An anti-war activist whose protest outside President Bush’s Texas ranch concluded this week won’t bring her anti-war sentiments to the Western Slope this month.

Organizers said Friday that Cindy Sheehan won’t make her scheduled Sept. 15 appearance in Grand Junction.

News of Sheehan’s visit evoked immediate outrage among those who see the California woman as using the death of her 24-year-old son, Casey, to undermine troop morale and push the liberal platform of groups backing her message.

Karen Sjoberg, director of Grand Valley Peace and Justice, attributed the cancellation to “what she (Sheehan) deems more pressing needs elsewhere in the country.”

Other scheduled stops in Glenwood Springs and Paonia were cancelled as well.

Couldn't be that your Sugar daddys at Moveon are cutting you off as a complete failure and you are running out of money could it banSheehan?

She'll start blaming GWB for Katrina in 3, 2, 1...

[God luvs America]

The rats are jumping ship and slowly leaving here with nothing- they've seen through the polls Sheehan is hurting their cause...much of the thanks goes to the effort of MoveAmerica Forward and this site for the counter protests last week- NO doubt about it!

[The Phantom FReeper]

She already has blamed Katrina on Bush's environmental policies. The article is on FR somewhere.

long walk off a short pier.

LOL!! At this point she could settle for and off/on ramp!

[msnimje]

Has anymore ever thrown a pie in her face or rotten tomatoes at her?

[Sometimes A River]

She actually blamed Bush and his enviro policies for causing the hurricane.

Even the MSM had to recognize her for the kook she is, and that it was hurting the "cause."

[Sometimes A River]

Ha, yep, I can confirm that she already did...hours after it hit.

[connectthedots]

Her sugar daddies have cut her off.

She'll soon be on welfare because no one is going to hire her. She's in the process of being tossed aside by her 'pimps' like a worn out meth whore.

Well .. once you have a "movement" it's time to get off the POT!!

[chgomac]

"Maybe she could go down there and scream at the National Guard and rescue personnel that the country "isn't worth fighting for."

and then she could tell them that they are all "brainwashed"

[trubluolyguy]

I think the good folks of Grand Junction might have just scared the Ditch B!tch.

[skimask]

Your right, they blame Bush...but Rove started the huricane, carefully directed it's movement, aimed it at New Orleans, and when the timing was just right, turned it loose.

[skimask]

Use her to plug the levee.

[beckysueb]

Sheehan's 5 minutes of fame is SO over!

As over as Chandra'Leveys parents were in 01 when 9/11 happened.

Let's stop using fuzzy language to describe these people. This lowlife bitch is a quisling. Crap like "Protest Mom" makes her a cartoon character. It helps her slither under the radar. Saying say is a "useful idiot" conjures up a picture of Goober from the Andy of Mayberry show, just a dunce who means no harm. Well that's got to stop. Let's call these scumbags what they are traitors who want our destruction just as much as the scummers our brave war fighters are killing everyday.

There was no movement outside of the Bush hating media! Without them she is just another nutjob.

Pray for W and New Orleans

[garyhope]

Cindy was blown away by Katrina.

[processing please hold]

She cancelled her Louisiana tour as well. He he he he he he
