The woman, who sounds like a soccer mom type, probably a slightly-left wing leaning person who was likely mildly pro-choice, mildly pro-human rights, mildly pro-socialist (you know, the stupid type who probably actually believes what she sees on CBSNBCABCPBSCNNWASHPOSTNYTSFCHRON), but basically nonpolitical, has a traumatic incident and goes over the edge and turns into a moonbat. And in the past 220 posts, we've basically given her more press than she's had in a long, long time.
She's doing despicable things that are dishonoring the memory of her son. But I see her as a tragic figure. And I'm sorry, but I cannot be as hard on her or other mothers/fathers who are in the same situation as I am on the professional protesters who are simply looking for any possible excuse to protest this country (the International ANSWER types, et al)
My view of her is completely different than that I have of Michael Berg, a long-time socialist worker-type.
I agree. My brother is also on active duty and if anything happened, he would be disgusted if our parents behaved in such a manner.
Ms. Sheehan's son was an adult when he made the decision to enlist in the military. Sadly, I do not think her actions since then can be explained solely as massive grief...this woman is capitalizing on her son's death to strike against the administration.
it was posted on another board....google the title and ten pages will come up.

You just can't make this stuff up, people. :)
This woman isn't being used, she is the user. She is using the death of her own child to promote her political agenda. She is a twisted individual.
I am beginning to believe that you are correct and I am currently writing a follow up to my earlier editorial. Thanks to your repeated inquiries, we have a better understanding of her and her motivations. I have yet to find out who is the mover behind the scene.
Thanks for your insistent questions.

I agree with most of what you posted. She is no different than a cult member; recruited when she was most vunerable and now a true believer in everything being spoon fed to her. Now her mission is to convert the masses.
Attack her for what she has done and said since the death of her son, but some comments posted about her have crossed the line, imho.
Spanky: Let's start a club right now. The He-man Woman-haters. I'll be president.
Alfalfa: And I'll be second president, and you can be third president.
Buckwheat: Thanks.
Spanky: Alright, get up and do exactly what I do. Put your hand on your heart, and raise your other hand. We, the He-man Woman-haters club...
Alfalfa and Buckwheat: We, the he-man woman-haters club...
Spanky: ...promise not to fall for this Valentine's business...
Alfalfa and Buckwheat: ...promise not to fall for this Valentine's business...
Spanky: ...because girls are the bunk.
Alfalfa and Buckwheat: ...because girls are the bunk.
Thanks.
Thanks, I will use google, that was an amazing take of hers on the President. Totally unbelievable.
The President did meet with her already. Last year, I think. She wants a second meeting...of course the MSM won't phrase it that way.
He already has....back in 2004.
And she had kind things to say about him then.
Looks like she's had her head turned by the Code Pink crowd.
What happened to Commie Mommy's Glorious Jihad? Since she's a committed leftist disgrace to her son's memory, what let the wind out of her sails?
I wonder who her soon-to-be ex-husband is. He might have some interesting insight into the meeting.
Interesting info regarding her husband.
Interesting. In May, her husband supported her work according to Cindy.

"Patrick Sheehan, Cindy Sheehan husband, supports his wife in her activism, he participates in some events and drives with Cindy when he is not working as a sales representative. He spoke about the toll this work is taking in the family. “If she is not away traveling or speaking, she is home with her laptop, watching news, or talking on the phone…This is important, we try to continue to support her.”
Now, he doesn't.

"I have lost almost every friend that I had before Casey died. My husband and I are separated, because he doesn't support my activities, although he knows the war is a lie."
I found Patrick's home number in Vacaville, CA. It may be worth giving him a call to see why the sudden drop in support.
Wow....she should have taught him not to die for this country.
What a sick woman.
