Cindy Sheehan

I thought I would give my two bits on Cindy Sheehan. I think it can be all summed up with the following statement by her on the countdown with Keith Olbermann:

OLBERMANN: The nature of the media coverage you're getting now, the response from other families of soldiers killed in Iraq, all of that, from the perspective of your protest there, in a way, isn't it really better if President Bush doesn't meet with you?

SHEEHAN: I would think so, yes.

So really she doesn't want to meet the president, she is just basking in the media lime light while pressing her political views on everyone. Why though do you think the media is making such a big deal out of it?

I think the reason is simple. The liberals hate the war. They couldn't understand why people have not been protesting it. I think the whole reason why the liberal democrats tried to start the draft (while claiming Bush was trying to start it) was to get more people upset about the war. And now they have what they expected, finally someone protesting the war. They are putting all their eggs in this basket because it is what they wanted to happen. They thought it would happen all over the country like during the Vietnam War, but this is all they got, and they are going to use every second of it.
