| Dead Marine's Mom Protests at Bush Ranch |
| 2005-08-07 |
| CRAWFORD, Texas — The mother of a fallen U.S. soldier who is holding a roadside peace vigil near President Bush's ranch shares the same grief as relatives mourning the deaths of Ohio Marines, yet their views about the war differ. "I'm angry. I want the troops home," Cindy Sheehan, 48, of Vacaville, Calif., who staged a protest that she vowed on Sunday to continue until she can personally ask Bush: "Why did you kill my son? What did my son die for?" |

| #8 Now Drudge is reading from an interview from right after the meeting with the Prez June 24, 2004, where she said Bush was sincere, and sympathetic, and "a man of faith". Which is it you old witch? |

| #7 That nutty old broad needs to take her Paxil, and shut up. It is delusional to say that the Prez was "jovial" when he had a private meeting with family who sufferd service deaths. Drudge just played a recording of the old burka-envious b***h talking on the Clinton News Network ranting bullshit about how Bush misbehaved. I hope some of the other families come forward, and call her on her lies. |

| #6 Vacaville is a stones throw from Berkley and all the other polution that infects our country. I wonder ehy they (MSM) bother giving her ink knowing that Bush will never answer her idiotic question. Never mind I answered my own question. |

| #4 Think he signed up in part as a way to show her that she was a total assclown? I have a feeling this pinhead woman was like this before his tragic death. A death thats tragic because he was the kind of person that make this counrty great and we need him yet. Totally unlike his mother who is a person we can do without. |

| #3 She's a PROFESSIONAL asshat. You're surprised? I'm not. I only wonder where such men as her son come from and what they will have to say at the time of their eternal reunion. |

| #2 FYI: She's a PROFESSIONAL asshat. Sheehan was among grieving military families who met with Bush in June 2004 at Fort Lewis, near Seattle, Wash. That was just two months after her son, Casey, was killed in Sadr City, Iraq, on April 4, 2004... Sheehan, who formed a group called Gold Star Families For Peace ... has spoken out against the war across the nation She's been wallowing in her son's blood to make political points for over a year. DESPICABLE! I wish I could go down there and confront her and maybe wise her up to how slimy her act is. Lady, I buried 2 teenaged kids last year that I have known since they were cub scouts. They were fantasic young men - the sort that this nation need in the future to lead it. But their lives were cut short doing what they signed up to do: fighting in war as a US Marine, for the nation. I do not dishonor them by trying to make political ahy off their deaths. Wars mean people die. You need to f**king grow up and realize that the world is a dangerous place, and its not a fair place. Peopel who do not deserve to die, do die in a war. Ask the families of flight 83 or the Twin Towers people. Ask any servicemember. Death in war is a fact, and thats one of the things EVERYONE that volunteers to serve has in mind: that your life might be taken for a greater cause. The unfortunate aspect of this particular war is the best ones like your son are out there while dregs like you and your liberal friends try to drag the nation down behind them. I felt immense sorrow when I heard of each of those young Marines I knew had died. I cried. One of them was a kid who my son looked up to, and whom we went scouting and camping with. It still hurts today. But rather than lash out at people and dishonoring their memory, I simply pray for the rest of their souls, and do everything I can to try to win this thing, so there will be no need for us to be over there any longer - and a free and open Iraq is a very important achevement in changing the socities of Islam that produced the terrorists who started this war on us back on 9/11 and before. Your actions guarantee more death, more destruction, and a cowardly & craven retreat from the world that will draw islamo-fascism inside our borders again and produce more 9/11's - or worse yet, the grind that ISrael faces with bombs and gunmen in all corners of their nation. You need to wake the hell up, look at the world as it is, be proud of your Marine who was doing what he signed up to do when he died, and look more how to solve things by truly supporting the troops instead of rolling in your dead son's blood to make a political show. You're merely another whiney assed member of the "Me" generation - spoiled brat, you're only concerned with your politics and how things affect you (as evidenced by your quote that Bush "ruined your life"). You need to sit down, shut up, learn that the world is not fair and that life sometimes is a big shit sandwich, and finally grow up. You're 48, you have no excuses left. |

| #1 What an ASSHAT! Lady, Bush didn't kill your son, a terrorist did. You had best stop wallowing in his blood to make political points if you care a dman thing about what your son the Marine sood for and went over there for. As for why he went there - Go look at Cherenkovs site. Plus, he was a Marine, and fighting is what Marines do when the US is at war. People like this need to be slapped back into reality. |
