After calling the terrorists in Iraq who killed her son "freedom fighters," anti-Bush activist Cindy Sheehan now says other mothers of those slain in the conflict whose views oppose her own are "brainwashed."
"I have been silent on the Gold Star Moms who still support [President Bush] and his war by saying that they deserve the right to their opinions because they are in as much pain as I am. I would challenge them, though, at this point to start thinking for themselves," Sheehan said.
"How can these moms who still support George Bush and his insane war in Iraq want more innocent blood shed just because their sons or daughters have been killed? I don't understand it," Sheehan stated. "I am starting to lose a little compassion for them. I know they have been as brainwashed as the rest of America, but they know the pain and heartache and they should not wish it on another. However, I still feel their pain so acutely and pray for these 'continue the murder and mayhem' moms to see the light."
"What an elitist, arrogant [remark]," Hallie Lord writes in an online messageboard. "The fact that some of us mothers vehemently disagree with you does not mean that we have been brainwashed. We are perfectly capable of thinking for ourselves and forming intelligent opinions about this war. ... The more you belittle others the less likely they are to hear and respond to your message."

This statement crosses the line in a big way.
That's right Cindy, so STFU you insane, looney, arrogant, mindnumbed, sqawking, opportunist...
I could go on.
Cindy you have no brain to wash.
Keep talking Cindy...
The more Cindy opens her mouth, ht emore obvious her defective mental state shows through.
Cindy is the only military mom who has "absolute moral authority". I know, because I read it in THE new york times.
That's better. I'm not a Gold Star Mother but I know most disagree with Cindy.
I am starting to lose a little compassion for them.
I have no compassion for this witch. Just because the other moms do not agree with her they are brainwashed? This woman has an altered perception of reality.
I am going to laugh hard when this insane, self centered idiot is long forgotten by her new found friends.
Everytime the B*tch in the Ditch opens her mouth, it redefines the term 'beyond the pale'.
I have a nephew in the Army fighting over there, whom I will have the chance to interview this Wednesday.

And now, according to the Skank in the Tank(for Pinkos), my nephew is guilty of conducting 'murder and mayhem'.
Here we have the bravest, most noble people on this planet putting their lives on the line, and this is the reward for their sacrifice ???
Yes, Sheehan and her motley crew have the right to protest, but our soldiers are the ones who are DEFENDING their rights. They don't deserve to be treated this way.
The part of this that really makes me sick is that while America's Finest are fighting and dying to protect us from Islamofascism, these ingrates chant antiwar slogans and crypto-socialist agitprop, all while reaching into my paycheck and taking money that they did not earn in order to prop up their sorry carcasses in a rocking chair at eventide.
To those of you on the Left, again, you have the right to protest, but you DO NOT have the right to shove your protest in my face!
As my history teacher once said, 'you're rights end where my nose begins'.
Man thisa is one seriously whacko rabid nutjob.
Shw got a *serious* case of Liberals Disease.
Does this cuckoo for cocoa puffs, lying mutha
really think that a lot of people are going
to line up behind her, when she starts attacking
all the other mothers and families that have lost
sons and daughters?
The left has gone stark ravinng, frothing at
the mouth, mad dog, *LOONY*!
They are beginning to unravel! This is gonna
get ugly! The way to tell, is the smarter leftie
users behind Sheehan are going to start deserting
her..the collection of really bizzare, and revo;ting
opinions and statement that she's been caught making,
have begun to catch up with her...and Kerry..he can't
save his *own* ass..much less *hers*..with her
pathetic crazy bitch mouth.
LOL!
PSSSSSST...CINDY..It's finally time to pass out the kool-aid..the mother ship is here...
I hope her son haunts her for the rest of her life. This woman is a disgusting C#$%.
Connect the dots to get a glimpse of each individual's pathology.
Momma Sheehan does not need brainwashing: a quick rinse will do the job.
Shall we start calling this little gathering Ditchwitchstock?
it certainly does....all bets are off with timidly criticizing her..this b!tch is guilty of character assassinations and every MSM outlet should have her blog e-mailed/fax with the demand they cover it...here is the link to her blog that day:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cindy-sheehan/camp-casey-day-20_b_6302.html
it is Day 20
After all…
This is a authentic unscripted display of grass roots political dissent.
i hate to play devils' advocate here,but,has anyone noticed the way her demeanor is changing?or when,where,and how, the MSM is portraying her?when she's not on camera,she's all giggly and smiles.everyone is fawning over her.then add camera.wham!instant grieving mom.i don't believe the woman is mentally stable.the left wants to put her on a pillar,and we want to put her in a pillory.anyone want to take a bet on what she does when the cameras go away?sorry,but i value all life.even crack-pots and crack heads.si vis pacem,para bellum
She's a wacko who is utterly being USED by the left. She is a puppet for them .I'm sure it's all carefully scripted . The bottom line is that this is all one more desperate attempt to disgrace Bush , that's ALL this is about and that's ALL the left is about . Not ideas , not plans , just blind Bush haterd.
Which mentally incompetent spokesperson are you referring to? They have so many.
You know...it just occurred to me why so many
people equate libaerlaism, and what they
are callng themselves *now* "Progressives* with
a Mental Disorder...becase it's symptoms
so closely match those of Munchausens Syndrome
By Proxy....The farther Left they are, the more
they *are* a bunch of mental defects..and the
more you ignore them, the more pronounced their
symptoms become.
Democrats really *are* self destructive crazies...
who don't want to keep a "good thing" to themselves.
Bodies of young victims of the attacks by Saddam
and his Ba'ath forces on Halabja.
If Cindy prefers Saddam's Iraq,
Cindy doesn't seem very motherly to me.
This comment by Sheehan is exactly what those on the Right said about her. Now let's see if the Left comes down as hard on her for not having compassion for a grieving mom as they did on the right.
The other night on H & C, Ann Coulter was hoping that Cindy got her own talk show!
B...aroness Cindy Munchausen...
LOL!
I have NEVER seen a more enormous, delusional and self-absorbed ego. Could you imagine the kind of chaos this woman would create if she had any real power?
Why is Cindy Sheehan still talking, and more importantly, why is anyone still paying her any attention?
First Amendment rights are fine and all, but with that right to "free speech", there is a RESPONSIBILITY to provide some reason and logic for making a statement. Not everything spoken aloud carries equal validity or basis in reality.
You can say what you like, Cindy, but you should also be prepared to defend the reasoning on which you base your opinion.
George W. Bush did not kill Casey Sheehan. The actions of a jihadist caused his death.
Direct your anger at the jihadist. It may not be any more effectual, but that response would at least acknowledge reality.
The Left thinks they can do and say as they please, no matter how outrageous it is and no one will say 'nay' to them and since the MSM aids them in their delusion, they may have a point. As for Cindy, she doesn't realize that what she's saying applies to her. As often happens when someone criticizes others, it's themselves they're talking about. In this instance those healthy happy faces at Crawford on Saturday, being Americans and loving their country and their President as only Americans can, with their colorful flags and 'can do' spirit as evidenced by the ladies who arrived with the huge flag made by the children of military personnel, was a strong contrast to the dour and bored looking people (no flags...no color...none) in the Sheehan tent. I know which crowd I'd rather party with.
I'm torn between wishing this broad would shut up and the idea that the more she runs her mouth, the more she will alienate people who listen to her.
Simple minded hate filled speak of the leftist Anti-American faction which is certainly taking over the whole of the Democrat party has me feeling that there really is no middle ground. Cindy is just a small part of the equation but provides a very real look into the goals and tactics of the continuing leftist revolution. We might as well stop kidding ourselves and just get on with it.
Notice the 'make-up' lady giving her a last little 'touch-up' in front of the horde of cameras and reporters? Kinda loses something in the translation, doesn't it. Takes away that 'spontaneous outpouring of grief'. I don't know about you but when I've lost someone close, I couldn't eat or talk to anyone for months and if you'd tried to take my picture I'd have flown into a fury. I don't think it's possible, even for a worthy cause, to turn it on and off like a tap. This isn't about Casey Sheehan; this is all about Cindy. Cindy, Cindy, Cindy!
She deserves no respect and gets NONE from me.
There are about twelve families who lost soldiers in her camp and about a thousand who disagree with her ditch antics.
You are so right. The Left is always so dour. They constantly tell people they can not do things unless the government helps. [That is not only wrong, but depressing as well.] Outside of a couple of signature issues, they are FOR nothing.
Not only are they self-destructive crazies but you can't tell them anything either. None of their blogs will accept comments that aren't filtered...not like Free Republic or even LGF (though Charles will delete a post that's really vile). So there's no chance to debate them or even, using links, prove a point. Their ears and minds are closed. As someone on this thread said, all we can do is 'get on with it' and if they ever wake up they can join us.
Attacking other parents who have lost their sons and daughters, is so unspeakably cruel. There is precious little emotional reslience for them to weather this negativity. Cindy Sheehan is truly sick. Truly sick. She is starting to make Jane Fonda look like a moderate.
The whole world's nuts, cindy.
Except *you*.
...eh? ;^)
So what, there are three protestors and 85 camera people? Jeez
Notice that she now refers to "President Bush" instead of Bush, George, still calls him names but bet PR has been directing her. Of course it is not out of respect for him or the office of the presidency. She is a NUT. It's really too bad that the rest of her (former) family doesn't go public and ask her to shut up and go home. Would it just kill her if her other son Andy enlisted.
I guess she finally got to meet with the "President" - M Sheen, d rated actor who thinks he is president.
>>>It's really too bad that the rest of her (former) family doesn't go public and ask her to shut up and go home>>>
They have. Her husband is divorcing her even.
Anybody sent her black Nike's yet? Just Do It, Cindy.
By now it should be obvious that Ben & Jerry are funding this. They and the far Left are angry that John Kerry "their guy" lost in the 2004 election. And that GW got 4 more years in the White House. The MSM empty suits are cooperating in this charade of portraying this Activist Cindy Sheehan as only a grieving Mother. That Cindy would not meet with Debrah Jones of Marine Moms tells you everything you need to know about this nonsense. That she kicked her ex-Husband and other 3 kids to the curb tells you what kind of self absorbed Attention Whore that she is. That she is being paid and funded by outside groups hostile to Bush as well as 527 groups is beyond suspicious.
That the MSM is assisting in this will back fire. When the public figures out they have been lied to and manipulated the game and Cindy's 15 minutes of Fame will be up. Not going to be a happy ending for Cindy Sheehan who has crapped all over her Son and Family. The Far Left has no shame and has no qualms about using someone.
