So sad...I kind of give her a pass, since she lost a child (I don't know what I'd do if my daughter died...I might go crazy, too...would definitely need God more than ever).
The code pinks and moveon.org types are so shameful to take advantage of her grief. Those people are scum of the earth.

I agree as to scum of the earth. However, I can't really be sure that Ms. Sheehan is being taken advantage of, or is a willing participant in this propaganda ploy.
From where I'm sitting, this woman is a more than willing recipient of the "Advantage" being taken of her. I do not give her a pass - She is damaging many others and, most importantly, sullying her son's sacrifice and for what? IMO, a shameful grab for attention and an attempt to spread her hate and unhappiness out to others. She is trash and Moveon et al simply are using this junk for their own ends, the only logical (But nonetheless shameful) thing in this unhappy episode.
Despite the fact that Cindy Sheehan and an entourage of 50 rolled into town in a bus with the words “Impeachment Tour” emblazoned upon it – fresh from attending a Veterans for Peace convention, no less – the Bush administration has not given this odd woman an icy reception. National Security Adviser Steve Hadley and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Joe Hagin spoke with Sheehan for 45 minutes.
It takes a very long time to see things right again after a child is pulled out of your life, you hate living since your child is dead. You blame everyone for it even God and yourself and you wonder how everyone can just go living life while your world has crumbled. It happened to my family 20 years ago, none of us have ever been the same since.
My heart ache for this woman, one day she will wake up and regret this but the damage will be done. My prayers for the healing of her broken heart.
