Days after Cindy Sheehan announced she was stepping down as the face of the anti-war movement, a pro-troop organization said Friday it plans to buy her protest site outside President Bush's ranch.
But Sheehan doesn't want to sell to just anyone.
"It'll be a cold day in hell before she sells it to them," her sister, Dede Miller, told The Associated Press. "She'll sell it to them for $5 million."
Move America Forward wants to place a monument to the troops on the 5-acre site in Crawford, about 100 miles south of Fort Worth.
"There's definitely symbolism behind being able to take that land and being able to put up a monument that supports our troops," said Robert Dixon, executive director of the Sacramento, Calif.-based group. "It's purely symbolic. We're not going to be holding any rallies there."
Sheehan, who was unavailable for comment, plans to sell the land on eBay as early as next week with a starting bid of $80,000, Miller said. Since buying the property last year for $52,500, Sheehan's group has made many improvements, including putting in gravel roads, clearing brush and planting gardens, Miller said.
Dixon said that after Sheehan's announcement Monday, he was flooded with e-mails from Move America Forward members who thought the group should buy the land. The nonprofit organization had planned to erect a monument to honor U.S. troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, possibly in Crawford, so "we figured this is the perfect thing to do," he said.
Dixon said the group is "pretty much prepared to do what we have to do" to get the land but has a price limit, which he declined to disclose. The group retained a California real estate agent to start working on the deal and will start raising money, he said.

So she is a whore, she just wants to haggle over the price.
I wonder why she is against a monument for our fallen heros.
If Sheehan discriminates against them because they’re conservative, she can be sued for discrimination. Oh, what joy!

Those are my thoughts too. Petty much tells me what I already knew about her and her ilk.
“We’re just quibbling over the price.”
I always thought the “We support the troops, just not their mission” crowd were lying through their teeth.
She is afraid of the one name that will be prominently featured on that monument: “Casey Sheehan”
If she sells it on Ebay and it only goes for say $150,000, won’t she have to hand it over? Or is she going to put a $5,000,000.00 Reserve on it, LOL!!
You are right in your observations … it will take much cleaning before this piece of land is habitable again.
A Kelo vs New London maneuver never looked so appealing. ;O)
EXACTLY!!
They should do what she did — Didn’t she have a third party buy it from the owners, so they wouldn’t know it was HER? Well, then, fair is fair.
If I remember correctly, SHE got the land from a “straw” buyer. The owner at the time said knowing who the end owner was, he would not have sold.
Good question.
