I'm going to try to hold the bile down as I write this. I might not have any luck and have to end this early though.
That said, ideologically Cindy Sheehan is wrong. I'm not going to sit here and apologize first because her son died. She loves to wave around the death of Casey. She brings it up in EVERY SINGLE PUBLIC STATEMENT SHE MAKES. How does the death of her son prove that taxes need to be raised? How does the death of her son prove that the government should be in charge of health care? How does the death of her son make her right on any stupid issue she's come out in favor of? The death of her son doesn't even prove that the war in Iraq is wrong.
Okay - I'm sorry you're wrong (and not smart enough to see it.)
But just because this woman is an idiot that doesn't mean it's okay for the left to take advantage of the woman (which is exactly what they did.) According to the biographies I'm reading, the woman was born in 1957 and her life started in 2004 with the death of her son. How strange that a modern day figure has absolutely no notes on her past anywhere. Although it's not noted anywhere I can find, I do believe that Sheehan was featured in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9-11". A very strange credit in the Internet Movie Database would seem to confirm this. Although it gives a short bio of Sheehan there, it lists no acting credits at all.
Thus Sheehan just emerged out of thin air. She walks around talking about how her son died in war in Iraq - but so what? Thousands of mothers and fathers have lost their kids Iraq. Why did Sheehan rise to the top to become a celebrity?
The short answer is that she's a left wing construct. Libs saw a woman who is obviously insane with grief and instead of dropping the money to get the woman a shrink, they spent it giving her a platform to make a circus of herself. How in the hell does a woman who lists her occupation as "Housewife" have millions of dollars to organize protests, buy five acres of land in Texas for thousands of dollars and party with Movie Stars? How does a nobody get a book deal, her own stage play and a movie deal?
Answer: she's a useful idiot. Much like that girl in high school that all the football players had sex with - she wasn't popular, they just knew they could put her on display and she'd go along with it.
And thus is Cindy Sheehan. As long as the left had someone out there willing to embarrass themselves life was good - especially since the left was out of power. Someone had to go out there and say the things libs think but would never dare say (like the war in Iraq is really a war for Israel.)
But now there's a problem: Democrats and Libs are back in power. Now instead of being a face of the movement, Sheehan is more like the embarrassing aunt. They don't want Sheehan to say what they all think anymore (lest it ruin their chances in the next election.)
Case and point: on July 3, 2007 Sheehan announced that if Pelosi doesn't draw up articles of impeachment by the end of July, she would run against her in the next election.
And the firestorm began. So far, Sheehan has been "Warned" about posting on the lefty site DailyKos. Apparently Kos is (now) a Democrat Hack site that only supports Dems. Funny, cause I remember Lieberman about this time last year, was Kos' public enemy #1 since he supported the war. It seems like I also remember the Kossacks supporting Sheehan's speeches to the Communists, the Socialists, the Venezuelans who support Hugo Chavez, etc. Frankenstein's monster is free to rampage the peasant village, just don't let her back in when she runs back to the castle.
So the moral of the story is "Threaten OUR power and you're out." I can't help but feel sorry for the woman. She's too intellectually vacant to see what they were doing. This makes even madder at the left. But I'm not surprised. Their power means everything to them - and people are just tools to an end like any other rotten movement.
The Nazis had their "Night of the Long Knives" where they massacred all their radicals. Seems that the left is having theirs as well.
