Cindy Sheehan 

Memo to Drudge, et al: It's Not About Me, It's About the War

Even after my repeated attempts to keep the focus of my protest on the 
war, the Drudge Report and others continue to try to make the issue 
about me. But I am not the issue. The issue is a disastrous war that's 
killing our sons and daughters and making our country less secure. They 
attack me because they can no longer defend this war. 

I've come to Crawford to bring to the president's doorstep the harsh 
realities of a war he's been trying so hard to avoid. But no matter what 
they say or how many shotguns they fire or how many crosses they 
destroy, they're not going to stop me from speaking out about a war that 
needlessly killed my son.

The Vacaville vigil was peaceful last night. The permit was for 40, but 
about 100 showed up. We got *lots* more honks and waves than the 
"Americans" down the street, in front of Pacific Hardware. A guy with a 
saxophone played, more or less constantly, "Imagine", "Somewhere Over 
the Rainbow", and others. Even one police car made one of their noises 
as he drove by.

Just ignore them, Cindy. They are making fools of themselves attacking 
you like that. 

Thousands stood vigil with you last night all across the country (myself 
included). They can't stop this wave no matter how hard they try.

Thank you for your courage.

Ms. Sheehan: Could you please give your rationale for naming President 
Bush "the world's biggest terrorist" while ignoring bin Laden, Zarqawi, 
etc?

Posted by: unclebubba on August 18, 2005 at 03:03PM

Bah, don't give that attention-whoring rumor factory asswipe any free 
publicity. I'm sure within minutes he'll be updating his story to tell 
everyone that you mentioned him by name.

Posted by: tonyc on August 18, 2005 at 03:16PM

I'm sure you would like to focus attention elsewhere, Cindy. But when 
you say in public that we are fighting a nuclear war in Iraq and that 
the county is contaminated, people may question the validity of other 
things you say. It's human nature, don't blame it on Drudge.

Posted by: K on August 18, 2005 at 03:21PM

Stay strong. These clowns in power and their supporters have revealed 
once again their true colors. No argument so smear and destroy.

Posted by: Chris on August 18, 2005 at 03:21PM

Cindy,

I am 100 percent behind you! I think that the very least Bushie baby 
owes you is a face to face meeting. Everyone I know says "well, he 
already met with her." While this may be true, this was before the whole 
world discovered what a liar he and his administration is! Some people 
want to say "well her son knew what he was getting into when he signed 
up" This is also true, however, had he known the truth that we know now, 
would he have? If you had known the truth prior to his enlistment, 
wouldn't you have tried to talk him out of it maybe a little bit harder?

My dad was a career military person (AF). I give him my utmost respect. 
However, because of Bushie Baby and his lies, I opted to withhold any 
information my child's school has on him from any and all military 
recruiters. I wish and hope you might encourage others to do the same! 

God Bless You, Cindy!

Posted by: Kimberhaze on August 18, 2005 at 03:23PM

He's every bit as entitled to comment about you as you are about the 
war. The loss of your son, while tragic, does not make you an authority 
on anything.

Think what a terrible world we would live in if it was actually the case 
that no person of conscience could support bloody war.

Posted by: bobtastic on August 18, 2005 at 03:39PM

Thank you.


Posted by: mdhatter on August 18, 2005 at 03:43PM

Isn't this what our elected officials should be doing...acting like you? 
Standing up for us? And not giving up, speaking truth to power? Uh-huh. 
That's what I thought. Meantime, you represent me and thousands of 
others who have no voice.

Posted by: GottaLaff on August 18, 2005 at 03:54PM

You're a juggernaut of righteousness Cindy. Anything Drudge, O'Rielly, 
Michelle Malkin, Fred Barnes, or that spineless pastry of a man from 
Vanity Fair Christopher Hitchens say only exposes them more and more as 
what they are. Blind, vile, twisters of reality perpetuating the will of 
King W. Bush for their own ideological and entrenched notions that 
**they're** fighting a just war. Perpetuation, and perpetuation of this 
LIE that is Iraq. Oh the citizenry of idiots who voted for his man. How 
could they be so blind and simple, wearing the sacrifice of our troops 
on their sleeves only to project their own pride in nationality. Let the 
little piggies roll around in the dirt. Castles made of sand fall to the 
sea, eventually. 

Posted by: Rendon76 on August 18, 2005 at 03:58PM

The more lies these right-wing clowns like Drudge and Rush disseminate, 
the more hollow and desperate they sound. The majority of Americans know 
what you stand for and agree with you. Don't give up! 

Posted by: Dana V. Hatch on August 18, 2005 at 03:59PM

I was one of hundreds who stood in the gathering darkness of Claremont, 
California downtown park and demonstrated our solidarity with the 
parents of military sons and daughters lost in Iraq. This is just the 
beginning. I promise.

Posted by: Kit wilson on August 18, 2005 at 04:12PM

Exactly right, Cindy. No one can stop you! It is about the war, but as 
far as you're concerned, your work is helping expose the right, which is 
in crisis mode over this.

Keep up the fight Cindy. Disregard the hyenas of the Right. The "Sludge" 
Report isn't worth even replying to. All of the Right Wing bloggers are 
chickenshit hawks with no credibility, integrity or morality. You are 
rapidly becoming the conscience of a disinterested, uninvolved 
narcopleptic nation. Maybe you will wake up the rest of the Van Winkles.

their shit. bawahahahahahaha.

Posted by: lloyd on August 18, 2005 at 04:35PM

The right wing is pathetic in its attempt to make a grieving mother out 
to be a media gadfly and unpatriotic because they can no longer sensibly 
defend this war. s ome people know, patriotism s the last refuge of 
scoundrels. And, at the very least, these right wingers are no doubt 
scoundrels.

Posted by: Ryan on August 18, 2005 at 04:37PM

The right-wing is secretly celebrating Cindy Sheehan. 

The right-wing spin machine is happy because as long as the Cindy 
Sheehan issue can be framed as a grieving mother who misguidedly wants 
the US to "pull out now" aka "cut and run" (which just isn’t going to 
happen any time soon)., then she can actually be worked in the media as 
a distraction from the more damaging issues such as Downing Street memo 
and the Karl Rove scandal. 

Ironically, the whole validity to Cindy Sheehan’s protest is that it is 
these more damaging issues came to light only after her first brief with 
the president. Ironically, these same more damaging issues are directly 
related an emerging pattern of deception the Bush Administration used 
(and continues to use) to mislead the American people into an immoral, 
if not illegal, war.

The Right is going to remain happy as long as the right-wing media echo 
chamber can continue to get away with mischaracterizing Cindy’s demands 
as mere “cut and runö and thereby discounted as weak leftist peaceniks 
who just can’t handle the harsh realities of this allegedly “honorableö 
war on terrorism.

And they are getting away with it. Yesterday’s HARDBALL, spent over 20 
full minutes on the Cindy Sheehan matter with out a single reference to 
her concern about the evidence of deceptions, but “cut and runö was 
repeated multiple times, as was the fact that she has already had her 
chance to meet with the president, along with a lot of discussion about 
how she’s been turned into a partisan political tool.

We all need to push the real issue: Cindy wants to answers from the 
president about evidence of mass deception that has come to light since 
her first brief encounter with him. 

People, we have to focus on the deceptions. "Casey died for a lie" will 
be a much more effective way to get our children home sooner than, 
"Bring our children home" which can and is being dismissed as poor 
mothers (and fringe peaceniks) who can't take the grief of the realities 
of war.

Dear Cindy - Drudge, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, etc can attack you and lie 
about you all they want. It's to no avail. Your courage has awakened our 
nation's conscience and the paradigm shift we are seeing against the 
policies of Bush and his Neo-Cons is only going to grow stronger. You 
stand in the Truth and there is nothing your atackers can do about that 
except to lie, lie, lie. Just as Bush himself did to get us into Iraq in 
violation of all this nation originally stood for. God bless and sustain 
you for being the "voice in the wilderness" that is now being heard 
around the world!

Many Blessings, Larry

Posted by: Larry on August 18, 2005 at 04:45PM

Thank you, Cindy, for galvanizing all of the people across the country 
that truly WANTED to get into Bushes' "staged" town hall meetings to ask 
the questions similar to what you want to ask but were prevented from 
doing so by his 'goon' squad....(Before the Election!!!)
As for Drudge... He and Fox News are just a bad joke!!!!
Good Luck!!!
Paul

"Ms. Sheehan: Could you please give your rationale for naming President 
Bush "the world's biggest terrorist" while ignoring bin Laden, Zarqawi, 
etc?"

Let me take a crack at this one Ms. Sheehan. You see, this 
administration lied to get us into the war. That's L-I-E-D. We have 
killed far more Iraqis that Bin Ladin has killed Americans. Thus, he's 
#1!




Posted by: fieldhippy on August 18, 2005 at 04:49PM

Keep it real cindy...drudge just started his website to impress chicks 
(clearly no man that has a real life sexual partner is going to spend 
that much time alone with the internet...the internet is lonesome town). 
His apparent frustration with you would seem to indicate to me that his 
plan failed...don't back down...all of our democratic leaders back 
down...they are politicians...you are not...keep doing what you feel is 
right and you will win...your son would be proud of your sacrifice...as 
an extremely cynical person there is not much that makes me feel good 
about America in 2K5...however, your mission is one of the first rays of 
hope that I have seen for America in the past three years...we need 
you...america needs you...and most importantly, the world needs 
you...let the right-wing hacks attack you...you've got more and more 
friends everyday...bush, on the other hand, is like a kid with pink eye 
on the play ground...untouchable...

Cindy - keep up the good work. We true republicans are sickened about 
what gwb has done to our country, our world, and my party

Posted by: dan quayle on August 18, 2005 at 04:51PM


Keep it up Cindy. We are fighting a nuclear war in Iraq every time we 
shoot a Depleted Uranium round. We contaminate our own boys and ruin any 
chance of a healthy Iraq. Bush is a liar and we need to stand against 
him at all costs. 

Posted by: Joshua Hughes on August 18, 2005 at 04:52PM

Cindy, the more they try to smear you, the more they lose ground. 
America is finally waking up to the Bushflop!

Posted by: Oldtyler on August 18, 2005 at 04:57PM

Cindy, quick question - why did your son re-enlist in the military, and 
volunteer for combat? Why could you not stop him from enlisting TWICE? 
What could possibly have motivated him to do that? What did he tell you 
about the war when you spoke with him? Was he against the entire 
establishment as well? Doesn't sound like it.

Posted by: Robert on August 18, 2005 at 04:59PM

You are one of my heros,Miss Cindy. I admire you for your strength. 
Thank you for having the courage to stand up to this mad man. May we 
live to see the lot of them behind bars! If you ever find yourself in 
Anderson SC, PLEASE drop by.

Fabulously worded, totally unslanted piece from the UK on the whole 
Cindy Sheehan story.

I speak for many others in congratulating your courage and conviction. 
It's hard to be an instant celebrity, especially if you don't want to be 
one. You're being attacked by seasoned professionals who don't give a 
rat's ass about anything but being on TV.


------------
Cindy, you are starting a worldwide phenomenon here. America is not the 
only country grieving the loss of their beloved children.


I'm sure you've been told this, but YOU are the face of what this 
country needs. Hell, huge anti-war groups have hitched themselves on 
you, because they couldn't have thought of such a simple answer to such 
an insidious administration.


We in Portland OR, and around the world, love you and wish you well. We 
also are supporting you because you have already done the hard work for 
all of us. ---------Let us whom you've inspired help you from this point 
on.

The Santa Monica, Ca Vigil on Ocean Avenue was great. Strangely our 
staging area was in front of the old, well known statue of St. Monica, 
with her hands in a praying position.

Posted by: devin on August 18, 2005 at 05:08PM

I thought is was about talking to the President?

Posted by: Confused on August 18, 2005 at 05:09PM

While I don't think it's a good idea to withdraw now. I am glad you are 
doing this-just 'stick it' to the right wing media and the Bush 
administration make they very very uncomfortable as hell.
They went to war with a really bad plan based on 'doctored' intelligence 
and this is the result-they deserve all the protesting against the war.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!

Posted by: Jay Scott on August 18, 2005 at 05:09PM

Unclebubba,

I think that George is the one who has forgotten about Osama and 
Zarqawi. Besides are they not in Afghanistan and not Iraq? Um??...

Posted by: brian from houston on August 18, 2005 at 05:11PM

We had a great turnout last night, 250 to 300, in John Ashcroft's 
hometown, and I was proud to attend. Your strength is remarkable, Cindy, 
and I know you make Casey proud. 

You have many, many people on your side. Ignore the right-wing smear 
tactics. They are running scared, or they wouldn't be spending all of 
their energy on trying to tear you down. Our state showed a 38% overall 
approval rating for Bush this week. A state that went for him by almost 
5 points. 

Stay strong, and stay safe. 

Posted by: charmaine on August 18, 2005 at 05:13PM

Thank you, Cindy and others who are speaking up. I'm so sorry for the 
loss of your son and I appreciate all you're doing to try to prevent 
more mothers from losing their children. My heart is with you.

Posted by: Kim on August 18, 2005 at 05:16PM

When Sheehan talks about "nuclear," I presume she is referring to the 
contamination from the depleted uranium that we have unleashed 
throughout Afghanistan and Iraq and, literally, around the world. As a 
reporter who has covered this topic since Gulf War 1, I am here to tell 
you that this will be the true legacy of the war on Iraq--not that we 
launched an unprovoked and illegal war, not that we were led down the 
river by a misguided leader and his cohorts, not that it made the world 
less safe...but that we contaminated for billions of years to come the 
soil, the water, the air. THAT IS THE STORY THAT WILL OUTLAST US ALL.
