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."
I support the right of ALL Americans to make 'fools' of themselves, if that's their desire:-) This misguided and lost 'female' is the leading the race for 'fool of the year'.
Her 15 minutes have been up long ago
It just hit me like an Israeli Bulldozer! Not since Rachel Corrie has the left had a "woman on the street" as venomous as this forked tongue devil. May she meet, if not the same fate, lets just say the fate she deserves.
"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."
Nice to qualify it with 'insured'. As long as SHE wouldn't lose any money, who cares right? If it's her own stuff though..
I thought she was dating the homo Marine reject.
Was this woman an absolutely delusional nut case before her son died?
Note the careful qualification of being insured. IOW, since somebody else would have to pay for it anyway, take it all! That is a succinct little embodiment of the liberal mindset.

Casey was most definitely raised by his Father and Stepmother who are proud and humbled by his sacrifice.

Our military intervention in New Orleans is a quagmire. Thousands are dead, there is growing resistance from Democrat holdouts and media insurgents, and Nagin and Blanco have still not been captured.
/surely I don't have to.
The Media that helped create and encourage this "celebrity" has now moved on to other momentary fascinations and now ignores her even as she decends further into madness. To quote an old line from a saner time: "She is more to be pitied than censured".
"the borders are open, freedom fighters from other countries are going in"...
I think she's talking about Iraq here; her thoughts are a rambling stream.
Ah yes, I believe you're right.
..the troops would not like Cindy.

That was the whole idea ----
and will the MSM ever report this story ? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hey, I'm a veteran Freeper and would add value to my rants!
If she hates this country, why the he.. doesn't she leave. Hateful piece of humanity.
