Where does that come from? I know you have to realize Michael Moore and whoever else did not front any bills for Cindy Sheehan like so many other lies have been spread about the woman. She did what she did because she wanted to voice her question to the President. If you're not a parent then you'd never understand losing your child. Regardless of who'd exploit her for whatever reasons it makes no difference because what she started needed to be covered. It's insane when you pop on the tv and some hack is draggin her name through the mud insinuating she is some kind of wacko nut.
No, I think Ms. Sheehan loves her moment of glory, the cameras tracking every action, the politicians and celebrities speaking so fondly of her, and the possibility that she'll get a sentence or two in future history books and that every child in America will read about Cindy's grandstanding. When you project yourself into the limelight, you open yourself up to criticism by the hacks. That is just the reality...deal with it, if you want to play the game.
It is not about not having sympathy for one that has lost a child. No, I haven't lost a child in combat and I'm sure neither have you, given your young age. Many people have over the past couple of years. Some cope with it better than others. Only one has made a complete ass of herself. And I didn't feel that way initially. Sure, I disagreed with her methodology and knew it wasn't going to get her anywhere, but it's her right to protest. But you become a stupid cunt, IMHO, when you make a statement such as "This country is not worth dying for." Guess what. That extremist rhetoric doesn't hit home with John and Nancy American. Casey Sheehan is NOT bigger than America, no matter how tragic his death may be. I can't be so cynical as to say her actions are completely phony, as her son did die afterall, but if it were anything less, I would suspect her to secretly be on Karl Rove's payroll. After all, Rove is a sneaky bastard and he's downright good at what he does. But in the end, I'm sure she is really just a woman with some possible mental issues that has had a difficult time dealing with her loss, and she looks to be such a coolaid drinking partisan hack that she just can't stop herself.
Sheehan said she would be responding to Casey's death in the same manner if he had died in the hunt for bin Laden and there had been no Iraq. Now Casey Sheehan is, in her warped mind, bigger that all of those that died on 9/11. Hell, even that fuckin' screwball Ralph Nader said if he had been President that there would have been no choice but some form of military response to 9/11. Again, that doesn't hit home with the average American. That is being a stupid cunt. Her speeches have chastized Israel for its policies towards the Palestinians and said terrorism would stop if the U.S. would withdrawl from Iraq and Israel would give in to all Palestinian demands. That's just being plain stupid, cunt or no cunt. But her most downright stupid comment was probably when she demanded that the national guard withdrawl from "occupied New Orleans" as if the relief effort by those men and women was some form of warfare.
So, I don't want there to be any confusion about my sentiments: I think she's a STUPID CUNT.
