Here's the thing... Is Sheehan a liberal or simply a distraught mother?

Why not both?

To me she seems more like someone who cares more about getting attention for herself than she does about her son.

As I've said before she was a nut case before her son died and she hasn't gotten any better afterwards.
I have been reborn a new man!

Notice I never said a better man.

Her son is dead. This just in.

How would you know? I can't recall any media attention given to Sheehan while her son was alive.

Must be that danged liberal media at it again...

A note from her publisher:

Dear Friends,



As publisher of Cindy Sheehan's new book, Not One More Mother's Child, I need to set the record straight about a lie circulating right-wing websites that has even made it onto amazon.com.



I donated 100 copies of Not One More Mother's Child to Crawford Peace House, encouraging them to sell these copies to benefit their work. During her Thanksgiving Vigil near President Bush's ranch, Cindy agreed to sign copies for those who bought them, as a benefit for Crawford Peace House. AP and Reuters posted photos – I can't imagine why – of Cindy sitting at the book table between signings, rather than while someone was at the table. And now the smear websites are circulating an article, with these photos, that Cindy gave a signing and nobody came. It's simply not true! She not only signed all 100 copies and raised $2,000 for Crawford Peace House, she got writer's cramp!



These kinds of lies helped defeat Senator McCain in 2000 and Senator Kerry in 2004. The right has been trying to humiliate and "Swift-Boat" Cindy since she helped galvanize the peace movement in August. It is important to set the record straight. Cindy's book, Not One More Mother's Child, is being very well received nationwide, and the benefit booksigning in Crawford Texas on November 26, 2005 was well attended and a huge success.



Thank you.

Well, we can be sure the publisher didnt post that out of concern that the book might tank if the impression gets out that nobody is reading it or interested.  No, that publishers statement wouldnt be that self-serviing, I am sure he isnt concerned about losing money.  Like heck.

lol, "she signed all 100 copies" but they didn't mention how many they sold, if any.

"took pictures between signings". What are those empty chairs for? Maybe they had scheduled signing times because there were so many people they couldn't manage them all at one time.

It probably would have looked even worse if they had taken pictures durinf the "signings, cause I'll bet that no more than a few people where ever there at one time.

The publisher is funny, yet stupid.

She was an activist before her son died....tap tap ...hello have you not been paying attention?

They have shown home videos of her at demonstrations long before her son died so you can't say her behavior was only caused by his death.

BTW just because the media didn't cover her before her son died doesn't mean she wasn't a nut case.

I guess that also means people are wrong when they accuse her of using her son's death for publicity. Seems to be established that she has been the same nutcase all along.

As a matter of fact, I haven't been paying attention to Sheehan. Thanks.
