Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan announced Monday she is giving up her role as the "face" of the American anti-war movement.
Sheehan, 49, of Vacaville, Calif., lost her 24-year-old son Casey in Iraq on April 4, 2004. She has since emerged as one of the most vocal and high-profile opponents of the war, drawing international attention nearly two years ago when she camped outside President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch to protest the war.
"I am going to take whatever I have left and go home. I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to regain some of what I have lost," Sheehan said.

Surviving children???? Lady, you can't unring the bell you started ringing against your country over the body of your son whom you didn't raise.........I suspect she has been paid off.
GOOD RIDDENS.
the stupid cow heads back to “Vacaville”...how appropriate.
She’s never been anything more than a handy gimmick for leftists.
Not true. Sheehan was scheduled to appear on a talk show a year or so ago, but declined. The woman that replaced her as a guest did not raise her son, and that's where the confusion arose and has persisted.
There are enough things we can say about Sheehan without perpetuating disinformation.
From what I hear her family disowned her LONG ago
The left has pulled her funding for sure. The Clintons have told Soros and Code Pink to stop writing checks to her.
The bovine b****h will NOT be welcome back to this part of Northern California. I hope she does come back, though, as I still want to meet up with her ugly puss at the produce aisle of Raley’s.
She’ll spend the rest of her life sorting out the mess she made. Good luck to her.

she must have saw what Chavez was really like. Shame on her.
If you want some real political and Iraq war bias, pick up the latest issue of Rolling Stone (not sure of the issue date, but it has Keith Richards and Johnny Depp on the cover).
In one article, the author states that some old adviser to Reagan (I forget his name) says that in ‘08 “Republicans should abandon the idea of winning and vote for the ‘most conservative Democrat instead: Hillary Clinton.”
LOL!
In the same issue Rolling Stone blasts the war and calls it “The President’s War.” I thought Congress approved authorization of force. And Hillary voted FOR it. If they want to speak in those terms, isn’t it more appropriate (and fair) to call the Iraq War Congresses’ war?
If I can find the article online, I’ll post it... with a ‘barf alert,’ of course!
cindy’s downfall was when she started attacking the dems for not doing her bidding regarding the war........she turned on them, they shut her down.....no one wants to hear from her now.
Having been there and done that myself, I agree that her earlier actions were wrong and harmful, but applaud her ability to examine the truth and change.
She is taking the millions made in what the Left is only interested in - money. This was not about her son, Casey, it was about making money regarding her loss of her young son, who volunteered to serve his country and was killed in action.
What Cindy needs is a good grief therapist.
;-)
Cut and run......at least she practices what she preaches...
After two years of embarrassing your son’s legacy, you finally realize that the left has no principles and is only interested in regaining its power in D.C. The left doesn’t care about you or your son, or about war or peace....only power! If you really are interested in improving American policy, come over to the conservative side and fight the loony left!
Either that, or her usefulness to the rabid Leftist's has come to an end......
her shelf life expired
49? She looks way older.
The thing about Cindy is that she is a nutcase. She wants all the troops home two weeks from now without the slightest thought or concern over what would happen next.
She has one short sighted, self centered, fixated goal without any peripheral vision at all. She just doesn’t care. In short, she’s an obsessed, uninformed, misguided nut and the Left finally woke up to that fact.
Hmmmmm, lemme see, this is definately all about someone.
“The left has pulled her funding for sure.”
Bingo. The checks have stopped coming in.
“I’m going home for awhile to try and be normal,” she said.
Riiiiiiight. Good luck with that you nut!
(singing)
“So long, farewell, auf wiedersein, goodnight.
Your hapless kin will fire at you on sight.
Dum da dee ump ump dum dum dum ....”
I seem to recall her husband divorced her, and her children don’t want anything to do with her.
Hope she enjoyed her 15 mins. of fame.
Anyone care to bet as to how long it’ll be until she’s back?
What’s left when the useful part of a “useful idiot” is used up? ;)
I don't think the left EVER wakes up to anything. My guess is that internal polling numbers found her to have become a drain on the dim party, so they cut her loose. As nutty as she is, if the dims thought she would help them in the election, she would still be invited to every event and the media would still be covering her every move.
I actually feel bad for the lady. She obviously had and continues to have mental problems as a consequence of her son’s death. The Rats expoited Sheehan’s mental problems. But she is reasonable enough, finally, to realize she was just a tool.
This looks very bad for the Dems.
Yep, she has been paid off just as the Wilsons have. They now live in New Mexico.
“one short sighted, self centered, fixated goal without any peripheral vision at all”
the epitome of leftist ideology
You nailed it with you comments regarding the Dim’s and how they use people up and toss them away, and that change can only happen in this country through conservative principles and values.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, she’s within 60 miles of me!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The only thing wrong with this caricature is that she was always laughing it up and having a good time.
I actually wish her well. Even though she was probably a bit nutty anyway, I think she was a victim in a lot of ways. She lost her son and went close to the edge, then some very unsavory, selfish people latched onto her grief and pushed her over it.
I hope that, after some time spent in the real world, with her real family, she’ll be able to find a bit of peace.
I think she changed because she has been dropped and her money has dried up, not from any change of heart. This woman was told what to say, how to act,etc. I’d go so far as to say she never had an original thought of her own. She was created by the likes of Moveon.org., promoted by them and picked up and pushed by the media.
Bingo!
“After two years of embarrassing your son’s legacy, you finally realize that the left has no principles and is only interested in regaining its power in D.C.”
You give her too much credit saying that the left fooled her. She’s the one who chose to attack them... Biting the hand that feeds you is never smart.
I wish this lady luck, but she should never involve herself in things she doesn’t understand ever again.
Either paid off, or visited by some of the same sort of folks Hillary used to sic on “bimbo eruptions.” (Not to mention, Vince Foster...)
Maybe she can work for the Global Warming ® movement.
Of course not, but now she won't get the media coverage she had before.
