Sheehan calling it quits in protest movement
Tuesday, May 29, 2007
From staff reports
Cindy Sheehan, whose anti-war protests near President Bush??s Crawford-area ranch catapulted her into the national spotlight in 2005, said Monday that she??s leaving the protest to others.
??This is my resignation letter as the ??face?? of the American anti-war movement,? she wrote on the Web site Daily Kos. ??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.?
The 49-year-old peace activist, who became the face of the anti-war movement after her son Casey was killed in Iraq, also wrote that she was leaving Crawford, including the peace camp she named for her son.
??Camp Casey has served its purpose,? she said. ??It??s for sale. Anyone want to buy five beautiful acres in Crawford, Texas? I will consider any reasonable offer. I hear George Bush will be moving out soon, too. . . which makes the property even more valuable.?

yes but anyone that would celebrate the departure of a woman who lost her son in a war not to defend his own country but to invade another and who was so sorely mistreated by a government that cares so little about the lives of its citizens that it would shit all over a woman who made a sacrafice such as this is pretty monsterous... i unnow anti-war, pro-war it is pretty disgusting to demonize someone who was forced to give up her son to the shithole desert hell of iraq...

As far as I'm concerned she shit on her sons grave all for fame. He wasn't drafted and there is a reason why her family disowned her and her husband divorced her ass. She is either a disgrace to motherhood or she just went nuts and is in need of psychiatric help.
Have a good one!:s4:

i suppose she probably went a little nutzo but i think you gotta cut her a little slack in that department considering she had to live through her son dieing... i unnow i kinda feel like that pretty much trumps most things

I think what she did required a lot of fortitude and personal sacrifice. She was trying to stop the insanity so other mothers wouldn't have to experience her loss. Since she started her quest, a couple a thousand more mothers have to grieve over their sons and daughters. I have no Idea what noble mission we are attempting in Iraq other than to make oil companies richer and supply cannon fodder for the war contractors, And, Oh yeah, now that I'm on Board, to RV the Iraqi Dinar. This is like a hedge bet for me. If by some infintesible chance Iraq stabilizes, I'm on board. A one in a million chance, so my odds are about the same as lotto.

That is a lot more patriotic than my thoughts on Iraq. And as far as her family bailing on her, shame on them. I'm pretty sure her son would have been damn proud of his mother, at least she got off her dead ass and let the government know she didn't appreciate them killing young men and women for oil.
