CINDY SHEEHAN - MEDIA WHORE

The self imposed retirement did not last long. It could not have lasted much longer since she has been out of the spotlight for several weeks.

Cindy Sheehan, anti-war activist and protester, mother of an Iraq war hero in whose name she has claimed she protests and I might add marred the memory of her heroic son, but most of all media whore is back in the spotlight again.

Sheehan has announced that she is giving House Speaker Nancy Pelosi until July 23 to introduce impeachment procedures against the President and the Vice President. If this action is not taken by Pelosi then Sheehan is announcing her candidacy to run against Pelosi for her San Francisco district House seat.

Will she win ? Of course not. Will Pelosi introduce impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney because of Sheehan's threat ? Not likely. Which brings us back to the title of this post, "Cindy Sheehan - Media Whore." This loony far left winger even in the very liberal district that has elected Pelosi has no chance of winning the seat.

What she will receive is the media attention that she craves and that she has missed since beginning her, "retirement, " because she could no longer handle the pressure or the spotlight. Yeah right ! When she announced her retirement I knew it would be short lived simply because she LOVES THE SPOTLIGHT!

The only thing that she may accomplish with the hair brained scheme is to arouse the far left in Pelosi's district, which will pressure Madame Speaker to appease the radical left who have voted for her in the past. Thus moving her own policy stances further left than they already are and reveal a greater liberal agenda that she already follows.

This of course will drop her popularity and that of the Democrat Congress even more than it is now. So Sheehan's move may very well be beneficial after all. I cannot wait to hear her announcement on the 24th when Pelosi's deadline passes. That in itself ought to be a hoot. Just when one thinks that politics has become dull and business as usual out steps Mother Sheehan and brings a whole new perspective to the word joke and a very interesting twist to the 2008 campaign. She can't win but it will be hilarious to watch!

Come to think of it. There is a story out of New Hampshire about a guy who robbed a bank disguised as a tree, ( not making this up, this is for real here's the link.) Maybe Cindy could hire this guy to hang campaign posters on. She would be reforming a criminal by giving him a job, getting the word out about her campaign AND being environmentally friendly all at once. Just a thought!

LOL! I don't need to go to your bank-robbing tree post, Ken, as I ran a post on it, and I think he and Cindy would make a great team! :)

She's got to be out of her mind! Why don't some of those oh-so-caring liberals get together and provide funds for her to see a qualified psychiatrist? I mean, it's the humane thing to do! Perhaps we conservatives should consider it, as it is the humane thing to do and a side benefit is that it would show up the liberals. Just another thought to add to yours. ;)

So what if she runs against Pelosi? She is an American and has a right to do so.

What I don't get is that some of you right wingers will complain and criticize when she practices her right to free speech against the President's policies. Then, when she practices it against the Speaker you complain and criticize again.

Honestly, why do you care? She is an American who actually does something for causes she believes in. Unlike most Americans who care more about what Paris Hilton did last night.

Rob, I don't criticize her for exercising her free speech rights; I criticize the "speech" themselves.

I criticize and ridicule her for many things; but I do so with the understanding that she lost a son who served his country honorably; and out of respect to Casey, I try to temper my language toward her. But as a political activist, she has made herself fair game to whatever criticism one chooses to sling her way. As I see it, her rhetoric deserves to be countered.

No one is denying her the decision to run against Pelosi. In fact, you're probably hard-pressed to find any conservative who doesn't want to be point and laugh to see it happen. Criticizing her is not the same as denying her a right to express her point of view. It's to engage her on it.

I have no problem with substantive discussion and disagreement with her views. What I find ridiculous is hatred and personal attacks that folks make (I am not talking about you). It does nothing to raise the level of discourse in the battle of ideas.

Ken refers to her as a media whore because she has a vocal opinion. He calls her effort to run a "hair brained scheme."

Gayle says she is "out of her mind" and can use the money she raises to pay for a "qualified psychiatrist."

My point is that to criticize her for POSSIBLY running a campaign is to criticize an American for sharing their opinion.

Their comments are not uncommon about Sheehan, particularly from folks on the right. But, I don't see how those are relevant, legitimate criticisms of her actual beliefs or what she says.

Rob, the problem is that she speaks with little knowledge or with little objective other than to simply speak.

I disagree with you all the time, but would never have anythig negative to say about your voicing your opinion. I can't stand hearing hers because it is shrill and not based on anything but hearing her own voice.
