Cindy Sheehan: ‘Bin Laden’s alive, put your flags away!’
This is a little dated, but I can’t shake the feeling that Sheehan would fit in perfectly among the Alex Jones crowd.
“I am sorry, but if you believe the newest death of OBL, you’re stupid,” Sheehan writes, already setting up a fair and measured conversation. “Just think to yourself—they paraded Saddam’s dead sons around to prove they were dead—why do you suppose they hastily buried this version of OBL at sea? This lying, murderous Empire can only exist with your brainwashed consent—just put your flags away and THINK!”
Hundreds of comments follow, ranging from the loony to the incensed, both from those on her side and those quick to tell her to chill. “I guess you believe the lies?” Sheehan responds to one critic. “How’s your flag doing?” Later, she just gets testy and comments simply “fuckwads,” leading us to wonder if this really is Sheehan after all; one would think she knows that she at least has the ear of the public and would act accordingly.
Calling her latest rant bizarre is like calling the Titanic damp.
