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..."


Why would she need to take him to Canada? Did she forget that he voluntarily enlisted, and then voluntarily re-enlisted, and that there is no draft?

"Her IQ can be measured with a tire pressure gauge."

Does she blow on it or is it inserted in her ear?

[Doogle]

I believe she needs help. We are watching her commit a slow suicide.


...and the democratic loonies are milking her for all she has left. They will dump her carcass along the highway of self destruction that the lefties are bend on traveling.

Doogle

The Times doesn't elaborate on Mrs. Sheehan's description of herself as "radicalized"

I can simplify things for the Times.
Radicalized

[Txsleuth]

There is another thread that I was just on...that said that Medea Benjamin, from Code Pink was on Hannity today...and said that Cindy Sheehan called HER during the RNC Convention..

and asked Benjamin if there were any kind of rallys or demonstrations that she could become involved in...

SO...that kinda takes the "these groups are using her" arguement, out from under her, doesn' it?

[syriacus]

They will dump her carcass along the highway of self destruction that the lefties are bend on traveling.

Then they will call her a martyr.

[johnb838]

People stand in front of the White House every day calling him out and no one notices. It's only cuz it's in Crawford that anyone even notices. Heck, they're probably STILL standing in front of the WH calling him out and he's not even in Wash.

So you signed up today to post this? How very nice of you!

[BadAndy]

"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."

The loss of her son has apparently driven this woman into dementia. She at least has an excuse. What is inexcusable are the "compasionate" leftist vermin who are using this nutjob to score political points instead of getting her the counseling and institutionalization she needs. I am personally taking up a collection to pay for the electroshock therapy and lobotomy's needed by Cindy and her fellow protesters.

[kellynch]

She doesn't think this country is worth dying for?

How appropriate it is that today's "Founder's Quote Daily" says the following:

Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives. -- John Adams, 1808 - letter to Benjamin Rush

[badbass]

This act of immersing herself in her grief is the key, I think, to understanding what has happened to this woman. She continues to pry the wound open, so, of course, it will not heal.

Very true. I've grieved, and I can tell you the secret to coming out of grief is to immerse yourself into real activity and work. Not become a poster child for traitors. The people taking advantage of this poor dimwit should rot in hell.

Welcome to Free Republic. I predict a short but electrifying stay.

[Socratic]

The psychotic Left has been reduced to finding its heroines among the mentally ill. Pitiful.

I consider her illness akin to a variety of Munchausen's Syndrome. By poisoning the President, the nation and all which are not agreeable to her political views she turns herself into a martyr who should be pitied because so much in the world is arrayed against her. The woman is, indeed, mentally ill.

[fellowpatriot]

I was raised in a country by a public school system

That explains a lot.

[caisson71]

I remember when America was disgusted that Hamas employed a mentally retarded - or whatever the PC term is - kid as a suicide bomber. Now, the American press is using an obviously distraught and mentally unstable grieving mother as their poster child against President Bush and the War on Terrorism. Thak about sick bastards!!

[truthingod]

How does this woman's tirade look to those who lost loved ones on 9/11--does she even understand that they could not have the opportunity to expect their death? Her son went willingly, it was a possibility that he could die.
