Cindy Sheehan: Anti-American Idol
Written by Dustin Hawkins
Saturday, August 20, 2005
Howard Dean called and he wants his speech writer back. If nothing else, the non-stop coverage of Cindy Sheehan gives us all one good long look as to why Americans are not voting for liberals, why liberals refuse to say they are liberals, and why liberals will remain insignificant in American politics for the near distant future: because they are crazy.
Cindy has taken to grieving unlike most mothers would: By making a massive spectacle of herself daily, by aligning herself with far-left organizations, and by constantly making ridiculous demands and bashing America. Most Americans sympathize with grieving families. Not even Sheehan's family sympathizes with her.
Granted, calling for a pull out of Iraq, bashing the Jews, and calling Bush a terrorist is stuff we haven't heard since at least the last hippie protester hit the streets. Sheehan is practically this week's side-show freak festival filling the void since Michael Jackson returned to Neverland Ranch. In fact, throw in a scream and she is Howard Dean. "Not only are we going to Crawford, but we are going to Washington, and Camp David, and Martha's Vineyard, until Bush speaks with me, yeeeaaaarrrgggghhh."
Yet none of her protesting has much to do with the death of her son. Sheehan continues to say that she will protest until Bush meets with her (again) so he can explain why he had her son murdered. Unfortunately, she blew her own cover last week when, on Hardball, she said she did not "really" want to meet with Bush because that would diffuse the momentum of her protest and the anti-war movement. But at least she doesn't have other motives. This is about one thing: It's about being an anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-American, anti-Jew protestor. She thought she would be invincible because her son died in Iraq. She's wrong.
Cindy Sheehan is the kind of person liberals wish our American troops were. Casey Sheehan is the kind of soldier they wish they weren't, but generally are. Becoming boot sniffers for the anti-military military crowd, liberals have no shame in parading around a supposedly still-grieving mother on endless television shows, or running endless anti-military war veterans for public office. This enables liberals to actually be able to say, with a straight face, that they "Support the Troops" (who hate the military, bash the president...).
With her recent tour in the ditches, Sheehan is at least as well-qualified to run for president as the last nominee the Democrats gave America. Thanks to her expertise in the area of world affairs and counter-terrorism, learned exclusively from watching Michael Moore documentaries, we all now know that 9-11 would never have happened if we had not attacked Iraq. Oh, wait. She certainly does have some choice quotes, one that she could certainly build a congressional campaign around. (If she lived in, oh, say Vermont, perhaps).
On the Iraqi elections: "I certainly didn't raise my son to be an outstanding citizen of the world to go and die so some people could have ink-stained fingers."
On America's "real" motives: "My first born was murdered... He was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Of course, she also added that "America was not worth dying for" either.
On what Casey died for: "He died for oil. He died to make your friends richer. He died to expand American imperialism in the Middle East."
On a real strategy for ending terrorism: "We are not freer here thanks to your Patriot Act. Iraq is not free. You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism."
Of course, I don't know why she wouldn't be invited to meet with the president for a second time. She has called Bush deplorable, despicable, the world's biggest terrorist, and the guy who committed pre-mediated murder against her son. Not only that, but she's been living in a ditch, because it rhymes with... On second thought, I don't know why the Secret Service lets her within four miles of Crawford.
Casey could have been remembered as the soldier who bravely enlisted with the military in order to serve his country, voluntarily. Certainly, he would not have re-enlisted during the war if he shared his mother's wild conspiratorial views. Instead, he will be remembered as the son of the crazy lady in a ditch who said his death was in vain, for no purpose, for lies, for evil Israel, and so the Iraqi people could have useless ink on their fingers. He, like all the other soldiers who have died for our country, deserves far more than that.

Pretty much says it all. Thanks for the post.
Cindy is Jane without the famous name. Or the good looks. When is Cindy going to take a picture assembling an IED or wearing an explosive vest?
This will probably be the first time in the history of Crawford,Texas;that the good folk there will be happy to see the circus leave town.
Hi, Cindy Sheehan, Anti-American...
DAMN GLAD TO MEET YOU!!!
.
SHEEHAN will join FONDA's coming 100 City Anti-Iraq War Bus Tour.
The real Danger of not nailing our Enemies Within from long ago...
is that they are free to spawn new ones in a new Time of War.
Only now it's our own Freedom that's dircetly at stake here at home.
.
If you're gonna post a picture,why not one of Casey?
Or maybe even a puppy dog or something. :)
Target sighted, locked....target destroyed.
Nice shootin'.
Would it be wrong to show up when the bus is coming to town and throw tomatoes?
sorry for the big bandwith eater
Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam dunk!
Ms. Sheehan is simply explaining capitalism to liberals and commies and terrorists/jihadists/fundamentalists/whatevers.
I do believe if she could prop that poor boy's corpse in a lawn chair, she would.
Ouch. Did I say that?!
Wonder if they got permission to use Pooh and Piglet?
