Cindy Sheehan uses insurance money from son's death

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- War protesters will have a new and bigger gathering place when they return in August to President Bush's adopted hometown: a 5-acre lot bought with insurance money Cindy Sheehan received after her son was killed in Iraq.

Gerry Fonseca, a fellow war protester who acted as Sheehan's agent, said he recently bought the vacant lot about a mile from downtown Crawford -- and about 7 miles from Bush's ranch -- for $52,500. About half the land is pasture, and the other half is woods, he said.

"If Cindy Sheehan came to town, I don't think anybody would have sold her any property," Fonseca, of Eagle Rock, Missouri, said Thursday.

Sheehan, of Berkeley, California, reinvigorated the anti-war movement last summer with her peace vigil, which started in ditches off the road to Bush's ranch. As it grew, the group also set up its protests on a private, 1-acre lot closer to the ranch.

I hope they have land use laws or Crawford is screwed. You can pack a bunch of smelly hippies on 5 acres.

Sounds pretty desperate to me.

She will clearly go into the Liberal Loon Hall of Fame, along with other notables such as Gore, Kennedy, Kerry, Carter, Clinton, Dean and other reality-deficient hard leftists.

Makes you wonder ... if President Bush relocates, would she follow him wherever he goes? What Hell!

Discount any source which refers to her, even in quotes, as 'Peace Mom.' (ignoring the recursive nature of this post however:))

Perfect time for one of those famous Texas brush fires.

Got a match?

We need to name Cindy's new spread.

• Casey's Tombstone?
• Disgraceland?
• The Western Outhouse?
• The Chicken Ranch?

She's really beginning to sound like a crazy stalker.

"Peace mom".

lol.  The names the Left comes up with are sooo laughable.

Poor Laura . . . she must be devastated that such a hottie moved so close!

How will she ever keep Dubya on the ranch with that vision of loveliness and feminine grace so near at hand?

[Howlin]

Okay, let me dive right in.

$52,000? Insurance money she got from the government?

How much is the death benefit for a military death?

And didn't we read somewhere that her husband got half that death benefit?

So I guess we can assume that her son's grave now has a proper marker since she obviously has cash to spare?

I think eminent domain should come in handy in this case.
