Sheehan Calls It Quits
 

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070529/ap_on_re_us/cindy_sheehan

We were so close Cindy.....don't......don't go.

She will be missed.

But my aim is getting better.

"When she had first taken on Bush, Sheehan was a darling of the liberal left. "However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the 'left' started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used," she wrote."

Imagine that.

"Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives."

I do agree with this statement.

Sadly enough, I do too.

But she is not really leaving. Unless one considers moving back to California "leaving" America...

If this truly is "no longer the country she loves", then she should consider really leaving. Maybe she can move to one she "loves" more.

Meanwhile, the rest of us will continue to work on this one, warts and all, without throwing our arms in the air and giving up. And without the unproductive, silly little tantrums characteristic of her cause in particular and most of the left's causes in general. Like the spoiled little child she is, we ignored her long enough and she ran out of interest in her foot stomping, arm waving little fit. That's really the only reason she is quiting; she quit getting the attention she craves.

+1 Fred and Kurt. But even a busted-up, dumb, deranged media whore of a clock is right twice a day.

ATEOTD, she's another loony, leveraged by the left/media until her baggage got too heavy. See also: Joe Wilson, Michael Bellesiles, Ward Churchill, et. al. ad. naus.

Well said.

She said this too, why did you guys leave this out?


"I guess no one paid attention to me when I said that the issue of peace and people dying for no reason is not a matter of 'right or left', but 'right and wrong,'" the diary says.

Sheehan criticized "blind party loyalty" as a danger, no matter which side it involved, and said the current two-party system is "corrupt" and "rapidly descending into with nary a check or balance: a fascist corporate wasteland."

and

She said the most devastating conclusion she had reached "was that Casey did indeed die for nothing ... killed by his own country which is beholden to and run by a war machine that even controls what we think."


She's right about those things, too.

It's becoming a myth that people can work grassroots to change our government. Entrenched interests will derail it every time.

If her message was universally appealing, I think she would have succeeded. Instead, her message was polarizing and myopic.

It was not the mesage, it was the messenger that was attacked.


As always.

Because I won't be lectured on "right and wrong" by someone who celebrates the actually tyrannical, murderous regimes of Castro and/or Chavez.

Does the chief clinical specimen for Bush Derangment Syndrome have any standing to decry "blind" anything? Let alone the moral compass or even awareness of irony in declaring the US a fascist wasteland, while embracing Cuba or Venezuela as social and political archetypes? "Nary a check or balance"? She's a poet, a vox clamatis in deserto? No, she uses hyperbole as "fact" and mistakes fervor for reason.

She's a moonbat, just as f*cked-up crazy, directionless and blathering as the American Idol fans she decries. If her son didn't, by his death, build her a cross upon which she so spectacularly and incoherently threw herself, nobody, anywhere, ever, would have put a microphone in front of her sagging face. We have the MSM and their agenda to thank for this creation.

Frankly, the last quote is just too stupid to respond to.

Sheehan, like Rosie, has more fans on the right than the left. We ignore her, why can't you guys do so as well?

Several Right Wing groups made donations to Sheehan's cause to help keep her going.

we did. why the hell do you think she quit? :p

Rosie & Cindy both in 1 week?

Fly free, Mother Moonbat! (anyone wanna' buy a ditch)?;)

Aw, she's just pissed she got upstaged by these asshats:

OMG!

"....where she planned to return to her native California.

"I'm going home for awhile to try and be normal," she said."


Yeah. See above post......

Her son Casey died so we all can watch American Idol.

The Grass Roots level still works...door to door. Howard Dean raised alot of money on the Internet. The Democratic Partty wouldn't let him be President but they sure put him in charge of the DNC. They love his money...and as such he has alot of input into the system.

I'm not sure I agree. We look at Dancing with the Stars and American Idol and the Sopranos as a diversion. Folks in other coutries woud do the same if they could.

Americans care, we just don't do stress well. Things are good here. Maybe too good.

Son's insurance money ran out and the left wing donations petered out.

So Cindy and Rosie have one way tickets to Caracas! Sweet! Maybe they both will host a new show together on HugoTV?

Re: her last heartfelt letter, just in case you have not read it yet. It's well written and says a few things we should all be able to acknowledge.

This is the only part some flag wavers should have a problem with, I say screw it if you are offended. The deaths of hundreds of thousands is far more offensive.

She's leaving America for California. How appropriate.

Too bad she did not go to live with her friends...Castro (Cuba), (Chavez Venzuela), or Elvis (N. Korea).

Maybe she can take all those liberals who said they would leave the USA if President Bush won again in 2004:D Maybe they can all move to that fictitious country that corrine brown wanted to defend:rolleyes:
