[Jeff Head]

Sheehan says it's all been a distraction from her quest in Crawford: a face-to-face meeting with Bush to ask for what noble cause her 24-year-old son Casey died, and to say that the only way to honor soldiers' sacrifices is to stop the war with Iraq. "Our message is to bring the troops home," Sheehan, of Vacaville, Calif., said Monday. "We're trying to get back to that original goal."

He already met with her and she had positive things to say about that meeting. She knows it, her handlers know it, and the MSM knows it. The entire thing is a huge sham and a coriographed political play that she has been trained for for several months.

They feel they have an unassailable icon because she lost her son...but when she tramples on the service and sacrifice and coffin of that son, and uses it to attack this country, well, she loses that status with me and I believe with most Americans.

She is an anti-american, spiteful, and hateful person who is alienating everyone close to her for her new "friends" who will use her up and toss her to the side, spent and wasted...or (which is looking more and more probable) she will become one of them and be consigned to their own junk heap.

Is it just me or does it sound like this camp is not to clean over all? It sure took them long enough to get portable toilets. Maybe that mystery bottle of vanilla is some sort of holistic left wing remedy to keep from getting dysentery while rolling around in one's own filth.

Beatriz Saldivar of Fort Worth said she joined the vigil "for all the soldiers who don't have a voice." Her nephew, Daniel Torres, was killed in Iraq last year, leaving behind an unborn daughter due next month. "What are we fighting for?" Saldivar said. "What are we doing there?"

That just doesn't compute.....

[Jeff Head]

Tha pic should be made into poster and stuck in the ground surrounding Mrs. Sheehan's camp.

The PIC also should be a full page ad in every major newspaper in this country.

Actually, the fact that it is not prominantly displayed on the MSM is proof positive that they are (as we already know) so abjectly slanted in their coverage that they are not worthy of our notice.

[TigersEye]

A volunteer all the way; Casey enlisted, re-enlisted, volunteered for the mission that took his life and earned the Bronze Star trying to rescue fellow soldiers.

Casey Sheehan's actions in life are the antithesis of and a direct repudiation of Cindy Sheehan's views and actions!

It's got to be getting pretty rank around there by now.

A few more things this part of the country has in abundance:
Rabid Coons, possums and skunks

All attracted to food laying out and smells.

[spycatcher]

Suicide bomb-belt alert! She's nuts and she talked about the secret service killing her for a reason I presume.

[76834]

It's obvious that this woman has gone totally off her rocker.

Left wing loonies are just using her

"What are we fighting for?" Saldivar said. "What are we doing there?"

The fact that anyone can ask this question and get it published is proof that the media has failed in its job to accurately inform the public. Disagreeing with what we are fighting for or questioning how it's being done could be reasonable questions depending on the circumstances and one's own POV. But not knowing the reasons should be the province of small children and monkeys. The MSM is fully culpable in this national ignorance.

[Zacs Mom]

The MSM is actively cooperating in sheehan's seditious efforts to discredit our President and this nation!

[airborne]

An array of colorful banners — "No Blood for Oil" and "Bush Lied; Casey Died" hang from a row of trees. Several portable toilets were brought in last week.

Nice writing! It has a flow to it.

Banners - toilets!

Another BIMBO Alert.

That was two months after her son's death and before reports surfaced about faulty pre-war intelligence, which enraged her.

It's a lie; the Niger documents came out in late 2002 because Bush used the 16 words in the State of the Union; plus, one of her good friends, Joe Wilson, wrote his article in July of 2003.

[Howlin]

but the guy from cnn interviewed a hispanic woman who's son died in Iraq. It is incredable to me that people that were not born here understand what it means to be an American better than most of the people born here. This lady was AWESOME! It makes you believe that the next generation of Americans may be greatest generation yet!

She was on with Matthews, too; he was HORRIBLE to her, yelling at her and kept asking "Who are we fighting in Iraq."

He was a lot more STRIDENT with the Iraqi woman than he was with Sheehan.

[TigersEye]

You've got that right. This story would be nothing without their (MSMs) complicit help in coverage and in deliberately ignoring her contradictions and obvious agenda.

[Howlin]

A volunteer all the way; Casey enlisted, re-enlisted, volunteered for the mission that took his life and earned the Bronze Star trying to rescue fellow soldiers.

All without "cosulting" his mama. Telling, eh?

[Fresh Wind]

Since a grieving mother started camping out near President Bush's ranch 10 days ago...

A guest on Michael Medved's show today, Phil Keever (sp?), an Iraq vet, met with Cindy, and is claiming that she isn't really camping. He says she is actually spending her nights at a local motel.

[Howlin]

Well, well.......just like back in the good old days of 1968 when they held the "Poor People's March" to Washington.

They all put on their overalls and flew first class. I know because I made the reservations for them.

And when the Vietnam Vets camped on the Mall, John Kerry stayed in a dorm at Georgetown.
