Liberals Organize 'Vigils for Cindy Sheehan'

(CNSNews.com) -- Anti-war mom Cindy Sheehan isn't running for Congress yet, but she's getting the kind of publicity that most politicians can only dream about.

She has been camped near President Bush's Crawford, Tex., ranch since August 6, demanding a face-to-face meeting with Bush to complain about the war in which her 24-year-old son Casey died.

Shedhan, who quickly became a lightning rod for the leftist, anti-war, anti-Bush movement, recently called on "mothers everywhere to stand up with me so that no more of our sons and daughters lose their lives for a war based on lies and deception."

She has urged her supporters to organize vigils across the country -- "before one more mother's child is lost" -- and now a liberal advocacy group is making it happen.

MoveOn.org announced that it has teamed up with TrueMajority and Democracy for America in organizing "Vigils for Cindy Sheehan" -- "to remind people of the terrible price of war." The vigils are supposed to take place at 7:30 Wednesday night.

I am about to organize a plane ride out of this country for this ****ed up chick. The more people support her by claiming she is grieving, the more obvious it is that they support her hatefilled words against democracy and America as well. Not that there was any question whether liberals support those sort of opinions anyway.

[PatrioticAmerican]

"TrueMajority?" As in the true majority of idiots are leftist liberals? THAT true majority? What a joke. Those fools live in denial.

The giant has awoken, and will not be silenced. Despite their decades assault on our values and country, liberals will no longer speak for the TRUE MAJORITY, which is the in reality those of us who are patriotic, moral, and decent.

The pendulum has swung and now they will feel the blade of truth cut away their disingenuous veneer. Time for true Americans to speak up and over the blather of those who would destroy us.

[UhUhNoWay]

It is truly disgusting that you guys can attack a woman who is grieving the loss of her son due to a war she doesn't support just because you do happen to support the war. In no way is she "****ed up", in no way is her speech "hate-filled", and in no way is she speaking out against democracy...she is speaking out against this administration. She believes that America is fighting a war for the wrong reasons, and therefore that her son's death was unnecessary and all the more tragic. If you disagree with her and believe that the war is being fought for the right reasons, then the least you can do is sympathize with her over losing a child.MGallagher, take a minute and read through the reasons for being disgusted with her shameless use of her son's corpse to advance HER personal agenda. Her son was an adult in our ALL VOLUNTEER military.Her hatefilled speech is a disgrace to her son who obviously died fighting for what HE believed in. This isn't about being pro war, or anti war, or pro administration or whatever, it's the shameless way she drapes herself in her son's honor. Her beloved Casey obviously disagreed with her as he re-enlisted in order to be sent to Iraq. Do you think she honors her son by degrading the choices he made? Do you think she is above reproach simply because her son died honorably? Is her grief more valid than the mothers who support the war? No one dragged her into the public forum, she's thrust herself into our lives...she brought the attention to herself, both the positive and the negative...as everything in life. If she can't deal with the negative, perhaps it's time she take her family's advice and go home. Otherwise, suck it up and deal. That is life. So you go ahead and be disgusted with us, and I'll continue to be disgusted with her shameful self absorbed circus that dishonors her son. I might add, her beloved Casey bought with his blood, my right to freely speak my mind about his mother's disgusting display of self gratification.:bdh: :djd:

[PatrioticAmerican]

McG, the woman's a loon. Period. Get back to masterbating to porn, and leave the heavy lifting to us.

For one, this is NOT grieving!! As I have said, who the hell grieves this way? NO ONE!!!!

For two, she is not only speaking out against the war and the President, she HAS said numerous things against America itself. Calling this an immoral country and such (would have to read thru some threads to find more and to quote her exactly). She can speak against the war all she wants like the rest of you whiney liberals but when she starts denouncing this country, we have every right to be pissed.

Her issue with the war should be taken up without the use of her dead son, then maybe folks would have sympathy for her.

She hates this country and I encourage her to leave it !!!

[TechnoPrincess]

Cindy Sheehan is not grieving! Her husband and children are grieving. And they're grieving alone because she decided to take her agenda on the road. Despite her LIVING children's pleas to come home, she has staked herself out in front of the ranch and won't leave. Grief is something totally different.

[Kathy29]

Cindy SHeehan is wallowing in her fame. Grief is only the vehicle to the wallow.

The worst thing to happen to the entire US would be for her to be successful and turn Iraq into another turn tail and run like Viet Nam. For one thing, Iraq would turn into a bloodbath. For another, terrorists would know for a solid fact that the US has no stomach for fighting and we would see a wave of terror across the United States like no other anyplace on earth. Anti war activists would be celebrating the liberating effects of women wearing burkas and how it was just better for us all if they did.

[Wolfcounsel]

"How do you know that she is not grieving?" --McGallagher


I believe she is grieving. I also believe we should airlift her and all her group and drop them into Zarqawi's camp, so they can do the solidarity routine with him and his cowards.

[UhUhNoWay]

A couple questions for everyone:

1. How does "mother protests against a war in which her son died" = "mother is dishonoring her son's death?" The logic there is borderline retarded. So what if her son supported the Iraq invasion. SHE believes that he died in vain, and THAT is exactly why she is protesting. She is doing the exact opposite of dishonoring her son by demanding the truth about the war.
2. What does this have to do with her own personal agenda? What is she going to get out of this? How do you know that she is not grieving? You sound way too cynical. How can you assume that a woman who is protesting the death of her son is out for her own personal gain? And how have her actions led you to believe that???
3. If your child died in a war that YOU felt was unnecessary, would a protest really be that out of the question for you? And wouldn't you be a little shocked if someone even brought up the idea that you might be using your child's death for your own gain? You would think to yourself: "How can anyone think like that?" 1. Saying the President killed her son is flat out retarded. you choose to ignore the facts. Her son was an adult and chose to re-enlist, he believed in what he died for. She is by her actions, and words saying that he was wrong not to mention stupid, and died for nothing.Whatever she says about those who believe this war is just, she is also saying about her own son as he obviously supported the war. How is that honoring her son? It's not, it's using her son as a 'prop' in her Cindy Sheehan grieving mother 'show'
2.Perhaps cynical, I can live with that. I see a woman who speaks more about herself,her wants and desires,her feelings, her agenda which is basically to lose this war to make her feel better about herself, forget that would mean her 'beloved' son died for nothing...that doesn't matter, her other children do not matter, all that matters is what she'd like. Histionic if you ask me, not grief.
People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.
Needs to be the center of attention
Dresses or acts provocatively
Rapidly-shifting and shallow emotions
Exaggerates friendships
Overly-dramatic, occassionally theatrical speech
easily influenced; highly suggestible
3.What you, and Cindy Sheehan continually forget, this is not Vietnam, Casey Sheehan was NOT drafted. He enlisted, he volunteered...he decided. Even if she disagrees, she should honor him in death, not belittle and spit on the very beliefs he gave his life for. Odd how the rest of Casey's family understands this and has repeatedly asked her to stop. I guess they want her to stop because Casey doesn't need that much 'honoring'? No Wait... they said...and I quote 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 the expense of her son's good name and reputation. I guess they are just cynical too, not that they know this woman much better than any of us do.(You included) Gee I guess they are just grieving the wrong way.

[Kathy29]

I frankly don't give a rat's A if she thinks her son died in vain, or if she's against the war or anything else that goes on in that little pea brain. Come to think of it, didja notice that hump on her back. That must be where her brain slipped when it became unhinged.

There are MANY parents with CHILDREN fighting in Iraq and she has NO RIGHT to endanger their lives because she has "feeellllliiiinnnggggs". Right now Zarkawi and company are probably reviewing the tactics of "holding out" used by the Viet Cong until our own despicable left ends the war so that yes, EVERYONE who died will have died in vain. Then they can take the proven strategy of success here, and to Britian, and Italy and Denmark and whereever the hell else they feel like going.

[Apollo5600]

She is an extremist, and a Liar. As it is, she has already flip flopped about what happened when she first met President Bush.. She is just a tool, a propagandist of the most disgusting kind. According to her, even the Afghanistan war was the wrong war.. It goes beyond just being against the President, it's against Reason and Freedom. She is a pro-terrorist commie, nothing more. The fact is, the Media doesn't want to report the truth because of the propaganda value of a "grieving" mother.

[Apollo5600]

How is she endangering lives??? Do you honestly think that this war will be affected because of one person's voice? The president has proven to us that he will not bow to public opinion. And as for not "giving a rat's ass," do you know how sick you sound?

What is really sick is that you keep defending your Commie sister without even addressing what she is saying! It isn't as simple as "being against the Iraq war", her views are directly from the left-wing fringe. It is possible that the Commies merely latched on to her and sucked her into it, but the simple minded propagandist is still without escuse. She is an insult to me, she is an insult to America, she is a insult to the sacrifices of our Brave men and women. A disgusting woman, and a disgusting group of people who are so sick to think that America is the enemy of the world!

[Peachdiane]

I do feel sympathy for anyone who has lost a child in the wars. But my perception is this lady is not grieving. The whole thing has turned into a "look at me" stunt. For one thing she keeps asking (demanding) questions on war policy. It's not hard to get the answers on the internet...

You asked how she was being unsafe for America. Don't you see she (and all the other anti-war freaks) align themselves with the insurgents, by their actions and words. I can't believe you cannot see how anti-war people are empowering the terrorists. She is adding to the forces of hate and terror that killed her son.

McG, whatever liberaloser board you slithered here from, go back there and leave the people with three-digit IQs alone.

SHEEHAN IS A REPULSIVE<br>HATE-DRIVEN BITCH!

Is that clear enough?

On the bright side, Sheehan shows us what Democrats would say if they thought they were immunized from disagreement. Sheehan has called President Bush "that filth-spewer and warmonger." She says "America has been killing people on this continent since it was started" and "the killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years." She calls the U.S. government a "morally repugnant system" and says, "This country is not worth dying for." I have a feeling every time this gal opens her trap, Michael Moore gets a residuals check.Cindy Sheehan: Commander in grief (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45827)

Feel free to support that ugly, screeching hag if you're stupid enough to buy her bullshit, but don't come to a conservative BB spewing your vacuous verbiage. All you're doing is begging to have your punk ass sliced, diced, pureed and handed back to you in a Baggie.

No wonder you were voted Poster of the month.

HEAR HEAR!!!!

Dittoes from the left coast!!

BTW, that cartoon cannot be posted enough.

That picture is indeed worth a thousand words!!

Once in a while, a person's gotta loosen the shackles of civility and let loose with a rant.

[Kathy29]

How is she endangering lives??? Do you honestly think that this war will be affected because of one person's voice? The president has proven to us that he will not bow to public opinion. And as for not "giving a rat's ass," do you know how sick you sound?

What are you, ten years old. The voices of the despicable left certainly affected the Viet Nam war. We left because of the left and unleashed a horror of mass killings on the Viet Namese people. It was the voices of the left that shaped the entirety of the strategy of holding out that the VC successfully used until our own despicable leftists caused us to leave.

Hey SINdy sheehan, ho ho hay hay how many kids you gonna kill today.

[Jag Wife]

I'm starting to think that tart is mentally ill. Time to take your Risperadol, Cindy dear.

[nene]

Cindy Sheehan has become a whore.

[DoctorDoom]

How is she endangering lives??? Do you honestly think that this war will be affected because of one person's voice?On April 18, 2004 in a Detroit News article Tom Sowell pointed out,

"Support for the war eroded and demands that we get out reached a crescendo. The irony in all this is that the communistic insurgents were beaten decisively during the Tet offensive. But what they lost in battle in Vietnam the communists won in the American media and in public opinion shaped by the media."

In later years, after the communists were firmly in power in Vietnam, they admitted that the Tet offensive was a military disaster for them. The Premier of N. Vietnam stated — "That if it hadn't been for your rebels and collaborators we would have sued for peace but because of them we had too much going for us."

General Vo Nguyen Giop, commander of the North Vietnamese forces believed that their war strategy was valid and well grounded and well formulated but not sufficient for victory. He also stated that his military had been hard pressed to being victorious in any battle but they were encouraged to continue since the American troops were being knifed from behind with the cleaver of American public opinion.

In an interview which appeared in the Wall Street Journal August 3, 1995, the then Colonel Bui Tin stated frankly "that the key to their victory was the American home front, and that they were encouraged to fight on by all the anti-war demonstrations in the United States." He further acknowledged that "Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."Socialism-Communism-Democratism –What's the difference? (http://www.tysknews.com/Articles/democratism_pt2.htm)

NV Col. Bui Tin's full quote:

"Support for the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9AM to follow the growth of the antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by Jane Fonda and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses. We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war and would struggle along with us ... those people represented the conscience of America ....part of it's war-making capability, and we were turning that power in our favor."Colonel Bui Tin (http://www.lcompanyranger.com/weapons/colonelbuitinpage.htm)

One voice? Stupid child, she's just the latest poster slut for the anti-war traitors, following in Hanoi Jane Fonda's footsteps.

[Lazarus]

Dontcha love that phrase "Vigils for Cindy Sheehan"? As if she's on a hunger strike and is slowly wasting away...

I wish they would start the confirmation hearings for Roberts - As soon as that starts the media will forget St Cindy and maybe we can get some relief... Its like throwing a stick for the MSM... Here ya go boys... Chase the stick...

I never thought I'd actually miss the Michael Jackson trial... Sheesh!:rolleyes:

[Lazarus]

...So in conclusion, would it be fair to say that you believe that anyone who is against a war is adding to the forces of hate and terror that the war is supposedly being fought to destroy?Can you imagine anyone doing this kind of stunt outside of Roosevelt's home during WW2? This woman is a media slut... She's getting off on the attention and celebrityship of the moment - she's the leftwing's poster girl - their little sweetheart... She has opinions on everything from Iraq to Israel to Afghanistan... Arent you the slightest bit suspicious of her intentions?

Grieving mother? She's so self-absorbed Im suprised she can even remember what her son's name was... Maybe that's what all those other people are there for - to remind her in case some reporter gives her a pop quiz...

[tacitus]

It is truly disgusting that you guys can attack a woman who is grieving the loss of her son due to a war she doesn't support just because you do happen to support the war. In no way is she "****ed up", in no way is her speech "hate-filled", and in no way is she speaking out against democracy...she is speaking out against this administration. She believes that America is fighting a war for the wrong reasons, and therefore that her son's death was unnecessary and all the more tragic. If you disagree with her and believe that the war is being fought for the right reasons, then the least you can do is sympathize with her over losing a child.

Get real. There are many parents that have lost children in a war, and many children that have lost parents in a war. This is nothing more than hate inspired BS. That you can't see that is your problem. :rolleyes:

[Lazarus]

...She believes that America is fighting a war for the wrong reasons...I also believe the war is for the wrong reason, but I still support the decision to go... After we are committed, these public displays of protest achieve nothing but to raise the moral of our enemies...

BTW, you wouldnt like the reasons I think we should have gone to war over - I have a list a mile long justifying why Sadam should be taken out... And I doubt you'd care for the way I would have executed the war, either, although I can guarantee it would have been over a lot quicker...

But still I have enough dignity and concern for those people in the combat zone to not strut in front of TV cameras simply for the purpose of tearing down a seated president while we are at war...
...and therefore that her son's death was unnecessary and all the more tragic...Her son's death was a risk he took when he joined the Army and took an oath to defend our constitution and obey the commands of his commander-in-chief... This may be a confusing concept for you to grasp but its the concept that every soldier, sailor, and marine understands when he agrees to take on the duty... He goes where the president sends him, with quiet dignified obedience even when he disagrees with the President's decision...

One wonders... Where were all the Cindy Sheehan worshipers when our Rangers were murdered and dragged thru the streets of Somolia as a result of Mr Clinton's executive decision to have the Army act as caterers to a barbaric mob of thugs?

Where were all the Cindy Sheehan worshipers when body bags came home from Bosnia - Another Clinton executive decision that we are STILL tangled in...

Im still waiting to hear the outrage from the Left on those events...:flame:
