CRAWFORD, Tex., Nov. 26 -- Dancing to reggae music and hugging her supporters, Cindy Sheehan led an anti-Iraq war rally Saturday at a one-acre campsite adjoining the ranch where President Bush is spending his holiday weekend.
As in August, when she galvanized attention and made headlines for days with similar protests, there were songs and speeches and demonstrators holding signs reading "Bring the Troops Home" near the main entrance of the 1,600-acre ranch where Bush has been vacationing since Tuesday.
Unlike then, when hundreds came from all over the country for major events at the two campsites named after Sheehan's son, who was killed in Iraq, Sheehan found herself addressing a crowd of only about 100 Saturday afternoon.

The way some of the DUers act, you would think they have nothing to be thankful for. They were probably at home playing video games in their mothers basement..

I'm surprised it was that many. By the looks of that picture posted, it seems that many of her "supporters" are tiring of her also.
The name of her book is insulting to fathers everywhere-Not one more mother's child-she seems to infer that men do not grieve as much when a child dies and this is pure B.S. I read an article on sheehan where she mentions her estranged husband and the fact that since he did not carry Casey in the womb or nurse him he is not as vocal about his grief. Just because he is not as vocal about his grief does not mean he does not hurt every bit as much as she does and maybe even more.
Cindy: Your fifteen minutes are up. You had a good run of it. Now off to obscurity with ye!
As a mother, she's worthless. As a grieveing mother she would at least be pathetic if she weren't so addicted to encouragemnent from a large collection of zombies.
...98 of which were reporters...
Well, lessee....one...uh, two...don't forget the folks whom they rented the circus tent...three, four, five...band menbers in the background (who are curiously absent...)
How much worse did she make the death of her son by openly displaying her hatred for everything her son stood for?
I hope her family will forgive her for what she has done and take care of her.
Fox News reported the crowd as only about a dozen actual "supporters". Even the Post's disgusting attempts to multiply the truth ten times the actual amount makes her look pathetic.
Bye bye Cindy! Maybe you can find other family members you can exploit for you own deraged agenda?
Way to dance on your son's grave, Cindy Jihad. At least now you're dancing alone, showing the world your true face.
Maybe I am not a very nice person because I don't.
She deserves nothing from these people who's faces she spit in.
Oh, I don't know. Most of the MSM can be included among her supporters. So, if there were 100 persons in attendance, and 88 of them were reporters, it would probably still be accurate to say that "about 100 supporters showed up."
I'm surprised it was that many.
They may have included all the MSM people, they are her most strident supporters.
Why doesn't she recognize that only 3 of her Democrat heroes voted to bring the troops home immediately. Go whine to the spineless lefties about it who are all talk.
Thanx for that great link, Doc.
The Sheehan Circus was even giving away free food--and lots of it! And still, nobody came. (Ma Sheehan's sis is the lady at the pix.)
