Sheehan Resumes Protest Near Bush Ranch

A year after her first war protest in President Bush's adopted hometown attracted thousands and reinvigorated the nation's peace movement, Cindy Sheehan resumed her vigil Sunday.

Under the blazing Texas sun, Sheehan and more than 50 demonstrators again marched a mile and a half toward Bush's ranch, stopping at a roadblock. As Secret Service agents stood silently, Sheehan held up her California driver's license and said she wanted to meet with the president.

"It doesn't say my new address, but I do live here now," said Sheehan, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., and recently bought land in Crawford for war protests. "My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son."

The group then chanted, "This is what democracy looks like! This is what democracy sounds like!" and a few people sang "This Land Is Your Land" while standing near the roadblock before returning to the protest site.

White House spokesman Tony Snow has said that neither Bush nor his staff plan to meet with Sheehan.

"I would advise her to bring water, Gatorade or both," Snow said when asked about Sheehan during a press briefing Friday. "Honestly, when you're talking about the kind of issues that we're talking about, Cindy Sheehan hasn't risen to the level of staff meetings at this point."

"My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son."

The ditch-witch is back. I keep hoping she'll ignore Tony's advice and get heatstroke.

Thank you Tony!

"My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son."

Gee,I thought the press released mention a knucledragger wearing a dishrag....

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Cindy Sheehan, the current face and soul of the Democrat "Traitor/Treason" Party.

As Secret Service agents stood silently, Sheehan held up her California driver's license and said she wanted to meet with the president. "It doesn't say my new address, but I do live here now,"

So why hold up a CA license?

[LibSnubber]

Saw a few pics of the ditch-b*tch today, and one or two had captions stating she was wiping tears during some religous service. Tears my foot - no one wipes tears from above their eyes! She's out there in Crawford sweating like the pig she is... and I'm lovin' it!

[Ditter]

August in central Texas, perfect place for the ditch witch. I hope the Texas sun fries her brain.

[pillut48]

"Earlier Sunday, about 50 protesters attended an interfaith service Sunday on the 5 acres that Gold Star Families for Peace recently bought with insurance money Sheehan received after her oldest son, Casey, died in Iraq in 2004." "She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named also used the insurance money to purchase a lovely marble memorial for her son's grave to commemorate his..."...what? She didn't? Oh, that's right. She spits on his grave and abuses his name for her own gains every opportunity she gets. Feh. Never mind.

[Phibes]

Lol, now that's funny and I totally agree. Yeah, I heard the grave dancer is back with her crocodile tears, hippies, mutants and all. I don't know who's voice is more annoying, her's or Shrillary's. Like nails on a black board I tell ya.

[OkeyDokeyOkie]

The ditch-witch is back. I keep hoping she'll ignore Tony's advice and get heatstroke.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, no! As a Republican, I want to keep Cindy healthy. I want her weatherbeaten visage and her shrill voice to fill the airwaves as reminders of just how obnoxious liberals are.

[Baynative]

That's the best one yet --I'm laughing all by myself.

[Buck W.]

"I hope the Texas sun fries her brain."

How will we know?

[don-o]

a few people sang "This Land Is Your Land"

What happen with "Kumbaya"?

That's what you 'posed to sing and "We Shall Overcome"

Getting off to a poor start here.

[maggief]

[Ditter]

Maybe she will no longer speak, that would be an improvement.

[McLynnan]

Cindy's here ping. Can it be a coincidence we got our first rain in weeks on the day of her arrival?

[mplsconservative]

I see she's wearing her 'tablecloth' skirt again. Must've gotten a lot of compliments the last time she wore it. ~ snicker ~

[aimee5291]

I thought she was on a hunger strike??

[mkjessup]

"My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son."

Oh yeah?

Well my name is Mark Jessup, and Cindy? I think that YOU should meet the same fate as that other American traitor, Rachel Corrie.

Your son's name is dishonored with your treachery and embrace of America's enemies and one of these days, you're gonna get yours and America is going to do nothing but smile about it.

[goldstategop]

That woman isn't being welcomed as a neighbor. For someone so angry over her son's death, she's enjoying hugely living off it.

(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)

[Longbow1969]

If I weren't reminded endlessly by the media about how heartbroken Sheehan is about the death of her son, I'd almost think she was thrilled about it.

[maggief]

Who the hell wears a wool skirt in Texas during August? How many times did she stage the water over the head trick ... at least twice, different water bottles.

[Albertafriend]

OK where is the group shot of the protesters? I want to see ALL 50 of them. They should demand to be in the pictures so they can see themselves on the news.It's not fair that only comrade c gets her picture taken! (saracasm!!)

[weegee]

Her handlers have learned that she can get press every time she starts a protest as opposed to getting some press (that drops off every day, week, month) for a single lengthy principled protest.

[Chode]

[weegee]

"My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son."

The *itch-witch "loved" her son so much (or hated Bush and the war so much) that she considered running down that son with the family car to keep him from being deployed.

She is playing the crowd for sympathy when she deserves none.

[maggief]

[maggief]

She gained too much weight.

[mplsconservative]

I feel kind of sorry for that t-shirt. It doesn't appear Cindy believes in anti-perspirant.

Nice catch on the water bottles.

[dasboot]

Cindy's new address? Now there's a secret the NYT can keep!

[Redleg Duke]

Who?

With a High of 100 degrees in Texas today and Thunderstorms, tonight and High of 96 tomorrow and pm thunderstorms..I am glad Cindy Sheehan is out there. http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USTX0307.html

Went looking for that Cindy Sheehan cartoon on their website but couldn't find it. What I did find was an excellent article on a night curfew patrol by the Marines. I posted the article as a thread here:

Night Mission

[Phibes]

I don't know about you folks, but who the hell has time or $$$ to travel around the world bi#$@ing about Bush? I can hardly find time to watch a DVD these days. What a complete attention whore.

[CedarDave]

Cindy's here ping. Can it be a coincidence we got our first rain in weeks on the day of her arrival?

Any lightning bolts come her way?

[SelmaLee]

She looks so hot, tired, and miserable out there in the Texas sun.

Good.

You gotta love it! I never cared much for Snow, but, now my respect for him has grown immensely. He seems born to be the press secretary.

[relictele]

"My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son."

Arrest her for accusing the President of a crime.

[Bigg Red]

I hope the Texas sun fries her brain.

I doubt if there is one left to fry.

What happen with "Kumbaya"?

[AmericanMade1776]

Cindy loves her paparrazi.

[GW and Twins Pawpaw]

The good part is it rained today across Texas. The bad part is Momma Moonbat was here while it was cool. Rain won't last for long. But there is hope: August is always our hottest month.:-)
