Protestors Unveil Monument Honoring Sheehan By ANGELA K. BROWN, Associated Press Writer 27 minutes ago
CRAWFORD, Texas - Anti-war demonstrators, back in Crawford to protest during President Bush's holiday vacation, unveiled a stone monument Friday with the words "Sheehan's Stand" in honor of the woman who inspired their efforts.

Cindy Sheehan, who staged a 26-day protest outside Bush's ranch in August, cried when she saw the 2-foot-high sandstone marker.
On the other side of the rectangular slab is the word "Why!" and names of more than two dozen soldiers whose families were part of the vigil. The name of Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Casey, is among them.
"Nobody knew what was going to happen, and we made up Camp Casey as we went along, and it grew and grew and grew," said Sheehan, of Berkeley, Calif. "We're here to say that the killing has to stop, that we're not going to justify any more killing on our losses."
The artist who carved the 1,200-pound monument, Ron Teska of Wind Ridge, Pa., drove to Crawford the last week of the protest with the stone slab in the back of his pickup. He spent about 45 hours carving it.
The marker was placed at the Crawford Peace House, which opened downtown a month after the war began in March 2003. An anti-war rally was planned for Saturday and an interfaith service Sunday.
Several Bush supporters also gathered in Crawford on Friday with a sign reading: "The price of freedom is not free." Hundreds were expected to attend a pro-Bush rally Saturday.
"I disagree with her claims that the president is a murderer and a liar," said James Vergauwen of Windthorst. "When you're at war, you need to be at war as a whole country and not as a divided country."

Is Angela Brown of the AP Cindy's free publicist. She must foam at the mouth at getting to write these stories.
There's a wasted week he'll never get back.
You too, eh?
there must be some tactics ....?
Hope he's hanging out with a hot babe over drinks, laughing out loud at Sheehan's spectacle.
Can't the moonbats at the AP even spell "protesters" correctly?
Hear audio: Cindy does not understand.

The first thing that came to my mind after seeing the sign was Custer's last stand and we know how that turned out. The same will happen to this train wreck.
Tactics? Yes, we take spray paint and spray big black CNN X's on her lovely monument. If it's good enough for VP Cheney, it's good enough for Cindy, don't you think? Of course, this is all in my dreams.
Ideally an Islamic suicide bomber will blow it up.
Well, you get to multi-tasking you know. Simultaneously Freeping, Eating Watching TV, petting a critter or two.
Was I really supposed to read it too?
That looks like it could hurt for a while,gonna leave a mark too.I'd like to know what she said in the preceeding minutes-she might have earned it.
I like that idea as long as the damage is confined to Camp Sheehan. This thing is a blight on the Texas landscape and can't be allowed to stand. My 76 year old mother wants to drive down from Dallas tomorrow and get rid of it!
The side throat welt tends to sting.
Luckily it did not hit her in the rear.
She would have suffered brain damage.
It's been reported that Mother Sheehan is older than 15...you'd never know it by her eloquence.
Just try to keep the animal hair out of the food.
