On the occasion of the death of President Gerald Ford, anti-American activist Cindy Sheehan released a statement today blaming Ford for the war in Iraq and the "deaths of over 3000 American soldiers" in the conflict.
Sheehan, whose son Army Spc. Casey Sheehan was killed in Iraq in 2004, wrote about Ford on BuzzFlash.com, a leftist website.
Sheehan has become the face of the antiwar movement since she started stalking President Bush at his Crawford, Texas ranch in August, 2005. She is currently in Crawford, as is President Bush.
After writing the obligatory condolences on his passing, Sheehan ripped in to Ford:
Usually, burying a 93 year old loved one is sorrowful but, I believe his pardon of Richard Nixon is one of the factors that have led to the untimely deaths of over 3000 American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in the Middle East. Just this month alone, 91 of our young people have met early, avoidable, unnecessary and tragic deaths in Bloody George's horrific war. In a month when most people picked out Christmas trees and had joy-filled celebrations in the season of lights, 91 of our nation's families went shopping for burial plots or urns and their holidays will never be the same again.
One of the talking heads on one of the cable news shows (does it matter which?) said that it was a "great thing for America" that Gerald Ford pardoned the crooked war criminal, Richard Nixon. He said that we don't make public spectacles out of trying our presidents in criminal courts. After all, we are not a "banana republic."
No, the United States of America is not a "banana republic" Mr. Talking Head, but since Nixon got away with his blatant crimes and every President since Nixon has skated away from office after having committed overt and covert crimes, we have on our hands, here, a situation that I am forced now to call: "Bloody George."
Bloody George struts around in a cloud of denial with his fake cowboy swagger, breaking our nation's laws and international laws as if he were immune from life's woes and above any law. What Mr. Talking Head was pointing out to us in his ridiculous commentary was that presidents are above the law that they swear to uphold. Presidents of other countries who are found guilty of murdering 148 people are not apparently above the law -- Bloody George plays banana republic justice in other countries while countenancing none of the same here in the U.S. of A.
Cindy Sheehan has long since passed in to buffoon status, but her dogged stalking of President Bush and her alliance with terrorist supporting leftists here in America and around the world makes her worth keeping an eye on. That and her fantasies of killing President Bush.
Ummm, remind me, what was Richard Nixon's war crime? Cutting and running like a 21st Century Democrat?
Wow, she is stepping on a few toes over at DU, she included Bubba and Jimmuh, the greatest Presidents since FDR.
YOW! With a face like that, behold, she has her reward.
Don't you? Don't you? Don't you? Don't YOU!!!
Doug, since I'm laughing and sick, I think I've invented a new abbreviation - COL! (Coughing Out Loud!) Hope you had a good Christmas. Keep those parodies coming - with the incoming Congress, we're going to need the laughs!
Hope you get well, my friend. Parodies during the Clinton years kept me sane in a country that had gone insane.
Yes she is. Cindy just keeps passin' that blame to anyone she can find. I say she is responsible for her son's death because she didn't talk him out of serving since she hates the military so much. Time for old Cindy to eat it.
Cindy must have had issues long before she lost her son. Any good shrink could tell you she is a sociopath. She definitely needs help.
Richard Nixon was a "war criminal"? I thought he was a third-rate burglar. WTF??
I think this is where she will lose the democrats' support. I think Ford's death is a wake-up call to democrats who will now realise that American Presidents are not imortal. I think you'll see liberals ignore Sheehan and huddle around Bush now.
This woman needs to remain front and center. She's sexy as a scab.
Someone who loves Cindy needs not wrap a warm blanket around her and quietly take her somewhere where she can get some serious help. I truly believe there is a diagnosis out there with her name on it and that she can be helped.
So she waits till he's dead and can't defend himself.
What scum.
You don't get any heat for saying what we're all thinking.
I will enjoy reading each and every reply describing this evil, shameless woman.
That woman is demented. She should be hospitalized until such time as she is able to function in society. Honestly, I think she is a danger to others and perhaps to herself.
What the f*ck was she even talking about ????? Ford , Iraq ...????????????????????????????????? she needs a beating , I swear she does.
"You're way too nice to say it, so let me: BITCH!!!!"
That was totally uncalled for.
To call that poor unfortunate mother who has used her son's death as currency to get her ugly pos face in all the left wing hate rags... a bitch, is an insult to all female dogs.
