'Peace Mom' visits West Hawaii
West Hawaii Today ^ | Tuesday, April 25, 2006 8:25 AM HST | Kim Eaton

Her message has not changed.

It has been the same since her son Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan was killed in Iraq in April 2004 and since she camped outside of President George W. Bush's Texas ranch in August 2005.

It has been the same at every speaking engagement across the country, including the Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu Monday night.

"This war is based on lies ... this war is wrong," Cindy Sheehan said to a crowd of about 300 people. "My son should still be alive. The tens of thousands of Iraqis and the almost 2,400 American soldiers should still be alive."

"I really respect what this lady is doing," said veteran Richard Stevens. "Martin Luther King Jr. said 'Ultimately you have to take a stand,' and that's really what she's doing. Dissent is not treason. Veterans went to war to protect that freedom of dissent. You have to respect that dissent ... If enough people get behind it, won't it change something? Won't it force some kind of change?"

Prof. Richard Stevens is a dear friend of mine , a 3 tours Vietnam vet , prominent in developing and maintaining our local Veterans Cemetery , and an all around good guy. A published author and university professor. I have talked to him again and again about not supporting this Sheehan person , but as you can see here , to no avail. As I am not a vet , perhaps some good hearted Vietnam vets would care to write a true compatriot and discus with him the error of his ways in supporting Jane Fonda's hand picked successor , Miss Sheehan . rlsteven@hawaii.edu I am totally at a loss for how to reach the true and patriotic heart of my good friend again after reading this quote from last night here. Thanks very much in advance!

"Dissent is not treason."

She is a raving self serving nut that is encouraging the enemy to continue the fight and get more young people like her son killed. She is a dangerous fool who is only causing the war to go on longer.

I don't know, but it sickens me that she's getting to enjoy an exotic vacation tour to spew her bile. Sheehan is the white female version of Jesse Jackson.... (and I apologize to all white females)

First off who is paying for this "Peace Mom"/Moonbat Tour? Is she is recieving money from a foreign govt to speak against the US? She was in Argentina and Cuba can we keep her from re-entering the US next time she leaves? If we can keep a Supermodel out for fighting on a plane, why can't we keep a Anti US crazed moonbat out?

I doubt anyone can change your friends mind. It is sad considering just how many families disagree with the woman.

the sad thing is , good people are actually listening to her message and being moved and changed by it and getting on board her cuckoo train .
My pal for instance ! I can hardly believe it!
3 tours in Nam , and straight up , stand up ever since...
How does one suddenly start admiring Jane Fonda's hand picked
successor after all that??? It just don't add up...I'm bummed

Hawaii embraces Cindy just as they did Ward Churchill awhile back. Can't get any more Left than the Hawaiian Islands.

Who paid for this Hawaiian vacation for Shindy? I'd love to get my hands on some of that cash. My car needs gas.

It's very hard to explain to those that were not affected by my war. Some of my Bros are so determined that this country doesn't send another 58,000 men to die for nothing that they forget that this is a just war and worth fighting.

All considered your friend is flat-a$$ wrong. I could never side with the trash that welcomed me home.

Vet or not, he's gone over to the dark side. Sheehan is willingly being pimped out to those who seek the death of more troops hoping it will result in America's defeat.

Stevens is complicit in their deaths.

There's an AP story about enemy combatants picked up on the battlefield who are claiming a "right to resistance", a idea that Sheehan's handlers have endorsed in both the Beirut Communique and the "Declaration of Conscience" of the World Tribunal on Iraq. And in the WTI, they added that the resistance is allowed "acts of desperation". So blowing up that car bomb next to a school bus is OK.

Prof Richard Stevens is a baby killer.

She's greatly facilitated but a doubt it's a big payday for her. The book deals aren't worth much when you can't really sell any books. She's speaking to 100-300 people in small audiences. She's in the hands of a cult. And they are ripping her off like many cults do their followers.

They've put her out on tour as the "angry mom", which keeps her stuck in that stage of grieving. That's how she gets her strokes. And some of the worst things she's said are applause lines constructed based her knowing their particular beliefs.
