While millions of the world's Christian's spent Good Friday reaffirming their belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ by somberly observing the Stations of the Cross rite commemorating his crucifixion as an act of faith, anti-American activist Cindy Sheehan, who renounced her Catholic faith and belief in Christ in the wake of the combat death in Iraq two years ago this month of her son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, paraded through Crawford, Texas yesterday carrying a large wooden cross on her shoulder as part of an anti-Iraq war protest targeting President Bush in his home town.
Sheehan, who has earned a reputation as a media hound without grace or dignity, sunk to a new low yesterday as an apostate trying to pimp the crucifixion of Jesus in the furtherance of her political ambitions.
As reported less than one month ago in the mainstream press, Sheehan abandoned her faith in Jesus for some universalist clap trap:
Sheehan has been severed from much of her old life -- or she has severed it herself. Her marriage, her job, her home. Loss of most of her friends, whom she cannot forgive for voting to re-elect Bush. Loss of her Catholic faith (a former youth pastor, she has abandoned Christianity and envisions a universal spiritual creator.)
Sheehan and her Marxist handlers realize, however, that most Americans profess Christian faith. Therefore they prey on that majority sentiment by using Christian imagery by erecting rows of crosses denoting soldiers killed in the Iraq war and by having Cindy mock Jesus' crucifixion while wearing an Impeach Bush t-shirt.
I'll make sure I either provide them with a link to this post or tell them just what you told me. ;)
Not only do I remember her moonbat crazy stuff, I've saved much of it. Separate folder.
Librarian by default.
Also have many funny photos.
Sad to see her other children be humiliated by her.
I see her daughter showed up recently. Read her poem.
Cannot imagine what Casey, the soldier, would think.
This one is going to be tough for Cindy to explain on Judgement Day.
Hey Cindy, kewl prayer beads!
I really like that one with the symbol of the quartering of
the universe into unequal parts, it's so democrat like.
Nice bottle of French Sparkling Holy water too.
Just you watch--this freakoid will have a big time job in the hitlery admin.
She hasn't always been honest about his re-enlistment.
- Cindy Lies, Casey Cries -
It seems to be rubbing off on one of her daughters...
Sheehan's daughter visits Crawford war protest camp
ANGELA K. BROWN
Associated Press
CRAWFORD, Texas - Cindy Sheehan's oldest daughter joined her Saturday for the first time at a war protest near President Bush's ranch.
Carly Sheehan, 25, a student at the University of California at Davis, read a poem she wrote after her older brother Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004.
"Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave? They say that he died so the flag will continue to wave. But I believe he died because they had oil to save," she read to the crowd of more than 300 people under a large tent on a private one-acre lot.
Bush was spending Easter at Camp David.

By David Swanson
UPDATE 6:25 PM ET: I just spoke to Cindy Sheehan and Ann Wright. Fourteen were arrested and are still being held, including Daniel Ellsberg and Dede Miller (Cindy's sister). Cindy and Ann chose to not be arrested, and to run the camp. Seven of the 14 arrested had also been arrested for the same charge previously and have been demanding a day in court to test the law. They may all be released this evening around 6,7,or 8 p.m. CT, on bail plus a $30 administrative fee each. Listen to Cindy on the Peter B Collins show, with Brad Friedman. Here's a video.
_________
Barbara Cummings just phoned from outside Bush's ranch in Carwford, Texas, to say that she and about 14 others, including Cindy Sheehan, are about to be arrested for trespassing. They had set up four tents in the same location where Cindy originally was stopped last August. there is a county ordinance against trespassing. The police gave them a 10 minute warning several minutes ago. Arrests are about to happen. Updates will be posted as we can get them.

The Vigil : 26 Days In Crawford, Texas (All Access) (Paperback)
by W. Leon Smith, Cindy Sheehan (Foreword)
List Price: $9.95
Turning her attention from Iraq to Iran, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan insists the U.S. has no justification for any kind of military response to the emerging nuclear threat from Iran, which today declared it successfully has enriched uranium.
Writing in the left-wing Buzzflash.com, Sheehan said that after a war in Iraq, President Bush, the “swaggering imbecile of a ‘leaker in chief’ has the nerve to be trying to sell all of us on a new war in Iran.”
“Do the warped neocons with their puppet president think that we are all stupid? Fool us once, shame on us, fool us, — well, we just can’t be fooled again,” she writes.
Iran announced today it has enriched uranium for the first time, a major development in its plan to develop nuclear fuel. A story in the New Yorker by journalist Seymour Hersh, quoting anonymous sources, indicated the White House is preparing contingency plans that include the possibility of using nuclear bunker-buster bombs to take out Iranian underground facilities.
Sheehan said the U.S. possession of nuclear weapons is “crazy, but talking about deploying them is sheer insanity.”
She fears this could lead to a world war.
“With all of the ‘Left Behind’ religious fanatics praying for Armageddon, this thought is made even scarier by the fake believers in the White House who are exploiting the neo-Christian idea that Jesus was a war monger and anything our great leader does is okay, because he is a Christian man!” she declares.
The U.S. also “must not even, for one moment, contemplate a conventional invasion in Iran either,” she said. “No matter how George Bush lies about how rosy things are in Iraq, they aren’t, and Iraq is proof that war of any kind is a horribly tragic way to solve problems.”
She said the U.S. “must elect leaders that will get at the root causes of terrorism and not pretend that every terrorist can ever be killed to satisfy some kind of primeval bloodlust that flows through the war machine’s veins.”
“When our leaders go terrorist hunting,” she said, “they kill innocent men, women and children and they, themselves, become the very thing that they are trying to teach us to loathe.”

Sheehan breaks silence, attacks her critics in latest blog
By Julie Kay/The Reporter, Vacaville
After months of remaining silent on the issue, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan lashed out this week at critics who charge that her son's grave lacks a proper marker. In her blog on Monday, Sheehan, formerly of Vacaville, defended not placing a tombstone on the grave of her son Casey, who was killed in Iraq two years ago.
"I am so tired of the Rovian, heartless and ignorant smear machine attacking me and my family at every turn of my back," wrote Sheehan, who moved to Berkeley last year. "I am sure every last person who has a problem with this has buried a child and they know what we are going through."

Sheehan's daughter visits Crawford war protest camp
ANGELA K. BROWN
Associated Press
CRAWFORD, Texas - Cindy Sheehan's oldest daughter joined her Saturday for the first time at a war protest near President Bush's ranch.
Carly Sheehan, 25, a student at the University of California at Davis, read a poem she wrote after her older brother Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004.
"Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave? They say that he died so the flag will continue to wave. But I believe he died because they had oil to save," she read to the crowd of more than 300 people under a large tent on a private one-acre lot.
Bush was spending Easter at Camp David.
Cindy Sheehan said Casey's death has been hard on her three surviving children.
"That's too much to ask of anybody to adjust to that," Cindy Sheehan said. "But now, they have to adjust to the fact that their mom is always gone. But they know that they are sacrificing and we are sacrificing to bring the troops home and to make sure it never happens again."
Sheehan started the protest near Bush's ranch in August, drawing thousands, and returned for another vigil the week of Thanksgiving. Bush was at his ranch both of those times, and protesters returned this week because Bush has spent every Easter since he was elected at the ranch except this one.
Earlier Saturday, the rally was briefly interrupted by about 100 Bush supporters driving by on motorcycles, including one carrying a lifesize cardboard cutout of Bush, and seven people on horseback holding American and Texas flags.
"Peace ain't free," Bob McDonald, whose horse had the message "Cindy go home" written on its hindquarters," angrily told about a dozen of the protesters who stood at the edge of the camp, holding their fingers in the "V" peace symbol. "I stand up for what I believe. I don't like war, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do."
Some returned to a pro-Bush camp set up in downtown Crawford by a souvenir shop. Other Bush supporters and their children also gathered at a park and had an Easter egg roll similar to one at the White House.
