...and that is that her activities are a complete sham.
Although it is clear from her own words that she was anti-Bush and anti-war before the death of her son, after his death and after a compassionate meeting with our President, she was trained for several months by a far left PR firm. She is being supported and egged on by the most virulent anti-Ameircan and anti-Bush groups. After all of this, she comes out with her hate-filled story against the President, spouting all of the far left taking points, and using her grief as a tool of the far-left, anti-American crowd. It is a perversion and desecration of grief that should outrage all Americans.
This is a contrived, made for MSM, event, that the far left and their MSM abettors feel is unassailable because of the grieving mother image. Well, hainvg lost my own father last year, and a brother last year too (not in the war), and having lost an only uncle on my Mom's side (my grandparents only boy) in WW II...I can empathize with her grief...but when that grief is turned to hate America and a tool for those who wish to destroy our nation and life style...I will not, I cannot be quiet about it or buy-into that Cindy Sheehan is somehow unassailable while she spouts this hate and garbage.
It is despicable what is happening and it needs to be stood up four-square to.
This lady has admitted to wanting to defy US law and drive her enlisted son to Canada to escape his orders. She has admitted to offering to drive over is legs with her automobile to help him avoid service. Her patriotic son refused both of her dish and voluntarily re-upped with the military to go to Iraq, then while there, volunteered for a dangerous combat mission to help his comrades. He was killed on that mission and is a hero. Pardon the expression, but she is tinkling on his grave and trying to tell us that the moisture are her tears. She says our President killed her son, that the war is only about oil, that it only about defending Israel, that our nation is not worth dieing for, that the US and our President are the terrorists for heaven's sake!
No, I will not be quiet and will call this exactly what I see that it is...a sham and a disgusting spectacle.
Sorry...I am very worked up about this.
Here's my open letter to Cindy Sheehan.
Very well stated, sir.
Glenn Beck today called her a "tragedy slut". Couple leftist moonbats called him up about that.
She strapped on the vest, got in front of the cameras...and figuratively blew herself up.
Now, the left hopes her blood splatters on the President. But, by the time all the body parts fall back to earth, they'll have turned and walked away -- anxious to start the next fundraiser.
As far as I am concerned WMD have been found.That they did`nt have printed on them "Acme weapon of mass destruction to be used against the USA" to satisfy the MSM is of no relevancy to me.
I don't recall that assertion ever being made by W or his administration.
it is of her own volition that she has become such a public figure, inviting such scrutiny
Excellent........just excellent!
You are correct.
She is not a woman distraught at losing a child; she is a hatemonger using the death of her son to bash the President and the United States. Her own words convict her. She is more reminiscent of a stalker than a mourner. Her obsessive hatred is far beyond any which might be explained in the pain from loss. She is not deluded by some Machiavellian plot of extreme Left-wing activist kooks, she is an extreme Left-wing activist kook.
Pardon me while I post this part just to savor later.
Evil wins hearts with the face of innocence, poisons minds with the voice of need, and destroys goodness by seducing its kindness. It never appears in its own diseased skin.
>Mrs. Sheehans son died a heros death trying to rescue his fellow soldiers from an ambush in Sadr City. He deserves to be remembered for that sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice, he made in a selfless act of courage. Thanks to Cindy, he will be remembered as sacrificial lamb dragged through the streets of America to prop up her anti-America, anti-Bush, campaign against the war in Iraq.<
I am capable of remembering U.S. Army specialist Casey Sheehan in more than one way and I think others are also.
>Certainly the emphasis has changed as the situation has changed, but the president included WMD, al Qaeda links to Iraq, freeing the people of Iraq from a brutal dictator,<
I was watching The O'Reilly Factor tonight and Bill lost a bit more respect with me on a couple of points - He keeps referring to Mrs. Sheehan as a "liar". [no spin?]. His guest was John Kerry's campaign manager -a most calm and exact man. He [can't remember his name] drove home the point that the circumstances of going to war in Iraq had changed in numerous ways. [quote above from this post's article] Bill O'Reilly at one point interupted his guest with a loud remark "I couldn't care less about the war in Iraq". [no spin?] The guest pointed out that the whole Sheehan debate had to do with the war in Iraq.

Casey Sheehan was representative of the best of us. His mother is the exact opposite. Without her blather I might not have known as much about this man as I do now. What a great guy and what a great American. You can be your own person, no matter who or what your parents are. Casey is proof of that. God will bless him and I will pray for the repose of his soul with thanks and praise.
sheehan has openly and repeatedly declared her refusal to pay her taxes in 2004, and I, for one, am curious to know if there is some way to find out exactly how much it cost the tax payers for the sheehan's little jaunt to Ft Lewis, Washington to meet with President Bush (at his request, mind you).
excellent posts gentlemen...to bad we don't own a TV station or a newspaper
You are not alone. Lots of company. Darrell Ankarlo is right. We won't, can't, let Viet Nam happen again. It's so hard. We have elected representatives with nothing but their careers on their radar screens. Who cares about this country? I guess it's us.
Excellent
