If Mr. Schindler insists on being politically active he risks becoming the Cindy Sheehan of the right

Nice that you pointed out the 'right' are for life. And, thus, shows Crist is not part of the 'right'. He can claim anything but his ACTIONS shows his heart - what he is REALLY all about.

>> Mr. Schindler... risks becoming the Cindy Sheehan of the right

I've heard this from three or four unfriendly posters. It makes no sense whatsoever. Must have come out of some liberal focus group.

The differences are night and day. Bob Schindler fought for his daughter's life and the enduring value of her life. Consistent with that, he now he speaks out against a candidate who was supposed to protect his daughter but refused.

In contrast, Cindy Sheehan speaks for Cindy Sheehan, not for her son. She actually exploits his death to advance her own political agenda. She uses his death to denounce the very cause he fought for and died for. By this, she denigrates her own son! Worse still, in calling for the U.S. to cut and run, she gives aid and comfort to the very enemy who killed her son.

The contrasts go on and on. Cindy Sheehan is a media creation, Bob Schindler is shunned by the media. Sheehan is a clown, Schindler is salt of the earth. Sheehan is a professional protester who shows up at demonstrations and sucks up to the likes of Hugo Chavez. Schindler is simply a dad.

To equate the two is demented.
