Cindy Sheehan to Appear at Communist Newspaper Banquet in Chicago, Dec. 4, 2005
Thursday, December 1, 2005 | Kristinn

Anti-American activist Cindy Sheehan is scheduled to appear at a banquet held by the communist newspaper People's Weekly World on December 4 in Chicago.

People's Weekly World says it is a direct descendent of The Daily Worker. The paper descibes itself with these words: The PWW is known for its partisan coverage. We take sides — for truth and justice. We are partisan to the working class, racially and nationally oppressed peoples, women, youth, seniors, international solidarity, Marxism and socialism. We enjoy a special relationship with the Communist Party USA, founded in 1919, and publish its news and views.

Sheehan will be joining fellow Gold Star Families for Peace member Juan Torres, who is being honored at the banquet.

Others being honored by the Communists include, "Chicago Jobs with Justice director James Thindwa, the heroic striking workers at the Congress Hotel and the Southwest Youth Collaborative. Judith Le Blanc, United for Peace and Justice national co-chair, will deliver the banquet keynote. "

Cindy Sheehan, called 'Peace Mom' by the mainstream media, has been involved with Marxist revolutionaries since shortly after her son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq in April, 2004. Sheehan blames President Bush for her son's death, while calling foreigner terrorists in Iraq "freedom fighters."

Last summer, TV political talk show host Chris Matthews encouraged Sheehan to run for Congress.

I wonder if Cindy will allow wire service photographers in after the Crawford booksigning fiasco.

This is just too easy. Comment not necessary. But I will.

Holiday Gathering.

I would love to have a sign there "303 to 3".

"Friends of Hillary fundraiser"

I would pay money just to be in the crowd and observe. However, it would be very difficult to "shut up".

We have pictures of her with her communist friends from the San Francisco "World Can't Wait anti-war event,a November 2 celebration of George Bush's re-election. This rally was put on by the Revolutionary Communist Party and she was a key speaker. Here is the link:

Part one shows pictures of participants and literature being promoted.

Perhaps some of our picture people could post a few of these along with Comrade C on the stage and afterward being chummy with her friends.

I suspect she is too dumb to even understand what she is doing. She probably thinks it's the WEEKLY WORLD NEWS and she is going to meet the alien that met with Bush and Clinton.

I cannot find it in my heart to sympathize with this woman. However since I am not a woman, it may not be possible.

Women are odd creatures, different than men in ways I can't comprehend. Perhaps her grief is real, and she is just a poster girl. Grieving is a task born to women.

Still, I don't like her, or the creeps that use her.

I think the love affair is dying out. My guess is that the MSM may start looking for a more low keyed antiwar family. She has started to complain about them and they may start outing her a bit more often. Hopefully.
