Too bad, so sad.

Is she moving to Venezula ? Chavez has a new GF !

Man I read the posts I love it when the left eats its own !

Shes upset that she cant critisize democrats as well as republicans.

Of course you cant. That would be free speech on Kos or the DU ! We cant have free speach in their totalitarian little worlds !

The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing.

This is simply not true.

I only hope that she comes to see that fact before she dies.

(The rest of us do, indeed, honor Casey's sacrifice.)

Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love

Like we didn't know that already.

Takin' her marbles and goin' home. Takes an egomaniac to know one.

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.

Did you hear that, everybody? It's up to America now to make this country into to what this hopelessly deluded egomaniac has been railing against all along!

Good-bye America

Buh-bye. Where is she going? Cuba? Venezuela?

When moonbats go bad...

"Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love"

Can we question her patriotism now?

To Casey Sheehan--Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. To Mama Sheehan--don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out.

We're not good enough for Cyndi Sheehan, eh?

Look, I don't blame her. She surrounds herself with people who hate America and refuse to defend freedom. What else could she do?

Cindy, I guess you won't be running for Congress.

after all

Oh, she'll have more comebacks than Cher before she's done.

I just finished reading some of the comments for her diary on "Daily Skuz." No wonder she is so in love herself and her search for "pieces and just us."

in the words of eric cartman

what a stupid b***

Who writes this pabulum for her? I know she's functionally illiterate from reading some of the past dreck under her byline.

I imagine she just blurts out some incoherent rants and some toady cobbles it together as best they can.

The fact that she has chosen the Kos over the DU aas her blog of choice has the dimwitted underground dwellers all in a lather too. It is amazing how quick they will eat their own.

run by a war machine that even controls what we think

If this is true, then how did you, oh you of fantastic intellect, escape the mind control? Can you share this with us or do we need to buy your five acres first?

America ...you are not the country that I love

I'm sure this part is true. Say hello to Hugo when you get there. Of course, you'll have to wait till he's done closing down TV stations.

(The America that The Left loves is a False America that never existed except in their own minds.)

The Attention Whore™ carifies in the komments...

i am not giving up...i just think i need to go in a new direction.

there are so many humans all over the world being damaged by the encroaching evil empire of the usa...we will regroup and come back stronger for humanity and hopefully, this country will benefit from the residual affects...

thanks for all the support from the kossacks...but like one diarist told me a few months ago on this site...i am gonna "shut the fuck up" for awhile.

I can't wait to see what this new direction is going to be.

So what country is the silly bitch gonna move to, since America won't live up to her high standards? I'd be willing to donate to a fund to rent her a Ryder truck and gas to go. Just go. Anywhere. Venezuela might be nice.

Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.

I think Casey died in the service of the country he loves, serving alongside fellow soldiers he was honored to serve with. Sadly, I think Momma Moonbat is right about American Idol being more important to a lot people than what Memorial Day represents, and she's right about the cold, callousness of many politicians. Mostly, this dingbat is whining because America isn't doing what she wants it to do. She can move to Venezuela, then. I'm sure her buddy Hugo will set her up nicely.

I am going to go home and be a mother to my surviving children and try to regain some of what I have lost.

Good for you, Cindy! Your son would've been proud of that.

I'm waiting for a statement by Susan Sarandon condeming Hillary...

U.S., Iran reach Iraq policy consensus

Doesn't quite seem that way when you read the story.

#13 Penny T. Wienerdog

I second that!

Egomaniac?

I'm touched by this women's self-sacrificing service to America. But alas, she must move on and is leaving us. Can we find it in our hearts to take a collection for her plane ticket to Caracas?

Ms. Sheehan,

I respect and honor your son's memory this Memorial Day.

While you choose to desecrate his memory, his service and sacrifice. Many Americans do not.

You ma'am, are not worthy of a Gold Star. yours is an accident of birth. You've never understood America or her Ideals, you've only been self aggrandizing on the grave of your son.

Good riddance.

Now how am i ever gona prove that is Jimmy Carter's daughter?

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.

Damn Cindy your sacrifice was in vain, better pack up your shit and bunk with Hugo.

On this Memorial Day, even though I criticized Cindy and called her Sheehag before, and still probably will later, I would still salute her, no matter what she said. She did give birth to Casey, and he gave his life for her right to say anything she wants.

So the left's savior sock puppet got all stinky and it's no good no more?

Next stop: The View.

Geez, I'm sorry folks, we've come across people in our lives and work who've "meaninglessly" lost children from malaria, from bad medical treatment, no medical treatment, riots, coups, and even Rwandans who lost ALL their children when they sent them back to the village, away from the city, believing they'd be safe there.
Not a one is as obnoxiously self-absorbed and phoney as that woman. They've carried their terrible sorrows graciously and soberly. It's a waste to feel sorry for the middle-aged Madame Sheehan who dresses like a child and parties like a spoiled socialite. Grief for her son is not what motivates her.

Giant lizard shot, still eludes police

CASSELBERRY, Fla. - Police say they're sure they shot a four-foot-long, 80-pound monitor lizard that had been lurking in an Orlando suburb for months. Still, neighbors aren't ready to let their children or pets back outside until they see a carcass.

And people say there is no good news anymore.

My heart bleeds, but I am of sturdy stock and will endeavor to perservere.

Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.

I hate to say it, but . . .

(Although the intent behind her words is completely different from what mine would be.)

anti-war movement is full of egomaniacs and lunatics

For once I agree with her

I have also tried to work within a peace movement that often puts personal egos above peace and human life.

She's right. The "peace movement" won't work because there are too many quasi-tyrants involved, spoiled sophomores (young & old alike) who want everything their way. Of course, Cindy Sheehan's an egomaniac as well. Which makes her rantings even funnier.

th...th...th...thats all folks!

#6 Insert Clever Name Here
The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing.

This is simply not true.
I gotta be honest here; I don't give a dead rat's butt what she believes. This woman is a jackal and as long as she leaves the USA we are the richer for it.
I assume that since America is NOT the country she loves that she will go somewhere (anywhere) else. While she sees that her beloved left is eating her alive- she will never realize that Casey, unlike his deranged mother, both lived and died for something important. But honestly, I don't care if she ever sees anything at all. I have grown to see her as a horrible example of what madness can produce.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that she is also Markos' dam.

On this Memorial Day, we honor Casey Sheehan’s sacrifice.

We do, indeed.

'George Bush will never be impeached because if the Democrats dig too deeply, they may unearth a few skeletons in their own graves and the system will perpetuate itself in perpetuity.'

. 'Ms. Sheehan - it's time for your nice fruit smoothie.'

Strange, she doesn't comment about her friend Chavez locking Venezuela into another commie nightmare...

Sheehag's Gitmo bud.

Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq while serving as a US soldier, and Ruhal Ahmed, who was taken from Afghanistan to Guantanamo Bay prison in a Hercules US military plane, for the purpose of torture, visited Shannon airport on 23 May 2007 in solidarity with local Irish peace activists.

Ruhal Ahmed's wiki:

Ruhal Ahmed is a British citizen. He was detained for over two years by the United States, first in Afghanistan, and then in Camp Delta, the American prison for suspects in the War on Terror, at its naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. His detainee ID number is 110.

Ahmed was released in March 2004.[1]

In August 2004 Ahmed, Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal, all from Tipton, compiled a report on their alleged abuse and humiliation while in U.S. custody.[2] The 2006 film, The Road to Guantánamo is a docu-drama depicting their version of the story of their detention.

Main article: Tipton Three

During an interview, on Friday, 23rd, June, 2006, MSNBC spelt it as "Ruhel Ahmed".

Ruhal Ahmed has been refused a visa to visit Australia to promote The Road to Gauntanamo.

Just a British chap on vacation in TalibanLand who was illegally jailed by the torturing Americans yada yada.

A FOURTH suspected British member of the al-Qa'eda terrorist network was being questioned by MI6 agents in Afghanistan yesterday, as Downing Street said the United States might decide to send them to Britain for trial.

Ruhal Ahmed, 20 - who, like two fellow prisoners, comes from Tipton, West Midlands - was detained last week in the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar after being tricked to leave a hospital believing he was to be handed over to the International Red Cross.

Instead, Ahmed was seized by United States special forces and passed to MI6 officers, who hoped to establish how extensive British links with al-Qa'eda were.

Last night, it was unclear in whose custody Ahmed was being held - British or American - and whether he would be transferred to the high-security United States prison at Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Ahmed was held several days before Afghan forces, supported by United States troops, stormed the hospital in Kandahar, killing six Arab al-Qa'eda fighters who were hiding inside during an 11-hour battle.

SHE is most SELF CENTERED CUNNNING STUNT.

Anyone want to buy "camp casey" and turn it into a pro-us/military park/memorial...

At least someone honors Casey's sacrifice, his disloyal mother sure as hell didn't...

Unfortunately we haven't seen the last of poor ole Cindy. She's too much of an attention-whore, she can't live w/out the cameras...

Does going to California constitute leaving/entering the USofA?

/I guess it depends on who you ask; Mama Moonbat, or Robert Plant

This is the left all wrapped into one. Chavez and Sheehan full circle.

They are all for free speech until it starts to differ from their own.

Then they go balastic when anyone DARES to question them. How DARE THEY THINK DIFFERENTLY THAN ME ! I AM THE MOST MORAL !

So then what happens. They scream in frustration and start assuming "There is some grand conspiracy to silence me because everyone else would believe in me if they knew the truth ! (Hello to Noam Choamsky this is your M/O !)

SO the grand cabal runs things to silence the moral so the ultimate moral person has no chioce but to work to silence the critics.

That means closing down TV stations or anyone that disagrees.

Left wing politics is the same world wide. Hate disagrement and use it to take Ultimate power. Dont DARE trust people because they can be deceived.

No where in their rants can they even begin to believe that they might be wrong.

The "peace" movement is any thing but. Dig a little bit and you'll find the same 'ole Marxist & Leninist bunch.

The Peace they want is the peace of on enslaved populace with them as the elites.

I would rather jog home from my own vasectomy than listen to any more of her caterwauling.

The Hag was considering running for the Senate just four months ago.

Now how am i ever gona prove that is Jimmy Carter's daughter?

She is darn sure ugly enough to be Jimmah's daughter ain't she?

She's the one who tried to make his sacrifice worthless. Not us.

I've known guys in the military who had mothers like this, over controling, obnoxious, 'rhymes with rich'. I bet he probably didn't like his mother much, and re-enlisted partially to stick it in his face how much he DIDN'T like her and wasn't going to be a moon bat like her.

I have no doubts in my mind at all that he is spinning in his grave at his mother's foul use of his death. Lady MacBeth, you have NOTHING on Cindy.

"This is my resignation letter as the “face” of the American anti-war movement."

Well if I had a dog with a face like sindy...I would shave his ass and make him walk backward...!

It won't be long before this "Media Whore" needs another FIX... She can't help herself!

Of course she will be back. The "long farewell" is a favored device of "attention whores."

"I have tried every (sic) since he died to make his sacrifice meaningful."

Yes, yes we know... shoulder any burden, pay any price.

As long as it is not too heavy and too expensive. Don't let the door hit you in the ass Cindy.

I guess she won't get Rosie's chair on The View.
;-)

The empire of the good ol US of A. Nothing like Venezuala where they just shut down a TV station that dared criticized Hugo the buffoon and nothing like Russia who is helping Iran get nukes and just "overlooked" the gay bashing yesterday and of course NOTHING at all like l- Qeda who was busy torturing 40+ of their fellow muslims. And real torture, notthat made up crap that is the subject of the hand wringing of Turban Durban and CHappaquiddick Ted Kennedy. Wake up you dumbass Wake up or get the ehll out of the country. I am tired of your bashing and whining.

Yes, Cindy, you indeed failed your son Casey both during and after his life. Cindy, you're a failure. Glad to see you're now accepting what your phony friends on the Left knew but didn't want to tell you because you were such a useful idiot. Accept your failure. Embrace it. Sink into it like the water of a warm bath. You've earned it.

Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.

The only remotely intelligent thing she has ever uttered. Until this war is fought by us to WIN, we won't.

#61 elevenbravo1969

That made me curl in a fetal postion.

Where you in country in '69?

I am shattered, shattered, I tells ya!

[goes to sulk in corner]

The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing.

How this woman could reach such a conclusion is beyond me. She readily, freely, and publicly criticizes her own country, and yet cannot see that Casey died for her right to do precisely that which she has done.

"There are none so blind as those who will not see."

Casey Sheehan, and the others that have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, have not died "for nothing" as she states. Indeed, today we honor those that HAVE sacrificed and died for their country. Something Cindy Sheehan, the DUmmies, and the KKKosKids don't have a clue about.

All the pols do is what they do best - obfuscate, delay, lie...anything to stay in power.

*sigh*
Words fail her.

JWM

I have also tried to work within a peace movement that often puts personal egos above peace and human life..

Oh really? Cindy, Do you mean that peaceful ANSWER organizer who belted me in the face on Saturday with his anti-war sign when I told him that we both had the right to protest?

Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice

Does this mean that she's going to move to Venezuela? I hope...

Good luck getting your message out there, Cindy.

This woman defined herself by her son's death. Had he not died, no one would have heard of her, a fact she never accepted. It happened with some 9/11 survivors too, and eventually, inevitably, it leads to a dissolution of the self.

The woman was only too happy to bask in the adulation of the anti-USA movement until she was overshadowed by fresher, shriller victims. Now she pouts, but the moving finger writes, and having writ moves on...

RIP Casey, you deserved better.

there are so many humans all over the world being damaged by the encroaching evil empire of the usa...we will regroup and come back stronger for humanity and hopefully, this country will benefit from the residual affects...

If the "encroaching evil empire of the usa" weren't as such, I'm sure peace would reign in islam... and everywhere...

I think she needs a refresher on what the U.S. has done (and continues to do) for this world. Does anybody here have the current dollar amounts and who the money goes to in foreign aid?

CIA Torture Flights

You can meet, anytime, at a public airport (PHOTOS BELOW), the U.S. government's Criminals In Action (aka CIA) on their way to commit crimes. The Landmark Aviation terminal (FIRST PHOTO) at the Washington (DC) Dulles International Airport (code: IAD) is the place these batty hellions fly out of. It is open to the public to mingle with the CIA agents.

It would be well worth your time to drive out to the building across from National Car Rental and check it out. Bring along an aviation-band radio and the list of planes at the end (get the current tail numbers from Google first).

If you have been to National Car Rental at Dulles, you have been across the street from Landmark and some of the baddest boys on the planet. The CIA employs guys who kidnap people in foreign countries (rendition them) for torture [Link: www.conspiracyplanet.com...] people who blow up civilian airliners [Link: www.escambray.cu...] (killed 73), and the like. You can meet these types and their CIA "handlers" (managers) at the reception desk at Landmark Aviation (SECOND PHOTO).

/Just lovely.

Newsbusters has an interesting take on C. Sheehan's exit from the "peace movement" (temporary, of course, as it will be...)

Yet, Google News and LexisNexis searches have identified that not one major media outlet has covered her announcement.

Not one.

Does this suggest that the media’s antiwar proclivities are only important when they shed a negative light on the Administration and Republicans, but not when events such as this speak poorly about Democrats?

Uhhh... yes?

I am going to take whatever I have left and go home.

Finally.

Thank you Casey from all of us...If I may be so bold...May your soul rest peacefully for all eternity knowing you made the ultimate sacrifice..and some of us are still able to see that.

God bless.

Sheehan says her son died for nothing, the anti-war movement is full of egomaniacs and lunatics, and all her dreams have been shattered.

Yeah...those egomaniacs, thats it, that is what you could not take you fat f'king pathetic cow. Take your Dr. Feelgood snake oil show somewhere else. O, and you are going out of business like the furniture store, I am sure.

ah Cindy, your "boy" was a man who made a choice based on his own moral values, not yours.

Cindy, your son did not die for nothing.
Cindy, you disgrace your son while the rest of us thank him, honor him.

When she say's "attention whore" is she gazing into a mirror?

She'll be back.

Bless you Casey, but good riddance mama.

Worthless though any single sentiment of Mama Moonbat's expressed in this farewell may be, it is a valuable insight into the "peace" movement, in general.

She was the movement's dope de jour, and she went into it expecting it to live up to its moniker. What she found was the reality that it is a business, and a particularly dishonest and cutthroat one, at that. Tammy Bruce had the very same experience with the business of feminism. The difference between Mama Moonbat and Tammy, is that Tammy got a clue.

72 and 83,

Well done.

Thank you Casey, for protecting my freedom and the American way of life.

Camp Casey needs to be reconsecrated. It would be nice if this land could be dedicated to Casey (and all those before and after him) in a more appropriate manner.

"killed by his own country which is beholden to and run by a war machine that even controls what we think"

An absurd statement made by a fool.

"Died for nothing"... I'm glad she is not my mom.

All of this goes to prove an even bigger point, liberals do not have the stomach for long, protracted conflicts. Hell they can't even stick to their anti-war campaign long enough to succeed so why should they be allowed to dictate the conditions under which we should fight a real war? I wonder where she will redeploy to? Maybe Okinawa as Murtha suggest? If she admits defeat does this mean the pro war groups win? This creates a terrible disturbance in the force.

Here ya go! Uh, alas, St. Pancake can't make it. She already had an up close and personal encounter with a Caterpillar. :)

If Mother Sheehan should happen by...

_{[our St. Pancake has not been harmed in the making of this post.]}

I so agree with savage, the bronze, and all those here who predict that Cindy's departure has been prematurely celebrated - everytime someone stamps, speechifies, and slams the door shouting "you won't see ME again"... aren't they always the first ones to come back?

But however long this lasts, I won't miss that bitter, angry face, with hate-America-lines marring any of the 'original face' (as they say in Eastern spirituality) she was born with.

I wonder why the far left so often have that hideous attitude affecting their appearance... the kind of ugliness that doesn't depend on one's features. I worked for so many Republican & conservative campaigns during my adult life in NY (i'm a granma now) and whenever a company of leftists came bearing down on us, bearing spitballs & vitriol, taking our literature and ripping it up, we could recognize their political sympathies by their expressions.

A larger proportion of the righties seem more visibly at peace with themselves, their families and friends, their country and their lives - even when under the greatest of personal pressures, or crises.

I think you may be right!

"because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system."

I can only assume that Casey Sheehan's father is a good man and was a role model for him. Otherwise it is difficult to fathom how such a noble person as Casey Sheehan could have emerged from the shadow of such a thoroughly vile, narcissistic and stupid woman.

Prayers up for Casey.

Heard that line on the Dennis miller radio show.

Spent 1969 in Thua Thien province with 101st. Came home partially deaf but otherwise intact. God bless those serving today.

Her quitting is a shame. She is so relentlessly daft that she was a small plus for the good guys. Oh, well. There are lots of other lunatics in the treason movement.

All these suggestions that Cindy move to Venezuela ... Don't you know how hurtful you all are to Fidel ? Has he lost top-dog status amongst dictators ?
Cindy's son Casey is genuinely honoured here. Did she really expect any genuine feeling for her loss from the Left ?

I just feel sorry for the kids she is going home to 'mother'. Talk about child abuse...

May Casey Sheehan rest in peace.

Sheehan says her son died for nothing, the anti-war movement is full of egomaniacs

yes, egomaniacs who thought they were more important than Cindy!

Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.

A) The country cares about AI more than the deaths of soldiers: True (mostly). This is what our soldiers FOUGHT FOR, that the rest of us can be free to enjoy our lives even for stupid tv shows. And if anyone gets it, the soldiers do. They know damn well that thier service allows me to be fat, dumb and happy. The irony (if that is the right word for it) IS NOT lost on them. They fight so we don't have to. And they know it. Nuff Said.

2) D's and R's play politics, even with lives: True. Welcome to the world of grown-ups. Mr. Smith doesn't Go To Washington any more. That was a movie. Politicians play politics. It's what they do. Sometimes lives are lost in the process. Sad, but it was always this way. This is human history, not some terrible, evil, plot of USA or its government.

Hardly surprising. Most conservatives have a relationship with the Divine, whereas many if not most leftists are atheists. What you see on their faces is simply a reflection of what lies within.

Something tells me she'll miss the spotlight and will be back :(

How many times has Streisand retired from making appearances?

I agree, I have always noticed this. It seems that conservatives always are more at peace and take care of themselves. They tend to be more successful in life and have not run into trouble with the law. The leftists seem to be the ones that are angry and have let themselves go, thus are not always pleasant to look at and deal with. The leftists also seem to be the ones that have not historically taken personal responsibility for their actions. Then, they blame others when it's time to pay the piper.

I am amazed how deeply she is brainwashed. How did it happen? When did it happen? Imagine if she devoted all this energy to actually honoring her son and helping her own country! Instead, she tries to dismantle the only country in the world that has an ability to protect democracy and freedom.
I guess her family never experienced gulags, concentration camps, forced labor, summary executions, reeducation camps, show trials – the marxist-leninist/national socialism heaven she admires so much - to know the true value of freedom.

God bless America!

Casey may have joined the Army for the very reasons given for despising his mom. It will not be the first time somebody did that to distance themselves from their family. Whatever his reasons for joining were initially, I am sure there were far different reasons for his reenlisting and deciding to stay in.
His mother brought get discredit upon her son and his actions. Cindy, your son died respoonding to the call of another group of soldiers who were in trouble. By his death others lived, and for those that survived because of his sacrifice you have laid the biggest guilt trip of all time upon them. I will bet there isn't a day that goes by when any of them would not wish to have traded places with Casey in light of what became of his legacy. I will never let you forget that and I will never forget that Casey ran to the sound of gunsfire rather then away from it. He sacrificed so others may live.

Fidel ? Has he lost top-dog status amongst dictators ?

Fidel is no longer cool. He called Spanish doctors to save himself...FROM the wonderful cuban healthcare system...

Not commiecool.

After reading her piece, I hurt for her.

I think we can drop any allegations that she is a pawn of the Left/Libs/peaceniks/etc. She may have been, but she has rather fully renounced that, albeit in a slightly "sour grapes" sort of way.

As long as she stays out of the media, I think we should show her the repect of NOT referring to her as mama moonbat. In her private life, she is simply one more grieving mother.

If she had taken up gambling or drinking as a result of Casey's death, with the consequence of time lost from her other children, divorce, health problems, and financial ruin, we would recognize her behavior for the addiction that it is. Whether she is an attention addict or a grief addict, I'll leave for more neutral heads to consider. It's just sad to see so many other lives destroyed besides Casey's.

I hope she disses Hugo too.

To the extent that Americans care more about American idol than freedom, patriotism, and America's role in the world, she is right. But you can't blame GWB for that.

Mrs. Sheehan, please drop the "war based on lies" meme. It's untrue, politically charged, irrelevant at this stage, and plays into the BDS mindset. If you want traction with your ideas, lose the "Bush lied" talk.

I hope as the years pass, you will be able to remember Casey as a great American who loved his country and its ideals, and was willing to sacrifice his own life in defense of them. Think about your grandchildren (Casey's nieces and nephews) - how do you want Casey to be known by them?

Finally, Cindy, I pray you will be able to move beyond your bitterness. There are mothers who have lost children to drugs, depression, and autoerotic asphyxiation. Surely Casey died for nobler purposes than those? I am certain he would not want you suffering as you are. For his sake, and his memory, please, find joy in life again.

it sounds like someone shut off her income.

"Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love"

That sums up the Cindy's and left pretty well.

The liberal, PC, BS MSM, part of America is not what I love. I just returned from a small town Memorial Day parade with standing ovations for the marching veterans who served in various capacities -- one friend entered service at the end WWII at age 14, served in the Korean War, Viet Nam, and beyond. He barely broke a sweat and at age 76 still fit into his Green Beret uniform with room to spare. Last year he marched in 90 degree sun while ill, and never complained. It was a great cleanser to use upon the constant anti-American liberal communist BS that is dumped on us daily.

Thanks to Casey for his service and sacrifice, and Cindy I am truely sorry you lost your son. However, Cindy, you are a moronic disgrace to your country.

I went AF after high school, a couple years after the last chopper off the embassy roof. Served while Carter was at 1600, the main reason for not staying in.

Great post.

On this memorial day I honor all those who have served their country and paid the ultimate price or who have had long term repercussions from their service. It would be lovely to live in a world without tyrants, psychopaths, religious cults and the wars they create. However, the experience of the human race over time is that this is not going to happen in any hurry. The tree of liberty will still be watered with the blood of patriots for a long time to come I am afraid. I personally wish to extend my gratitude to these people and hope to use my life in a way that honors their sacrifice.

Barbra Streisand cancels Rome concert

Last week, consumer groups Codacons and Adusbef protested as "absurd and shameful" ticket prices ranging from just under $200 to more than $1,200, calling on authorities to deny Streisand use of the 24,000-seat stadium.

The stadium "is public property and cannot be used for immoral deals that are shameful to a civilized country," the groups said in a statement.

Concert organizers indicated the decision was not connected to the outcry, saying that production delays had forced them to scrap the June 15 concert in the capital's Stadio Flaminio, what would have been the singer's first concert in Italy and the start of her European tour.

"We met with unexpected production delays," said a statement by tour promoter Michael Cohl posted on the Web site of Milano Concerti, the Italian organizer of the event.

I will make one comment on the substance of her diatribe. America is not everything for everybody, it is just not like that.

We all find our own way, and we make our own America. "America" is the framework, if you will, the freedom, the opportunity, the family.

There will never be a perfect America, even as it continues towards the inevitable socialist nanny-state. Can't she see that from the example of the Europeans? Talk about losing their way. Not all have, but the nihlism is sometimes stifling, something not completely overshadowing America's spirit like it has the continent.

Interesting comment from jhutson, over at DailyKos:

[Link: www.dailykos.com...]

You are not required to destroy yourself...to save the world.

As TomP says, you don't have to be the face of the anti-war movement. You can just be you.

There is a time for outrage and a time for solace, a time for public protest and a time for gathering your family and friends about you to reclaim your own privacy and peace of mind.

Others will stand up and speak out, inspired by your example. The fight against this unjust war will continue, and will prevail. And when the final chapter is written, those who prevailed for peace will have stood on the shoulders of giants -- giants such as you.

Democrats are not the answer, of course. We here all know that and those idiots are emboldened because of their victories and contribute it to their popularity rather than the failures of republicans to be actual conservatives.

I see major losses in 2008 as well. Bush has damaged the republican party in a big way.

dear pro-bush, RedWhite, & Red Girl -

I think you all hit on the truth - it's the vital life connections that are missing, flawed or frayed, sadly, in the group that I specify. The life giving connections can be those on the spiritual level, the mental level, or the physical level; as we said, to a Higher Power, to a partner, to family or country. What's left is a hatred that cycles back to self, and is harmful inside and reflected outside.

It's heartbreaking to watch. Thanks for your responses!

Here's one other thing she said that rubbed me the wrong way. "It's up to you now."

It's like she's indignant because the nation didn't stop what it was doing and immediately followed her self-righteous instructions on how to act.

So "America" refused to be guided by her, so she's taking her ball and going home. Maybe most Americans didn't agree with her, but no...

Cindy Sheehan is right about one thing: the Left is composed of a bunch of Stalinists who hate each other more than they hate Republicans.

Having flirted with the Left in my youth, I saw this up close and vividly. Stalinists, like their Islamist allies, tolerate nothing short of 100% compliance. That's why Islamists are happy to fight Shiite versus Sunni when there are no easy infidel targets around.

You mean we're not a nation of immigrants? That's news to me...

Sure, we are a nation of immigrants. Well, we're a nation built on the backs of slaves to some folks...

But Bush is trying to sell his amnesty program by using the typical liberal view of "this nation is made of immigrants and we should allow all who want in to go ahead and come in.

Of course, how many entitlement programs were there in the colonial era? What about in the industrial age?

Immigrants pay little to no taxes and are a huge strain on the system. Who foots this bill?

Bush sucks 90% through and through. Democrats kicked the republicans ass not because they are better, it is because the republicans failed us.

If we're not a nation of immigrants, where'd we all come from? Cabbage patches? Giant storks?

I think badsysop was reacting to the disingenuous rhetoric, not the immigrant heritage we Americans should rightly celebrate.

That said, I'm not an immigrant. I'm a native American (in the non-PC sense). Sure, we all have ancestors from elsewhere, but how far back does one need to go?

Sheehan has a day of reckoning coming. If one of my Marines were to die in the service of their country, and I used the tragedy as an excuse to grab attention and undermine everything they believed in, I'd sure as hell be afraid of the day I die and have to face them in the afterlife!

Part of being a parent is supporting your children's dreams, even if they are not the ones you would have chosen for them. If they should die in pursuit of those dreams, you put aside your personal differences and HONOR them and their sacrifice! Casey was committed to his dreams and his country - he re-upped during wartime for cryin' out loud! Not only is Comrade Cindy a despicable traitor, she is a despicable mother for putting her own agenda above the memory of her son.

A sharp salute to you, Casey Sheehan! The first beer is on me when we meet in the great beyond!

I predict Cindy the Drama Queen will be out of the limelight for approximately three weeks before she magically reappears in some new version, running for Congress or something. This woman cannot live out of the spotlight; it's like oxygen to her. I do not doubt that she sincerely feels burnt out and full of grief for her son and the troops, but I also think it's mainly that she is no longer getting the fawning adulation and appreciation from the media, her comrades, etc.

Let me guess. Soros' last check to her bounced?

Perhaps she's hoping for support from her other children (assuming they're adults).

#167, badsyop. If you hurry, you can catch up with Cindy and share the ride.

I may dislike Bush, but certainly not because I'm a Cindy supporter.

Bush is a terrible republican. He has expanded government to the biggest ever, allows immigrants to flood in unchecked, and pays lip service for things conservatives stand for.

I give him good scores for his supreme court justices, but he almost screwed that up by offering up Miers.

The free trade deal with Korea is a good thing as well.

And while Bush is certainly better than most democrats, there certainly can be better republicans.

The republican party has screwed themselves over and they are paying for it at the polls. I don't see things changing in 08.

It emboldens these sheehan types even if it isn't based in reality.

"We are a nation of immigrants".

True. However, the frustration comes in when that phrase is used to justify amnesty, or to welcome the people that come here for the easily-obtained benefits and refuse to assimilate. Or to welcome the ones that come here to give birth for free at our hospitals to gain a foothold.

Yes, let's keep immigration on the burner, but let's demand accountability, such as paying taxes from day one, and learning English within a year or less. It is a privilege to become a citizen of this country, not a right.

We should be so lucky.

I can imagine Ms Cindy strapping on a vest.

badsysop #186

Now that we've agreed that the statement "We're all immigrants" isn't "B.S.", I disagree that Bush has a "let anyone and everyone come on in, no questions asked" policy.

And I'm rather surprised that Republicans would find it strange that a Republican President would want to preserve the supply of cheap labor to American business that immigrants represent.

The strain on hospitals and schools is mainly a local or state issue, not a federal one, since illegal immigrants can't avail themselves of federal benefits like Medicaid or AFDC, etc. So it isn't any real wonder that the interests of business would trump the burden on individual cities and states.

What I don't like about that phrase, is that it completely ignores the "illegal" part about the immigration that we're concerned about right now. Sure, almost everyone here is an immigrant or descendants of immigrants, but I bet most of our descendants came here legally. I know mine did.

This is not my “Checkers” moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system

Alternate translation:

She's going to do less of the anti-war stuff that most Dems are sympathetic towards or agree outright with, and more of the hugging-Hugo-Chavez type stunts that the majority of Democrats find absolutely baffling.

My guess: Cindy's been informed by the Far Left that, in light of her recent turn on the Dem Party, that the money tap is being turned off.

"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."

Good G-d, what a monumental ego! She really believes she has the right to "make" America into a country she can love, because, oh, oh, oh, she's done so much for it! (Her son didn't? All the fighting men and women who died for it haven't? The rest of us don't?)

If America refuses to go along with her idea of what it should be (Cindy, Honey, you share this country with the rest of us, you know; you don't get to unilaterally decide what we're all going to be, and do) she will no longer love America, because it's bad, naughty, evil, wicked!

I certainly hope she didn't pull this sort of guilt manuever on her own kids.

I also hope she goes and lives in Venezuela, with her bosom-buddy Chavez.

You can only subsidize things to much before it starts to come back on you

[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

Iran gas price hike said shows weakness By SEBASTIAN ABBOT, Associated Press Writer

CAIRO, Egypt - Iran's decision to raise gasoline prices has thrown new light on one of its most entrenched problems — the danger a vulnerable, subsidized economy poses for a country under international pressure over its nuclear program.

Experts warn of the popular backlash that other countries have faced when dealing with the same need to raise long-subsidized staple prices, including in Indonesia which saw a wave of protests in 2005. At the same time, they doubt the 25 percent price hike imposed last week on Iran's gasoline will do much, on its own, to solve the country's underlying economic problems.

Score one more victory for the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.

Holly East, hired in August 2005, has resigned following the organization's decision to change her job and one other in the office to part-time status, said Sue Graham, chairwoman of Peace House's board of directors.

Iran also ordered a significant lowering on interest rates. This will create a windfall for the rich & powerful who have borrowed at the older high interest rates and now get to pay back at lower rates, and it will drive yet more capital flight out of the country.

Democracy is known as government for adults and perhaps when the old gas bag grows up she can come back and participate instead of just run her mouth off like some barking moonbat. Still nice to see the lefties shooting at each other. If those on the left were ever to grow up, political discourse in the US would improve significantly and government might actually be able to get something positive accomplished rather than having to cobble legislation together that, at best gets it only half right due to the unbending dogma of those on the left (think Social Security).

George Bush will never be impeached because if the Democrats dig too deeply, they may unearth a few skeletons in their own graves...

Uh, Cindy, skeletons in closets are usually considered a problem. Skeletons in graves are normal. Then again, digging one's own grave is generally seen as a strategic error, regardless of what one finds there. I think I'm getting dizzy.

I read the complete text of Sheehan’s swan song and I must admit I was impressed by it. She does not come across as a wide-eyed, America hating anarchist’s which are the backbone of the so-called ‘peace movement’.

Upper-most was the fact that it took her 2 years before she realized that she was being used by a “movement that often puts personal egos above peace and human life”.

They wined and dined her and sent her all over the world to be seen rubbing elbows with various dictators, but as soon as they felt she was no longer useful, they unceremoniously spit her out like a bad chaw of tobacco.

So, let this be a warning to others who might be thinking of emulating Sheehan. If you go into the ‘peace movement’ be sure to tell them the brand of your favorite chewing tobacco.

I really think that the state governments of the border states to California should have been able to really put the screws into California but instead they act like they are aligned together in liberal hell... It is pathetic.

See the MSM spin"

Drudge uses this line to lead the story:

U.S., Iran Reach Iraq Policy Consensus...
Yahoo runs this line:
Iran, U.S. to hold more talks within month, which is nonsense. The Iranian offical told reporters Iran would like to meet again in amonth, while the US response was,

"We don't have a formal invitation to respond to just yet, so it doesn't make sense to respond to what we don't have," Crocker told reporters after the meeting.

but The National Post sees it differently,

U.S. tells Iran to stop backing Iraq militias,

"The talks proceeded positively. What we need to see is Iranian action on the ground," Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, told reporters. "Right now their actions are running at crossed purposes to their stated policy."

There was no immediate comment from the Iranian team led by Hassan Kazemi-Qomi, Iran's ambassador to Iraq. Crocker and Kazemi-Qomi met at the Iraqi prime minister's office, and shook hands before sitting across the table from each other.

"I laid out before the Iranians a number of our direct, specific concerns about their behavior in Iraq, their support for militias that are fighting both the Iraqi security forces and coalition forces," Crocker said.

"The fact (is) that a lot of the explosives and ammunitions that are used by these groups are coming in from Iran ... Such activities ... need to cease and ... we would be looking for results," he added.

Crocker said the Iranian delegation did not respond directly to the charges other than to express support for the Iraqi government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

I could go on, but you get the idea. The left-liberal media are quoting Iranian officials to spin their position (the US must engage Iran to find a solution to Iraq), but when one examines the actual content of the meeting, quite a different message was delivered to the Iranians,

This is about actions not just principles, and I laid out to the Iranians direct, specific concerns about their behavior in Iraq and their support for militias that are fighting Iraqi and coalition forces," Crocker told a Green Zone news conference.

Meanwhile in Iraq, the US military continued raids on Shia militias, Bush & European leaders call for tougher sanctions on Iran & 2 US aircraft carriers cruise the Persian Gulf.

Sounds like another grim milestone for the anti-Bush left.

This creepy look inside the dysfunction of the left is showing us that the democrat party, as an organization of narcissists, is an essentially unstable structure, one that now appears incapable of achieving even the smallest objectives, which of course is good news for America.

I doubt Ms. Sheehan will disappear from the public eye. I can't wait for her to take potshots at Hillary, or Obama, or the other democrats she's accusing of cowtowing to the right. Will Kos and company join her? Will this be the end of the "united peace movement?"

Don't kid yourselves she's not coming back. After she has Hugo Chavezs baby and postpartum sets in, watch your butts!

You hear that (relative) silence?

That's America responding to Cindy with a hearty GTFO. An America that's had enough of her schmoozing with its enemies. An America that's had enough of her acting the pimp, whoring Casey's corpse for her own personal gain.

If she wants to do the country (and humanity) a favor... The word is "seppuku," Cindy. Look it up and act accordingly.

Just read Cindy's resignation as the "face."
Wow! She is one sick puppy. Every casebook malady is apparent in her own words. Grandisosity, persecution, delusion, depression.
And this is the woman that no one had the right to criticize? The source of moral authority?
The democrats may find a few skeletons in "their graves?" You've got to love that. She looks at a person and can "read their hearts?" The troops will come limping home in "another abject defeat?" I pity those poor kids she's going home to mother. But thinking of that "face", I am sure the end of her 29 year marriage was the happiest day in her poor husband's life. America says good bye right back at you Cindy. Ta ta!

what no bulldozer?

I normally feel sorry for any mother that loses a son or daughter... but in her case, that sympathy is negated by her constantly dishonoring her sons memory.

There is no 'absolute moral authority' that allows the cart-blanch destruction of her sons memory and sacrifice, as well as the memory of those who fell with him. The pain and anguish she has caused other families of fallen Soldiers is unforgivable in my opinion, but the right and decision to forgive belongs to those families.

She has become that which her son bravely fought against and died for... evil.

May Casey rest in peace...

And for his sake only, his mother seeks some redemption for all the pain she has intentionally inflicted on others... but I fear her soul is beyond that, and her place in hell is secure.

Smells like her and Rosie are teaming up for a show. I will block that channel.

Wow... a great internet meltdown... best I've ever seen.

Let's review

The Demonrats took control of the Congress last year... at the end of the day all they can do is lick Bush's boots... Libs get really mad.

Chavez shows his true colors this weekend and the Libs see just how much he is everything they espouse against... Libs get really mad.

The "Attention Whore" Cindy Seahag comes to the conclusion that her son died for nothing... sad... then leaves the Demonrat party... Libs get really mad.

Waiting for the next installment... rubbing my hands with glee.

Why don't I believe this is the last we've heard from her?

With any luck Michael Moore will make the same proclamation... I swear if these two had one more brain cell between them it would die of loneliness.

Hmmm.

Perhaps now Mother Sheehan will have enough time to put a headstone on her son's grave.

Seeing that she's now so concerned about her son's blood that is.

I usually have a lot of contempt for people, which is well deserved, but Cindy Sheehand is on a whole new level all by herself.

Lots of familiar faces still around here. I had a friend send this to me this Memorial Day and it is far to long to post however it makes for a good read today

[Link: americandigest.org...]

Mamma moonbat wont be gone for that long. She needs the limelight at this point. She will merge with the other far lefties to create a new political party. The anti war party or some nonsence like that. Maybe she will become buddy buddy with the anarchists. Who the heck knows.

Im glad that the house voted the way they did last week. Finally some good thinking is shown.

The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing.

Just this morning? You've been saying that for years, hag.

His precious lifeblood drained out in a country far away from his family who loves him,

You don't love Casey Sheehan and never did, hag. You spat on his service while he was alive, and after he died you didn't lose a step; you just went right on hating the service and the nation he loved so much he gave his life for it. His death obviously meant NOTHING to you beyond the celebrity podium it gave you from which you could continue insulting his country, his mission, and him. Hag.

killed by his own country which is beholden to and run by a war machine that even controls what we think.

(Jews.)

I have tried every since he died to make his sacrifice meaningful.

You've been trying, since before and after he died, to insult him and the cause he fought and died for. You've called his fellow soldiers terrorists. You've hailed the enemy that killed him as heroes and freedom fighters. You spit on your son every single day, you miserable sow, and I honestly hope you don't stop, because through your lunatic rants you've done more for your intellectual opponents than they could ever hope to accomplish themselves.

Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.

Talk about projection. How many human lives would have been lost already if this witch got her way and we abandoned Iraq and Afghanistan to their fates?

It is so painful to me to know that I bought into this system for so many years and Casey paid the price for that allegiance. I failed my boy and that hurts the most.

Anyone who believes you were ever acting in the name of your "boy" (and you continue to insult this brave man by calling him that) is a bigger tool than even you are. (I'm lookin' at you, Sean Hannity.)

I can't stomach parsing this retarded missive beyond the first demented paragraph, but I can't let this one last sentence go by...

Good-bye America ...

FOAD, from a Canadian.

".. Casey did indeed die for nothing.."

That's a lie. What's true is that Mama Moonbat lives for and values absolutely nothing of importance.

Camp Casey has served its purpose. 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.

This may be a rhetorical question, but is she really that stupid? Surely she must ne aware that the ranch in Crawford is owned by George and Laura Bush. It isn't government property that gets used by every president. Of course, she is that stupid. I know.

And she is quitting her silly crusade about as much as Hillary is not running for president in 08.

I heard Rosie talked her in quitting and taking her spot on the View

Just Kidding

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.

Such a shame that it took her this many years to realize that she has other children. Hopefully, they are willing to have her in their lives after she pushed them away like that.

I'd feel pity for her, but that was used up a while back. Hopefully her children are more forgiving.

How's this for a KOS komment:

PS, being called a whore is not such a big deal
We have all, us women, been called that. Sometimes by our husbands, sometimes our fathers, sometimes it is our community and sometimes our country. Alot of times, it is our own girlfriends and sisters, even our mothers.

Ahem... Maybe YOU have, but most of us HAVEN'T been called whores, thank you very much!

Honestly, we are being too hard on this woman. She may have lashed out in grief. She may have been naive in those who she wanted to accept her. But now she knows. She has seen the evil of the Left. She has a long way to go for recovery.
But her son can lead her.
I pray for her.

Will she please carve this "I quit" message in mendacious marble so I have an ironclad guarantee that I will never have to hear from her again?

I love how she dimes out the prima donnas within all those screwball lefty organizations she

worked with. Its nice to get that backstage glimpse and see what an ego-driven flea circus it really is.

Maybe now she can buy a head stone for Casey and go home to see if any of her remaining kids recognize her.

She really made the left look stupid and and was such a total patsy and dupe that it quickly degenerated to the same plane as watching lindsay lohan go from one club to the next rehab to the next car crash etc.

I guess she peaked after Chavez and short of lighting her self on fire she had nothing more to offer.

Cindy: dont let the door hit you on the way out.

#239 Jon Carry

"Honestly, we are being too hard on this woman."

What, we are too hard on her? What are you thinking? This woman is the enemy. She has helped kill our servicemen by aiding and comforting the enemy. If she and here ilk prevail they will get many more of us (and not just our soldiers) killed and the rest of us enslaved to Islam. She is just as dangerous as the guy with the Semtex belt or the raving death cult jihadi with an AK-47, only more insidious!

#233 Pickle

Great post!

Mother Sheehag desecrated Canadian soil last May, I see.

Oy, Canada!

Mrs. Danger's response when hearing the news:

Ran out of money eh?

Toujours Pret

#242 NY Nana

Thanks for the link... and more ammo:

"I said: 'Casey I'll do anything. I'll take you to Canada. Please let's go to Canada. Or if you don't want to go to Canada I'll run you over with a car and break your legs, so please don't go."

The words of an unfit mother.

At least she admitted that she should be committed.

Good for you Cindy. Remember, admitting you have a problem is the first step.

It looks like, in some twisted, shallow, one-dimensional way, she's come to the realization that evil truly exists. Too bad she doesn't see that the true face of evil is not, as she still believes, the USA, but rather, those who would destroy it. Her son's death is regretable; her life is more so.

Awww who gives a fuck, that slime you side with isn't so grand after all eh? Loser.

It’s up to you now.

Thanks, Cindy.
I was wondering if I'd ever get my turn.

Good luck on your new direction (she's probably hoping that Hugo will make sure that she's THE new star on Caracas TV -- they've got a new direction, too)

Not gonna happen. She's resigned.
She's now a useless tool.
Heh.

If she had any frickin' dignity, she'd commit suicide to emphasize her point.

D. Edgren

I have also reached the conclusion that if I am doing what I am doing because I am an "attention whore" then I really need to be committed.

Uh... yes Mrs. Sheehan, you are an attention whore, and you need to be committed.

On this Memorial Day, we honor Casey Sheehan’s sacrifice.

Indeed. If her mother will not, at least Americans can. God bless you, Casey.

*yawn*

Now we see the dawning of what happens when a left wing moonbat realizes that they are just a figurehead of hate.

TO BE A LIBERAL

To be a bona-fide card-carrying liberal, there are certain beliefs you must subscribe to:

You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of funding.

You have to believe that the same overpaid public school idiot who can't teach 4th graders how to read is qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than nuclear weapons in the hands of the Red Chinese.

You have to believe there was no art before federal funding.

You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but pasty, loony activists who've never been outside Seattle do.

You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

You have to believe the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.

You have to believe the free market that gives us 500+ channels can't deliver the quality that PBS does.

You have to believe the NRA is bad, because they stand up for certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because they stand up for certain parts of the Constitution.

You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

You have to believe that Harriet Tubman, Cesar Chavez and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson or Thomas Edison.

You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge.

Ves

I have to wonder WHAT COUNTRY these people love?

If THIS is not the country she loves... then what country is?

Goes along with the whole "Dude, where's my country?" bumper sticker thing...

I mean... what country are they looking for? I feel like we've never actually been closer to the Socialist Ideal than we are now. With a pathetically small armed forces, more entitlements than ever, and a good proletariat walking in from the south non-stop... what country are they "remembering"?

#244 braverutherford

The words of an unfit mother.

'Unfit' is way too kind.

And I have a feeling she would have done it without a second thought. IIRC, Casey had enlisted to get away from her. He died a hero, and would be so hurt by her actions. Did she even, for a nanosecond, give a thought to what Casey would have thought of her? But I guess she already knew.

I do so hope the door hits her in the ass and causes more irreparable brain damage.

She is an attention whore as demonstrated repeatedly by the crowds of reporters around her.

From the comments at Kos:

Cindy, you walk with Thoreau, Gandhi, King

*gag*

She doesn't even walk with moe larry and curly.
They were effin' patriots.

Too bad you can't see the comments. The site is down for maintenance.

"Mother Sheehan" is down in the dumps.

Hey Cindy, just so you know, I respect your son's sacrifice, whether anyone else does or not.

He died doing what he believed was right.

This is the most any person can do.

- a Marine, who served in Viet Nam

On a positive note... Rosie and Cindy both quiting in the same week... Is America great or what?

In the words of my Command Sergeant Major...

"Sucks to be her!"

This seems appropriate to end Memorial Day, 2007. Casey Sheehan has surely earned it, though I can't say the same for his mother:

Lincoln’s Letter to Mrs. Bixby

(1864)


Executive Mansion, Washington, November 21, 1864.

Mrs. Bixby, Boston, Massachusetts:
DEAR MADAM: I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln.

Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love

An honest Leftard. Finally. How refreshing.

Goodbye America..you are not the country that I love...

Goodbye Cindy, unrequited love is a drag isn't it? Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Have fun in Venezuela or Cuba or whatever communist shithole you decide to live in.

Can you take Rosie with you?

longtime lurker, occasional commenter..

you know I can only have praise for the soldiers that give me the freedom to lurk on LGF while watching "Star Wars: The Legacy" on the History Channel, whilst also listening to Norah Jones' newest CD on the computer. (WAAYY OT, the comparisons between Lucas' visions and various mythological and historical figures is really COOL ! gets a bit lefty in the last 1/2 hour though.)
Anyway... thank you Casey for your sacrifice, and thank you American Armed Forces (of ALL stripes, Coast Guard & auxiliaries included too) for allowing me and my family the freedom to have a day off when the active duty folks won't get one.

I knew this day would come. I just wasn't prepared for it.
Well, her ego was no match for other attention-seekers. Her family wants nothing to do with her. She is left to grieve on her own. Sad, in a way.
I don't think her son died for nothing. She shouldn't think that way.

you are not the country that I love

Then get the f*ck out.

Seeing the ' we love you Cindy ' komments suddenly devolve into a paen to radical Islam/argument/troll watch was worth the read.
One of my fave's: a plea to all the jihadists out there not to universally blow themselves up, because ...who would be left to carry on the glorious fight?

#269,
The country that she loves is run by her hero, Hugo.

You all are dreaming if you think Cindy is going away. She will be like Ward Churchill and hang around for years. The left will beg her to carry on their pius stand against the evils of Bush, Cheney, Haliburton, et al. Besides, none of them are crazy enough to spend their days fruitlessly wasting their precious time in Crawford gettin' bit up by sqeeters and flirting with a case of melanoma.

BTW, our good buddy Ward is still employed by CU and there is no end in sight.

how about we purchase those 5 acres and make them into the GWBush gift shop? That way we can both piss off the moonbats, and perhaps even make a buck or 2. Could also make it into a monument, or perhaps a shooting range.

The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing.

My god...it's horrifying that a mother would speak so of her son's death in battle.

I know Cindy Sheehan will never read this, but since it's Memorial Day (well, almost), here's what her son died for:

* The removal of a brutal dictator. Saddam and his henchmen are no longer raping, torturing or murdering their own people.

* The removal of a key state sponsor of terrorism. Saddam was paying $25,000 to the family of each "suicide" bomber who blew himself or herself up in Israel. As a result, fewer Israeli mothers and fathers have had to bury their own children over the last four years.

* Bringing the first hints of real democracy and real freedom to the Iraqi people, who have suffered under the heels of a tyrant for decades. This is something that we take for granted, but they have never had.

* The possibility that other peoples in the Muslim world may also come to live in freedom, and the peace and prosperity that democracy can bring. The first fruits of this effort are starting to grown in Lebanon. Who knows where the light will spread next?

The peace movement for which Cindy Sheehan has fronted for so long want America to think that Casey Sheehan died for nothing. Some of us know better.

What a shame that Casey's own mother can't see it.

On this Memorial Day, even though I criticized Cindy and called her Sheehag before, and still probably will later, I would still salute her, no matter what she said. She did give birth to Casey, and he gave his life for her right to say anything she wants.

As much as I want to agree with you, this simply isn't true.

Casey, and the other Americans who died in Iraq did not die for our freedom - they died for the freedom of Iraqis.

Move in with Hugo you idiot!

The government should give this great woman a position! Make her the ambassador to her friends in North Korea or Venezuela!

It is evident that it never occured to Mama Moonbat that her son Casey died for what he believed in. What a shame she has disgraced her son so thoroughly, and in so doing has completely unraveled her own life. She is reaping what she has sown.

#267 Are you kidding? Rather, Brokaw and Pelosi in the first 3 minutes of the Star Wars Legacy telling us what all the gibberish really means? I gagged and floated off to watch Sopranos re-runs. The whole Star Wars bit has become a hallowed legend grist for the Left Coast-Carbon Footprint-iMAc-Takes-A-Village crowd...yecch.
And the last thing they want to comment on was that what Lucas was really doing was in step with the coming 80s...entreprenuership! Making a load of money and doing it your own way.
