GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- 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 monthlong 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.
Egads! I was thinking the same thing, LOL.
Perhaps it's poison pills ... like the whole bottle? ;)
Hasta La Vista, Cindy!
I vote that she takes her group to Iraq. She can demonstrate with her cohorts, the terrorists. They can have a mutual hate American, hate Bush party-- that is, if she can "keep her head attached to her body" around those wild animals.
For whom does the bell toll?
Middle America, after having the anti-war icon in their face for weeks now, summarily rejects her and her message. The MSM gambled, and obviously lost big here.
Already in free-fall, how many more viewers did they chase with this attempted coup?
The liberal message is so unacceptable now that it cannot even be purveyed by a normally unassailable voice, that of a grieving mother.
I can't find the thread but at one of the Cindyless Cindy tour stops a woman had her daughter with her. Her daughter kept asking her mom "is that the mother?" about every one of the woman losers on the tour. Cindy wasn't even scheduled to be there. Sometimes children understand better than adults. With liberals it's most of the time.
Gaining speed on the down side of the curve, In six months the question will be "Who is Cindy Sheehan, is she that moron who used her brave sons coffin as a soap box?"
If she had a brain, she'd call a press conference and ask all her supporters to send money to and/or take in homeless people from the hurricane - that she was redirecting her energies toward others, as so many had come to her aid in her time of need - that she would do this in Casey's memory.
Time to take that dog to the vet,and have it put down!

Besides the lack of a brain, Cindy is impaired in two other ways:
1. She must be the center of the anti war freaks.
2. She like most libs is totally void re any morality and sense of responsibility.
And that's why she'll step on others to stay in the limelight. A totally self-involved woman.
Get along home Cindy, Cindy
Get along home Cindy, Cindy
Get along home Cindy, Cindy
You're not wanted here today
:o)
Hurricane Cindy has been downgraded to just a lot of hot air.
Maybe a Unitarian Universalist church was going to sponsor her? Or one of those leftie Catholic/ Peace & Justice ones.
yeah, more pressing needs elsewhere in the country. You keep telling yourself that cindeeeeee. We didn't want you and we made sure you would nto be here. That's why you are not going to be here. Good for Colorado!!!!
or threw water... Oh I'm melting...I'm melting.......
Our church should be for peace and for an open dialogue for discussing issues that affect us all, and hearing things firsthand. We should be an open society and continue to strive for that, Moffatt said.
He blamed a neoconservative group within the church for the decision to turn away Sheehan.
They ignore the fact that shes a mother of a fallen soldier, a grieving person. They buy into the conservative media and the talk shows and the conspiracies you know, that shes a front for various organizations, etc. Its a real threatening thing, and they completely forget the Bible, they completely forget what our faith is based upon, and they react and this is whats happened.
"Make the work harder for the men so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies."
Exodus 5:9
Always be careful of groups with the names "peace and justice" in the title. They rarely stand for "peace" and are almost always morally confused about the term "justice".
LOL. Lots of "resonance" in that remark.
