Who's Producing the Cindy Sheehan Show?
A post by Saint Cindy at Michael Moore's website should give some idea who's behind the scenes pulling strings at the Cindy Sheehan Show. Via the New York Sun, Sheehan writes:
We have such a strong coalition of groups. GSFP, Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out and the Crawford Peace House. I talked with John Conyers today and he wrote a letter to George signed by about 18 other Congress members to request that he meet with me. I also talked to Maxine Waters tonight and she is probably going to be here tomorrow.
A more vociferous bevy of leftist kooks would be hard to imagine. About the only names she forgot to drop were George Soros and Kim Jong-Il.
GSFP stands for Gold Star Families for Peace. On their website you can read that the whole circus being performed in Crawford is in response to the following "asinine and hurtful statements" attributed to President Bush:
We have to honor the sacrifices of the fallen by completing the mission.
The families of the fallen can be assured that they died for a noble cause.
Code Pink's treasonous activities have been discussed here and here. Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, and Military Families Speak Out are all represented (as is the Communist Party USA) on the steering committee of United for Peace and Justice. To get an idea of the mentality of their following, the Sun polled protesters at a march they organized during the 2004 Republican Convention. Of the 253 surveyed, 67% agreed with the statement, "Iraqi attacks on American troops occupying Iraq are legitimate resistance."
For more on the Israel-hating Crawford Peace House, which managed to blame Israel even for the Abu Ghraib fiasco, see Solomonia.
John Conyers and Maxine Waters will be well known to connoisseurs of moonbattery.
A colleague Sheehan forgot to mention is Lynne Stewart, who is now rotting in jail for actively assisting Islamic terrorists to carry out their murderous activities. When San Francisco State University burnished its leftist credentials by inviting Stewart to speak on their campus (see FrontPageMag.com), Sheehan was on hand to compare Stewart with the heroic lawyer in "To Kill a Mockingbird." Sheehan took the opportunity to impart the following message to the SFSU students:
This country is not worth dying for.
To sum up, the rats scurrying around behind Sheehan's stage in Crawford aren't just the Left — they are the hard Left. It would not be an exaggeration to suggest that a majority of them would side with the terrorists who killed her son against the country he died for. By associating with these people, she is spitting on his grave.
Sheehan is being used like a $5 whore by this lowlife, but I don't hear her complaining. In fact, she seems to be having the time of her life marching to the front of every line with her gold-star ticket.
Thanks to V the K and Cao for links.

Guilt by association, huh?
No one's pulling her strings. She organized one of the groups involved.
Have you seen any pictures of the people there? Lots of middle American farmers and housewives. Not the same crowd you see at the Word Bank protests.
Oh, and what about the "patriotic" conservative who swerved into the site the other night, running down American flags and white crosses bearing the names of Americans who gave their lives in Iraq?
"Love the war, hate the warrior," -- the Bush administration battle cry.

I've been following this whole thing from Canada, where it's making a lot of news. If you judge Cindy by what she says, she's clearly not all there... she seems almost unhinged. What's disgusting is that the Moonbats are willing to use her, sacrifice her, to get press. This is no more than typical Moonbat Guano.

Well, it's combination of a bored, anti-Bush media coupled with a narcissistic moonbat's willingness to hump her son's corpse to get her fifteen minutes of fame. So, yeah, guano, just piled somewhat higher than usual.
The media did their best to keep her moonbat, tinfoil hat ravings ("This country is not worth dying for") away from the dumber portion of the population. (i.e. Today show viewers), but it's getting harder for even them to hide the fact that the womanis a deranged nutjob.

Anyone remember the old "Pretzels for Bush" campaign organized by a French website some years ago? I think, in light or Comrade Cindy's recent comments regarding Israel (and she has Klansman David Duke's support, of all things! See www.davidduke.org...you'll have to scroll down a bit to find it, if you can stomach it...)), someone should organize a "Burqas for Cindy" campaign.
