When Cindy Sheehan became a celebrity for her "peace" vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch in 2005, the antiwar left hailed her as a heroine. A DailyKos.com blogger anointed her "'Mother Sheehan,' . . . the bringer of life who has been wronged by state power." A mainstream media columnist proclaimed that "the moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute." Even before Mrs. Sheehan became a media darling, minority House Democrats called her as a witness at a June 2005 hearing about Britain's so-called Downing Street Memos.

Well, she's their problem now. On Wednesday members of the new House majority tried to hold a press conference to discuss their legislative priorities, but a group of hecklers, led by Mrs. Sheehan and chanting, "De-escalate, investigate, troops home now," forced Representative Rahm Emanuel to shut it down....

She is an outright anti-American activist, who has called the U.S. a "morally repugnant system," said that "this country is not worth dying for,"

See, this is why torpedoes had TMDs, back in the 80s. So the weapon you launch doesn't lock onto YOU as its target.

I fully expect Mother Sheehan to get in line behind the DIMS or vice-versa before too long!!

Both [her & Dims] are America hating scum and there isn't much of a difference between them.

I wanted to go through 2007 without having to see, hear about, or read this stupid b-tch in the news.

I mean, what in the hell does she even bring to anyone worth watching, or reading?

I will go and wash my hands now!

Goooooooooood grief!

Just remember everyone that if we pull out of Iraq and terrorist bombings start taking place in the USA the blood will firmly be on the hands of Sheehan, the Democrats, and all the Anti-War activists.

It will be THEIR fault!!!!

Doesn't the picture of Mother Sheehan look like the humans in "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" after they took their masks off?
