Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan announced Monday she is giving up her role as the "face" of the American anti-war movement.
Sheehan, 49, of Vacaville, Calif., lost her 24-year-old son Casey in Iraq on April 4, 2004. She has since emerged as one of the most vocal and high-profile opponents of the war, drawing international attention nearly two years ago when she camped outside President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch to protest the war.
"I am going to take whatever I have left and go home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to regain some of what I have lost," Sheehan said.

Not me. She's not much different than any other sociopath--she cared (and cares) only for herself and her cause of the moment. She threw aside her family, she spit (allegorically at least) on her son's grave, and she did her best to hurt grieving families of other fallen troops.
I will have more sympathy if and when she apologizes to a lot of people for what she's done, AND when she makes amends in a significant way.
Yep, if these are really her words, it sounds as though she has finally become disillusioned and has seen the dims for what they are. Imagine the shock of realizing she was just a liberal creation. Has to be tough on the self esteem.
I doubt she’s analyzed anything or come to any realization except the cash got cut off.
I think, too, that she was told in no uncertain terms to buzz off. But OTOH, it is possible some tiny little light bulb somewhere in her tiny brain started to flicker.
As I’ve said: been there, done that. It’s actually good for the self esteem.
I suspect she has been cut off.
Se really believed that she would be some sort of world mover and shaker. A respected paragon of Peace and Virtue like Jimmah Cahtah (heavy heavy sarcasm there). She is just too stupid to realize that she was only useful when her ridiculous rants were more or less focus’d against the president.
Once she started throwing her verbal feces at her cage mates the fame money and photo ops dried up. Boo hoo.
I Understand your doubt. I also understand the process she claims to have gone through to get where she says she is, (See my quote from her at post # 59) and think that kind of thinking should be encouraged.
“Raise children”????? I assumed her kids would be all grown up! Whose been raising them while that hag has been running around the world trashing the U.S. & Pres. Bush?
“Useful Idiots” like Cindy (and condoms) are quickly discarded after they have been used to screw someone.
Their dad. Thank goodness they had one sane parent.
In the end, yes. To break away from the pure evil of the crowd she has been running with would be so liberating.

Ms. Sheehan don’t let the door hit you on the way out - and please STFU!! :)
