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."
OH MY GOD!!!!!
Please, please, let the NYT and LATimes run this as much as they did her other rantings.
Seriously, can we pay her to keep saying things like this?
Yep, just what I was thinking.
Hell, I'm hoping for Sheehan as Hillary's VP.
lol....tv dinners
I don't think Mr. Stone and Mr. Parker will wait till the next Team America installment. I bet they will let her have it when the new season starts.
I can PROMISE you that the libs are wishing that it were so. I mean the libs who think like Michael Moore but know political realities wish see would go away, and I would not besurprised to see them make her go away, by force if necessary. She is totally destroying them. If I get in a discussion with a lib I only have to bring up Cindy Sheehan to get them to change the subject. And this latest? I'm glad she's overstayed the 15 minutes.
Oh, please, please, please!!!
Actually they are in Covington, LA and the Algiers section of New Orleans. This posting is just the tip of the ice berg of what they have been doing since the hurricaine struck.

Keep talkin' moonbat. he he
My God! Has this woman no shame?
LOL. Wonder who wrote her script for this brain trust statement?
She should shuffle to the UK to join other America-haters Gwenith Paltrow, Coldplay front-turd Chris Martin, and thier daughter Rotten Apple.
I picked up on the same line as you....
My first thought was..."oh, she wouldn't let the people have the stuff unless is was insured, huh?"
I guess her generosity only goes just SO far!!! LOL
Sheehan (And Fonda + Galloway) needs a trip to North Korea.... Oh yea, I forgot, they would treat her as a state hero! She probably would like it too.
Her mind is obviously gone or she is so far left coast it is too late for her!
She begins to sound like Pelosi or Boxer,total fool !
She should obviously be ignored but the left
wing newsy's can't resist her for her radicalism !
She would be a great embarasment to any rational conservative group but in the bay area she isn't that
far out !
You should listen to some of these bay area or
UCLA prof's as they make their thinking and desires
for an ideal,to them ,America known .Absolute moonbeam
tin hat stuff !
One thing I do know...
After Cindy, Governor Blanco, Sen. Landrieu.....
it should be TOO hard (heaven help me), to use whether women have the wherewithal to be POSTUS....to use against Hitlery....in 2008!!!
I hate saying this, since I am a woman...but I will gladly be anti-woman for POTUS, if it keeps Clinton out of the White House...
Also, because of some stuff I have been reading that Condi has said lately....I am not on her bandwagon, either.
Cindy: "No more blood for beads!"
Sheehan is not a Christian. I heard she told the media she is "New Age"which is nothing more than pagan.
That is what all this "Blame Bush" is about.
Hey, leave Apple alone. You can critique Gwyneth and Martin, because Lord knows those two bimbos deserve it, but Apple's just a innocent baby.
She actually said that? I used to have some sympathy for her because she lost a son, but no more. She is nother more than a insane b***h who's feeding off her son's death to score political points and bash Bush. I wish she would just take a long walk off a VERY short pier.
