Mother Who Lost Son in Iraq Continues Fight Against War (Sheehan Demands Hillary Say Iraq War a Lie)
NY Times ^ | September 19, 2005 | MARC SANTORA

Posted on 09/19/2005 6:30:58 PM PDT by Anti-Bubba182

Cindy Sheehan, the mother of an American soldier killed in Iraq, last night brought her campaign to end the war to New York, where she accused Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of not doing enough to challenge the Bush administration's Iraq policies.

Speaking in front of more than 500 supporters in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Ms. Sheehan, speaking of Senator Clinton, said, "She knows that the war is a lie but she is waiting for the right time to say it."

Then, as the crowd cheered, she issued a challenge to Senator Clinton, saying, "You say it or you are losing your job."

A spokesman for Senator Clinton, while not commenting about Ms. Sheehan's remarks, said that the senator, while voting to give President Bush the authority to go to war, has been very critical of the way he has chosen to use that authority....."

They showed the clip of Sheehan saying this on O'Reilly tonight. Sheehan is demented to go against HRC this way. Democratic consultant Mary Ann Marsh on the program distanced herself while OReilly chuckled.

Sheehan is enjoying her 15 minutes.

She just stepped into a world of hurt - media blackout, and "cousin Vinnie" coming to call in the wee hours.

Interesting that the NYT saw fit to describe her that way in the headline as opposed to simply saying "Cindy Sheehan Continues ..." All part of the Cindy makeover to get her back front-and-center? I wonder if the good people of NO have said "we'll keep the soldiers, thank you very much."

I was forwarded an email about Cindy claiming she did not have a hand in raising her son. He was raised by his father and stepmother and they were very proud of him and were supportive of the war in Iraq. It claimed Cindy was not very involved in his life....Has anyone else seen this information or is it more Internet BS

Don't you know it, Mo1!


I say, c'mon Cindy! You need more and more speaking engagements...and while you are at it, what about Kerry, he voted for the war also...and McCain, and Biden (he wants MORE troops in Iraq)....

Yeppers, we will get her to bash every single candidate!!! and smear the Democratic Party all over while she is doing it.

Did you see that twit Mary Ann Marsh on O'Reilly tonight?

"..All part of the Cindy makeover to get her back front-and-center?.."

It can't work if she insists on anointing the Third rail in this way. Sheehan is too much of a nutbar to last. All she draws to her cause are left wing extremists and hucksters looking to score.

That's not true ..

That rumor started because of another mom that was on Bill O'Reilly's show when Cindy bailed out on the interview

Cindy and her husband have been together up till June 1st when they separated

I think Casey was a brass-balled warrior, and his mother was ashamed of the fact that he loved the army. She wishes she'd raised a lithium-downing, therapy loving, 90s-style goth/punk/grunge/loser freak instead of a straight-edged American hero.

I don't think it, I know it.

Just thinking the same thing. She's now crossed the line with the lefties. The Hitllary attack dogs will soon be sent in. Soon this SHe-ham person will be just a distant, desperate, pleading, whisper,saying......''But you liked me, you really liked me...what happened?.........

I got the same email. I don't know if it is true or not. I suspect we will not hear this from the MSM.
