Cindy Sheehan, the "peace mom" who made headlines in 2005 by staging a marathon protest outside President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch, said Monday that she no longer wants to be seen as a leader of the anti-war movement.
In a 1,245-word missive entitled "Goodbye Attention Whore" posted on the liberal DailyKos blog, Sheehan said her campaign to end the war in Iraq had strained her relationship with her children, cost her a marriage and left her nearly penniless.

I honor Casey Sheehan’s sacrifice, we all do, that’s never been the issue. But good riddance to bad rubbish. This is someone in serious need of psychological counseling. I hope she gets the help she needs. I’ve never lost a child, so I can only imagine, but her embracing the very enemys of democracy her son gave his life fighting is still the behavior of a traitor. I believe it was this woman who got the left to start calling the “insurgents” by the name “Freedom Fighters”. Only someone with a truly strange view of freedom could say that.
If ever there was a HO-HUM-YAWNER this is it! ! !
Looks like she has been taking them there “smart pills.” She needs to take a few more to get a little smarter about the Bush administration.
Hopefully, her son can now rest in peace...
My, but they are quick to eat their own, aren’t they?
Cindy is broke? Why can’t we all chip in and buy her a new home......in venezuela.
Sheehan’s decision does not surprise me.
First, she could not keep up her emotionalism and hysteria indefinitely. It takes far too much energy, and ruins one’s daily life. It’s bad enough to deal with the unhappiness of losing a child, but how we respond to these losses is very important. Sheehan took one of the worst approaches you can take: resentment. It’s just not healthy. The only other alternative for Sheehan as death, either self-inflicted or lifestyle-inflicted. Sheehan’s animal instinct recharged itself suddenly in an effort to protect her life.
Second, her stance was far too moonbatty even by Dem standards. A group can tolerate someone like Sheehan if it serves their purpose for a while. And the media will eat up anything until it goes sour. But a year-after-year diet of this miserable woman is unpalatable to anyone. She was just, well, so stupid. Her pained face may have launched a thousand cameras, but the things that came out of her mouth launched a lot of lunches.
Cindy Sheehan, you are wrong about a lot of things. I pray that you will find God’s grace in Jesus. I hope someday you will be healed and that you can look back at this period as a turning point in your life for the better, not for the worse.

Kos must be loving that direct link from the Fox News story.
She thinks she needs to clear her calendar to improve her chances to be Rosie’s replacement.
From her resignation letter. Of course by the time she wound things up,
Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.
Cindy obviously ascribes to the “cut and run” theory.
BaBa WaWa is crazy enough to do it.
Frankly the term attention whore is pretty apt of her.
Know how we can prove she was used by the libs? Because of all of the talking points and leftist ideals she was fed, nobody ever told her under no circumstances to use her own money to shovel her drivel. She could have milked Soros and his kind for 100% financing. And her fellow minions knew it.
So who cares?
She should have quit a couple years ago.Would have saved a lot of trouble.
