NEWS: Cindy Sheehan is the New Jason Voorhees

POLITICS: Cindy Sheehan is the New Jason Voorhees

Cindy Sheehan will not go away. Just when you think she has disappeared into the night, back she comes, more terrifying than ever. In May, Sheehan "retired," from her "job." She put “Camp Casey” up for sale, said goodbye to her uterus and returned home.

Americans breathed a sigh of relief. So did everyone on Earth. As well as horses. And birds and small rodents, dogs, gorillas, cats, clams, orchids, vampires, sand, robots, Volkswagons, copper wiring, shoes, mint, pants, wood, trains, rocks, fire, soccer balls, lint, rats, tobacco, ash, paint, light, bricks, bottles, shirts, winter, oxen, shoelaces, orbs, chains, water, dust, mist, gas, hobos, radar, hoses, keys, books, flies, glass, poop, hair, tequila, cacti, graffiti, mussels, oracles, unicorns, statues, windows, and every other object and creature on Earth.

But like Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers, she will not go away. Now she is back and threatening to take on Nancy Pelosi in the 2008 Congressional elections.

When a lot of people retire, they take up golf or get a hobby. But Cindy started a caravan! Hey, nutjob, I thought you were going home to take care of your surviving children? Turns out you had enough time to whip up a caravan, eh? Super. Sorry I couldn’t hitch my wagon to that. And I'm sure Pelosi is quaking in her boots about your "deadline."

Cindy the freak says she will run as an independent because Democrats and Americans feel betrayed by the Democratic leadership.” Uh, I feel disappointed, but certainly not enough to elect you. I actually might vote for Bush over you. That is how I feel about people who bury their uterus in Texas.

God, please stop.

brava

Cindy Sheehan is on the right track. The failure of rationaltity in the US must be laid at the door of the Democratic Party. There will always be slime but Bush and Rumsfield who want to rule our world. What the US lacks is a workers' party with the integrity to stand for social justice.

Say it again, brother.

Awww...taking a swipe at Cindy. Thats kinda low, eh?

and again...

Yeah, let's not take a swipe at someone as rational and apolitical as Cindy.

Free speech is only for criticizing republicans we hate, not for the anointed saviors (regardless of obvious mental defect).

Is there anyone you won't shit on for a cheap, bitter laugh.

*Note: actual laughs optional based on the adequacy of the "comedian".

Bah..I thought this thread might actually have had something important to do with the Friday the 13th series and its impending remake/re-imagining

hot and sweaty rhyme with machete

The author of this piece seems to be running on the assumption that no one likes Ms. Sheehan. Unfortunately a lot of people respect and admire her, such as myself. As such the piece operates on a fallacy and is rather poor. I couldn't get past the list of "things on earth" to read if there might actually be some sort of content to the piece.

Precisely. Cindy Sheehan, for all the support she may or may not have, isn't going to unseat an incumbent of 15 years, least of all one who's Speaker of the House. She buried her fucking uterus folks - you don't need negative campaigning, she's done the creep-out work already.

Besides, it is fucking pointless to try and impeach Bush. There are plenty of more pressing, less symbolic battles to be fought. Democrats can't even muster the support (nor the scrote) to cut off funding for the most unpopular war in recent history. Just wait until he's a civilian then try him and Darth Cheney for war crimes.

Letting that woman run is about as smart as pulling Jeffrey Dahmer out of his coffin dressing him in a tweed suit and declaring his electable status. Look there are standards that one must meet, and electing that ravenously psychotic woman or even considering her in an election would equate to allowing Ronald fucking Mcdonald to run. See alot of people get all weepy when you mention a depraved woman wrought with grief, but none of you get offended when anyone makes fun of the androgynous twenty something male that Ann Coulter is. It is all because this dumb bitches kid died in Iraq, then she went postal on a trail of evil misled doctrine. I have expressly forbid my parents doing anything like this, it is in my will and my benefactors package. I am not going to be a fucking example to be used by a God damned political party. Thats the real problem, that this psycho bitch is using her sons memory as a political weapon and it is sick. She probably said she was retiring because she spent all 450000 dollars of her sons life policy on fucking Crack. This is worse than Kerry's wives of 9/11 posse. Oh well, if I stop sending messages it probably means I got killed in Iraq, promise me Reaper you won't build a camp Huxley....

Wow, running against Nancy Pelosi will reaaalllly show her. Cause, you know, evvvveryone is gonna vote for Cindy cause she's a true stable leader and she speaks for all of us! Right?!

I would love to see Cheney and Bush behind bars, but in our current political climate, I just don't see it. We can't even get the fuck out of Iraq.

Well, at least FTR can't be accused of only liking product B anymore.

Yep. Well, it's simply too much fun and oh so self-satisfying to adopt the ultra-cynical, ironic posture of hipper-than-thou blogster and then to pretend that every sane person agrees with you, to bother trying to offer any real critique...

What Sheehan lacks in articulacy and ideological finesse is more than compensated by the fact that she has demonstrated the courage, will and tenacity to commit her life's time and energy to actually doing something in the effort to promote social and political justice. If more of us were willing to make the sacrifices she has made and to take the risks she has taken, this country might be a better place for it. (And no, I'm not planning on voting for her; I'm just sayin'...)

AMEN!

In terms of people who were popular figures but also completely powerless and undeserving of any attention, Sheehan is practically holding hands with Hilton.

Wow, first of all, let Sheehan run & watch her fail…miserably. Secondly, she used her son's death in a disrespectful manner & patronized what her son stood for. She is a repulsive individual.

A side note about Casey Sheehan:

Casey Sheehan joined the US Army on his own accord. Casey Sheehan volunteered to take the place of another soldier on the night that he did. He volunteered that night so he could aid in saving another soldiers life. He was doing something he believed in & he paid the ultimate sacrifice.

I thank Casey & all of Our US Troops for the service & sacrifice they have chosen to give to our country.

I had a lot of sympathy for her , . . . at first.

And yet, here you are using soldiers' death to promote your own agenda, you vestigial tail on the ass of Sparta. I'm sure that Casey would be happy to hear you slander his mother.


I don't understand the irrational hate directed toward this woman, and I don't think I want to. But, of course she hasn't a snowball's chance in hell against Pelosi, but engaging in the political discourse of her country is her right, and is a fairly laudable act.

The media has a lot to do with it.

Yes, but not more than the mutant minds of those who buy in to it.
