Cindy Sheehan called the President a liar and make other
irrational statements under the first amendment protections.
We do not debate that freedom. We mourn the loss of Casey. We can symphatize with any
grief she may have.
We however, wonder why the so called journalists did not do their homework and reveal to
the public the background of this individual. The press gives this group of people who are
protesting with Cindy hours and hours of air time, day after day. They refuse to discuss
Cindy's background. It would not meet with their agenda. This is a case of more press
bias.
It has been pointed out on just a scant few minor media outlets that Cindy divorced her
first husband and left her son with him to be raised while she became a political activist
for the Democrat Party.. She had very little to do with her son in his growing years.
She remarried. The 1st husband remarried.
The original father raised his son Casey with his new wife. They miss their son and mourn
the loss of his life. They have stated that they are very proud of their son and
that they agree with the stance of America/Iraq and on terror. They said that their son
was eager to serve and to go fight the terrorists in Iraq. He volunteered.
How many news stations carried
their interview?
So the son dies in Iraq and then Cindy shows up to make a stink.
She gets an audience with Bush. That was not enough. She goes to Crawford and demands
another audience. How many news stations carry the ongoing saga of Cindy? Practically all
of them. Cindy didn't care about her son. She let another woman raise him. Cindy
doesn't care about the other soldiers in Iraq. Cindy cares about her liberal,
feminist agenda and about using the death of her son to lobby against Republicans and
Bush. And the press is helping her. Why? Then 2 days ago, Cindy's 2nd husband filed for a
divorce from Cindy.
Cindy sounds like a feminist opportunist who did not have the sense of responsibility to
even raise her own son. It looks like her 2nd husband is fed up with Cindy. We middle
Americans should be fed up with Cindy also. We should be fed up with the press. They
manipulate us into their "group think" and into the responses that they want on
their polls.
After Slate
published her real opinions on politics (a weird confection of pacifism with
paranoid anti-Zionism), she was eventually asked about her statement that her son Casey
had been killed in a war for Israel, and she denied ever having made it. So, we must now
say that, as well as being a vulgar producer of her own spectacle, and an embarrassment to
her family, Cindy Sheehan is at best a shifty fantasist.
After Slate published an extract from a letter that she
wrote last March to ABC Nightline, Anderson
Cooper of CNN asked her about the anti-Israel remarks the letter contained. She denied
making them and proceeded in her blog to assert that someone had gotten hold of her
original letter and somehow doctored it. This dark and murky allegation—evincing
further paranoia on her part—has been easily and convincingly refuted, as can be seen
in this
