CRAWFORD, Texas - Even when she was in California taking care of her mother, Cindy Sheehan said part of her remained at the protest campsite she had set up outside President Bush's ranch. On Wednesday, Sheehan returned to "Camp Casey," named after her 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed last year in Iraq.
"This is where I belong, until Aug. 31, like I told the president," Sheehan said at the Waco airport before driving about 20 miles to the Crawford site.
When Sheehan arrived at the campsite, she saw a large banner depicting her son's face. She sobbed and said she felt ill. Supporters brought her water and cold towels, and she recovered about 20 minutes later.
Sheehan began her vigil Aug. 6 on the road leading to Bush's ranch, vowing to stay through his monthlong vacation unless he met with her. She left last week to visit her 74-year-old mother in Los Angeles after the woman suffered a stroke. Sheehan said her mother has started physical therapy for paralysis on her right side.
Sheehan's protest in Crawford has encouraged anti-war activists to join her and prompted peace vigils nationwide. She also continues to draw harsh criticism.
Conservative activists and military families were en route to Crawford from California on a tour called "You don't speak for me, Cindy!" The caravan coordinated by Move America Forward plans to hold a pro-Bush rally in town Saturday.

The reporter added the paragraph (my bold) about Sheehan almost collapsing when she saw the picture of her dead son. This is scripted theater of the absurd in my opinion. Using her son that way is shameful and disgraces his memory. Everything else has been said before, but the press fell for one more performance by this professional protester.
PING
Time for a tobacco juice facial for Cindy. I'm waiting for a fellow vet to give her the same treatment that Jane Fonda got for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Sounds like something my old Granny called "the vapors".
Ship her to the MidEast...and let her try to kill some of those Zionists she hates so much. If she doesn't like this country, she needs to get the f%%k out on a one-way ticket.
No, nothing like that. But does anyone know what fire ants like to eat? ;>)
That's "Defeat Mom."
Good that she will be there for the "You Don't Speak for Me Cindy" event.
The good news is that the Move America Forward caravan item made its way high enough up in the story so that it was inside the 300 word excerpt limit (though I did not need to excerpt here, I did so because the rest of the story is the same as posted by Normsrevenge).
Queen Cindy and her sycophants.
Why can't this bitch just immolate herself, like the Buddhist monk, and get it over with. I'll pitch in a gallon of gas. At these prices, that will show my commitment to her cause.
Welcome back to Texas Cindy... You may now resume your quest to see America defeated. You may now continue you mission to give aid and comfort to the enemy, you goofy moonbay beyyyaaaaaaatch.
Let her go to one of those countries, become a citizen and try her vile theatrics against that government. That'll be the end not only of her tantrums, but the last that's heard of her period.
Great graphic!
Credit Zacs Mom!
Easy there. I'm as angry as you are, but wishing violence, even self-inflicted, on her just feeds into the hands of the anti-everything American types. They mean to provoke and this shameless display is their way of doing it. I would really like to see thousands of hard-working Americans give up theirday off and join me and the others on Saturday to support the troops and the mission.
ABC "news" had a gal commentator this morning that actually referred to her as "Gold Star Mom". What tripe...
