Cindy Sheehan

Sheehan was hospitalized after not eating for a month. They should let that woman die. She enjoys making a mockery of her son's sacrifice.

You are an idiot.

 

And by letting her die that would honor her son's sacrifice?

 

You want her dead because she has a different opinion than you? So, to get her to agree with you, what else will you do? Send her to Guantanamo to have electric probes shoved up her ass?

 

ummmm, shes killing herself. natural selection maybe?

 

natural selection maybe?

Have you ever personally been present when a mother is given the news that her son was killed in a war? No, of course not, that's really obvious. You also seem completely ignorant of the meaning of "natural selection." I could be wrong: maybe you're just sarcastically imitating the sort of idiots that we hear endlessly in the mainstream media.

Personally, I agree that hunger strikes are generally a bad move. It only makes you weaker and less able to face your opponents effectively. But mental problems happen to a lot of people after they lose a family member.

I wouldn't say an unkind word to her or anyone else who lost a friend or family member in a war, no matter what their political views. I don't understand the sorts of people whose hatred of American values is so extreme that they take joy in the death of an American soldier, and laugh at the grieving family.

 

cindy sheehan makes speeches and hold rallies and what not, i highly doubt she has serious mental problems. and if she does have mental problems, what does that say about her supporters? shouldnt they be getting her professional help instead of encouraging her? Her son died a few years ago, its time she get over it. It is obvious she was against the war long before her son died in it. Nobody forced her son to go there, usually when you sign up for the military you have a pretty good idea of what will happen if and when there is war.

how am i laughing at the grieving family? her own family thinks she is nuts and disgracing her sons name. she is just pissed off her 15 mins of fame is over and her chance to 'bring world peace' has been thwarted because she is using her sons death as a vehicle for her political agenda. if she wants to kill herself, either let her do it or send her to the mental hospital.

oh and by the way, two of my good friends are fighting in iraq currently. i have known of families in my neighborhood who have lost loved ones in the war. one of my friends from high school just died last year. i have the utmost compassion and respect for the families and their loved ones, but they also didnt fly off the handle and stake out president bush's house for a month, they just accepted the news and tried to honor their child in different ways.

 

Im all for letting cindy sheehan die. I heard she moved into a home near bushs ranch in texas too. What a freak heh?

 

I don't know why anyone cares about this woman.

Yes, I understand one of her sons died...but have any of you people on her bandwagon forgotten that she basically abandoned the rest of her family in this, fairly fruitless, pursuit of Bush.

Her son had a father and siblings..do they not matter?

This woman is not right in the head. There were thousands and thousands of wives and mothers during WW2 that lost multiple sons and husbands...yet they grieved and then moved on with their lives. They didn't ignore their families like Cindy did.

She isn't the only woman who lost a child in this terrible war but she is the only one making a total fool of herself.

 

i think the whole starvation thing was a bit much and there are other ways to protest or get your point across without hurting yourself. i do respect what she has been doing. it seems everyone has mixed views about her but i met her and she truely is a good person.

 

thank god for the hippy nazis of hippyland to finally tell it like it is.
why not send cindy to iraq ?
maybe we can send all the warmongers over to iraq too.

 

For the people who think Americans don't have a constitutional right AND OBLIGATION to protest an obviously out-of-control obviously moronic president, might I suggest you move to a country that has a totalitarian form of gov't--myanmar for example. They don't allow dissert over there--you'd love it.

I support Cindy 100%.

 

I support her also, and sorrow for her loss.

 

for your average hippy nazi and warmonger the choice is clear
it is better to be at the side of the devil than in his path.

 

"...if she does have mental problems, what does that
say about her supporters? shouldnt they be getting her
professional help instead of encouraging her?"

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that a great many
of her supporters have tried to convince her to deal
with it in other ways, and to just let go of this
issue for her own good. Maybe she cares more about
her country than her own well-being.

"two of my good friends are fighting in iraq currently"

Well, maybe they're not such good friends, or maybe
you'd be over there helping out. Many soldiers are
being sent back over to Iraq specifically because
there aren't enough volunteers, and our president
isn't man enough to admit that his mistake. Your
friends will probably be sent back simply because
you'd rather have them serving in your place. Remember
that if you attend a funeral for one of them, and
don't forget to apologize to your buddy's mom for
not being there for him when he needed you.

"I don't know why anyone cares about this woman."

She's a human being, for one thing, and if that's
not good enough, I might even argue that she's an
American. My wife's brother served for 20 years
in this country and overseas. He saw riots and
gunfire and saw friends die in car bombings.
When it came time for him to retire, he was kept
in for another couple of years. He also has all
sorts of medical problems, and guess what?
John Q. Public really, truly does not give a
goddamn about his well-being. All this conservative
talk about "supporting the troops" is nothing but
piles of complete bullshit. It's nothing more than
a decoration for the gas guzzler.

GodDAMN I hate conservatives.

"She isn't the only woman who lost a child in this
terrible war but she is the only one making a total
fool of herself."

She's not acting strangely at all, based on what
I've seen of a mother who lost her kid in a war.
What offends people about CS is that she's not hiding
her feeling of outrage, and isn't waving a flag at a
Bush Rally like a good little obedient "bitch." But
she's not acted out to the extreme that we've seen
in plenty of other cases, Alex Arredondo's father
for instance.

I'm really offended by these jackasses who were
perfectly okay with sending kids overseas to die-
while refusing to put their own asses on the line-
and then turn around and argue that Sheehan should
shut up and not speaking in praise of Bush and KBR.

 

the funny part is that cindy sheehan and her supporters actually think she is making a difference. don't you see that the rest of america thinks she is foolish? her own family abandoned her because she is nuts. she camped outside the presidents house for a month or whatever to meet with him, but the fact was she already met him!


and for the person who asked why i am not serving in iraq, it is because i fight with my brain and not my hands. i am three semesters away from an undergraduate degree in international relations, and will most likely graduate with honors. after that im going to grad school for a masters in conflict resolution. i am pretty sure im getting an internship translating french/italian legal documents this year as well. i think i would be more valuable in other places besides on the ground

 

who said it was ok? i just think that cindy sheehan is probably the least qualified person to "bring the troops home." she has no idea how complicated this situation is, but she thinks that by starving herself she can just fix the situation. what an idiot. she just makes americans look bad.

your logic seems flawed, because one does not like cindy sheehan, that means that they should be fighting in iraq??

 

probably because your on welfare.

 

I also support her in my opinion she is doing the right thing....

 

I wonder if Casey Sheehan gota headstone for this grave yet ?
