What is most interesting to me is that the press gives this
little bunch of people who are protesting with Cindy so much air time
without discussing Cindy's background. This is a case of more press bias. It has
been pointed out on just a couple of 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 Democratic Party. She had very little to do with her son
in his growing years. She remarried. The 1st husband remarried. The
original father raised the son 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 in 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? Not many.
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. H. A. Brown

"The piece quoted above, criticizing Ms. Sheehan's alleged lack of involvement in her son's upbringing after divorcing his father, is something fabricated out of whole cloth, evidently the product of someone's confusing a completely different family with the Sheehans. Cindy Sheehan and her husband, Patrick, were high school sweethearts who wed while both were in their early 20's and who have been married to each other for over 28 years. (Neither has ever been married to anyone else.) The couple had four children together, of whom Casey was the oldest. Both parents raised Casey together, first in the southern California community of Norwalk and later in the northern California town of Vacaville, where the Sheehans moved when Casey was 14. ...blah, blah, blah, ............"
