Cindy Sheehan buys property in Crawford - MEGA BARF ALERT!

Cindy Sheehan Buys Property in Crawford Jul 27 1:33 PM US/Eastern

CRAWFORD, Texas

War protester Cindy Sheehan has purchased a 5-acre plot in Crawford with some of the insurance money she received after her son was killed in Iraq.

The group she helps lead, Gold Star Families for Peace, says on its Web site that it will return next month to protest the war in Iraq in the small town near Waco where President Bush has a ranch. Like last year, Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004, will again demand to meet with the president.

"We decided to buy property in Crawford to use until George's resignation or impeachment, which we all hope is soon for the sake of the world," Sheehan said in a newsletter set to be sent to supporters Thursday. "I can't think of a better way to use Casey's insurance money than for peace, and I am sure that Casey approves."

Her anti-war gathering in Crawford is scheduled for Aug. 16 through Sept. 2. But Bush is scheduled to be at his ranch mainly during the first two weeks of August.

Sheehan, from California, reinvigorated the anti-war movement last summer with her peace vigil, which started in ditches off the road to Bush's ranch. As it grew, the group also set up its protests on a private, 1-acre lot closer to the ranch.

That's okay. Bush will be out of office in a few years and she'll be stuck with the property. What a buffoon...

Oh yeah? Then why did he re-enlist? I'm sure he'd prefer the money be used to help the families of the fallen.

Ha! She spent that money as soon as she got it. Back taxes, penalties and a house.

This is about the ONLY instance I can imagine where a government taking of private property by eminent domain might not be a bad thing.

I can see it now.
GWB cleaning up around the yard after a long day, the sun is setting, and Gwb pauses seemingly to watch the beautiful red/orange hues being painted upon the sky. Then he grabs hold of his shovel and quickly flings the last of the cow patties up and over the fence.

Meanwhile, on the sheehan estate, cindy is heard to say " I love my new property in crawford, but i don't understand why it rains sh@t all the time."

She has really become a liability to the left wing group (but don't tell them).

I believe SGLI is now up to $400,000. And, she may have not have gotten all of it, Casey's father may have been a beneficiary. So, if the purchase is final, wouldn't it be a matter of public record & you could find out exactly how much this little piece of bottom land cost this looney-tune?

OOHH!! We oughta get some FReeps going that would consist of bagpipes playing the national anthem, and other wonderful patriotic songs. Flying our flag. Reading stories of great military victories, and General Patton's speech.

Couldn't hurt. See how SHE likes it.

(Too bad she'll never be there to enjoy it. Too busy with engagements with Castro, Chavez, and their pals)

When Casey died SGLI was $250,000 if he took the full amount....now it's $400,000 and mandatory.........when they sign these papers they are advised to divide the amount equally to the parents(at least that is what my hubby does) but they are not obligated to do that.......

She truly is making money on her dead son's body and against his views on the war.

She owed all kinds of money from taxes and was in trouble from what I read, but all of a sudden she's making good bucks and buying land with money earned as an extreme left wing activist.

Her son is truly spinning in his grave over her actions.

We have to wonder how many terrorist she inspired to keep fighting and how many soldiers she in effect has gotten injured or killed with her intervention.

I'm hoping for the first positive use of the new Kelo Decision. Have the Town of Crawford seize the property by eminent domain and put in something useful like a Denny's.

A total nutball and the epitomie of today's modern American democrat party.

She can buy property for her protesting folly, but, IIRC, there is no headstone for her hero sons grave.

She's loony.

Deeds are public records. Should be easy to find out how much the land cost. And there may be land use limitations, so I wouldn't count on her being able to do a mass camp out.

I hope not, I am sure the residents of Crawford are not real happy with her moving in and bringing disruption to their quiet town. I can't see her having alot of friends there. And when all is said and done, she's not going to have alot of friends anywhere after the election. Everyone has got to think she's a screwball and the democrats are just using her as a prop.

A good reporter would have told us where the other (99?) percent of the funds came from.
