As we all know, the professional peace-loving Mother Sheehan is all for murder and mayhem for a good cause.
And a good cause for her is anything or anyone who is against the United States.
In this photo released by Venezuela's Miraflores Press, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez embraces visiting U.S. peace activist Cindy Sheehan, left, whose son was killed in Iraq, and Elma Beatriz Rosado, the widow of slain Puerto Rican nationalist Filiberto Ojeda Rios during his national broadcast 'Hello President' in Caracas, Venezuela, Sunday, Jan. 29, 2006. All three joined in condemning the government of U.S. President George W. Bush.
Who is this hero, Filiberto Ojeda Ríos, you might ask?
Well, he's a murdering terrorist, of course.
Don't just take our word for it. Even the left-leaning Wikipedia sayeth so:
Filiberto Ojeda Ríos
Filiberto Ojeda Ríos (April 26, 1933 – September 23, 2005) was the "Responsible General" of the Boricua Popular Army, or Ejército Popular Boricua – Los Macheteros, a clandestine paramilitary, organization, considered by United States law enforcement agencies to be a terrorist organization, based on the island of Puerto Rico, with branches throughout the United States and other countries. Los Macheteros is an ultra-minority political group that campaigns, supports, and promotes the independence of Puerto Rico through violent means from what they characterize as an oppressive U.S. colonial rule they claim has lasted 107 years.
Ojeda Ríos was wanted as a fugitive by the FBI for his role in the 1983 Wells Fargo depot robbery in West Hartford, Connecticut, as well as a bail bond default in September 1990.
After years of hiding, Ojeda Ríos was killed on September 23, 2005 when members of the FBI surrounded his clandestine house in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico. The FBI operation has raised questions both inside and outside Puerto Rico. (See Death and FBI Operation Below)
Ojeda Ríos death has caused pockets of mourning and some protests among the Puerto Rican Independence movement. [1] Members of the statehood movement and supporters of the Commonwealth also criticized the Federal and local management of this incident, and have raised questions about the circumstances that led to his death.Charges against him
1. Act of Domestic Terrorism
2. Aggravated Robbery (1985)
3. Aggravated Robbery of Federally Insured Bank Funds (1985)
4. Armed Robbery (1985)
5. Bond Default (1990)
6. Conspiracy to Interfere With Commerce By Robbery (1985)
7. Foreign And Interstate Transportation Of Stolen Money (1985)
Wow! The MSM has dropped her like a hot potato.
The latest Sheehannigans.
..????...dammmm see's looking like bonnie prince charles more and more..
I've never had a picture literally bring bile up before. Words can't describe...

Casey must be spinning in his grave.
The State Department needs to seriously consider detaining this traitor when she tries to re-enter the country.
Cindy has three huge problems: One, her son's death happened overseas, not in front of her. (Horrible as it sounds, and I apologize for saying it, but if a terrorist murdered her son in the living room she might connect the dots.) Two, she's dumb as dirt. Three, she's a narcissist who's found her audience. She doesn't care if they're using her. She's a celebrity, they even fund overseas trips! She'll never recover.
Wow, she's met more terrorists than anybody I can think of.
Her son must be so proud.
The Senate should declare a "Filiberto" on Mother Sheehan...
Dont let the ugly skank back in the US.
Hey Dave Letterman. How do you like Cindy now? And you know what I'm talking about.
God, she gets uglier by the second. It's amazing that an American hero came from a nasty pig like that.

Notable acts / incidents
1970s
In January 2, 1977 one day after Carlos Romero Barcelo, a statehood advocate, was sworn in as Governor of Puerto Rico, two bombs were placed at an ROTC building in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The bombs were successfully destroyed by the police, but the Macheteros took responsibility for the incident.
In August 1978 they murdered San Juan police officer Julio Rodriguez Rivera while attempting to steal his police car for use in a terrorist attack.
In 1979, two attacks were made on unarmed US Navy sailors. In the first, on December 3rd, Macheteros opened fire on a bus carrying sailors, killing CTO1 John R. Ball and RM3 Emil E. White as well as wounding nine. A second attack, on off-duty sailors returning from liberty, killed one and wounded three. The attack was in retaliation for the murder in a prison of a member of the macheteros by the prison guards who were retired marine soldiers.
1980s
In a January 1981 attack, Machetero commandos infiltrated a Puerto Rican Air National Guard base and blew up 11 planes, causing approximately $45 million in damages.
However, their most famous act (likely because it took place in the continental U.S., and it directly dealt with money) was a Wells Fargo depot robbery of approximately $7 million in West Hartford, Connecticut (USA) on September 12, 1983. The group's code name for the robbery was "White Eagle" (or "Águila Blanca" in Spanish).
After the robbery, the Macheteros threw some of the stolen money into the air from high floor buildings and kept the remaining sum to fund their continued operations of robbery and violence. According to a written statement from the Macheteros, the action was a symbolic protest against the "greed-infested men and mechanisms which strain our elected officials, government agencies, and social aspirations in this country, as well as in Puerto Rico." Allegedly, several million dollars were sent to Cuba, most likely to fund the purchase of more weapons and explosives for bombs.
Under Puerto Rican, U.S., and international laws the act was considered as terrorist due to the way it was executed and the experience suffered by the Wells Fargo security guards.
The United States FBI charges for this robbery include: Aggravated Robbery, Aggravated Robbery of Federally Insured Bank Funds, Armed Robbery, and Conspiracy to Interfere With Commerce By Robbery.
See also: White Eagle: the Wells Fargo depot robbery.
1990s
In the 1990s Los Macheteros claimed responsibility on a bomb explosion that occurred in a small power station in the Puerto Rican metropolitan area. The explosion damages left some Puerto Ricans without electricity.
In that same decade, the group also vandalized a new fleet of government vans and trucks that were parked in a government facility. The damages left the automobiles non-operative.

We often forget that Cindy has living children.
Doesn't say who Rios murdered.
Not that it makes any difference.
Part of Sheehan's unattractiveness is that she looks so male. She looks like a tranny of some kind. She looks unnatural.
I bet them MSM doesn't run this entire picture. Probably will crop it.
Cindy Sheehan's family must be so proud. /sarcasm
