> Cindy Sheehan would have been better served herself, as well as honoring the memory of her son, if she had chosen a more constructive and healthy outlet for her grief.
I agree with you. She has sown to the wind and is reaping the whirlwind as a result of her choices. And there is perhaps some justice to that.
I find more reprehensible the cynical manipulation of Cindy Sheehan by the media and by the left: they, at least, were in full command of their faculties, they knew what they were doing, and they rode the Cindy bandwagon for their own cynical ends for as long as it suited them to do so.
Cindy Sheehan at least has some modicum of excuse: grief has made her upstairs do the bolt. The media and the left have no such excuse. Theirs was a cold-blooded deliberate act, whereas I believe her motivations are fair game for debate.
Grieving Mums should sometimes be cut some slack. Media and Politicians should never.

Unfortunately, in this country, the media and the radical left have never been reticent about using (abusing) anyone as long as it advances their agenda. They are about political power and do not let personal issues and human emotions interfere with their drive to capture and hold power. Very much Marxist-Stalinist in that sense.
