Cindy Sheehan's Message For the New Year
Cindy Sheehan: "Like Michael Moore, I want to be a fly on the wall when Bush and company are hauled out of the White House in handcuffs. Impeachment is not necessary for people who never were elected - eviction is what is needed. If you can't join us in Crawford, set up your own Camp Casey near you."
2006: The Year the Chickenhawks Will Go Home to Roost
By Cindy Sheehan
t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Wednesday 28 December 2005
Since hot, hot Camp Casey in August, some amazing grass roots actions have taken place all over the country. People are starting to speak up and Congress has begun to take action against the criminal and neo-Fascist regime that tried to take over America.
From Camp Casey, to Katrina, to use of chemical weaponry and extraordinary rendition, to illegally spying on American citizens without due process, BushCo has miserably failed our country and the world. We as Americans said "enough is enough." We sacrificed a lot when we showed up in DC and other cities around the country in the hundreds of thousands to protest and show that we withdraw any consent to be governed by murderous thugs. We started to peacefully but forcefully resist the notion that this government has any right to govern us when they have betrayed their offices and their sacred trusts as "defenders" of the Constitution so horribly.
This was also the year that we also began to hold such Republicans in Democratic clothing like Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, Joe Biden, and Diane Feinstein (list is my no means all inclusive) accountable for their support of what George is doing in Iraq. When we as Democrats elect our leaders we expect them to reject and loudly repudiate the murderous and corrupt policies of this administration, not support and defend them.
There are Camp Caseys in front of Hillary's and Chuck Schumer's offices in Long Island every Friday, as well as one in front of Diane Feinstein's Los Angeles office on Fridays. There has been a Camp Casey in front of Kay Bailey Hutchinson's office in Dallas since August. Several protestors have been arrested in Dallas exercising their First Amendment rights. We need to let these warmongers, as well as the Republican warmongers, know that we mean business when we say "bring them home now." Set up Camp Caseys in front of your Senator's or Congressperson's office if they support George in his wars of aggression.
Gold Star Families for Peace is planning many activities for the first part of 2006. I would like to give you all a heads up on them so you can make your plans accordingly to support us and to join us if at all possible.
On January 31st, we will be in Washington, DC for the State of the Union address when George gets in front of Congress and the world and lies through his teeth about how great everything is going in Iraq and here at home. His idiotic policies have ruined Iraq and New Orleans and made the world a more dangerous place - allowing that terrorist attacks have tripled world wide since he decided to "fight them over there." He also may be laying the ground work for further acts of needless aggression against Syria and Iran. GSFP and representatives from other peace organizations and refugees from New Orleans will be gathering in DC to give the "Real State of the Union." Check our website for place and time.
For the love of God, can't you make him stop? Recently, it was revealed that George only interacts with four people: Laura, Condi, Karen Hughes and his mom. His mom, the Ice Queen who didn't want her "pretty mind" burdened with the images of flag draped coffins coming home, lives in Houston. On President's Day, (Feb. 20) we will be demonstrating in front of her house to implore her to forget about the obscene profits that her family and their friends are making off of this occupation and to beg her to finally do the right thing and make her son stop this insane war of terror against the world. George and Dick are defiling the highest offices of the world and they need to resign. On President’s Day, when we have the day off, we need to demonstrate against the ones who are illegitimately in power, anyway. If you can't make it to Houston, organize your own President’s Day protest.
The Camp Casey Peace Foundation will hold its first annual Peace Festival and Concert on April 4, 2006. April 4th is the day Casey and Martin Luther King, Jr. were killed. We want to turn it into a true day for celebrating peace. The Camp Casey Peace Foundation will be awarding the Casey Sheehan Peace Prize, a cash prize, to a young peace activist every year. We want to foster the growth of solving problems non-violently and young people are the ones who get killed in the gray haired old men's wars. We are working on an exciting event and we will announce more details as the event draws closer.
Camp Casey Easter edition: We will be heading back to our leased land in Crawford April 11th for Easter, which is April 16th. Easter is a time of renewal and hopeful promises. Casey was killed on Palm Sunday and his body was returned to us in the cargo section of a United Airlines flight on Holy Saturday and we buried him two days after Easter. Last Easter Season was so painful to us. This Easter we will again be demonstrating in front of the man's home who is responsible for such pain and abject heartache in the world. But, we will be there with a renewed sense of hope that the Chickenhawks will be sent out to pasture this year. Like Michael Moore, I want to be a fly on the wall when Bush and company are hauled out of the White House in handcuffs. Impeachment is not necessary for people who never were elected - eviction is what is needed. If you can't join us in Crawford, set up your own Camp Casey near you.
In 2005, we learned that we have the power. We learned that we can't rely on the propaganda media or the empty promises of most of our elected leadership. We learned that we need to be the change that we desire to see.
We learned that one person can and does make a difference.
We cannot relax in 2006. We cannot slip back into the evil of apathy and complacency that the neocons rejoice in. We need to keep pounding, working, and fighting. We need to support organizations like Gold Star Families for Peace, Veterans for Peace, Code Pink and Iraq Veterans Against the War, or the Peace organization of your choice so we can continue our struggle for peace with justice. We need to support true American patriots like John Conyers who is calling for an investigation and censure for the lies that have cost us so much of our national human treasure.
2006 will be a great year for the people of our country. I know it.
It won't be easy, but we will prevail and the struggle will be worth it.

Why you publish this foul-mouthed, poorly framed letter as journalism is beyond me.
I could excuse Cindy Sheehan's zeal for the spotlight for a time. Now, she's just plain embarassing herself, and the Democratic party, which seems to be going to great lengths to distance themselves from her adolescent rhetoric.
The most telling line in this note is, "Like Michael Moore..."

The most telling line in this note is, "Like Michael Moore..."
Did Cindy really write this letter? Was it ghostwritten?
What about this sentense:
"We learned that one person can and does make a difference."
That doesn't sound characteristic of Sheehan.
Also curious:
"When we as Democrats..." Is Cindy throwing her fate with the Democratic Party-- even while criticizing it? A simple statement of fact? Just wondering.
As for Michael Moore... yeah, he is not the best example: he wanted Wesly Clark for president didn't he? That sentence would have been more powerful if she had not given him a gratuitous plug.
So many good-intentioned people want to "save" the Democratic Party-- in over thirty years have they shown that they have anything to save? Can the Democratic Party be changed?
Poor Cindy! What a minefield of interests tugging at her! She only wants to know:
For what noble cause did her son have to die? If there is no answer (and there hasn't been one)-- when will the troops come home?
Everybody should want to "co-opt" Cindy in my opinion. No one has told the truth better or more clearly than she.
What bothers me most is that Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, Joe Biden, and Diane Feinstein and the others can afford to thwart and ignore her.
How can they do that?

Take the point home, analyzer. I guess you mean it's possible for them to do that because Americans have this runaway delusion that the Democratic Party represents a meaningful option. Is that it?
On January 31st, we will be in Washington, DC for the State of the Union address when George gets in front of Congress and the world and lies through his teeth about how great everything is going in Iraq and here at home. His idiotic policies have ruined Iraq and New Orleans and made the world a more dangerous place - allowing that terrorist attacks have tripled world wide since he decided to "fight them over there." He also may be laying the ground work for further acts of needless aggression against Syria and Iran. GSFP and representatives from other peace organizations and refugees from New Orleans will be gathering in DC to give the "Real State of the Union." Check our website for place and time.
In her ever-increasing zeal to bring the U.S. War in Iraq to a close, Cindy Sheehan has promised that she will "continue lying down on everything and, if need be, everyone" until she gets her way.
Sheehan used a spread in Vanity Fair to launch this new phase of her campaign, which she has dubbed "Angry Horizontal Moms for Peace". In the spread, Sheehan lays on the grave of her son Casey.
"I've decided to let my natural girth be my weapon," said Sheehan. "The thought came to me when I was in Washington, D.C. and we had a 'die-in.' Everyone laid down in the street. You stay that way until the police come, and once they have enough guys to lift you, you go lie down in jail. Then you get out, and do it all over again."
Sheehan's new anti-war initiative may have consequences for more than just the Bush Administration: a cemetary groundskeeper for the Vacaville-Elimira Cemetery in Vacaville, Calif, where Casey Sheehan is buried, said that several workers had to log overtime to fill in the divot left by Sheehan's enormity.
"It was, like crazy, man," said the groundskeeper, who would only give his name as Paul. "If it rained, we could have gone swimming in those holes, man. We had to lower each other into them with ropes. We're still looking for one guy."
Sheehan seems committed to this new phase of her protest.
"I tried it out over Thanksgiving, while everyone was in Texas protesting. I laid on the couch and watched football. It might have looked like I was relaxing, but I was thinking about George Bush, and how he bombed New Orleans. Boy, was I angry."

Cindy Sheehan is a liar and is a hypocrite when she calls Bush one:
http://www.slate.com/id/2124788/sidebar/2124791/
Cindy Sheehan has lied (in not having the courage to stand by what she had so accurately written in the 'Nightline' email about Bill Kristol's PNAC Neocon cabal) and comes across as a hypocrite as a result:

Peace Mom Cindy Sheehan answers your questions about life, love, and the Neo-Con PNAC agenda!
Dear Cindy:
I have been in a relationship with a man for two years, and I am in love with him. But, my question is when I say to him, "I love you—“ There is nothing -- just silence. What is the problem? What should I do? Am I just fooling myself?
The Silence Is Slowly Killing Me, Anchorage, Alaska
Dear Silence:
In order to understand the psyschology of your man, you need to first look at history.
The first American men landed here 200 years ago from Israel, and they were evil, filth-mongering neo-cons, with sharp knives and bad intentions. That’s why they killed the Indians, and the killing has gone on, pretty much 24/7, since then. The question you should be asking yourself is not whether you need the love of your American man, but is he worthy of you? You should find yourself a man who appreciates you, perhaps a Swede, who knows about commitment and love, and who hasn’t been influenced by the PNAC agenda.
Dear Cindy:
My cat just jumped off the couch and collapsed...now she is walking, but slowly. She is only about 8 months old. I'm wondering if she ate one of the weird little bugs around our house. Nothing appears to be wrong with her legs.
Feeble Feline in Fresno
Dear Feeble:
At least your cat can eat. Did you know that most Iraqis have nothing at all to eat? They are trapped in their tee pees, unable to milk their goats or go to the Quick Chek, because American death rains on them from the sky. They would probably be happy to have some of your disease-addled bugs. I hope your cat dies.
Dear Cindy:
I have a quick math question for you: Jerry was 6 years old when his mother was 30. Now she is twice his age. How old is Jerry?
Curious in Copper Springs
Dear Curious:
Jerry is dead, killed in some far away land for oil and a neo-con agenda that only benefits a very chosen few in this world. His mother is grieving and driving an electric car.
(Cindy Sheehan is an anti-war activist who, according to New York Times Maureen Dowd, derives absolute moral authority from the death of her son in Iraq. She is currently on a speaking tour, offering her own eyebrow-raising view of world events. Ms Sheehan adamantly denies that she has used her son’s death for her own fame. For more on her story, see this month’s Vanity Fair, where she lies on her son’s grave in a heartrending photo spread).

Are you the "Moran" or are you the Moron. Dig George lie? or did he just make a mistake. Did he send our son's and daughters to die for a lie, or did he send them to die for a error. If you agree with the "mistake" you are a moron. If you agree to the lie, then you deserve the honor of being the "Moran" of the year. The choice is yours Pot pick what you want to be, show everyone what a hero you are.
Why does my dislike of the ultimate opportunist, Cindy Sheehan, equate with thinking George Bush told the truth? Are you that simple?
I never voted for Bush. Hate the man.
But that does not change the fact that Cindy Sheehan has become a willing, although inarticulate, prop for the extreme left. She seems to be trying to mimic them, but she's embarassingly bad. The picture in Vanity Fair is the latest example of her hijacking her son's death for fame.
She's fading, and it's a good thing.

Abyone that rabid about Cindy Sheehan, in a addition to labeling her as "extreme left" (based on?) is clearly another victim of the right wing media.
Turn off the fake Fox news and the AM nut radio propaganda.

Cindy, you are my hero. You were the only one who had the courage to blame the Jews for all this. And you were the only one to address the issue of the evil occupation of New Orleans.
Lots of people think you are a media loving idiot. Not me, you're my hero!

Cindy Sheehan "Extreme Left?" While I don't really believe that Cindy espouses any of the below quotes, and is only parroting what she's heard in the coffee houses of California, I'll offer these quotes as some evidence of her idiocy.
"We began the killing as soon as we stepped foot on these shores [of America] and the killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years."
"There has always been excuses for wars, but NONE of them have been good or valid."
"Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel."
And, of course, her comment that there is nothing worth dying for in this country.
She's a ninny.

Let's examine each of these quotes that you claim qualifies Cindy Sheehan as "extreme":
"We began the killing as soon as we stepped foot on these shores [of America] and the killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years."
Uh, that one is true. This country was stolen, Native Americans were massacred and the overriding theme was "Manifest Destiny"--a sick idea that white men had a "God" given right to plunder and murder and "civilize" the "savages". Western European colonialism has simply changed to neocolonialism now. More refined, but the same. The U.S. has bombed/attacked many many countries in its' young life. So this statement was, in fact, true--regardless of your opinions re: the nobility of any of these killing missions, they were still killing missions. (here's a list of countries bombed by the U.S.:

"There has always been excuses for wars, but NONE of them have been good or valid."
Try this for an alternative to the popularly taught reasons for U.S. wars/aggression:

"Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel."
I won't address her emotions, and I won't address the Israel part--but I will provide you with a link that undoubtedly shows that Iraq was on the agenda for the neoconservatives long before Bush (the lessor) took office:
remember-this is their site, not some "left-wing extremist" site..
http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm
"And, of course, her comment that there is nothing worth dying for in this country."
That's debatable, but very broad--certainly the Iraq war is not worth dying for--we were lied to. period.
I'd be happy to get you a comprehensive list of this pathetic administration's changing rationale and out and out lies leading up to--and after the war started--let me know.
