She's "nothing more than a hysterical, brainless woman," reader Michael Velikin wrote. The type who would be declared a witch or delirious in another era. Of course "now we know more about women's cycles and menopause, we're more sympathetic to their behavior."
And the name-calling escalated from there.
Sheehan is just angry at her dead son for being a grown-up who supported the war, Michael Modes said. Now she's just another celebrity intoxicated by her reflection in the TV mirror. He doubts that, if she could, Sheehan would trade her fame in to have her son back alive, Leonard Giaccone accused.
And several among the 200 or more e-mailers and callers commenting on Wednesday's column charged that Sheehan had no right to mourn her son so publicly since she was a "bad mother" whose ex-husband raised her son more than she did.
To Howard York of Sequim, being a non-custodial mom exposes Sheehan as "a fraud so far as the bleeding is concerned and (she) is using the loss only for political leverage."

Traitor and Anti America Pal Hugo.
Oh this is good!!!!!
"Your article made my heart hurt! How can you, as an American, side with the likes of anti-Americans who demean our country and military by criticizing our president at a TIME OF WAR?" Fran Griffin demanded.
John Hession of Redmond was the most succinct. "There is another T-word for Ms. Sheehan -- traitor," he said.

Well, people without a full deck need attention, too!
All this time I'd never heard that. Her son (forgot his name, isn't that pathetic?) lived with his dad?
That line about "women's cycles" reminded me about why they call it PMS - because "Mad Cow Disease" was already taken!
Actually, as far as the loss of her son, I think most of us are probably more sorry about that than she is. She seems to have just found that ball dropped into her lap, so she ran with it.
Saw a car magnet sign that was hilarious -- it was the standard ribbon shape that we've all seen for everything, it was solid black with white bold block lettering, said -- SOME SHEEHAN STOLE MY "WE SUPPORT THE TROOPS" MAGNET
Just another one of the ever growing members of the Freak Show surrounding me that people used to pay to see in cages when the side show came to town! I'm out numbered so I'm heading for the hills!
How can she let herself be used this way ?
Cindy looks so happy...it looks like the beginning signs of a romance.
They did make a "lovely" couple, didn't they??
Of course Jesse Jackson might get jealous...remember the picture of her hugging his back last year? who-hoo!!
It seems to me that school teachers capture that market of liberalism. Probably because they have no common sense, never took an Economics class, or Accounting, Finance or Marketing. Never had to COMPETE in Free Enterprise system.
She has dishonored their dead son.
That love has come and gone. Cindy is like Kerry, she goes for the top gun, and Chavez is the president/dictator of a country, so she left Jesse for him.
Do you mean the 'Stuck on Stupid' one? It was great.
