Well, we told you so.

From France's AFP [excerpted]:

U.S. anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan (R) participates in a march at the start of the annual World Social Forum in Caracas January 24, 2006. Thousands marched in Caracas on Tuesday chanting against war and U.S. imperialism at the start of the annual World Social Forum where activists meet to campaign for causes from fair trade to indigenous rights.

US anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan hails Venezuela's Chavez

CARACAS (AFP) - Anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan, mother of a US soldier killed in Iraq, joined more than 10,000 anti-globalization activists in Caracas, where she hailed Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez.

"I admire him for his resolve against my government and its meddling," said Sheehan, who gained notoriety when she camped outside US President George W. Bush's ranch last year to protest the Iraq war. She said she hoped to meet Chavez later in the week...

My government should not meddle anywhere, the "peace mom" told AFP during the march, which was marked by anti-Bush slogans...

She said Venezuela's foreign ministry sponsored her visit.

Of course we always knew what Mother Sheehan was. The question was only ever what is her price.

[Sam Hill]

It’s a safe assumption that Chavez also helped foot the bill for all the other US participants that Code Pink organized.

[Sam Hill]

More America-hating Sheehanigans.

For pay.

[SouthernFreebird]

She reminds me of the Ho being passed around the football team. Thinks she's special and hasn't a clue she's being used.

[jrushing]

I hope that they keep her.
She would be a good addition to the chavez party.

[nopardons]

Oh for crying out loud...this is treason!

Crazy Cindy is an absolute disgrace. Her poor son must be whirling in his grave.

[Enchante]

Thanks, Cindy, this is actually incredibly useful to have you openly accepting financial support and propaganda networking opportunities from a HOSTILE FOREIGN POWER. The MSM will try to ignore it of course, but over time the fact that you have been spoon fed money and propaganda by this blowhard commie dictator will remove all future usefulness for you to the Demagogic Party.....at least I sure hope this will come back to bite you as it should.

"So it is official, Casey had his blood shed in Iraq for OIL. He died so we could pay over 3.00/gallon for gas. Like I suspected all along, my dear, sweet son: almost 1900 others; and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis died so the oil fields wouldn't "fall into the hands of terrorists" and so George and his immoral band of greedy robber barons could become wealthier. Like I have said all along: how can these people sleep at night and how can they choke down their food knowing it is purchased off of the flesh and blood of others? We have found our "Noble Cause." And it is OIL. This man and his handlers need to be stopped." -- Mother Sheehan

For the love of God. Next stop, Tehran?

[nopardons]

Oh good grief! If Cindy has two working brain cells, I'd be surprised.

I don't know where Cindy is buying her gas, but I'm not paying $3.00 a gallon for mine.

Just as ugly too.

With any luck her next visit will be an anti-american demonstration in Iraq where she then gets kidnapped by the KCK (Koran Crazed Killers).

waiting for anyone (ANYONE) to show up at a book signing.

[Bubba]

Cindy... Cindy... Cindy!

There is a term for what you have done.

ROADWHORE!

Someone who truly cares about you should tell you...

Sit down and shut up... You have embarrassed your dead son's memory beyond belief. He asked to serve in Iraq... twice. If he was alive today... there is no doubt he'd kick you sorry ass through the goal posts of pariotism.

and you are making a total unabridged FOOL out of yourself in front of the entire world.

Honey... you put the "B" in the itch word.

[veronica]

She's a madwoman. Out of her mind.

After the tragedy of 9/11 we were on our way to becoming a fledgling Matriotic society until our leaders jumped on the bandwagon of inappropriate and misguided vengeance to send our young people to die and kill in two countries that were no threat to the USA or to our way of life. The neocons exploited patriotism to fulfill their goals of imperialism and plunder.

This sort of patriotism begins when we enter kindergarten and learn the nationalist “Pledge of Allegiance.” It transcends all sense when we are taught the “Star Spangled Banner,” a hymn to war.

Venezuela Dictator Vows To Bring Down U.S. Government

Venezuela government is sole owner of Citgo gasoline company

Venezuela Dictator Hugo Chavez has vowed to bring down the U.S. government.

Chavez, president of Venezuela, told a TV audience: "Enough of imperialist aggression; we must tell the world: down with the U.S. empire. We have to bury imperialism this century."

The guest on his television program, beamed across Venezuela, was Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar activist. Chavez recently had as his guest Harry Belafonte, who called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world."

Chavez is pushing a socialist revolution and has a close alliance with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

Regardless of your feelings about the war in Iraq, the issue here is that we have a socialist dictator vowing to bring down the government of the U.S. And he is using our money to achieve his goal!

The Venezuela government, run by dictator Chavez, sole owner of Citgo gas co. http://www.citgo.com/AboutCITGO.jsp

Sales of products at Citgo stations send money back to Chavez to help him in his vow to bring down our government.

Take Action

Please decide that you will not be shopping at a Citgo station. Why should U.S. citizens who love freedom be financing a dictator who has vowed to take down our government?

Very important. Please forward this to your friends and family. Most of them don't know that Citgo is owned by the Venezuela government.
