Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq, and who's been intermittently camped outside President Bush's ranch in Texas demanding to meet with him for a second time, has been hailed as the public face of the antiwar movement. Maureen Dowd of the New York Times has declared that Sheehan's moral authority is "absolute." So in the interest of more fully tapping that moral authority, here's a collection of Sheehan quotes:
"Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."
"Our government is run by one party, every level, and the mainstream media is a propaganda tool for the government."
"Then we have this lying bastard, George Bush, taking a five week vacation in a time of war. You know what? I'm never going to get to enjoy another vacation because of him. My vacation probably -- this is really sad because I have a really cute dress I was going to wear to the banquet tomorrow night -- but I'm either going to be in jail or in a tent in Crawford, waiting until that jerk comes out and tells me why my son died."
"You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of Pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East."
"And if you think I won't say bulls**t to the President, I say move on, cause I'll say what's on my mind."
"You get that evil maniac out here, 'cause a Gold Star Mother, somebody whose blood is on his hands, has some questions for him."
"The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush."
"If he thinks that it's so important for Iraq to have a U.S.-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he needs to sign up his two little party-animal girls. They need to go to this war."
"What can we do to get him out of power? And I'm gonna say the 'I' word: Impeach. And we have to have everybody impeached that lied to the American public, and that's the executive branch, and any people in congress, and we got to go all the way down... to the person who picks up the dogs**t in Washington because we can't let somebody rise to the top who will pardon these war criminals. Because they need to go to prison for what they've done in this world. We can't have a pardon. They need to pay for what they've done."
"It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws and resist. As soon as the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison."
"Is there anyone in America who cannot yet see that Donald Rumsfeld is a liar, that he -- as with Hitler and Stalin -- will say anything so long as he thinks it will help shape the world to his own liking? Is there even one sane adult among us who cannot see that Donald Rumsfeld is a threat to our nation's security and to peace on our beloved earth?"
"Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC [Project for the New American Century] Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by George [W.] Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11."
"We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now."
"I was raised in a country by a public school system that taught us that America was good, that America was just. America has been killing people... since we first stepped on this continent; we have been responsible for death and destruction. I passed on that bulls**t to my son, and my son enlisted. I'm going all over the country telling moms this country is not worth dying for."
"Our country has been overtaken by murderous thugs... gangsters who lust after fortunes and power, never caring that their addictions are at the expense of our loved ones, and the blood of innocent people near and far. We've watched these thugs parade themselves before the whole world as if they are courageous advocates for Christian moral values... and for the spread of democracy. Yet we all know that they are now putting in place, all across this country, a system of voting that provides no way to validate the accuracy of the counting of the votes... and that, by its very design, prohibits recounting the votes. Our loved ones have been buried in early graves even as these arrogant thugs parade themselves before the entire world, insisting that democracy is worth dying for, killing for, and destroying entire cities for... In their secret hiding places, while celebrating newly won fortunes with their fellow brass, these men must surely congratulate themselves with orgies of carnal pleasure as they mock the dwindling multitudes who are yet so blind as to mistake them for God's devoted servants."
Come to think of it, Cindy Sheehan is a perfect mouthpiece for the anti-war movement. Why not go the whole hog and give her a bi-weekly column at the Times?
Mark Goldblatt is the author of Africa Speaks, a satire of black urban culture. You can email him here.
Cindy Sheehan and her minions make me nauseated.
bttt
Best statement I've seen on the subject so far ..Well done.
I really hope she gets to speak at the 2008 DNC. She is better than even Howard Dean. Go Cindy Go!
She's an obvious puppet for the left .She's also demented at this point. Her statements are beyond ignorant and have little to do with reality or facts. I'm so sorry her son died but I have no respect for this traitor at this point.She is a disgrace .
If Ann Coulter had said these things-the left and the media would be getting out the torches and pitch.
And these are just the G rated droppings from Cindy - who BTW, seems obsessed with scatology.
She's a perfect representative for the left.
Someone should adjust her meds.
If true, it's obvious that Cindy's conversion to the anti-American far left (including the espousal of virtually all of its propoganda)is very recent and could accurately be described as brainwashing. Cindy's statements are not mere dissent but are Anti-American rants. What is permissible under law is not automatically patriotic.
I read somewhere this morning that Ms. Sheehan refused to meet with another Gold Star mother because she supported the President and was dis-illusioned in some manner. Besides that being an absolute elitist point of view, is there anyway to have one of those Gold Star Mothers at the Support the Troops rally camp outside Ms. Sheehan's ditch until she gets an audience with her?
And she 'is' the 'ultimate controller'.
They always freak when they lose a bit of control. And these types are NEVER responsible for any of their actions, it is ALWAYS someone else's fault.
Since she cannot bring herself into the reality that her son WANTED to defend our nation against terrorism and WANTED to go to Iraq to fight the just battle there, she HAS to blame President Bush.
Al-sheehani's hatred of the right may have been part of WHY her son rebelled and chose to fight for our nation.
He disagreed.
And she really, really hates that. Hates it enough, that she would drag his name into her failed ideology of hatred and selfishness. Hated what her son chose to do, so much, that she is willing to drag his name through muck of her own making, dishonoring him, disparaging his work, hurting his memory publically, hurting her own family, and all to USE him for her publicity stunts.
She is the worst of America.
And she is proving that her ambition to drive home her opinions is more loved by her than she ever loved her son.
Somewhere in all of this is a woman who did not like her son. She may have loved him, genetically speaking, but she had to have hated what he chose to do enough to override his choice in life, deriding it in front of our nation.
I believe she is in the denial stage of her grieving process. When she hits bottom and stops blaming Bush and finally accepts her loss, she is going to have a very very hard time. Right now all the media attention is distracting her from what I think is her inner voice of grief. I also think when she does hit bottom, she may have a mental breakdown. (She seems to be well on her way right now.)
I heard the same kind of anti Bush rhetoric from the father of Nick Berg ( guy who was beheaded in Iraq) right after Nick was killed. The father was more angry at Bush than at Zarqawi. I remember him saying that the blood of his son was on Bush's hands. I think it was much easier for him to attack the Pres, because to acknowledge the fate of his son was just too overwhelming at the time. But notice we don't hear from him anymore. My guess is that Cindy is going to fall apart soon, big time. Cause right now she's keeping so busy she doesn't have to acknowledge her personal loss.
BTTT!!!!!!
Seems to me that since the main stream media has been doing all they can do to further this woman's cause, then surely they must be Racist Jew-hater's as well.
I mean... shouldn't the main stream media get up with the same fleas as the dog's they lay down with?
Well, he woke up this morning screaming that the President should release oil from the strategic reserves.
Has Cindy issued one statement of concern or emphathy for the welfare of Gulf Coast resident's under the wrath of Katrina?
Does anyone know what Osama Cindy did (as in work) before she became a media maven?
The longer we keep talking about this beeeaatch, the longer it's going to take for her to go away.
