Cindy [Sheeham] and Amy Branham in front of the VFP Impeachment tour Bus

"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." Source

''Who knew that the beginning of the end of the occupation in Iraq was going to start last Saturday in Crawford, Texas?'' said Sheehan, of Vacaville, Calif., who started the protest Aug. 6 in memory of her 24-year-old son Casey, killed in Iraq last year. ``We're here to change the world.'' Source

....TrueMajority, an antiwar group founded by Ben Cohen -- one of the creators of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream -- hired Fenton Communications, a Washington public relations firm that has worked intermittently with Sheehan over the past year to coordinate media coverage.

With this help, Sheehan has courted coverage from the traveling White House press corps with a news conference. A schedule of when relatives of other military casualties in Iraq are expected to join Sheehan in Crawford was distributed to reporters. Her team coordinated an antiwar rally attended by hundreds in Crawford yesterday. Sheehan also launched a television ad campaign yesterday, hoping to achieve what her roadside vigil so far has not: a second chance to directly tell Bush about the devastation she has experienced since her son's death. Source

The Sun also points out that Sheehan is working with the Crawford Peace House, and it says that group's website "includes a photo depicting the entire state of Israel as Palestine." Actually, it depicts a protester holding a sign showing four maps of what is now Israel and the Occupied Territories, noting how Palestinians have been allowed less and less land over the past 60 years.

"Nobody is anti-Israel here," says John Wolf, one of the founders of the Crawford Peace House. "We're just asking for peace with justice and respect for international law." Source

Funny how the hate for Bush overwhelms whatever emotion there was for Casey.

"The media attention has been fabulous," she said Monday ...

And that has been the whole point, hasn't it?

Since she "came out here and sat down on a lawn chair" 10 days ago, Ms. Sheehan said, the situation has "got out of hand and just turned into a media circus."

More lies and obsfucation...

Figures...

Imagine that... liberals taking advantage of an emotionally disturbed woman. Who'd a thunk it. Cindy is just the latest in the parade of manufactured victims. Lets see there was the senior who had to eat cat food instead of paying for her high-priced perscription drugs, then there was the old lady who had to pick up cans by the side of the road (they gave her a Winnebago) and then there was Granny D. I'm sure I'm missing plenty. Anyone else?

Bothered by what she laments as mounting "distractions," Cindy Sheehan sought Monday to refocus her peace vigil near President Bush's ranch on her central anti-war message

Just a question....Why is Cindy Sheehan smiling? Isn't she grieving?

Ten days? Ten days!? It feels like ten freakin' months.

If you are getting too much publicity, fire your publicist...

The quote-unquote election, huh?! They will never allow a Republican to win again without finding some way to negate it in their looney minds.
Meantime up here in WA state we have a quote-unquote governor...for real! They took stealing elections to a whole new level even for Democrats in the great North West this past year!
Cindy Sheehan is a disgrace to centuries of truly grieving relatives of war heroes lost. And this story will end soon and I hope she doesn't go completely insane when it does.

I wonder what this ugly crow will do when September 11th rolls around? You think there will be any media coverage that day? I doubt it.

Where will Cindy be in five years and what will she be doing?

Hey Cindy, your 15 minutes of fame is at about 13 minutes. Be sure and fully enjoy what's left. And above all, remember, you're irrelevant!

Did you see how she responed to the reporters question of , Why isn't it enough that the president met with you once?

Her response was,(paraphrasing)I have answered that question many times, I suggest you look up other interviews I have done.

This woman is starting to believe her own PR.

her son is probably proud to see her standing in front of a bus displaying the flag upside down. I bet he's glad he dedicated his life to protect everything that that flag stands for, only to see his mother glorify its defacement, and totally dishonor his memory in the process.

If it weren't for the "propaganda tool of the standing government", no one would know who you were....if only.
