Few turning out for Cindy Sheehan-led Bush protest in Dallas

Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar activist whose son was killed in the war on Iraq, plans to lead a protest this afternoon near former President George W. Bush’s Preston Hollow home.

But this afternoon, less than an hour before the protest was to begin, only seven people had shown up to take part. They outnumbered -- barely -- the reporters sent out to cover the event. Sheehan was not yet present.

Seven people, with a collective IQ of about 43...

[dirtboy]

Fourteen minutes past the hour, Cindy.

Cindy, it’s over.

[Julia H.]

This woman IS aware Bush is no longer President, and therefore protesting him is an exercise in futility and insanity, correct?

Oh, that’s right—futility and insanity are liberal family values.

[cripplecreek]

Um

Why?

“only seven people had shown up to take part. They outnumbered — barely — the reporters sent out to cover the event. Sheehan was not yet present.”

She so yesterday, thrown under the bus after she was used. Nobody like a mother using her brave sons grave as a soapbox to promote their views.

[Always Right]

NEWSFLASH: .. Bush is no longer President....

[Dilbert San Diego]

Well, she said we have to hold Bush accountable, even though he’s now out of office.

She’s not all there in the head. She went to New Orleans after Katrina, and complained that the military was there. She said she was afraid she would get shot. The liberals at the time wanted Bush to send aid to New Orleans. But, the lunatic fringe of liberals, such as Cindy Sheehan, feared our own military relief men more than the youth gangs which plague New Orleans.

Hey Shindy, you want to make headlines? There are other ways.

[paulycy]

How pathetic is this? Maybe she needs some professional help...

Chavez Vows To 'Stand By Iran'
After Oil Talks In Tehran, Venezuelan Leader Called 'Brother' By Ahmedinejad

"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

Unfortunately we have a few of those on the right.

She’s on her sixteenth minute of fame.

...only seven people had shown up to take part.

I'm surprised that many people showed up.

Seriously, how pathetic do you have to be to protest a former POTUS with Cindy Sheehan.

What possibly could you accomplish?

The RCP calls for the armed overthrow of the U.S. government...

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":
