Cindy Sheehan Moving to Washington (D.C.)
ABC News ^ | Tuesday, October 6, 2009 | Yunji de Nies and Sunlen Miller

Posted on 10/06/2009 10:48:35 AM PDT by kristinn

ABC News’ Yunji de Nies and Sunlen Miller report: She’s back and this time, she’s here to stay. Cindy Sheehan says she is moving to Washington. The anti-war activist was outside the White House for the second day in a row, with a bullhorn and a handful of protestors, shouting against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Guantanamo and calling for “health care not warfare.”

Sheehan became a prominent voice against the Iraq war after her son Special Casey Sheehan was killed in Iraq 2004, and spent years hounding George W. Bush. Now, she’s turned her attention to President Barack Obama, recently following him on his family vacation to Martha’s Vineyard, and now planning to move to D.C. sometime this winter. Sheehan says she sees no difference between the foreign policy of the last president and this one.

“We’re going to create a movement that’s going to demand a change of policy,” she said, explaining that her plan is to create large, coordinated acts of civil resistance, “It’s going to be massive.”

I want the U.S. to win the war. Cindy wants us to lose. Despite the schadenfreude factor, I won't cheer this move by her (well, not too much at any rate.)

DC is not a cheap area to live in.

Who pays her way?

At least she doesn’t practice doublethink, a standard for pols on both sides of the aisle.

Who is supporting this social parasite? She sure seems to have unlimited options for an unemployed person.

Soros is probably still paying for her because he knows she is dumber than $$&*.

Why didn’t she stand out on the sidewalk with her bullhorn as the president went to Date Night II?

I will give her this much: Cindy is at least consistent in her cause.

At least she is consistent, even though she's wrong.

Yeah, me too, but mine are explosive and violent.

Hers will be different! Large, and coordinated. Pure and peaceful. And, in her own words, ““It’s going to be massive.”

I hope she makes it tapered at the trailing end so her “caucus” doesn’t slam shut... that could be quite painful.

I’d say there goes the neighborhood, but I doubt they can go down any further where she can afford to live.

If she did, the anti-Nuke grandma who’s been living there for 20 years would be pretty pissed!
