Case in point.
And she doesn't sound like a raving lunatic to me, though I'm sure thats what you would have others think.
She sounds angry though
In their secret hiding places, while celebrating newly won fortunes with their fellow brass, these men must surely congratulate themselves with orgies of carnal pleasure as they mock the dwindling multitudes who are yet so blind as to mistake them for God's devoted servants.
Read that again. That doesn't sound like a raving lunatic to you? I live a block from a homeless shelter. I don't hear **** as crazy as this even from the guy who pisses himself on a daily basis.
If you feel the need to sum up a whole persons life through a few sentences or a few quotes then go right ahead but you'll run straight into a brick wall if your looking for truth.
How about you look at the person rather than what you've been told and see what a liar she is?
June, 2004. She meets with Bush.
June 24, 2004. Just days later, interviewed in paper, says President Bush was "...sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis...I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."
March 2005. Writes letter chock full of anti-Semitism, saying that her son "was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel" and that he "joined the Army to protect America, not Israel."
July 5th 2005. Describes meeting Bush the first time as "one of the most disgusting experiences I ever had and it took me almost a year to even talk about it." (If by year, you mean a few days.)
August 2005. Tells Chris Matthews she would not have reacted differently at all if her son had died in Afghanistan. "Sheehan argued that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was "almost the same thing" as the Iraq war"
August 11 2005. "We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect." - "Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins."
August 12 2005. Husband files for divorce, citing irreconciliable differences.
September 16, 2005. Claims that the national guard troops in NOLA are the same as US troops in Iraq, calls for an end to "occupied New Orleans"
Sep 24, 2005. While the US is being hit by Hurricane Rita, she gripes about the amount of coverage dedicated to the hurricane. I am watching CNN and it is 100 percent rita [sic] ...
even though it is a little wind and a little rain... it is bad, but there are other things going on in this country today... and in the world! ...the media will cover anything else besides the war." (Anything that takes away from your spotlight MUST be bad...)
Nov 2, 2005. "The people that are being killed in Iraq are not terrorists."
She is nuts. Her world view is so skewed that its laughable. Its that simple.
It is true. The only time it would be denied is when it starts to hurt you politically. Then you will slowly edge away like the democrats are doing with Cindy Sheehan.
Actually, its not true. If someone is grieving, I say leave them to it. If they want to take their grief and use it to get in front of the cameras and become spokespersons for advocacy, they lose every bit of that sympathy. On either side.
