Cindy Sheehan is heading to Martha's Vineyard this week for a three day cruise, 'limited interviews' and a little protesting of vacationing Barack Obama for not losing the war on terror fast enough for her liking.
According to Cape Cod Today, Sheehan will be co-captaining three days of sailing around Martha's Vineyard aboard the 'SS Camp Casey' from August 27 to 29 with "peace movement leaders, international news 'anchors' and pro-peace members of the public." as an acting Department of Peace. On her blog, Sheehan says they will be working on 'the first draft of the International People's Declaration of Peace.'
Sheehan is quoted as saying, "I am calling in the Peace Movement to encircle our country with our united demand for an immediate return of all U.S. forces around the globe. Bring every one of our troops home NOW! We need them in our families and towns. This world needs a permanent vacation from war."
Sheehan has the publicity services of the leftist Institute for Public Accuracy. The D.C. outfit put out a press release informing the media Sheehan will be "available for a limited number of interviews".
Sheehan will hold a press conference Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. at the same location where the traveling White House press corps is located, Oak Bluffs Elementary School.
The prospects for a media lovefest akin to her debut protest against a vacationing President George W. Bush four years ago in Crawford, Texas are doubtful. ABC News anchor Charles Gibson told Sheehan last week, "enough already".
Three day cruises, managed press availibilities, and a week on the Vineyard. Who could say 'enough already' to that? JambaJuice smoothie, anyone?
Where’s all of the left helping her set up Camp Casey II? Oh, wait, can’t criticize the cool black Democratic prez.
Where does this woman get her money?
SS Camp Casey? WTF?
Someone notify the Coast Guard to double check her "captain's license".
Do we have any Freepers in MV? Seems like we have Freepers everywhere but I have never heard one coming from MV.
Will Cynthia McKinneys Boat be there as well?
I think she’s still in prison.
Just enough protesting to write it off on her taxes?
Stupid $%*@#
"I was jus delivering these sammitches and drinks to the Palestinians!"
El Rushbo now refers to the liberal island resort as “Marxist Vineyard”.
;^)
You have to admit the woman is a hoot and holler.
It seems as if she is being coddled, rewarded even.
She gets a nice little vacation and no dirt will stick to Obama from her tepid criticism if him.
Sheehan is consistent in her opposition to the war She shows that the DUmmies, Kos Kids, Moveons and the Dems cynically used her son’s death and her opposition to work against the GOP. Normally showing Dem hypocrisy is a plus, but what is going to happen here is the haloed one will come out with a statement that Cindy should support the troops and that American soldiers do not need or deserve the lack of support as demonstrated by Sheehan. Obama will come out looking supportitive of the troops and mainstream as opposed to Sheehan’s nuttiness.The hypocrisy will not even be noticed, let alone mentioned.
Yup. I will give her that!
I bet he comes out and smokes a peace pipe(metaphorically) with her.
It will be a teachable moment.
That is a great name for MV - I know some folks who live there and they are fawning, frothing at the mouth, head over heals in love with bambam
There is a 30 mi radius no fly zone over Marxist Vinyard
