Recently in Cindy Sheehan Category
Haven't done one of these in a while - Cindy's moonbatty antics bore me. Yesterday, though, she closed (if that's possible) ranks with Murtha and much of the media in convicting the Marines who fought in Haditha and have yet to benefit from a finished investigation, much less a fair trial.
Written on the same day that terrorists slaughtered 20 civillians on buses, and knowing full well that it was a fairly normal day for the terrorists, Cindy wants us to know that regardless of the outcome of any investigation and/or legal proceedings, she knows who the real monsters are - and it ain't just a few bad apples, either. From My Lai to Haditha By Cindy Sheehan:
War turns our mostly normal American youth into wanton murderers who have lost their own humanity and love of others. Haditha in this war and My Lai in another disgusting war were unfortunately not aberrations.
Oh, and this caught my attention as well:
Our soldiers need to start disobeying the unlawful order to even be deployed to Iraq and not raise their weapons in appeasement to the Bush Regime and say: "This war is the criminal, I am not. Threaten me if you will, but I am not going to be an accomplice in your crimes against humanity."
That, my friends, sounds like sedition to me.
about this announcement from a few minutes ago:
Anti-war mom Sheehan will not run for Senate
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, the anti-Iraq war activist whose son was killed in the conflict there, put an end to speculation on Thursday that she would launch a long-shot bid to become a U.S. senator from California.
Sheehan, speaking in front of San Francisco City Hall, said she would not run for the office.
"If I thought that running for Senate would bring our young people home more quickly I would do it in a minute, but I am not convinced that that would do so," Sheehan said.
Cindy running for Senate would have been great fun - I would have shelled out for pay-per-view to see her debate Dianne Feinstein. Now I'm going to have to look elsewhere for comic relief during the election. Bummer.
As you've probably heard, there's a Cindy Sheehan for Senate blog. Since y'all know how strongly I feel about Cindy, you probably knew I'd jump in with my take....
As far as I'm concerned, it would make the campaign fun - can you imagine a debate between Sheehan and Feinstein? Liberal persuasion aside, they're not even on the same planet. You'd be able to play the answers to the moderator's questions randomly at parties and see if anyone could match the answers each other or even to the questions. And besides, it would be really fun to see Cindy get her ass handed to her by someone on the left for a change - rather than the usual dodge we get now.
If you haven't voted at the Cindy for Senate blog, please do so right away.

It's a list that's sure to grow very long.
It's a new year, but the moonbats remain the same. The Senorita of Shameless Exploitation yesterday shows us once again the immeasurable distance between her thought processes and reality:
"Then we have the unfortunate innocents of Iraq. I have heard reports of up to as many as 200 of them killed yesterday. So if 200 were reported, one has to really wonder what the true count was. Bill O'Reilly and George Bush define a terrorist as someone who "kills innocent men, women and children." Am I the only one who sees the irony and stunning hypocrisy in this statement?" Who do Bill and George think are being killed in Iraq? Well-trained and an organized Army? Terrorists? We all know that is false. This is who is being killed in Iraq: living breathing human beings, identical to Americans, or any other human beings on earth, who are just trying to go about their lives trying to survive in a war torn country that was no threat to America or our way of life."
Cindy suggests that the "200" deaths are attributable to Bush, therefore the artificially low number reported. Here's who really killed 200 people two days ago:
KERBALA/RAMADI, Iraq (Reuters) - Two suicide bombers killed 120 people and wounded more than 200 in attacks near a Shi'ite holy shrine and a police recruiting center on Thursday, the bloodiest day in Iraq for four months.
Seven U.S. soldiers were killed in two roadside bomb attacks, three bombs exploded in Baghdad and insurgents sabotaged an oil pipeline near the northern city of Kirkuk, causing a huge fire.
Coming a day after 58 people died in a wave of bombings and shootings, the latest bloodshed ratcheted up tension between Iraq's minority Sunni Arabs and majority Shi'ite Muslims.
Am I the only one who sees the irony and stunning hypocrisy in Cindy's refusal to see that her beloved "freedom fighters" are the terrorists responsible for the deaths?
In a rare moment of clarity, Cindy admits the ineffectiveness of her (along with the rest of the hate America crowd) tactics of marches and vigils:
"Apparently, candlelight vigils do very little to stop, or even slow down a little, the carnage committed by the war criminals in DC."
I wonder if this revelation affects her plans for a moonbat convergience in Crawford this Easter. So what to do to correct it? More of the same!
"Hold your vigils and marches in relevant places: such as warmongering local Congressional offices."
Yeah, Cindy, that should do it. (snicker)
To go from this:
To this:
Shows that Cindy's acting skills are improving. I bet she's taken lessons. Maybe she'll get her own TV show next year.
Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin
In London, Euromoonbats continue to fawn over Cindy Sheehan. Now they're turning her into the Princess of Pathetic Plays:
LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. peace activist Cindy Sheehan, who won wide attention with a vigil outside President George W. Bush's ranch in the name of her soldier son killed in Iraq, is the subject of a new play by Nobel laureate Dario Fo.
"Peace Mom" received its world premiere in London on Saturday night, starring British actress Frances de la Tour, with both Sheehan and Italian dramatist Fo in the audience.
The one-woman show is based on extracts from Sheehan's letters to Bush and other writings. De la Tour delivered the monologues beneath large pictures of Sheehan's son Casey and a tank in the Iraqi desert in front of a plume of fire.
"Frances did such an amazing job of conveying my feelings of anger and betrayal," a tearful Sheehan said after the play.
I'm assuming this was classified as a comedy. If the name Frances de la Tour (pictured to the right) sounds familiar, it is. She plays the giant headmistress Madame Maxime in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Additionally, the play is going on tour:
The play was rushed into production to conclude a day-long conference of activists opposed to the U.S.-led war in Iraq, with de la Tour reading some passages from a script.
Fo, the leftist playwright who won the 1997 Nobel Prize for Literature, said his wife and artistic partner Franca Rame would star in a longer final version of the play in Italy.
I guess he has a knack for fiction. By the way, one of Fo's websites is creepy.. And here's another website of his where apparently, he's running for mayor of Milano. And if you're curious what kind of it takes to win a Nobel prize for literature, here's a sample of his "work" from 2004:
Dario Fo’s new play has aroused not only ire but a lawsuit. The Nobel Prize winner’s latest, The Two-Headed Anomaly, pokes fun at Italian premiere Silvio Berlusconi, with Fo himself playing the prime minister and Fo’s wife, Franca Rame, playing Veronica Lario (Berlusconi’s wife).
In the play, Berlusconi is visited by Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who gets shot by Chechen rebels, and part of Putin’s brain is put into the Italian’s head. The result is a vodka-drinking, confused drunk worried about men trapped in a submarine.
What a good choice to write a play about a demented moonbat. And to top it off, here's an excerpt from his bio in Columbia Encyclopedia:
A long-time member of the Communist party (he was denied entry into the United States in the early 1980s), Fo has often been critical of the policies of the Roman Catholic church, which has termed some of his plays blasphemous. Forceful, wittily anarchic, and often disturbing, his work was impeded by Italian censorship before 1962. In 1968, Fo and his wife, actress Franca Rame, with whom he has frequently collaborated in writing and acting, began presenting plays on contemporary issues. The most famous of these is Accidental Death of an Anarchist (1970), a farce about the alleged suicide of an anarchist in police custody. Among his more than 70 other plays are Mistero Buffo (1969), Can't Pay, Won't Pay (1974), The Pope and the Witch (1989), and The Devil with Boobs (1997). Fo was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1997.
Say it isn't so! Cindy being canonized by a communist? I wonder where we've seen that before...
Cindy has a new web post! (hat tip: Little Green Footballs)
Odd that it isn't posted at Huffington Post like usual. Maybe she's having trouble getting past Arriana's censors. That's where I usually go for her posts, since it's brighter lit and cleaner than the other places. And besides, I know I can take Deepak Chopra if he gets too rowdy. Anyway, the Damsel of Delusion serves up an unusually tasty Thanksgiving treat featuring Moonbat Pie as the desert. So lets get on to the quotes:
My family is spending our 2nd Thanksgiving without Casey thanks to you and your lies. I am spending the day crying on a plane on my way to come to Crawford to again ask you for a meeting.
Let's forget about the fact that President Bush didn't lie, and never mind the fact that Bush didn't kill Casey, the terrorists did. After 2 years, why does she continue to choose misery? No one is forcing her to cry on airplanes. Why keep stalking the President? Maybe it's all the attention:
But wait - there's more:
Also, since August we have discovered that American forces are using chemical weapons in Iraq . The Army admitted that white phosphorous was used as an offensive weapon against "enemy combatants."
Tsk, tsk. Caught in another one! The Army didn't say that! And let's assume (however wrongly) for a moment that WP is a chemical weapon. In that case, Saddam had a bunch of it! So are you really willing to throw out your "Bush Lied" fiction in favor of a much weaker one? Do none of your handlers give you advice? Oh, and if you're curious about the white phosphorous story, find out from folks who know. Start here.
Cindy also gets more personal than ever before in this post:
Are you and Laura going to hit the sack tonight and toss and turn or stare out of the window worried that Jenna or Barbara may be killed in Iraq?
It's their business, Cindy. And a mite distasteful of you to speculate what the Bushes do in bed, don't ya think? That said, I'd like to think since the twins aren't in Iraq, they'll be doing some tossin' and turnin' in the sack.
Cindy is now the Mistress of Monuments:
Yes, her fans have erected a monument to Cindy. Lots of folks, including me, have said the Dame of Despair needs a hobby to get her mind off all that hate and delusion. She's obviously not the only one:
The artist who carved the 1,200-pound monument, Ron Teska of Wind Ridge, Pa., drove to Crawford the last week of the protest with the stone slab in the back of his pickup. He spent about 45 hours carving it.
And what would be a day at Camp Moonbat without a few faux tears?
Cindy Sheehan, who staged a 26-day protest outside Bush's ranch in August, cried when she saw the 2-foot-high sandstone marker.
I think she should use it as a keychain fob.
Well, she back - and hamming it up for the press:
"I feel happy to be back here with all my friends ... but I'm heartbroken that we have to be here again," Cindy Sheehan said as she arrived at an airport in nearby Waco. "We will keep pressing and we won't give up until our troops are brought home."
Here's a photo accompanying the article showing how heartbroken she is:

Now, we've all seen that the anti-war crown seems to avoid things American, with their Che and Castro T-shirts, communist pamphlets and speeches, etc. So it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that meanwhile, back at the camp, the very same folks who believe that the terrorists who killed Casey Sheehan are "freedom fighters" avoided anything American in their holiday meal:

From the looks of that crowd, soap must be American as well.
Well, the Trollop of Turkeys won't be getting arrested in Texas tomorrow - but all her moonbatty friends will (emphasis mine):
Texas Anti-War Protesters Still Determined
CRAWFORD, Texas - War protesters say they are determined to demonstrate outside President Bush's ranch during the Thanksgiving holiday despite the arrests of a dozen people on Wednesday.
The group had pitched six tents along the road in defiance of new local bans on roadside camping and parking. Many in the group held up signs, including one that said "Give me liberty or give me a ditch."
Give me liberty or give me a ditch?!?!?!? What happened to "Power to the People"? A couple of these nuts wanted to play-pretend to be just like the Matron of Moonbats:
More than two dozen McLennan County sheriff's deputies arrived and asked if they wanted to walk out on their own or be carried. Two chose to be carried.
And we also had a verified sighting of the hypocritical yellow-crested chicken dove:
A dozen others left after deputies warned them they would be arrested.
Just as in earlier protests, some had no reason to be there other than to recapture the drum-banging, flower in the gun barrel, dope-smokin', unbathed days of their fabulously misspent youth:
Among them was Daniel Ellsberg, the former Defense Department official who leaked the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam war, who estimated it was his 70th arrest for various protests since the 1970s.
Whew - Cindy was right! Getting arrested must really be addictive.
"Those of us who finally saw through the Vietnam war saw through this war, and all the actions that were necessary to end the Vietnam war will be necessary here," Ellsberg said Wednesday. "I think the American people will get us out of this (war)."
That's right, Danny. Americans are working very hard to get us out of this war. Let's see, there are the Army-Americans, the Marine-Americans, the Navy-Americans, and the Air Force-Americans. They're working very, very hard to get us out of the war the right way - by winning.
But alas, the Mistress of Missing was nowhere to be found. Apparently, she had a family emergency back in festive and ditchless California. No word on when she would reprise her role as the Doll of Ditches. She just said "soon".
My bet - she won't show up on Thanksgiving day, possibly due to the little-known fact that hippies have trouble getting the turkey just right.
Via Little Green Footballs - The Hen of Hand-Wringing's new book comes out Wednesday! Charles adds:
Will these speeches include the one where she called Iraqi insurgents “freedom fighters?” Or her anti-Israel statements?
Don’t count on it.
All her journal entries will be included:
Now those journal entries are in her book, “Not One More Mother’s Child,” to be released Wednesday. The paperback also contains some of her speeches to peace groups earlier this year, letters to politicians and writings since leaving Crawford.
You know your star has really fallen when the first release of your book is in paperback.
Cindy is hitting new lows. In her delusional world, any nutbag conspiracy theory and false accusation was always a fair straw of hope for her to grasp. And we can at least grant her the attribute of consistancy in her fantasy quest. She's been consistantly wrong from the very beginning.
Her message, however flawed, was guaranteed to have traction with certain groups. We've all seen who's been showing up at her protests - communists, socialists, racists, and the hard-core tinfoil hat factions. Her lack of honesty and sincerity have been transparent to mainstream America, which is why even the leftist media have abandoned her for greener pastures.
So having failed to be embraced by anyone with common sense, I guess nobody should be surprised when, in her desperation, she reaches further and further into the outrageous to get attention. For example, in an especially cynical Huffington Post entry, the Windbag of Woe attacks the President's mother:
Dear Barbara,
On April 04, 2004, your oldest child killed my oldest child, Casey Austin Sheehan.
Did you teach George to use his words and not his violence to solve problems? It doesn't appear so. Did you teach him that killing other people for profits and oil is ALWAYS wrong? Obviously you did not. I also used to wash my children's mouth out with soap on the rare occasion that they lied…did you do that to George? Can you do it now?
No comments from me this time. I want yours. Let me know what you think about "Mother Sheehan" attacking other Moms.
Well, the Femme of Felonious Fake Fatality didn't go to the big house:
They were each ordered to pay $75 in fines and court costs, but Sheehan's lawyer said he plans to appeal the verdict.
No word yet on whether she paid the fine. If she did pay it, doesn't that take away any moral standing to utter the word "liar" about others?
"We weren't demonstrating," Sheehan told reporters after the trial.
Snort. Chuckle. At least U.S. District Magistrate Judge Alan Kay saw right through that crap:
"They were consciously violating the law for publicizing their case," Kay said.
And since the Debutante of Derision loves the limelight so much, she's taking her show on the road again. This time, in Europe!
Hundreds of potential witticisms are swirling around in my head. But this one kinda writes itself.
Earlier I posted about the Girl of Gloom demanding a trial for her protesting without a permit charge. Now we have it in her own words what her defence will be:
"We will try to put on a necessity defense. This is my defense:"
"My dear, sweet boy was killed in Iraq on 04/04/04. He was murdered by an Iraqi insurgent, but George and his lying band of neocon criminals might as well have pulled the trigger. It has been proven over and over again that the thugs lied us into the invasion and are still lying to maintain the occupation."
Uh, actually, no, Cindy. You haven't been paying attention to the news lately, have you? It's been proven time and time again that the administration didn't. On the other hand, you've proven to most sane people that you're a moonbat.
"On 9/26/05, I knew I was breaking the law by sitting on the White House sidewalk without a permit. But, I was sitting there to call attention to the murderers who live and work there. If not for them, I would still have my son and tens of thousands of innocent people would still be alive. Isn't murder a crime? When are those people going to face justice for their war crimes and crimes against humanity?"
Judge, that sounds like an admission of guilt to me.
"Who wants to live free in a world where murderers are allowed to roam free and wreak havoc on innocent citizens and countries?"
"I know I don't."
I know I don't, either. That's why I'm staying right here in the good old US of A. Now, our hapless and humorless Hussy of Hatred could have payed the fine (a bargain at $75.00) and avoided the all-over-but-the-faux-crying conviction she's now going to get. But no, and our fearless flounter-of-law Femme of Fatality is going to face stiffer penalties as a result:
"My attorney, Jon Norris, has informed me that we could be facing up to a 500.00 fine and/or 6 months in jail."
"This seems like a pretty stiff sentence to me for demonstrating without a permit!"
Well, Cindy, you did set out with a goal of breaking the law. But wait! This isn't the end of it! Cindy is planning to further flout the law:
"I am prepared, but I will not be too thrilled, to serve the maximum sentence. I don't think we will get any jail time, but I am certainly not going to pay the fine either!!"
"If I wanted to pay the fine, I would have paid the 75.00 original fine and I would not even have to go to court."
There you have it, folks. I hope the judge hears about her plan...
Sheehan Demands Trial on Protest Charge
WASHINGTON - War protester Cindy Sheehan said Wednesday she was demanding a trial for demonstrating without a permit outside the White House.
Obviously, the Broad of Bad Bereavement isn't getting enough press, what with all the "real" news getting in the way. Maybe she's hoping for a media circus a la Michael Jackson or O.J. Simpson. Has Court TV committed yet?
I wonder if the judge will take a dim view of her previous statement saying that she would skip out on the fine.
Sheehan also plans to revive her protest near President Bush's Texas ranch during Thanksgiving week, despite new county ordinances banning roadside camping.
That new ordinance covers a five-mile radius around the Bush ranch. Look like she'll probably get arrested yet again. Of course, now that she's addicted to it....
I know it's been out for a couple of days, so forgive me if you've already heard about Jimmy Massey, the Marine Sgt who wrote a book about alleged atrocities committed in Iraq. I first heard about it from Gateway Pundit. Michelle Malkin is also covering the story and has a terrific roundup.
Being retired military, this disgusts me far beyond what folks who haven't served are likely to experience. Actions like this embolden our enemies and cause American lives to be lost.
I wonder if he was still on active duty (or inactive reserve) when he started writing his book? Maybe the Marines could call him back for a lawyer party.
By the way - I work with several retired Marines who are quick to tell you that there's no such thing as a "former" Marine. I wonder if they'd entertain an exception in Mr. Massey's case?
Wow. I take a week off to move and look what happens - the Spinster of Spittle Spewing Speeches goes to San Francisco to embrace everything her son didn't. Please go here to see photos and video courtesy of Zombie, who braved the moonbatty minions to show everyone what the MSM would never show.
Highlights include some of Cindy's speech in which she insists the folks who killed her son aren't terrorists - they're her "brothers and sisters". Considering the boost her son's death gave her career and the fun she's now having, I guess it's just natural for her to be grateful to the terrorists for helping her out.
If you go to the "The World Can't Wait" web site, you'll see one of the most definitive lists of nutbags ever. Here are some the folks and groups Cindy is currently aligned with:
Mumia Abu-Jamal (convicted cop-killer)
Aris Anagnos (Wealthy supporter of Marxist and Communist causes)
Edward Asner (Actor turned Moonbat)
Axis of Justice (Listen to this and this to get an idea of what they're about)
William Ayers (a terrorist who bombed government buildings during the 70s)
Aimee Allison (conscientious objector - Desert Shield/Storm)
Ed Begley, Jr (Actor turned moonbat)
Father Luis Barrios (Mumia Supporter)
Bob Bossie (advocates desertion, insubordination, mutiny)
Elombe Brath (another "free Mumia" type)
Campus Anti-War Network (violently attacks military recuiters)
Che Cafe ('nuff said)
Citizens For Legitimate Government (tin-foil hat types of the "Bush caused 9/11" variety, also very bitter that Gore lost)
DC Anti-War Network (primarily anti-military, but have branched out into BDS and other areas. My favorite quote from their web site: "An important and very sad part of the situation is how the American press has become the propaganda mouthpiece of Bush and the neocons, especially in their refusal to cover the myriad of non-violent efforts of both the Palestinian and Iraqi peoples to get rid of their respective occupations...")
Victor Toro Ramirez (Terrorist Supporter)
Michael Ratner (Lawyer for terrorists)
Rev. John Fife (helps illegals evade the U.S. Border Patrol)
Robin D.G. Kelley (Communist)
C. Clark Kissinger (Maoist, member Revolutionary Communist Party)
National Lawyers Guild (defends terrorists, illegal immigrants)
Not in Our Name (believes Katrina was man-made)
The Network in Solidarity with the People of the Philippines (communist)
Sunsara Taylor (Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade)
There are lots more, but I think you get the idea.
A press release today from the folks who are hurt the most from the Femme of Fake Fatality's selfish and disgusting antics:
WASHINGTON, Oct.28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Gold Star parents and military family members issued the following statement regarding Cindy Sheehan's die-ins at the White House this week on the occasion of the 2000th death of American servicemen and women serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom:
"We, the parents and family members of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who have served and given their lives defending America in Operation Iraqi Freedom are thoroughly disgusted with Cindy Sheehan and her publicity stunts.
"We are angered that Mrs. Sheehan is once again using our fallen loved ones against our wishes to undermine the cause they voluntarily gave their lives for. Her macabre die-ins in front of the White House do not honor the dead nor do they help the living -- they give encouragement to Al Qaeda to keep killing Americans until we surrender.
"Mrs. Sheehan is offering souvenir bracelets with our loved ones' names on them as bonuses to those who join her in the die-ins at the White House. Her continued abuse of our loved ones makes our blood boil and we demand that she stop trivializing their sacrifices with her tawdry acts.
"We know that Mrs. Sheehan and her allies are not peace activists. She herself has called terrorists fighting for Al Qaeda in Iraq 'freedom fighters'. The groups she works with have openly expressed their support for the terrorists and their contempt for this country. She and they are working to bring about the defeat of America in the war on terror.
"We support our country, we support the war on terror and we honor our loved ones' service."
It's signed by a whole bunch of Gold and Blue Star families. You know, it's one thing for a pundit or blogger to express disgust with Cindy's theatrics, but these are the folks that are directly harmed every time the maiden of malevolence preens for the cameras. If you have a blog or web page, how about publicly thanking these folks for their courage and sacrifice, and let your readers know that there's two sides to the story. Then do it again next week.
You know the MSM won't.
That's what I get for going to sleep - apparently the Matriarch of Moonbats was arrested.
All the details are at Michelle Malkin
As I've previously mentioned, today Cindy will go to the Iraqi Embassy at 10:30 to hand out sympathy cards. At around 1:00 p.m., back to the white house to mock our fallen heroes and everything they died for by pretending she's one of them as she feigns death on the sidewalk. Her plan is to tie up police resources as many times as possible as she shoots for the one day protest arrest record. I'll bet the DC police have better things to do than to waste their time carrying Cindy. Of course, she doesn't care if an armed robbery or shooting or drug sale goes unaddressed due to personnel shortages.
If you live in DC (or are visiting), are the victim of a crime, and the police took longer than they should to respond, please go ask Cindy what noble cause she's impeding the DC police for.
Tomorrow, she branches out. Since the dead aren't giving her the attention she so desparately craves, she's going to aim for some live troops as well. She'll be harrassing wounded troops and their families at Walter Reed Hospital, at 10:30.
Welcome to Michelle Malkin readers! Please feel free to look around while you're here!
Update: In a related event, Zombie has some pictures of the smiling, happy faces of the folks attending a couple of the festive galas celebrating the deaths of our troops. Via Little Green Footballs.
Apparently not satisfied with desecrating the memory of her son, the Damsel of Desecration is seeking more graves to stand on as she celebrates the 2000th death in Iraq at Arlington National Cemetery today.
For those of you that don't know, I'm retired military (USAF). I have a few friends buried in Arlington. I haven't the words to express how foul and hideous this is. So I'll show you instead:
I had more, but this is all I can stand for today.
Another post from AP/Yahoo. It's mostly a rewrite of previous stuff except for this:
"I'll be laying down and not getting up," Sheehan said Tuesday to a small crowd in which the number of journalists exceeded the number of protesters. "When they let me out, I'll do the same thing if I get arrested."
While it may be amusing to see that the Broad of Bitterness can't draw a crowd, there's another message here. Make no mistake about it, the liberal media supports this demented and pathetic woman 100%. If no other protesters show up, it won't be because the press didn't try.
Via Polipundit.
Update (26 Oct 2005, 0500): Here's a visual:
The Matron of Melancholy is showing up in the news now that the 2000 dead in Iraq mark has been reached. Here's one (via AP/Yahoo) where she talks about her beef with Hillary Clinton:
"I believe that any candidate who supports the war should not receive our support," Sheehan said Tuesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It doesn't matter if they're Senator Clinton or whoever."
The whole piece is pretty much a rehash of her earlier writings on Clinton. But we know from past experience that the Tootsie of Torment is eating up all the attention.
And here's the scoop from AFP/Yahoo:
Mother of slain US soldier urges civil disobedience to protest war
For those of that are too young to remember the 70s, "civil disobedience" means break the law. She was going to chain herself to the fence surrounding the White House, but now she's just going to lie down on the sidewalk and play dead.
Yup, that's right - Cindy and her communist wacko friends are gonna honor our war dead by mocking them in a hideous publicity stunt. The Pidgeon of Painful Political Protest Platitudes plans to get pinched in plurality:
"And when they let me out I will come back and do the same thing (again) if I get arrested," she said.
Is it too late for Washington DC to pass a "3 strikes" law?
Cindy is back in DC to celebrate the 2000th death.
My regular readers (both of 'em) knew this was coming.
The Mistress of Misery tells about how badly she wants to go back to jail in her latest post:
Each day we will be passing out black wrist bands and we will have each person who picks one up write a KIA troop's name and number on it. Each wrist band will also stand for 50 innocent Iraqis killed. Everyday at 6 PM we will have a "die-in." We will ask everyone who is present at 6 PM to lie down and represent a dead soldier. At that point, the park police will give us 3 warnings before they arrest us.
"Die-in"? Please, not so close to Halloween, Cindy. The Maven of Moonbattery also wants to go sightseeing:
On Wednesday the 26th at 10:30 AM, we will be going to Arlington Cemetery to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Then to the White House for our vigil.
On Thursday the 27th at 10:30 AM we will be delivering a wreath and signed sympathy cards to the Iraqi Embassy. We are asking people who come out to our vigil on the Lafayette Park side to bring sympathy cards. Then to the White House for our vigil.
On Friday the 28th at 10:30 AM we will be delivering flowers and get well wishes to Walter Reed Hospital and we are asking people to bring get well cards to our vigil. Then off to the White House for our vigil.
This is developing, I'll have much more later.
Update 1: Cindy was in Marin, CA over the weekend to speak at a rally with Maxine Waters and others. During the event, she spoke with the Marin Journal about getting arrested being a thrill for her:
"I'm kinda addicted to getting arrested," Sheehan said. "It's like getting tattoos."
Way too much information...
Since we're unofficially now up to 1,999 deaths, Cindy could get her sick, ghoulish, and disgusting "fix" today.
Update 2: I almost missed this one. Cindy makes this statement in her latest post:
"More American soldiers have been KIA in the first 32 months of Iraq so far then in the first 4 years of Vietnam."
1964 is when the Viet Nam war started for the U.S., prior to that we had a minimal advisory presence. By the end of 1967, the casualty number was approximately 11,000. I have no idea what she bases her sentence on - maybe she asked John Kerry. But it doesn't matter since it's just dead wrong.
