Sheehan's mother, Shirley Miller
That is just damn unbelieveable that they put that up.
Why cannot the media support our national objectives?
Another great question! About a lot of things!
When she discovers no one is paying attention, she’s going to go rabid, thus adding to the embarrassment of everyone in her vicinity.
We can only hope!
where some 2,000 anti-war protesters have gathered.
BS.
Some guy that was on Air America was claiming there were 2,000 people on Sunday at Joanie's concert
And that 8-9,000 people have signed the guest book at the Crawford Peace House
IMO .. I'm thinking those numbers are a tad high for visitors there
Thanks.
And IF there are 2,000 at the Ditch bitch's campgrounds,all at one time, I'll eat my most expensive hat.
Just wondering if Google news has anything up on her condition.
You can pretty much guess the answer, just remember...it's all about Cindy.
OK.....Nite all.

CLIFFORD D. MAY: An open letter to Cindy Sheehan
Scripps Howard News Service
Last Updated: August 24, 2005, 12:47:00 PM PDT
(SH) - Dear Cindy Sheehan:
I know you want to talk to President Bush about the conflict in Iraq, the war in which your son, Specialist Casey Sheehan, was tragically killed. I also know that while the president met with you previously, he is not eager to see you again - not now that you are affiliated with Moveon.org and supported by David Duke and handled by slick public-relations professionals.
So let me suggest an alternative: Come visit with me. Our meeting probably won't get much publicity, but I can promise you an interesting discussion. I could have some people join us - for example, a few of the many Iraqi freedom fighters with whom I've been working for the past several years, many of them women, as well as democracy and human-rights activists from Syria, Iran, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon and other countries.
You say you want to know, "What is the noble cause that my son died for?" They would answer: Your son died fighting a war against an extremist movement intent on destroying free societies and replacing them with racist dictatorships.
The Iraqis will want to tell you what life was like under Saddam Hussein - the mass murders of hundreds of thousands, the women and girls who were gang-raped by Saddam's cronies, the creative forms of torture that were ignored by the "international community."
I know several Baghdadi businessmen whom Saddam suspected of disloyalty. He had their right hands amputated. Want to meet them? The doctors who were forced to perform these amputations are worth chatting with as well.
It's true, as you and others have pointed out, that we did not find Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction. But don't be misled into believing that Saddam never had any. Indeed, he used chemical weapons against the Kurds, slaughtering thousands in villages like Halabja, where mothers laid down in the streets and embraced their children in their final moments. We can show you pictures. We can introduce you to survivors.
Like you, I wish America's intelligence agencies had known more than they did about Saddam's capabilities. But Saddam's intentions were never in doubt.
Cindy, you've been calling for the United States to get out of Iraq at a time when our enemies in that country include the most aggressive and lethal branch of al-Qaida, led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Can you not see that if we were to retreat from Iraq now, it would be a historic defeat for the United States?
And it would be a huge victory for al-Qaida. Zarqawi would view himself - not without justification - as a giant killer. Recruits would flock to him for the many battles that would, inevitably, follow. We could not expect to do better in those battles than we did in Iraq.
We will never be able to make ourselves inoffensive to the racist death cults that have declared war on us. When these barbarians kill brave Americans like Casey Sheehan, we can't run and hide. Or rather we can - but that only invites the terrorists to hit us again. For years we didn't understand that. The consequence was Sept. 11, 2001.
Remember: We fled from Somalia in 1993. We left Saddam in power after the first Gulf War in 1991. We did nothing much after the Hezbollah bombing of our Marine barracks in 1983. Our response to the taking of American hostages in Tehran in 1979 was toothless.
In each of these cases - and too many others - we demonstrated to our enemies that there would be no penalty for humiliating and even slaughtering Americans. In each of these cases Osama bin Laden saw evidence that Americans are irresolute and weak; that America's military - for all its sophistication and technology - would prove no match for determined hostage-takers, decapitators and suicide bombers.
One more thing: Your slogan has been "America out of Iraq!" and also "Israel out of Palestine!" I wonder if you understand that you are calling for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from their ancient homeland. I wonder if you understand that more than half of all Israelis fled from places like Tehran, Cairo and Tripoli - and they are not welcome to return. I wonder if you understand that there is no way for Israelis to get "out of Palestine" that does not include genocide.
If you and your supporters are not, in fact, arguing for another Holocaust, would you be so good as to clarify your remarks?
Again, Cindy, I hope we can discuss all of this and more in my office with my friends - fighters for freedom who count on the support of freedom-loving Americans. Will you join us for lunch? Tuna or turkey?

Sheehan's Late-Night Camp Casey Comments to Supporters
Following Joan Baez' performance, Cindy Sheehan made her first public statements since returning to Camp Casey in Crawford, TX.
She spoke about the media attacks on her, and at length about Casey. Both moving and at times, funny.
As broadcast LIVE Exclusively on The BRAD SHOW via RAW RADIO's Special Edition of "Operation Noble Cause". Here's the MP3...
(Thanks David Edwards and Otie Maclay for the sound, Jeff Patterson of NotInOurName.net for the picture and DreamFactoryINK.com for getting out the word!)
Last I heard the stroke affected the right side of her body, but that she was showing signs of improvement
What exactly that means?? .. you got me
It makes sense to me, but Mo, I'm too tired to coherently explain it.
Either Cindy has Mommy's blessing to get back to the ditch, or they've had a fight...she should NOT have left her mother like that.
Good grief. That's absolutely horrible.
I'm marching a young man I know and love to the court house tomorrow to have his named changed. :)
ROFLOL!!!
Check this out...Whoo hoo...Shelia Jackson Lee and Joan Baez with Margot Kidder tomorrow! I'm soooo excited! roflol!

Raw Radio Miracles Can Happen! And today they did!
Live and Deep in the Heart of Texas!
Plus: Rep. Shiela Jackson Lee's Surprise Appearance, A THIRD Night of Baez to Come Tomorrow and Margot Kidder on Tomorrow's BRAD SHOW!
Wow...What a day...A radio miracle, indeed. The BRAD SHOW via RAW RADIO's "Operation Noble Cause" seems to now be up and running from Crawford Texas!
Thanks to Ben Burch of WhiteRoseSociety.org today's extraordinary 4 hours will now be looping throughout the night until we fire it up again tomorrow at HIGH NOON Central Time tomorrow. ReBRADCasting all night long! Option 1 or Option 2 (whatever works best for your audio player).
As well, here's the Joan Baez interview [MP3]with commercial breaks pulled out (again, thanks to Ben and WhiteRose! You saved our lives!)
Baez decided to stick around another day and is about to give an account of "Her Life in Activism" which will include a few songs as well (she tells us) and some other performances from some other folks.
And now, she's just been introducted by a suprise guest -- Rep. Shiela Jackson Lee...and further surprise, Baez is to make it a two-parter! She's gonna be here another night for part II of "Her Life in Activism" (Come on down folks!)
If I'd had more than 40 minutes sleep last night, I might be more articulate now. But listen to whatever you can of today's show. I think there was some extraordinary stuff. Amazing voices. And the last thirty minutes just tore me up...
But here's some fresh skinny for ya...We'll be back LIVE at NOON CT tomorrow (1p ET, 10a PT) and our first guest will be Superman's Margot Kidder, whose just become a U.S. citizen last week!
And oh, the things you'll hear...Stay tuned...
Thanks again to those who can DONATE to help keep us up on the air! And to those who have done so already!
We hope to have another audio highlight or two soon!
I don't know if this is true or not
But some guy on AA mentioned that Willie Nelson might be going there also
Willie Nelson?! roflol!
That should really draw a crowd. /sarcasm
on a side note .. listening to Air America is making my mind go numb *L*
