The World Newser

This act is wearing thin. It was cute for a while, now she is exactly what the right calls her. OUT OF HER MIND

Gee, do you mean to tell me that little Barbara, is not going to go over to her new neighbor, and new BEST FRIEND, with one of her home made
Apple pies? To Cindy, all the neighbor gossip(watch out for that goat farmer Cin, he will hit upon you) George is not going to ask Cindy to come over and drink a beer(remember the pretzel scandal, it was beer the old man was drinking), and watch the game with him? The twins, are not going to ask their new AUNT CINDY, to take then to the zoo. I am upset , whatever happen to 'LOVE THEY NEIGHBOR", (unless your mines) . George, should mark over to Cindy place right now and give her a BIG HUG". Cindy I am sorry, that I let your son get kill. Will you forget me?

i support your effords 100%as this is a no win war just tell bush to get out bring our troops home now! from a vietnam war vet

It is amazing the right wing is still defending this murderer. Bush is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people and it all happened because of his lies. Yet, they still attack the families that have died because of Bush. Amazing.

Who cares?

Cindy,

Give it a rest already!!! Your 15 minutes are up.

I think it's HILARIOUS that Cindy bought that land...and chased bush from having his nice long quiet vacation interrupted. Kudos for you Cindy and supporters, My ONLY regret is that I can't come down and camp out with you. I admire that you've taken a STAND against that tyrant. And yes..we desperately need a NEW REGIME!! bush has made us PIRIAH'S with every country in the world. Him and his oil buddies...and cheney's haliburton buddies..are making MILLIONS off of our backs........don't believe ANYTHING they tell you...VOTE the republicans out of office..and take back our lives! Oh..is this UNpatriotic will the republican's scold me? EVERYONE needs to speak out before our free speech is gone...as bush and buddies are slowing taking it away and laughing as they do so! He already boughttwo elections....!

I am of the old. The loss of someone in a war has touched most all over the world, it would be nice if we did not have war, but.. Defending our freedom comes with a price, just as I have lost. Myself served in the 101st Airborne as did my son in the Military Intelligence in Bosnia and Afghanistan. I am Proud of what he did. He went to Collage, graduated then wanted to go to the Army so he could continue to help others keep freedom. I too would have felt bad had I lost him, but I believed in him. Sheehan should have known her son wanted the same, but does not want to except what her son wanted to do. She should be Ashamed. She should except what her son wanted and believed in him.

It won't matter, Bush is so shielded in his "Bubble" that he won't even notice. Just like he doesn't notice the daily drumbeat of death and destruction in IRAQ, after all he is the "decider" and when he "decided to invade Iraq" it was to hell with everyone else. Why do you think these guys won't call for a cease fire in Israel? Because the media is focused on that on going conflict and they aren't spreading all the death and destruction in Iraq all over the NEWS. So, for Bush et al it's a win win situation.
Never has this country had such a horrible President and it gets worse daily. I for one would be happy to see this Presdient/Cheney/Rice/Rove/Rummy etal dropped in the middle of Bagdaghad with a pea shooter and and old beat up helmet! Then we could tell them O.k. guys we will pick you up when you have achieved 'VICTORY'. So good for you Cindy, I may not agree with everything you say, but you have a right more then anyone to say it. Give em hell.
Thanks fed up in Idaho, Sue F

Out of her mind to say the least!. Her son knew what he was getting into and I admire him for laying down his life for what He loved....His country. He is a hero..Her actions make her a heel!
The fine folks in and around Crawford have the right to refuse service to anyone. I hope she remembers this when she visits and wants to go for a night out on the town.

When is it cause for laughter when a person stands up for what they believe? Last year the country was not as unified in its denunciation of the war. Could it be that the actions of Cindy Sheehan and others served as a wakeup call for Americans. If only this was a presidential election year. Until it is, Americans will have to cope with Bush's war plans and more mothers will be called on to mourn their sons and daughters. May God help our country and bring peace where now there is none.

GET A LIFE CINDY! YOUR SON KNEW WHAT HE WANTED AND YOU HAVE THE GALL NOW TO GRIPE ABOUT IT!!!!!! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! LET GWB TAKE A BREAK ON HIS VACATION - GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE CINDY AND GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Cindy! But I'm afraid Buchannon is right -- W won't notice. Not unless it somehow affects his personal financial portfolio. To those who claim that Casey Sheehan was "laying down his life for his country" -- that's simply not true. He died fighting a ridiculous war that has nothing to do with our 'freedom' in the U.S. and nothing to do with fighting the war on terrorism.

YOU GO CINDY!! Bush & his administration is the worst in our country's history. It's AMAZING that there are still people who don't see it. Even more amazing are those who think Cindy should just go away. Her son's death, (and those of +2,500), was based on LIES! He thought he was doing what was right but he was lied to by Bush & Co. Yes, he's a hero as are all those who died and have been injured, but they were LIED to! Don't give up Cindy! You have the guts to do what is in your heart!!! KEEP IT UP!!!

We've got a president who took advantage of this country's fears after 911 to attack, bomb, and occupy a sovereign nation which bore zero threat to the security of the United States, incinerating tens of thousands of innocent civilians, yet people still are so married to American military glory that they shrilly attack one forlorn mother instead of adamantly demanding accountability from George W. Bush. Would that we had one politician with the guts of Cindy Sheehan, to stand up and demand, STOP THE KILLING NOW

Actually, J.D., while the fine folks of Crawford may have the right to refuse service, the fine folks I encountered there were polite and rather more welcoming than you appear to be.

Way to go Cindy !

If Bush really believes his own bull, why are his daughters not enlisted in the military? Whay are these two girls not on the front lines in Iraq ready to 'proudly lay down their lives for freedom' ???? All of FDR's sons went to war.

Cindy should stop and be thankful that she can buy land anywhere she pleases. I believe Cindy has lost touch with reality, freedom is not free. We All Have Sacrificed Something For Freedom.

For what noble cause did we go to Iraq?

To the gentleman who served in the 101st airborne (my father was in the 101st as a screaming eagle), please understand the difference between support for our troops, and support for an illegal war. Can you imagine the friends you would still have if Germans who new better had actually risked their lives to stand up to Hitler?

I know Cindy to be a mother who was proud of her son and his service. She, and Casey were not, as I understand it, supportive of the war. Casey was a true soldier and would have gone anywhere his fellow troops needed him.

Sir, as an infantry man, I'm sure you understand this well. It would be wonderful if we had a proper President (Commander In Chief) who understood this simple principle. You never put anyone in harm's way unless you have no other option.

We can all see now, through his handling of the Israeli, Palestinan, Lebanese, North Korean, Iranian, etc. difficulties, just what George Bush thinks passes for diplomacy.

God help us all.

I support Cindy in everything she does to end this war.If the republicans cant see that this war is murder than they should question their own interpretation of war.How does blowing up Iraq keep us from fighting the terrorists here as the terrorists were not from Iraq.The oil pipeline has to go thru Iraq to the gulf.Wake up people and see that this is about the us getting Iraqi oil not about protecting the us

Ms. Sheehan does speak for me and for millions throughout the world. George Bush is afraid to look her in the eye. His lip would tremble because she would see through him. His invasion of Iraq was based on lies. A real man would own up to it. Wake up you misguided people and those of you who are acting so hateful. Peace and love to Cindy Sheehan from Wisconsin.

Like they did when Nixon was forced out of office, a distinguished group of Republican elders should visit Bush at the White House. They should tell him that he has done a great job, but that our country is tired of the great job he is doing. Just relax until the next presidential election. I think the USA would deeply appreciate that.
WMD, before Bush, gas was around $1 a gallon, now that's what I call a tax. Katrina. Iraq. Wiretapping Americans.Ignoring the law. Record deficits. And on and on. How can one man accomplish so much in so little time?

Cindy Sheehan is a great role model for all our young women...teaching that in spite of deepest grief and loss, there is good to come from her loss. Especially glad she enjoys Texas and sees the beauty there. GWB is definitely the worst Commander in Chief in the history of the USA, and I hope that he and his cronies are tossed out soon as two more years of this is way too much!!

To Dan Lewis et al.

Thank you so much for your comments. My husband was an Army Ranger captain in the 101st, LRRP, stationed in the north, around Hue, I believe. (He's sleeping now, so I don't want to wake him up and ask!) Years 1969-70. Purple Heart (booby trap tripped by another), CIB, Bronze Star w/V attachment. AND, his men liked him! Lol. He said he was the only officer in the unit whose men came to visit him in the hospital. He's a Mayflower baby, and his ancestors have fought in every war of the U.S., including 2 generals in the Revolution. His great grandfather was a surgeon in the Union Army, father was a career military officer, 82nd in WWII, wounded in Korea. I have included below an excerpt from a letter my husband wrote to Cindy last September after we attended the antiwar march in Washington, D.C.

Dear Cindy,

...Being in DC this past weekend resurrected many ghosts from my youth and the time I spent in the military serving in another ill-conceived and thoroughly wasteful war: Vietnam. I understand Casey’s insistence to stand and support his buddies, even though he did not believe in the war in Iraq. I too felt as he did over 30 years ago, and a brief visit to “The Wall” restored to me the faces of many dead friends who never returned home to their loved ones. While standing before the engraved names of over 58,000 dead young men and women, I was struck by a stark and definite difference between my war and Casey’s war. In the present conflict, the brave young soldiers living and dead have a voice of true conscience, patriotic righteousness, and Christian charity; and that person is you. I wanted to tell you to your face how much that means to me and to thank you for myself and those of my dead comrades who are unable to do so themselves. When I was Casey’s age nobody spoke for us, the common soldier caught between his conscience and his duty to friends and country. Instead, we were vilified and chastised by the American public. We were spat upon, made to feel guilty for our service and wrongly blamed for the war. Today, people like you, and especially you, have shone the light on the true culprits of illegal and unjust war. It is not the young servants of this country in uniform, but the men and women in the government who misuse them, squander their youth, their innocence and their blood. The words, “Thank you, Cindy” seem woefully inadequate, but they are all I have.

You are truly a most remarkable woman and my respect and love for you and your work grow on a daily basis. Do not let the bigots and spineless politicians of our government deter you from your course, for it is the noble one, and the criminals who have visited this abomination on the world will face justice, if not in this life, certainly in the next. Casey is a blessed young man and lives on through a unique and wonderful mother.

Peace – Your friend and ardent supporter,

S. Parry (former Captain, US Army Rangers - D-1/502 – 101st Airborne Div.)

They are bragging on Austin news about how Cindy can't get the water turned on. Was reported with a wink in the eye. Guess "someone" made a few calls.

Jesus said that the worst place in hell would be reserved for those who led his children astray. W is going to be there one day for lying us into a war and tricking the good simple folk of America into doing evil on behalf of the big dollar interests who bankroll the GOP. Our boys aren't defending our freedom, in fact they are fighting for OPEC, the oil companies, and the oilfield services people, while the GOP curtails our freedom and fools us into thinking they are "saving" us from something. Somewhere there must be a picture of Bush kissing Bin Laden like he kissed those other Saudis.
In America today there is more than one sucker born every minute, and apparently some of the non-suckers are getting dumber every minute. God save us all when the right wingers start murdering Americans like their Coulter-Malkin-O'Reilly-Hannity mouthpieces keep shouting for. Then the middle easterners can watch us on tv and tsk tsk about how we aren't ready for self rule and never will be, because of our savage beliefs and Mammon worshipping ways.

When the Republicans finally lose power, and protection from oversight and prosecution, I will be delighted to see Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Rice and others officially charged with crimes against humanity and murder.

An appropriate sentence for them could well be the stripping of each of their US citizenships and their relocation to Iraq so that they might be able to live with the people that they have 'liberated'....... I can just see the 'flowers being thrown in the streets in front of them' as the Iraqis welcome them !

Cindy..... Thank you.

This bunch of murdering thugs will only be stopped by one person resisting at a time. I'm horrified by what these people have done to my country and to the world.

My time spent camping in Crawford last year was the most spiritually uplifting experience of my life. I drove from upstate N.Y. to connect, and you should make the pilgramage if you want a jolt of positive energy. It will be the best vacation you ever took.

George W. has done nothing but run this country into the ground, and you are going to buy land and house next to his?

I think what you have done is great, but really now George W. doesn't care, he enjoys the conflicts of the war, he said so himself, he is a war President.

Maybe Cindy should try to deliever a " Home made Apple pie' to Bush. As far as sending him to Iraq, that wouldn't work Midland would still be without their " National village idiot" you would see him on your milk carton as missing. I sometimes feel sorry for Bush he is just a Pawn for Cheney and his henchmen. They have turned this country into a police state.

No wonder Bush is only staying at Crawford for 2 weeks this year - Cindy's got a place just down the road from him now. Maybe if Cindy stays there longer and more often during the year, Bush won't fly to Crawford every week (which costs all of us taxpayers, at last count 4 years ago, about $35,000 per hour for each flight)

David comments that freedom is not free, but which part of "operation Iraq freedom" means protecting American freedom? Shouldn't we be a bit more concerned with that bug up out butt bin Laden? Why aren't we?

Noble idea, there, but how about a plan, eh?

Having lost a son back in 1971 and knowing what it feels like still; Anybody who wants to diss Cindy for doing the American thing and speaking her mind is more than welcome to meet me anytime to "discuss" the problem. I'm getting really tired of the rectal orifices in this country trying to make those of us who saw and continue to see through the lies and deceit of bush and company shut our mouth.

To Capt. S. Parry, 101st Airborne, Ret.: Thank you sir for your service to our country. Wish you had been my C.O.

I admire your courage and tenacity in keeping up the pressure on Bush and moving in next to his ranch is inspired.Here in the U.K. there is a lot of anti-war feeling and Georgie and his pal Tony Blair are held in very low esteem by very many people here.
Some of the comments on your blog seem to think that these poor boys who go out to get killed in Iraq & Afghanistan are laying down their lives for their country. Not so. They are dying so that the United States can throw its weight about in the world and tell other countries how they should be run and unfortunately the U.K. follows along in this.
And of course, the industrial/military complex can make lots of money from their weapons sales and businessmen make money from rebuilding the places they have destroyed. This is theworld we have created.
Keep on protesting.

Has anyone ever wondered why Bush bought 1600 acres in Crawford, Texas?? Look up NUCLEAR RADIATION SITES. In ALL of America, there is only an area left in Texas that is not saturated with NUCLEAR RADIATION. That's right---the area around Crawford,Texas. Look it up on your computers. Cindy, you hang on to that property------FOREVER!!!!!! Build a home up on stilts. Dig a well. It will be the only unpolluted water besides what Bush drinks---and your neighbors. I would be with you now, but I just had surgery. Your son would be proud you out foxed the fox. I really admire you. Wish I could buy land there for retiring Lesbians. Clean land and well water. Maybe I can afford a small lot for a house . See you in the last clean land in AMERICA!!!!! SINCERELY----LYNN SOUTHER

I think you are great! Keep all public servants accountable even though some are so dumb and don't know how to count.Since King Geoge has been in office, He has'nt helpsd me. The high cost of gas,job layoffs,terror scare tactics, immigration worries and send poor kids to war because thats their only to higher college education!It should be no Reblican left behind. They get all the perks on our tax dollars! It is easier to fundraise than solve issuses at home

Give em hell, Cindy. George Bush isn't running this country, the neo-conservatives are. Our finest are dying in Iraq in for nothing. We are not fighting over there for our freedom, nor their freedom. It will just be a regime change. I'm tired of hearing it's better to fight them over there than over here. That's pretty bad when we want to see innocent Iraqis die, to protect our skin. I guess it's all about "us" after all, according to the idiots who are now running this country.

CINDY,YOUR SON WAS DOING WHAT HE WANTED TO DO AND HE KNEW THE RISK!!
I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE RIGHT ROAD BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING THIS FOR ATTENTION FOR YOURSELF!!!
I THINK THAT YOU NEED TO SEEK THERAPY AND SOON!!
I AM REALLY ASHAMED TO SHARE THIS COUNTRY WITH YOU AND HOW PROUD WOULD YOUR SON BE OF YOUR BEHAVIOR?HE PROBABLY WOULD SAY I REALLY HE WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU OR THE OTHER NITWIT'S YOU HANG WITH!!
PLEASE GET HELP FOR YOURSELF ASAP BECAUSE ANYONE WHO ACT'S LIKE YOU DO,IS ONLY SEEKING ATTENTION FOR THENSELVES.YOU ARE SO SELF ABSORBED!!
