"Peace Mom" cancels visits to Colorado
9News.com (Denver) ^

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has canceled three visits to Colorado after emotions over her protest outside President Bush's ranch boiled over at a church and college campus. A Glenwood Springs church voted Thursday not to allow Sheehan to give a speech scheduled for later this month after some members threatened to leave the church if she came.

Church member Mo Barz said he thinks it is inappropriate for the church to host a political speaker.

"I was definitely against having her," he said. "I felt all along the church should rescind any agreement they had to have her be there."

Sheehan has gained notoriety for her month-long protest outside Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas and her demands to meet with him to discuss her 24-year-old son Casey's death in Iraq. Detractors have said she is demoralizing the troops and using her son's death to push a liberal platform.

The day after the church called off her visit there, Sheehan canceled other visits to the state, citing "more pressing needs elsewhere in the country," according to Karen Sjoberg, director of Grand Valley Peace and Justice, which had arranged for one of the visits.

Sheehan was scheduled to speak at Mesa State College in Grand Junction on Sept. 15. After the school received complaints that she would be appearing on campus, the school issued a statement saying it did not support or sponsor Sheehan's visit. Sheehan's camp then canceled the visit.

She also canceled a stop in Paonia.

Excellent! I believe the disaster in New Orleans will shove Cindy to the side, media-wise. At least I hope so.

Note to Cindy: A big storm hit, your 15 minutes are up.

Yes, she's very upset about that.

Why don't she and her little band of misfits do something constructive. Like find a shelter to work in to help these poeple. Oh I forgot, when the Hurricane hit she and her clown posse headed the other direction.

Kinda like constantly winding up your base.... You can only get the spring wound up so many times before it snaps.....


I love watching the dim party implode. :)

Nothing like being run out of town on a rail, huh?

"More pressing," my white Southern butt.

You know how those Leftists are. They like to surrender and call it "victory."

Personally, I love it when Leftists claim "moral victory." That means they got their butts kicked bloody.

Yikes! She's been demoted to "notoriety". That can't be good.

Yep, that's just one step above "infamy".

"Sheehan was scheduled to speak at Mesa State College in Grand Junction on Sept. 15."

Grand Junction, Colorado is a beautiful jewel of an idyllic city with churches on almost every street corner. They also put the 10 Commandments by City Hall. She would not have been welcome there.

Yeah, go to New Orleans and whine about your son there, to those who lost someone. Whine as loud as you can. Grab more mikes and cameras, and whine some more. All the rope you want...

Oh, I guess that means she's going to tend to her ailing mother, who is recovering from a stroke.

(Snicker, snicker!)

Last I saw of her schedule she's staying away from MILITARY towns and Conservative bastions until she gets to DC.
