The Left is using this woman. They are "working" her, and keeping her stuck in the anger stage of the grief process.

They have no conscience at all to use this woman for their political purposes; and they are no doubt actively searching for another grieving parent to take Cindy Sheehan's place when she falls apart emotionally.

Shamelessly exploiting a mothers grief just to fling feces at Bush.

And .. this is the same thing they did with some of the 9/11 people .. they just used them to further their agenda.

Statement I sent in as a "Hot News Tip" to CNN and am currently mailing out to all my various conservative activists groups.

In the "News medias" coverage of the Bush Ranch Protest, I find it troubling that Journalists are ignoring the fact Sheehan met with President Bush last year after her son's death. The willingness for supposedly "objective" journalists to put their reputations on the line to report a transparent political propaganda exercise raises serious questions about Modern Media's intellectual credibility and journalistic ethics. Story in Sheehan's home town newspaper from last year.

Bush, Sheehans share moments

Since learning in April that their son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, had been killed in Iraq, life has been everything but normal for the Sheehan family of Vacaville. Casey's parents, Cindy and Patrick, as well as their three children, have attended event after event honoring the soldier both locally and abroad, received countless letters of support and fielded questions from reporters across the country.

"That's the way our whole lives have been since April 4," Patrick said. "It's been surreal."

But none of that prepared the family for the message left on their answering machine last week, inviting them to have a face-to-face meeting with President George W. Bush at Fort Lewis near Seattle.

That she is being used is an understatement. By the way, at DU a very large percentage of threads are about her, code pinko, and other related groups. I did not read any mention of an offer to meet at Ft. Lewis. Instead of accepting the offer Cindy Sheehan let herself be talked into making a spectacle of herself in Crawford where she demands a meeting. Sorry lady, you had your chance. The people and groups who are using her for their own purposes will dump her as soon as the reporters tire of the story.

Thank you, Takoma, for getting that article for us to see how the left has manipulated this pathetic mother. Excellent work, as always.

[EDINVA]

thanks for finding and posting this ... without your efforts most of us would NEVER know.

But I am not convinced the left is using her. I get the feeling she's just an unreconstructed hippie who missed out on the 60's action. But she is dishonoring her son's memory and the cause he died for, in the process making an ass of herself.

You read this like a book, the MSM are using that poor woman and it's down right disgraceful!

[GeorgiaYankee]

Do a Google search on Cindy Sheehan and every Moonbat website has used her

here's one that ironically is called "The Amazing Hypocrites" on the ironic website "Truthout" it has an 8-minute video featuring Ms Sheehan and some former soldiers and Marines protesting at Fort Bragg.

Her written op-ed used the Terry Schaivo case to attack Pres Bush and Tom Delay.
