I’ve stayed as far away from the coverage of the media-created Cindy Sheehan firestorm as I can over the past few days. The woman is obviously distraught over the death of her son, but she’s turning it into a political crusade that is becoming absurd and offensive. Now, comes this story on the Drudge Report with some statements Mrs. Sheehan has made in the past about the war in Iraq.
A sampling:
“We are not waging a war on terror in this country. We?re waging a war of terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush!”
“If George Bush believes his rhetoric and his bullshit, that this is a war for freedom and democracy, that he is spreading freedom and democracy, does he think every person he kills makes Iraq more free?”
“The whole world is damaged. Our humanity is damaged. If he thinks that it?s so important for Iraq to have a U.S.-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he needs to sign up his two little party-animal girls. They need to go to this war.”
“We want our country back and, if we have to impeach everybody from George Bush down to the person who picks up dog shit in Washington, we will impeach all those people.”
The woman is clearly a loon with a radical agenda. Yes, its sad that her son died, but something tells me he wouldn’t be pleased with what his mother is doing right now.
