Peace activist Cindy Sheehan’s return to Central Texas drew about 55 people Tuesday night to hear her speak at Poppa Rollo’s Pizza.

The event was a stop on Sheehan’s book tour to promote Myth America, the latest of her four books.

Sheehan, whose son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in 2004, garnered the attention of the nation in 2005 when she and other anti-war protesters gathered in Crawford outside the ranch of former President George W. Bush. The protesters demanded the president’s justification for the Iraq war and asked for the immediate withdrawal of all troops.

Tuesday night, Sheehan railed not only against Bush and his policies but also against President Barack Obama and other politicians who Sheehan says are perpetuating Bush’s war policies.

“I’ve been in several protests of Obama, and there’s no coverage, but then I go protest George Bush in Dallas, and there’s an overwhelming amount of media coverage.”

[excalibur1701]

At least she’s consistent.

"The event was a stop on Sheehan’s book tour to promote Myth America, the latest of her four books."

You have got to be kidding me. This woman has written four books? About what??? Her life ain't that interesting. Must be works of fiction...

And that Cindy, should be your first clue.....

“I’ve been in several protests of Obama, and there’s no coverage”

and since I CRAVE COVERAGE, I decided to protest George Bush again, and VOILA! Lots of coverage!

[kempster]

At this rate she could expect to sell well over 250 books.

Peace activist Cindy Sheehan’s return to Central Texas drew about 55 people on “Free Beer and Pizza Night” at Poppa Rollo’s Pizza.

To paraphrase Judge Judy, “Looks fade, nuts is forever!”

Her 15 minutes of fame were over like 3 hours ago.

Unfortunately, the left continues living in the past.

"Peace activist Cindy Sheehan"

I wish to hell we would stop already with this "peace activist" bullshit. She and her ilk are NOT "peace activists", they're pro-communist!

"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.'":

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.":

“... Cindy Sheehan returns to speak in Waco”
I think she actually speaks in Wacko which is her native tongue.

[tbpiper]

This woman has written four books?

Given her level of clear-headed reasoning, I would suspect the books were the interacitve type, i.e., crayons required.

[aheckle]

She accidentally let it slip she is against the war on terror in general. She lost all credibility when that happened.

Will this media whore ever go away?

[broken_arrow1]

Can’t Cindy just STFU!

Why is this news?

Review of Poppa Rollo’s Pizza on Yelp.com:

I really would not recommend this place at all. Here is the short list:

1. SUPER slow service

2. Cold Food

3. Very mediocre pizza -AT BEST.

4. Owner is a bullsh*t artist that babbles on..

5. Dirty, dark, corny atmosphere.

6. Waiters/Waitresses seem untrained, inconsiderate, inappropriate. (a group of 5 of them had a full on fight/argument in the dining room the night we were there)

7. Pricey for the poor food quality and long wait.

Who voted this place "Best of Waco" I have no idea, but they should have some sort of scan run. :P

Sounds like just the kind of place Cindy would go for.

If you take out copies given away to friends and family and the obligatory ones scooped up by code pink, I wonder how many she sold? Maybe 12....
