Mother of slain soldier decries 'military and governmental fascism'
Fresh from a visit to hurricane-ravaged Louisiana, anti-Bush activist Cindy Sheehan is demanding the U.S. military be removed from "occupied New Orleans."
In a dispatch on leftist filmmaker Michael Moore's website, Sheehan said she was troubled by the "level of the military presence" in the Gulf Coast state.
"George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq, and excuse his self from power," she said. "The only way America will become more secure is if we have a new administration that cares about Americans even if they don't fall into the top two percent of the wealthiest.
The Vacaville, Calif., woman, whose son was killed fighting insurgents in Iraq, launched an anti-war movement last month when she camped outside Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch and demanded to meet with the president, drawing national media attention.
In her Internet posting today, Sheehan said she had "imagined before that if the military had to be used in [continental U.S.] operations that they would be there to help the citizens: Clothe them, feed them, shelter them, and protect them. But what I saw was a city that is occupied."
Describing the scene, she wrote, "I saw soldiers walking around in patrols of 7 with their weapons slung on their backs. I wanted to ask one of them what it would take for one of them to shoot me. Sand bags were removed from private property to make machine gun nests."
The activist insisted there was no reason for the security presence, because "the vast majority of people who were looting in New Orleans were doing so to feed their families or to get resources to get their families out of there. If I had a store with an inventory of insured belongings, and a tragedy happened, I would fling my doors open and tell everyone to take what they need: it is only stuff."
She commented: "When our fellow citizens are told to 'shoot to kill' other fellow citizens because they want to stay alive, that is military and governmental fascism gone out of control."
Sheehan came under fire last month after WorldNetDaily broke the story that she had called enemy terrorists "freedom fighters."
"But now that we have decimated the country," she said, "the borders are open, freedom fighters from other countries are going in, and they [American troops] have created more terrorism by going to an Islamic country, devastating the country and killing innocent people in that country."
And her toilet.
Bttt! LOL!
Cindy Sheehan: the gift that keeps on giving. ;)
If she did that the joke would be on her if the insurance company found out what she'd done. She'd have to make a theft insurance claim for the value of property she'd given away. Of course, given the thing she is, she'd probably try to perpetrate an insurance fraud by saying it was a theft.
You sure this isn't from the Onion or Scrappleface?? Parody and reality continues to blur.
Is this a joke?
Earth to Cindy: Our troops are too well-disciplined to shoot you under any condition. I suggest you find one of the less disciplined individuals who live in or around New Orleans. I doubt it would take much to get them to shoot you. If that fails, give me a call at 1-800-328-7448. Note: Check your keypads, Freepers!
Lunatic Sheehan: Get troops out of 'occupied New Orleans'
...
An appropriate title should read:
Lunatic Sheehan: "Get the voices out of my pre'occupied mind!"
I don't believe her, anyway. From what I understand the VFP group that she is with is no where near NOLA and they're scamming off of the Red Cross. Her hatred of the military comes through loud and clear.
Just lets you know what kind of morals Cindy didnt get from her parents.....Insurance fraud is a felony....
She needs a straight Jacket and some Librium and a quiet spot in the corner of a padded cell.....
I feel a Saturday Night Live skit coming along. I know that the writers are all flaming leftists, but if there was ever a person who is making themselves a caricature, I don't know of one.
She just loves the troops so much as they are all "victims" of this administration. Then she hates the same troops for helping out in the hurricane zone. This broad is a complete nut case.
Leftists like her hate the military and all it stands for and will only use them when it advances their own agenda when needed. Then they go back to their bedrock contempt for the same troops. A Really pathetic, small, person.

The thing about Cindy is that she's obviously insane and nothing more than a mouthpiece for SorosCo/Moveon/Joe Trippi/Howard Dean, which indicates to me that the "occupied New Orleans" line is what her handlers and benefactors fed her and indicates their real feelings about the US military.
Right on...Cindy Sheehan is a nut from the vast left lunatic fringe...now she says N.O. is occupied and wants the occupiers out...ok..so how's about if the military troops are removed,then the police,the emergency responders,the medical personnel,and some of the businessmen who stayed behind..all 'occupiers' so all must leave...that's too much to ask her to reason through,better to say a stupid thing and let the news Media blow it up and send it to the nation and to the world...nothing like giving aid and comfort to our enemies...stupid bitch..then again,she might make a good running mate for another leftist bitch...
Cindy is nothing but a Communist sack of s--t who had best keep her mouth shut.
