I thought I was the only one to think that she will pop herself when she runs out of rabbits to pull out of the hat, but I see I am not alone.
Given the crowd she is hanging out with, if they decide her stock will go up as a result, they will help her along.
She is mentally ill if the media really cared about her like they claim to they should be paying for her to see a shrink.
I know it wasn't the writers intention, but this phrase certainly sounds to suggest that the Vietnam soldier didn't deserve "all the respect, love and honor that we, as a grateful nation, can muster for them."
Whoops, I forgot by the end of Viet Nam we didn't have much of a grateful nation. Sorry, my bad.
I was a small child at the time, but I believe that the treatment Vietnam troops received was a direct result of the media, hollywood, and the anti-war protestors. As I said, I was a small child, but if today's America didn't have an alternative media, talk radio and free republic, the media might have created a similar response.
I'm very proud of the conservative movement today and the people who vocally support the value of a single armed man willing to defend freedom no matter the cost.
The thing that really gets me about Cindy is that she so obvioiusly hated everythng Casey stood for and worked for, and did everything she could to undermine him and his mission while he was alive. There were probably other very serious issues between Cindy and Casey before he joined the Army, an act that must have really galled her, let alone the extent to which she must have been infuriated by his re-enlisting contrary to her deepest desires. From her view of America, he'd basically married the Devil's daughter and started having children with the Devil's daughter. That being the case, it would be very easy for her not to feel much real grief at all, but to be anxious to parade as much false "grief" as possible and use it as a weapon to slime Casey's memory and mission, which is exactly what she's doing.
Now she fraudulently, loudly, and lugubriously "grieves" about his death every time a TV camera is pointed at her, just like Bill Clinton "grieving" over Ron Brown's death. Even more vile, she's crassly appropriated Casey's heroic death and twisted it to attack everything he honorably stood for. In effect, as a way to express her real hatred for him and get posthumous revenge on him for his patriotism, she's installed a toilet on top of his grave, copiously used it herself, and invited thousands of other traitors to do the same. Utterly contemptible.
Since Cindy was involved in every far left, anti-American cause she could find long before Casey enlisted, she did everything she could to undermine him and his mission and encourage the Islamofascists to murder every American they could, just the way Nick Berg's father did.
Surprise!! The Islamofascists took that encouragement by those two evil people and murdered Nick Berg and Casey Sheehan. Short of pulling the trigger herself, "Mother Cindy" couldn't have done much more to kill Casey. That puts her right there beside Andrea Yates. What's far worse, she's now trying to make sure lots more Americans, thousands more, get killed by the Islamofascist subhumans.

Again, hogwash. Her tirade began as a simple request and when she was denied further access to the President, she allowed herself to be spoon-fed insults and accusations against the President from the leftist Bush-haters. No, Sheehan didn't concoct those slurs against Pres. Bush from between her own two ears, they were picked up by her from an outside Bush-hater source.
Look closer - you can still see where the puppet strings of the left are attached. Sad fact - she doesn't have the good sense to know it.
I beg to differ. Look at the record of her speeches and activism. She's been at this for over a year. You find a list of her speeches and writings at www.lewrockwell.com
I have looked at her writings and have duly noted the increasing caustic nature of said pieces, especially with the most insulting and critical beginning this year. I've also noted when the abrasiveness of her comments first began - shortly after her link with AFSC. I've also noted how Sheehan's "messages" also reflect those Bush-hater's quote d'jour. They are using her to promote their own agenda. Research AFSC - they even boast Sheehan represents their "values".

For example, it was nearly 25 years after my return before even one person "thanked me for my service", not that I really needed it for I was proud even though most American's really didn't want me to be.
Today every soldier I see I personally walk up and thank him for his/her service. The response is profound gratitude that I would take the time to thank them and I really enjoy doing so.
Both sides of the coin back in those days really wished we would disappear into the wood work, and I sincerely believe deep down in side it was motivated by shame. And to be honest most of us did just that ... "slipped into darkness".
Hopefully, America has grown up a bit and won't let it happen again to this current crop of heroes selflessly serving. But I wonder.
Thanks for your response.
If only it was Cindy Sheehan that suffered a stroke instead of her mother, the left would have a silent martyr. That would be perfect. Imagine all the mileage the left could get from this if only Cindy would stop talking.
I truly believe that your service and the injustice that was committed upon your return is being undone each and every day. John Kerry, without knowing it, provided the catalyst for my generation to re-examine the Vietnam era - and examine it in terms of today's war and today's heroes.
One thing I've learned in my 33 years is that liberal lies and media spin cannot stand the test of historical context. As evidence, I point to the fact that the anti-war activits of today CANNOT disparage the troops. The public will not tolerate it. They have to stick to Bush. It was your sacrifice and your dishonor that led to the inability to dishonor the troops of today. And the "silent" majority from your era, is now repenting for the sins of their past by supporting the troops and their mission publicly and overwhelmingly.
You were dishonored by screaming leftists and silent conservatives, but this pain has lead directly to our ability to fight the war on terror - the man upstairs has a strange way of working.
