Hey, its America, why not cash in on the anti-American protesting over the body of her dead son, its not like he's going to do anything about it...

That's odd Sandy. I did a general search on WashingtonPost about Sheehan, and came up with nothing recent.

I then searched Politics, and the US section. Neither came up with it.

Odd that it's placed in the middle east section...

I googled it.

again this is the longest 14 minutes and 59 seconds in history.

is that a stack of her books on the table? Looks more like a pamphlet then anything.

Only because you're paying too much attention to Sheehan.

I don't believe Sandman, A.)ever got an answer to his question about how she is being exposed for money grubbing....I mean what a great plan....have the US invade on manipulated intelligence, then have your son sent over and killed in this war and then cash in on it...wow, brilliant!,

and B.) how is she Anti-American?

I don't agree with her views and I think her son's death has led her to her opinions (which everyone has their own personal reactions to a loved-one's untimely death), but I don't think she is against Americans.

Unless you count the most American of traits as being Anti-American, and that is the trait to disagree with and voice your opinion about what your elected, representative government is doing, whether it be a war on foreign soil or even something as local as opposing city ordinances.

I mean, wasn't it that trait that started this whole USA ball rolling some 200 odd years ago??

I think Bodhi hit the nail right on the head

And pretty much summarizes my feelings and the situation exactly.
She was used like a mere pawn. They propped her up and milked her tragedy dry, and then some. And now that shes served their purpose they leave her out to dry in the cold wind of indifference

hmmm..my only two comments in this thread are about her fifteen minutes of fame lasting a LONG time. Personally I agree with Bodhi, she got the "yellow pages treatment" by the anit war crowed.

Unless when you said "your're paying to much attention" you were in fact referring to my "people".

Sandy I'm shocked, what a bigoted racist thing to say.

Yes, she is very clearly still distraught about what happened.

midnight Target · « **Reply #24 on:** November 29, 2005, 10:31:23 AM »

OMG she smiled!

Shoot her!

.........and BTW Stringer sounds like a lefty to me

Sandman · « **Reply #25 on:** November 29, 2005, 10:41:48 AM »

LOL.

IMHO, Sheehan is just another shrill harpy. I suspect that most if not all of the people that showed up in Crawford for the "demonstration" probably don't have jobs.

Just sayin', every picture I've ever seen of her, the only one where she's not smiling is the book signing. I geuss I'd have alittle more sympathy for her if she didn't seem to get so much enjoyment out of being used by the anti-war movement.

I don't think she is resonating.

Still, if you like her, you like her.

If you want to abandon Iraq, I guess you like her. Or maybe you identify with other liberal positions...

I don't care for her, and I don't think she speaks for her son. Her son. The one who sacrificed, who's wishes she ignores. The one she is springboarding from, for better or worse. Am I wrong that her primary support comes from the "Progressives" and from others who are from outside the country, like Gnash? If so, why doesn't her family come 'round. Why do they reject her?

Sandman · « **Reply #28 on:** November 29, 2005, 12:27:23 PM »

I'm all for abandoning Iraq, but Sheehan never resonated with me.

midnight Target · « **Reply #29 on:** November 29, 2005, 12:27:52 PM »

She is out there on the idiot fringe... putting her up as a symbol of liberalism just to attack liberalism is like putting Pat Robertson up as a symbol for conservatism....

Oh wait..... nevermind.
