Cindy Sheehan Buys Property in Crawford, Seller Feels Deceived
National Ledger ^ | 07/31/06 | Brad Butler

Desperately trying to re-capture her media darling status of August 2005 Cindy Sheehan has purchased a 5-acre parcel in Crawford, Texas using supporter, Gerry Fonseca to seal the deal.

Fonseca says he purchased the 5-acre parcel, which cost more than $52,000. The owner would not have sold the land if it was known it was to be used by Sheehan for political purposes reports KXXV-TV on its web site.

According to the AP, Fonseca also admits he doubts that any Crawford landowner would have sold to Sheehan or other protesters, so he didn't reveal his connection. Fonseca, who lost his Slidell, La., home in Hurricane Katrina, told sellers about that part of his life and that he wanted to build.

Basically - he admits he lied.

"I feel deceived," said Celia Ramsey, who sold the land to Cindy Sheehan through a third party. She talked to News Channel 25 exclusively on the matter. "I would have never sold it to Sheehan. Nobody wants them here."

***

That seems to be the consensus.

AP reports like many folks in President Bush's adopted hometown, 83-year-old Robert Westerfield isn't exactly rolling out the welcome mat for the town's newest resident: war protester Cindy Sheehan.

"I wish she'd stay away. Crawford's a Republican town, and she's a dumb Democrat," Westerfield, a lifelong Crawford resident, said Friday while sitting on a bench outside a gas station on Main Street.

***

Sheehan cares little about the residents of Crawford and their peace.

She just wants President Bush out of office and her face plastered all over TV and her name in the press. "I am very sad it came to this point where we had to buy a permanent home," said Sheehan. "I thought President Bush would have resigned by now. But I am happy about a permanent home in Crawford."

So - she lied to buy the property and will again force the residents of Crawford to deal with her far left gang of protestors for at least a month, or perhaps less if world events cause her lapdogs in the media to ignore her.

It should be interesting to see if the media has tired of her act.

The media is part of her act.

She will only be there is the media is there. Without the cameras she doesn't exist.

Give them a Texas summer and they'll be ready to leave.

Theres no gourmet food, no Starbucks, no fern bars.
You need your friends and neighbors in rural Texas.

I wish they would arrest her and this time make her stay in jail. The thing I don't understand is - didn't this guy know about Cindy before he sold her the land? She was out there for a long time with her nutjobs. Couldn't he figure out what she wanted the land for?

Somebody needs to buy the mineral rights to the property and put oil rigs all over it...

"But I am happy about a permanent home in Crawford."

It will only be "permanent" until after the 2008 elections. Look for a "For Sale" sign on Wednesday. I just hope Fonseca either can't sell it, or he loses money on the deal.

Or they can round up all those rattlers and leave her and her guests a "welcome to the Neighborhood" present.

Momma was tired of all the neurology docs coming into her hospital room to interview and test her (she had a rare thymic carcinoma, or a "fascinoma"). Especially the latest - a bow-tied, brusque, who made much of his former job at "Haahvaad."

So, the answer to the question, "Name all the animals you can think of":

"Dogs, cats, elephants, lions, bears, tigers, horses, jackasses, and Democrats."

Where does Cindy reside? I mean, where is the home she lived in when Casey was alive? And where does her husband and relatives live...I think it's time to give her a piece of her own medicine. Although they're innocent...she needs to know how her actions effect everyone. And we need to wipe that smirk off her face.

Hopefully, when the media disappears and her star fades, she will be unable to sell her plot of land because no one will buy it.
