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 when she camped outside President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch in August 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 again. 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?"

Someone get a muzzle for this bitch. Stat.

She has a point.. the dems ought to come out against this war.

however, that would require SPINE.

Hilary's famous for not taking a solid position on anything until it becomes the popular view. Sheehan is just driving people away left and right, taking away from the one thing that she wanted to draw attention to in the first place.

She needs to be more constructive, but she's basically a screeching parrot and its irritating.

Bitch don't know how to work the system.

Hate that woman. I hope she goes away.

Grimmlok · October 20th, 2005, 12:18 AM

She won't.. I applaud her tenacity and her displeasure over this illegal and patently false war, but she's just alienating people

Elise · October 20th, 2005, 12:21 AM

I think there are better ways she can go about this--she hates the war, yes, but she is only making people dislike her & her cause.

Hillary or Cindy.

Damn...just can't like either.

Independant JACT

Grimmlok · October 27th, 2005, 12:19 PM

I'll take Hillary over any Repug.

JACT · October 27th, 2005, 12:24 PM

But can she win the election ?

Truly.

While Hillary is an intelligent woman is she really the President we need right now ?

We need someone to end the debacle in Iraq and yet be capable of defending the US in any future global strife.

I, unfortunately, know of no one who can do that.

But Cindy certainly isn't up to the task. Grass Roots movement be damned.

Wait, Cindy for president?lo,

ROFL

I doubt that.. I think the reason she comes off as a little batty half the time, is that this woman isn't a seasoned politician.. she doesn't have speechwriters, behavioral groomers, spindoctors and all the other things that make Bush barely presentable.

She's just her.

AliceInWonderland · October 28th, 2005, 02:02 PM

you kno what of coarse she's batty and scatterbrained and unconstructive!
She's running on pure raw emotion here! The emotional stress and pain of losing her son for no good reason, any mother who's is just a normal citizen not used to Public Relations and Politics would probably be acting the same way, except I applaud her b/c she's standing up and speaking out, unlike all the other mothers, fathers, widows, widowers who suffer in silence. Its just a lose-lose situation right now and the more voices w/ personal experiences that speak against this horrible debacle the better!
-and btw what politician has a son or daughter in the war in Iraq, oh yeah thats right NONE!

cause they know better, this poor woman like so many believed our presidents lies which isn't entirely her fault, but nonetheless no one deserves what she's going through
