Bush protester to leave campsite (Cindy)
news.com.au ^ | 19 August 2005

ANTI-WAR protester Cindy Sheehan said today she would temporarily be leaving her camp site near President George W. Bush's ranch because her mother had suffered a stroke.

"We just had a terrible call," Mrs Sheehan told reporters. "My mom had a stroke."

Mrs Sheehan, whose vigil has drawn attention to her demands for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, said she plans to fly to Los Angeles to assess the situation and hoped to return in the next 24 hours.

Mrs Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in combat in Iraq.

She said supporters, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, would remain at the camp in her absence.

So without Cindy, how can the camp exist.

This whole thing is supposed to be about Cindy meeting Bush. Not MoveOn or Michael Moore.

No Cindy. No camp. If the camp continues, then it is about left wing radicals and not Cindy.

As a rallying point for every half-baked, IQ challenged left wing crank. They haven't had one since Kerry got his keister kicked!

She gave her mother the stroke. No, wait, it was Bush's fault. Bush caused the stroke.

This woman is so hard to look at. She looks like Prince Charles.

What an insensitive moon bat! Be back in 24 hours?

With flying and travel time, what does that give her? Two hours to see her mom in a hospital bed?

"Hi mom! Gee, so sorry you had a stroke. No feeling on your left side. Man, that sucks. Hey, nice TV remote. Did you see me on CNN?!! How about Hardball?! Wasn't I great. How is the food? Whew! Look at the time! Gotta go! Luv ya! Buh Bye!"

Perhaps Her ex-Husband & son Speaking out have caused her to reevaluate her position or tactics. Also the Internet and public records shows she routinely does not pay her taxes oops. Faux Paux there Mother Sheehan. And with all of her inconsistant statements, Like to Anderson Cooper on TV, ABC News finding her letter. Her anti-Israel statements, Endorsement by David Duke she has a bunch of baggage. The MSM attempt to paint this Political Extremist/Activist as just a grieving Mom is unraveling. And the more she speaks the more insane she looks. Let us get her in the open and let the Nation see what she is about.

This may kill the Peace Activists for good. She is allied with the very people who killed her Son. Her support of Lynne Stewart a convicted Terrorist supporter shows she is nuts. What this is really about is a Mother's anger that her Son made his own decision and repudiated her advice. It is a prolonged temper tantrum and misplaced anger directed at President Bush. But it is not surprising. Is It?

She is like Howard Dean a gift to push more fence sitters towards supporting the War. If the Silent Majority speaks up these 1960s Hippie Drug addled Burn outs may eventually go disappear in a Bong somewhere. Hey Dude don't bogart that joint eh.
