She's "nothing more than a hysterical, brainless woman," reader Michael Velikin wrote. The type who would be declared a witch or delirious in another era. Of course "now we know more about women's cycles and menopause, we're more sympathetic to their behavior."
And the name-calling escalated from there.
Sheehan is just angry at her dead son for being a grown-up who supported the war, Michael Modes said. Now she's just another celebrity intoxicated by her reflection in the TV mirror. He doubts that, if she could, Sheehan would trade her fame in to have her son back alive, Leonard Giaccone accused.
And several among the 200 or more e-mailers and callers commenting on Wednesday's column charged that Sheehan had no right to mourn her son so publicly since she was a "bad mother" whose ex-husband raised her son more than she did.
To Howard York of Sequim, being a non-custodial mom exposes Sheehan as "a fraud so far as the bleeding is concerned and (she) is using the loss only for political leverage."

"..Sheehan, she is very unstable to say the least.."
Which is why I think she should have been removed from the President's SOTU address not just for the protest reason. This women should not be allowed NEAR the President, she should be on the S.S. watch list.
Unfortunately, many drag queens are downright beautiful. Perhaps not many, but I've seen a few who are on TV or other documentary type films. (this was years ago. They're probably uglier drag queens now)
"Can someone investigate how this unattractive old windbag has the means to travel the world?????? Is she independently wealthy????? Does she work?????? Who pays her bills???????/seoul62.........."
According to O'Reilly, Code Pink is footing the bills.
Suppose we might convince them to throw in a clothing allowance for something other than a hoodie?
The article quotes a bunch of moonbat leftie Bush-haters, too. The ones that claim to be "former Republicans" crack me up. I'm going to refer to myself as a "former Democrat" in my next letter-to-the-editor. (It's true, too! I voted for McGovern and Jimmy C when I was young and stupid. Never Again!)
Please let Cindy Sheehan and Howard Dean be on TV more often.
I read last summer that he did support Casey, and does support the troops.
Yeppers..
BTW...I love your screen name.
That sentence needs to be repeated over, and over again.
Thank you.
You know, I really wonder what the Secret Service file on Sheehan looks like???. Sadly, there is probably at least 1 agent assigned full time to monitor the nutcase and her cronies. After all, she must be considered highly unstable and considered a potential security threat to the President or other officials.
She's a WHACKO!!!
Not long after this Sheehan woman began playing the grieving mother card, a statement was put out by Casey's real family. IIRC they wanted to make it clear that this crazy dame did NOT represent them nor Casey. The fruitbat was doing this on her own.
Dishonored is a vast understatement.
Actually, I have yet to see any evidence in the public domain at least, that she ever gave a damn about her son, dead or alive.
Why do you think they hate the idea of school vouchers so much?
Cindy Sheehan was raised by skunks in the Ugly Forest. Normally, the wolves raise kids that get abandoned there, but she was just too damn ugly.
Where did you hear that?
She was married to her husband for 28 years. They split up last summer.
She's enough of a nutjob that we don't have to tell lies about her.
HTB,
I'm not trying to defend the witch in a ditch by any means but there's an error being made which isn't true.
What happened was one of the other supporter's of W.I.a.D was being interviewed on a television show along with Sheehan. The other supporter is the one who gave up custody of her son to her ex. Then the rumour was born it was Sheehan who'd given up custody of Casey when she hadn't. Cindy has only been married once and that was to the father of the kids, Patrick Sheehan. (Why would Patrick Sheehan go to the trouble to adopt Casey and give Casey his last name if Cindy Sheehan had given up custody?)
Cindy and her current husband, Patrick are the parents of Casey and the other kids. Her current husband has filed for divorce but I don't believe custody is an issue since all of the kids are now of age.
While Michelle Malkin's column doesn't specifically address this particular issue, it does state Patrick and Cindy Sheehan are the parents of Casey.

Also, The Smoking Gun has a copy of the petition for divorce which shows the Sheehan's have been married for 28 years. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0815051sheehan1.html
I do believe though Cindy has abandoned her other kids, especially one of her son's (can't remember his name now) who begged his Mom to come home because he needed her help dealing with his brother's death. I have the personal opinion her husband is divorcing her because he's embarassed by Cindy and he's also been abandoned in favor of Cindy's promotion of Cindy.
(Please don't hit me :^)! )
