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)
Your blog is really catching on. Congrats!
I doubt it. The MSM knows to turn its cameras off everytime one of their darlings embraces terrorists. They'll go back to covering her once she goes back to the ditch and lets other, more experienced, people go her talking for her
LMAO...possibly
Thanks.
