Sheehan Again...
Sheehan’s “Shameful” Letter To Barbara Bush…
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (11/27) reported “If you harbored any lingering doubts as to the motivation of Cindy Sheehan, grieving mom turned Mother Peacenik, harbor no more. Sheehan's latest nerve-scraping -- an Internet-posted open letter to Barbara Bush -- reveals her in all her politically motivated glory…Childlike in her vitriol, she attacks Mrs. Bush for failing to raise a decent human being…‘Did you teach (the president) that killing other people for profits and oil ALWAYS is wrong? Obviously you did not...Casey's beautiful mind was ended by an insurgent's bullet to his brain, but your son might as well have pulled the trigger.’…But read between the lines…This very public saga no longer is about her son. This is no longer about peace. This is Bush-bashing at its worst…But in attempting to discredit President Bush, Sheehan discredits herself. Sheehan has become all about Sheehan, a media machine that would make even Martha Stewart blush. She's now out with a book, ‘Not One More Mother's Child.’ Can ‘Cindy!,’ her own talk show, be far behind?…One of Sheehan's spin-off efforts, ‘Code Pink,’ holds daily rallies outside the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, protesting wounded soldiers. Yes, protesting wounded soldiers…Sheehan's shameful letter to Barbara Bush ends any pretense of her being a peace activist. She is an anti-Bush activist using her personal tragedy as cover. In a time of war we should walk away from such a spectacle. How in good conscience can we as a country give power to the political intent of Cindy Sheehan and the political-media machine supporting her?”
