he may be a “crackpot,” as Fred Barnes of Fox News commented, but she is also someone to be pitied because she has clearly been brainwashed.

Sheehan, who once described herself as friendly toward President Bush, now says she wants to personally meet with the President and for him to “tell me that my son died for oil.”

So she wants Bush to lie to her...remind me, why is it the Left incessantly complain about lies when they try to solicit them?

CRAWFORD, United States (AFP) - A high profile peace camp set up by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is to move from the roadside outside President George W. Bush's Texas ranch to a private property nearby following mounting hostilities with local residents.

But Sheehan, whose protest has come to symbolize rising anti-war sentiment among Americans, has insisted she will not abandon her demonstration until the president agrees to a meeting.

A source close to the activists at the camp said Sheehan has accepted an offer to move onto private land next to Bush's Prairie Chapel ranch following mounting tensions in recent days.

One man drove a sports utility truck over white crosses, planted by the activists and bearing the names of US soldiers killed in Iraq on Monday night. Some residents have sought a court order to stop the activists parking near the ranch.

Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, has also had a bad week with the news that her husband has filed for divorce.

But the 48-year-old said she would not leave. "What happened last night is very disturbing to all of us and to all Americans," she said of the vandalising of the crosses.

"We're trying to be good neighbors. We are cooperating with law enforcement officials," she added.

"If they want us to leave, they have to talk to their neighbor George W. Bush and tell him to talk to us."

The camp has been on the roadside since August 6. Tensions started to rise on Sunday when a farmer neighbour of the president fired a shotgun in the air, in what many saw as a warning to the protesters.

The land that Sheehan is moving to is owned by a cousin of the farmer who fired the shots.

The driver of the pickup truck drove onto the grass verge in the dark late Monday to knock down some of the 500 crosses which had been placed by Sheehan's supporters. Police have arrested a local man.

But a group of residents of Crawford, the small town of 705 people nearest Bush's ranch, sought a court order on Tuesday to restrict parking in the area around the encampment, police said.

The judge in nearby Waco has 30 days to give a decision but police said six feet (two metres) on each side of the road is public land and anybody can park there unless it creates a hazard.

Sheehan has demanded to meet the president to make her demand that the 138,000 troops in Iraq be brought home. Her son is among about 1,850 American soldiers to have been killed in Iraq.

She has said she will remain at Crawford throughout Bush's five week summer holiday at his ranch and will then go to Washington to wait outside the White House if Bush continues to refuse.

Republican supporters staged a counter demonstration at the site at the weekend. They have since gone. Fifty activists take it in turns to man the peace camp with Sheehan.

Bush has said that he sympathises with Sheehan but will not talk with her. He met the woman in June 2004 after the death of her son who was killed in April 2004, five days after arriving in Baghdad. The president has met many of the families of troops killed in Iraq.

The president's refusal was reaffirmed Tuesday by White House deputy spokeswoman Dana Perino.

"He has met with her," she said. "One of the most cherished rights in America is the right of free speech and she has a right to express her views. He doesn't agree with her views but he respects her right to peacefully protest."

Sheehan's protest has come to symbolize the rise in anti-war sentiment among Americans. But it has taken a growing toll on her private life.

At the press conference, Sheehan refused to comment on reports that her husband had filed divorce papers last week. The two have live apart since June 1.

Her husband sought to end the 28-year marriage citing "irreconcilable differences," in divorce papers filed at Solano County District Court.

It helps if you remember the mass media are a flock of evolved vultures : they thrive on conflict and carnage, so they create it in order to continue to thrive.

If that's too hard to imagine, remember that one mother in two thousand is verbally p*ssing on her son's grave every day while neglecting her grieving husband and surviving children. This one mother in two thousand has torn her family apart. One mother in two thousand...yet the media genuflects before that piece of offal as though she'd given birth to the Second Coming. She's their Black Madonna in a way. They'll Moveon.org to a different piece of meat once Cindy Sue Who? outlives her usefulness.

Sheehan has also said that without left-wing bloggers promoting her cause, America would already be a “fascist state.”

She and the rest of her bug-eyed, drooling, brain dead, leftist companions are wrong as usual: Hitler NAZI( Cindy Slew Who says her son worked for a NAZI regime). Moussilini was a fascist, not a Nazi. These idiots really need to work on their talking points. Even a leftist Jew can glom their contradiction here.

I think we should boycott Fox News until they quit giving Cindy Sheehan so much press coverage, with very little coverage of the other side of the issue! Anyone else agree with this? I will have to turn my TV off pretty soon, if they don't get off this thing. I just watched Special Report and can't take it anymore. When does Brit get back?

To All the FReepers who wish they could have been in Crawford
to support President Bush and the Troops.

You do not have to be in Texas to show support for the Troops.

Visit your local military base today and at least once a week.

Or a military or veteran hospital.

If you can't do that then send an e-mail or packeage
to our troops for morale support.

Proud Patriots -
Sending care packages,
e-mails, and snail mail
to US Military worldwide.

http://www.proudpatriots.org

We need coast to coast support for the troops, now, more than ever.

I'll bet Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane are supplying funds and
morale support for the left.

We need to make an example of these 2 traitors from the 60's.

Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry isn't behind the anti war crowd needs to get a clue.

Spineless US Senate would rather protect Hanoi Kerry
than deal with the anti war crowd.

It's time to support our troops and ignore the jelly fish in the US Senate!

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor
includes FBI files

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

or with any offense punishable by death,
may be tried at any time without limitation.
