Sheehan is a mother who lost her son in a war that so far, no one has been able to justify.

Trying to demonize her only serves to make Republicans look even worse.

Incidentally...Sheehan's approval rating isn't that far from Bush's.

We have already heard from a good number of her son's other relatives who support the President but their views do not seem to count.

We have also heard from other families whose children have died in Iraq like:

She Does Not Speak for Me.

We have also heard from Mrs. Sheehan herself including the initial deception of failing to tell the world (when she was demanding a meeting with the President) that she had already met with him!

But none of this is good for the left. We should all accept all the crap that this woman spouts simply because her son died in Iraq. This includes the other mothers who do not like her comments.

Strange thing is, the worst enemy Mrs. Sheehan has is her own mouth.

She's another moronic poster child for people that were going to bash Bush anyway.

Cindy Sheehan is a mother grieving her son's death!...It is too bad that she is unable to accept that her son died fighting for freedom and democracy in a War he believed was important enough to fight! It is really sad that someone close to her has not been able to persuade her to grieve in private! She has lost her husband and her mother had a stroke! This poor woman is in deep pain!...BUT... It is time for her to get some professional to help her with her grief!...President Bush has already spoken with her once and he is aware of her opinion on the War!..Go Home Cindy and figure it out! Your son was not drafted! He willingly went over to fight for what he believed was right! Like it or not! God bless him and hopefully Cindy Sheehan can find some peace in his courage and bravery!

The left is dreaming if they think that she can help win over the mainstream. Shes says things like this (per FrontPage website):

“America has been killing people on this continent since it started. This country is not worth dying for.”

I wonder if the Cindy critics even know how Casey died.

He was on a rescue mission in the Baghdad slum called Sadr City. Casey entered the warzone with 6 other Americans and several companies of Iraqi troops that manned posts throughout the area.

Who were Casey's enemies? Sunni backers of Saddam Hussein? Al Qaeda fighters? Al-Zarqawi guerrilas? No, they were militia members of the anti-American Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr. During the firefight that cost Casey his life, the al-Sadr militia had overwhelming superiority in numbers. Why? Because our Iraqi troops that Rumsfeld said were 200,000 in number and fighting effectively on the front line dropped their weapons and ran away like screaming girls.

As Casey lies dead in his grave, the man responsible for his death is a prominent member of the Iraqi government, a position he earned thanks to the election.

Casey died so that an anti-American Shiite extremist could advance his political career? Casey died for Iraqi "soldiers" so committed to their nation's freedom that they would drop their weapons and run at the first sign of danger?

Casey's mother has a right to be pissed off at this war and the president that leads it.

Casey's mom has that Right because of people like Casey who have fought and died to secure freedom and democracy!...God bless Cindy Sheehan for having a son who believed in fighting with courage and bravery for our country and our world!...Cindy Sheehan hopefully will be able to restore her family and the dignity it deserves for having a son like Casey! Go Home Cindy and be thankful for what you have! Go Home and Grieve in private! Give your son's death some dignity by accepting that he believed in what he was doing!...Like it or not!

You have not been paying attention all this time otherwise you would know. I can't help it if you have the attention span of a walnut or intentionally turn a blind eye to fact. Pesky things like facts tend to get in the way of your agenda, don't they? People like you also think the UN is a paragon of virtue, too.

Of course it doesn't help when you have the Democrats and Democratic propaganda machine aka the MSM (please note that ABC news is one of the largest employers of former Clinton administration members and other well known Democrats.) being the fifth column for Islamofascism. It doesn't help when the Democrats try to bury documents (some by stuffing them in Sandy Bergers pants) that the Clinton adminsitration knew and INTENTIONALLY did nothing, either. The 9/11 commision was a whitewash of the Clinton administration, a vain attempt to win an election for Kerry and to keep Hillary as "snow white" as possible. Disgusting.

Trying to demonize her only serves to make Republicans look even worse.

Who is "demonizing" her? No one is. Well, I guess to your ilk speaking the truth is considered "demonizing". To put it in plainer terms "I guess the truth hurts, doesn't it?" At least the "demonization" is spewing forth from her own mouth, unlike the Democrats trying to "demonize" John Roberts by attempting to imply that his son is "gay" and all the other shinola they have tried to spew.

Incidentally...Sheehan's approval rating isn't that far from Bush's.

Remember before the 2004 election the "opinion polls" and "exit polls" had Kerry winning? Why? Well it is not difficult to do that when they specifically weight a "poll" to push a political view and word questions in such a way to elicit the desired answers. The latest "opinion polls" are no different. Here is a link and a quote for you to sum up the latest "opinion poll".

Like all of you I woke up to the news of the latest Ipsos-AP poll and groaned. Bush’s approval on Iraq is down to 38%. His overall approval is a sorry 42%. And a “growing” number of Americans view the president as “dishonest.”

Well, those are the results you get if you ask a bunch of Democrats about a Republican president, I suspect.

Great post. Your combination of sound bites, graphics and personal asides is most illuminating. :)

Sometimes I feel so ashamed to be female.

What is really sad is her opinions on Gaza! ... Yikes! She really has gone over board!

If your wondering what the next "Swift Boat" ad is going to be, check out this article:

It details how Cindy spoke before a group supporting Lynne Stewart (lawyer convicted of supporting terrorists by passing along fatwas to followers). At this meeting, she dishonored her son by not walking out as they handed out fliers asking if this group should SUPPORT THE INSURGENTS. Her son would be so proud. Wow, Cindy had glowing words about Ms Stewart and spoke of Syria and Iran's right to possess nuclear weapons...as well as saying America isn't worth dying for. Certainly, she enjoyed Ms Stewart's talk and the other radicals who hate America-- while offering her theories on how to weaken America and sabotage the war on terror.

I imagine Reublicans are waiting for more Democratic leaders and MSM outlets to jump on Cindy's bandwagon...before they decimate the credibility of both. I guess the genuises on the Left should have employed a bit more strategic thinking before propping up a Leftist, anti-American sychophant. Is it any wonder that the majority of Americans do not trust these "brilliant minds" to run this country?

Cindy thinks Bush should encourage his daughters to enlist in the armed forces for so noble a cause. It occurs to me that he also has nephews who may be eligible. Where do the Bush kids stand on this war? And why haven't we heard from Bush on this subject?
