Cindy Sheehan Dishonors Her Son's Good Name

From the Drudge Report

BUSH PROTESTING MOM CALLS FOR 'ISRAEL OUT OF PALESTINE'; VOWS NOT TO PAY TAXES

Anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan, whose soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq, is calling for Bush's "impeachment," and for Israel to get out of Palestine!

"You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism," Sheehan declares.

Sheehan, who is asking for a second meeting with President Bush, says defiantly: "My son was killed in 2004. I am not paying my taxes for 2004. You killed my son, George Bush, and I don't owe you a penny...you give my son back and I'll pay my taxes. Come after me (for back taxes) and we'll put this war on trial."

"And now I'm going to use another 'I' word - impeachment - because we cannot have these people pardoned. They need to be tried on war crimes and go to jail."

The 48-year-old California mom remains tented up in a ditch along the one-lane road that leads to Bush's Texas ranch.

As her protest entered its second week, hundreds of people with conflicting opinions about the war in Iraq descended on the area.

TIME mag reports in new editions on Monday: Sheehan gets support from her surviving son, Andy, in principle, but he recently sent her a long e-mail imploring her, "to come home because you need to support us at home."

I’m sorry I have to be so blunt on this one, but Cindy Sheehan is degenerating deeper and deeper into absolute kookville. She wants President Bush impeached, but her words are impeaching her own character, not President Bush's. Now she is injecting herself into the Israel/Palestinian debate? Apparently she believes that if we take the side of terrorists that it will end terrorism. Typical liberal logic! I am anxiously waiting for her to come out and accuse Bush of personally ordering 9/11.

Casey Sheehan served honorably and gave his life for our country. What he did was honorable. What she is doing is absolutely disgusting and is dishonoring her son's sacrifice. She might as well be dragging her son through the streets just like they did in Mogadishu.

I’m sure that she is anxiously waiting for her payoff when she writes her book and runs for office. I have zero respect for her. She is using her son to further her own political ambitions, along with her supporters opposing the war.

Please don’t pay your taxes so you will be in a jail cell rather than embarrassing yourself and besmirching your son’s good name.

Shame on you Cindy Sheehan! A true mother would not do this to her son!

How is calling a halt to actions that provoke terrorism "taking the side of terrorists"?

It simply means that you cease to take your side.

i.e., You agree to stop slapping me round the head, I agree not to sucker punch you in the guts every now and then in retaliation. Situation over.

Now if you don't want to stop slapping me round the head, why should I be expected to stop sucker punching you? Because you don't like it? Because you think you're in the right? Hey, I don't like what you do, and I think you're wrong. Situation goes on forever.

As for Cindy Sheehan, if her son died for his country and what it supposedly stands for (as distinct from dying to further George Bush's political agenda) then he died in part so that his mum can raise all the hullabaloo she likes, in whatever way she likes.

And agree with her or not, she's bucking the current trend: don't exercise freedom of speech - they might think you're unAmerican.

I'm sorry, please clarify why what she has said is dishonorable.

That's right - the terrorists don't want us to invade random countries and then act like we just struck a blow at them, and that means that that's precisely what we have to do! You don't want to take the side of the terrorists, do you? They also say that we should wear shoes on our feet, so if you don't wear 'em on your hands that means you're a traitor!

 

A 'true mother' would drag all her son knew and loved through the dirt in an attempt to make what he lived and died for amount to nothing? A 'true mother' would support the friends of those her son died fighting over those he died serving? Then the word 'mother' shall be the darkest, most foul curse to brave a man's lips.

 

Being his mother I think she would know what her son was about a little better than a random-joe-jingoistic-ideologue, please elaborate on how she has drug "all he loved through the dirt" and how exactly do you get off saying that she "support the friends of those her son died fighting". Because that seemed pretty off the mark to me.

 

I am getting a little bit to old to sit down and have kids. At least if I want to see them graduate college. I have, however, lost both family and friends to war. When I feel hatred, it isn't at Lyndon Johnson or Truman. Its at the friends of those who pulled the trigger.

 

Who the fuck is doing the "dragging" here? Is she? I don't think so. Why aren't all Americans listening to her? Honestly? Sincerely? With a heart full of concern? Huh? You fucking neo-conservative nazi fucks! You are shit, and you don't even realize the damage you are doing!

Who, and what, did he die for?! Simple question? What is your twisted view?

You? Brave? Is that what you are saying? You make me laugh.

 

In which wars did you lose family and friends?

 

To Brutus, Clockwood, and the other neoconned who are bothered by Cindy Sheehan:

Be afraid: Cindy is going to be heard now, and the voices of many more will resonate in opposition to your death-dealing. The lies you have swallowed are beginning to reek. So please open your mouths wide and attack her. Your masters are corrupt, and will be exposed and deposed the sooner we get this all out in the open.

 

I find it interesting that some are voicing their avid support of freedoms, yet seem totally unaware that Casey Sheehan exercised HIS freedoms and HIS voice by VOLUNTEERING to serve in the greatest military force on Earth.

Should we and his mother ignore his hard-won freedom of choice? Are you so sure that you're right and he was wrong? Casey Sheehan volunteered to fight because he had the choice to do so by the freedoms that Americans fought for over 200 years ago. Why are you and Mrs Sheehan so right and he so wrong?

There is no question about my sympathy for her losing her son. I avoided writing about her for some time out of that sympathy, but her antics of late have become rediculous and bazaar that it compelled me to write. It is not her opposition to the war that galls me. It is the way she is going about it. In my opinion she is disrespecting her son by her actions. Believe me she is doing herself and her cause more harm than good. She is becoming a laughing stock.

 

Everyone talking about dishonouring her son...

i'd have to say, i've yet to meet one soldier, friend, brother, son, etc, who has come back, and told me that they were thrilled to have been sent to iraq... with the exception of two absolute nitwits, my uncle and cousin, who are both overbearingly republican, and most certianly very mormon...

 

Well, there's two exceptions right there in front of you. So how many other "exceptions" do you suppose there are? Let's see, two for you, two for me, two for .....hmmm, every adult in America? That's a lot of "exceptions", ain't it?

alright, so 8/10 american soldiers, hate what they are currently doing. *thumbs up*

also, i'd like to think anyone who would willingly send their daughter to a "youth bootcamp", because she openly admitted she was against being forced to go to the mormon church weekly (my uncle), deserve to be there.

they obviously display the type of character a willing american soldier is expected to have these days.

 

It sounds like her husband agrees that she has gone too far. The Smoking Gun is reporting that she is being served with divorce papers even as she makes a fool of herself in Crawford. It just goes to show you how seething hatred will blind you to what is really important. Her hate for George Bush is now breaking up her family. Cindy please, go home and patch up what is left of your family. They need you there, not pursuing a personal vendetta against the President.

 

I heard that she had some girlfriends when she was young. They called them the "Swift Boat People". No wait- that was Elias Gonzales' mama. That's another thread, innit?

Stupid neocon, Dick's Trix didn't Stix to Blix.
Nor do they to Cindy, you pricks.
You and your Prince/Prez will soon enough be marginalized hicks
turning cheap self-appeasing tricks
with your flaccid pencil-dicks.
While liberals get the all the hot chicks.
So sling your mud wider, and let's see where it sticks
Until your crumbling mortar, and tumbling bricks
come rumbling down, it's just tockety ticks
Just keep your fantasies flopping, until we give you the flick
bringemon, cuz you're sick.

 

You know we are not supposed to call people names, not supposed start a bunch of shit for shits sake, but you know what ? Your one sick pup..

This mother is a tragedy whore.... thats right, thats all she is. Meanwhile bakc at home her other son pleads with her to come home, but this means nothing to her.
You killed my son, George Bush, and I don't owe you a penny. ... You give my son back and I'll pay my taxes Sick freak.

The Sheehan family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan family supports the troops, our country, and our president, silently, with prayer and respect.

Sincerely,

Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.


No.... shame on you and everyone like you.
