BRUNSWICK, Maine --Peace activist Cindy Sheehan won't be protesting The Great State of Maine Air Show featuring the Navy's Blue Angels after all.

Sheehan planned to be on hand Saturday to join local peace activists, but she chose instead to go to Atlanta to join a bus caravan that grew out of her protest at President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, said her spokeswoman, Andrea Buff.

Mother Sheehan is SO over.

Katrina upstaged her and stole the show.

Maybe I've missed it, but where in Atlanta? Maybe she thinks she's "safe" here because of the Yellow Daisy Festival going on this weekend.

With all that's going to be going on DC, I hope that no one even notices her act there on Sept. 24.

I think the MSM abandoned Cindy because of Katrina and Judge Renquist. There are more important happenings now than Cindy. She no longer matters and she should go home and try to take care of her mother.

About Cindy Sheehan the woman who is making a big stink about "her son"
dying in Iraq..but here's the rest of the story... ( NOT PAUL HARVEY THOUGH )

What is most interesting to me is that the press gives this little bunch of
people who are protesting with Cindy so much air time without discussing
Cindy's background.

This is a case of more press bias. It has been pointed out on just a couple
of media outlets that Cindy divorced her first husband and left her son with
him to be raised while she became a political activist for the Democratic
Party. She had very little to do with her son in his growing years.

She remarried. The 1st husband remarried.

The original father raised the son with his new wife. They miss their son
and mourn the loss of his life. They have stated that they are very proud of
their son and that they agree with the stance of America in Iraq and on
terror.

They said that their son was eager to serve and to go fight the terrorists
in Iraq. He volunteered.

How many news stations carried their interview? Not many.

So the son dies in Iraq and then Cindy shows up to make a stink. She gets an
audience with Bush. That was not enough. She goes to Crawford and demands
another audience. How many news stations carry the ongoing saga of Cindy?

Practically all of them!

Cindy didn't care about her son.

She let another woman raise him. Cindy doesn't care about the other soldiers
in Iraq.

Cindy cares about her liberal, feminist agenda and about using the death of
her son to lobby against Republicans and Bush. And the press is helping her.


Why? Then few days ago, Cindy's 2nd husband filed for a divorce from Cindy.

Cindy sounds like a feminist opportunist who did not have the sense of
responsibility to even raise her own son.

It looks like her 2nd husband is fed up with Cindy. We middle Americans
should be fed up with Cindy also.

We should be fed up with the press. They manipulate us into their "group
think" and into the responses that they want on their polls.

Great post GrannyK!

I'm glad Sheehan's 15 minutes are up. She didn't deserve a minute of that time.

Bless Casey's dad and the mom that raised him.

Most of all, God bless Casey in making the ultimate sacrifice for his country. He will not be forgotten.

With all the threads I have read, I have never heard all this before. If she was divorced from Casey Sheehan's father and remarried, why is she using her ex's last name?

Is Pat Sheehan Casey's father? Did he not attend the meeting with PRESIDENT Bush in June 2004?

Who is the father of the other 2, or is it 3, children.
