10 THOUSAND? If correct - WOOOHOOOO!

Protesting mother back at Crawford - Sheehan returns as opposing camp gains momentum

Is it me or the title insinuates that Sheehan will deflate the "opposing camp momentum" as if the only reason they gathered to show support for our troops and our president was due to the fact that Sheehan wasn't there.

Considering the number of reports that came out of Crawford over the past few days that didn't even mention she was gone, I don't see why this is news.

Bush left the ranch too.

The media is lying to us 24/7.

I read that as, I guess we need to mention the other side.

It looks like she got some new clothes while "taking care" of her mother.

Seems like Cindy and her handlers have been monitoring the internet

Good grief, isn't this chick's 15 seconds of fame up already. I'm sure glad I don't watch the MSM anymore. I'd throw the TV out the window.

Those last two pictures say it all, laughing and then "boom" the water works open up. Reminds me of when Clinton was a funeral, walking out laughing until he saw the TV cameras and in the matter of step, the tears were flowing.

These people are as phony as a 3 dollar bill. Simply pathetic that she is treating the memory of her son like a political game....I'm betting her son is rotating like a globe in his grave.

With singing and tears, protest mom Cindy Sheehan returned to her vigil near President Bush's ranch Wednesday

That picture at the airport is very illustrative. A real broken, concerned, and serious woman.

Yeh, instant tears for Ron Brown.

Thanks for the LINK (What a bunch of loons!)

Shown, from left, are Melanie House, holding her 8-month-old son, James; Melanie's mother, Susan House; and Karen Meredith. Baby James House was four weeks old when his father, John House, was killed in Iraq. The father and son never met.

The Crawford Peace House is shown in Crawford, Texas, Monday, Aug. 22, 2005. With only $3 in the bank, things looked pretty grim for the Crawford Peace House two weeks ago. The telephone had been cut off for nonpayment. The co-founders used their own money for the mortgage payment and electric bill. Then Cindy Sheehan arrived. The grieving California mother's quest for a meeting with President Bush inspired more than $150,000 in donations to the Crawford Peace House since Sheehan started a makeshift campsite Aug. 6 along the road to Bush's ranch. Not only are the phones back on, but the group plans to pay off its mortgage. (AP Photo/LM Otero)
