Cindy Sheehan uses insurance money from son's death

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- War protesters will have a new and bigger gathering place when they return in August to President Bush's adopted hometown: a 5-acre lot bought with insurance money Cindy Sheehan received after her son was killed in Iraq.

Gerry Fonseca, a fellow war protester who acted as Sheehan's agent, said he recently bought the vacant lot about a mile from downtown Crawford -- and about 7 miles from Bush's ranch -- for $52,500. About half the land is pasture, and the other half is woods, he said.

"If Cindy Sheehan came to town, I don't think anybody would have sold her any property," Fonseca, of Eagle Rock, Missouri, said Thursday.

Sheehan, of Berkeley, 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.

There goes the F'in neighborhood.

I hope they have land use laws or Crawford is screwed. You can pack a bunch of smelly hippies on 5 acres.

[sionnsar]

Sounds pretty desperate to me.

[EagleUSA]

She will clearly go into the Liberal Loon Hall of Fame, along with other notables such as Gore, Kennedy, Kerry, Carter, Clinton, Dean and other reality-deficient hard leftists.

[BufordP]

Makes you wonder ... if President Bush relocates, would she follow him wherever he goes? What Hell!

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

Discount any source which refers to her, even in quotes, as 'Peace Mom.' (ignoring the recursive nature of this post however:))

[pissant]

Perfect time for one of those famous Texas brush fires.

[proudmilitarymrs]

Can anbody say "stalker"?

[najida]

Dang,
what a witch.

[bmwcyle]

Got a match?

[dead]

We need to name Cindy's new spread.

• Casey's Tombstone?
• Disgraceland?
• The Western Outhouse?
• The Chicken Ranch?

[HungarianGypsy]

She's really beginning to sound like a crazy stalker.

[Psycho_Bunny]

"Peace mom".

lol.  The names the Left comes up with are sooo laughable.

[Xenalyte]

Poor Laura . . . she must be devastated that such a hottie moved so close!

How will she ever keep Dubya on the ranch with that vision of loveliness and feminine grace so near at hand?

[Howlin]

Okay, let me dive right in.

$52,000? Insurance money she got from the government?

How much is the death benefit for a military death?

And didn't we read somewhere that her husband got half that death benefit?

[Ouderkirk]

[CertainInalienableRights]

So I guess we can assume that her son's grave now has a proper marker since she obviously has cash to spare?

[stbdside]

I think eminent domain should come in handy in this case.

[pissant]

Don't need it. Some smelly hippy will drop his joint start the BBQ.

[Howlin]

See 17, please.

[kinghorse]

People like the Peace Mom are going to need protection from the mob the day after we get hit hard again.

[ASA Vet]

Maybe the County can use immanent domain to take her land for construction of a public toilet.

[SaveTheChief]

That is one mentally sick woman. She needs help.

[rhombus]

Pretty stupid thing to do. Bush won't be President in a mere 2 years. Then all the "pink freaks" will move on to harass someone else leaving Cindy with her land in Texas. I expect when she's out of the spotlight she won't care much about Crawford.

[pissant]

She also recieved the George Soros death benefit package.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I also have to wonder if there are any stalking laws on the books in Crawford. This woman is one sick individual.

[X918]

For those who wished Bush got a taste of illegal mexican neighbors.......

This stupid trailer park sow will make illegal alien harbor houses look well refined.

Kind of reminds me of the South Park episode where hippies invade the town.

[Howlin]

Something doesn't add up here.

[BufordP]

If I were Bush I'd reserve his area along the property line for raising pigs and composting.

[Koblenz]

So when Bush is at his ranch in August, he'll be in 70 degree air conditioned rooms and a bunch of idiot anti-war folks will be standing in a vacant lot seven miles away in the 110 degree heat.

Sounds fine by me.

[fortunecookie]

If I was Bush, or if I see her at one of her protests, I recommend a big pink sign with black lettering:

Mother Sheehan, why have you abandoned your other children?

[Howlin]

Do you have any information for Number 17?

[Frank_2001]

When she and her fellow Code Pinkos are there, it could be called "The Cow Pasture";)

[bcsco]

Not only was this a straw purchase, Fonseca lied to the owner about why he was buying the property. See thread, already posted, below...

Sheehan is so full of it! Her name is NOT on any property in McLennan County, Texas. Nor is her "agent's" name [Gerry Fonseca] on any property in McLennan County.

I hope the IRS gets this jobless bum!

Soros bought it. I don't even think they try to hide such things.

[aligncare]

...May I have a showing of hands, please....Anyone out there prefer war to peace? Let's see...1, 2, 3...Okay, I see. Anyone out there prefer armed resistance and combat to capitulation to the demands of racists, religious bigots and Islamofascists bend on world domination? Higher, please...let's see those hands..........

[pissant]

Well, she manages to fly all over the world on short notice, stay in fine hotels, and obviously eat too much. Pretty good for someone who is unemployed.

[RebekahT]

Buying a plot of land near someone isn't stalking.


I thought her son had a wife? Why isn't she the recipient of this $$ from the military?

[Christian4Bush]

We need to name Cindy's new spread.

"Loathsome Dove Shooting Gallery"

[Polyxene]

Osama's Mama's Place

[kinghorse]

Oh it adds up. They have a party whose primary donors are trial lawyers. They can sit on their ass 24/7 figuring every angle. This is right up their alley. These guys took off the gloves November/December 2000. They fight like terrorists now.

[rwfromkansas]

I used to have some sympathy for her.

Not anymore. This lady needs to be locked up in the nuthouse.

YESTERDAY.

She seriously could be psycho enough to try to assassinate the president.

[kromike]

It looks to me like Cindy is creating her own little Middle East microcosm:

Bush ranch = Israel
5-acre lot next door = a motley group of whiny, hostile, rabid, pathologically-violent (peace activists are rarely know to be "peaceful" with opposing points of view) animals who are incapable of contributing positively to Civilization.

Sound familiar?

[ExTexasRedhead]

I highly recommend Cindy to be the keynote speaker at the Democratic Convention. That way, the DNC can use her as their poster child. What better way for the country to see what wackjobs the Democrats are?

[Tall_Texan]

From now on, she deserves to be called "Peace Stalker". I mean, seriously, if this chick were doing this to anyone but somebody the media hates, she'd be labelled a stalker. If she was doing this to Clinton, she'd be a stalker.

Laura should get a restraining order.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Why, you're a hippieist! (Or is that, sheehanist?)

[the OlLine Rebel]

Disgraceland?

LOL I like that!
