The problem here is that the Right needs a person to attack and try to make a laughing stock. If she hadn’t been so blatantly hounded by the right, talked up, complained about, touted and condemned she would not be the person she is today. Her stunts are going to far, but this is a result of the Right not the Left. The Right has made her the poster child of the anti-war movement as they did to Michael Moore. It’s rarely the Left that actually build up these so called “poster child”’s of the Left and anti war movement.

I don’t think Sheehan has quite made a laughingstock of herself, although I try to avoid the MSM as much as possible. Nevertheless I am aware of her, her cause and her tactics. All I can say is that people will go to extremes to get attention for their cause, given the right motivation. I don’t make light of her loss, infact its terribly tragic. Each one of the 2000 killed is a terrible tragedy and a tough price to pay, as are the thousands more who have been wounded. But I still stand behind the war because its the right thing to do. If my son were to join the military, I would be proud of him.

Nevertheless, this is damn funny: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/40764

She can’t hurt the anti-war movement any more than it’s already hurt itself. A year ago when I thought of the anti-war movement, I thought of Michael Moore. Now Cindy Sheehan is the poster child. No real difference in my mind. I can’t take either one seriously .

I admit that Cindy really has gone too far. Really, if people were smart they’d distance themselves from her.

I agree that I’d like to have the troops come home and that this is an unjustified and illegal war, but her actions really are about publicity and remaining in the public eye. Tying herself to the White House fense is obviously staged to get herself arrested so she can be a “martyr”.

If she was smart, she’d do like Women’s Suffrage did and start a silent daily vigil as close to the White House as possible with as many people as possible.
