Cindy Sheehan

Cindy Sheehan, the so-called "peace mom" on a crusade to end U.S. involvement
in the Iraq war, is publicly blasting Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., for her
continued support of the ongoing conflict.

"I think she is a political animal who believes she has to be a war hawk to
keep up with the big boys," Sheehan writes in an open letter posted on
anti-Bush filmmaker Michael Moore's website. "I would love to support Hillary
for president if she would come out against the travesty in Iraq. But I don't
think she can speak out against the occupation, because she supports it. I will
not make the mistake of supporting another pro-war Democrat for president
again: As I won't support a pro-war Republican."

"I believe that the intelligent thing for Democrats to do for 2006 and 2008
would be to come out strongly and correctly against the botched, bungled,
illegal, and immoral occupation of Iraq," Sheehan added.

The California woman, whose son Casey was killed fighting insurgents in Iraq,
launched an anti-war movement in August when she camped outside President
Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch and demanded to meet with the commander in chief,
drawing national media attention.

She was granted a meeting with Sen. Clinton to discuss the war effort, but says
the Democrat "apparently" didn't listen, as the senator told a reporter for the
Village Voice, "My bottom line is that I don't want their sons to die in vain.
... I don't believe it's smart to set a date for withdrawal. ... I don't think
it's the right time to withdraw."

"That sounds like Rush Limbaugh to me," Sheehan said. "That doesn't sound like
an opposition party leader speaking to me. What Sen. Clinton said after our
meeting sounds exactly like the Republican Party talking points I heard from
Senators Dole and McCain."

There's trouble in paradise out there on the far left extreme which has become
the Democrat base," Limbaugh responded today on his national radio program.

"You don't do this, folks. You don't publicly as a Democrat disavow a Clinton
and live to do it  well, you just don't do it again and again without something
happening. So she's one gutsy lady or stupid, one of the two. But something's
going to happen to this woman. Something's going to silence her."

On a political messageboard online, one writer notes, "Who would have thought
that Hillary's candidacy could be in trouble because she's not far enough to
the left?"
