Sheehan turning attention to Obama, camping out at Wa. Monument

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you don't agree with her views...

But look, A woman who loses her son, especially in a war that should have never taken place. Has every right to get pissed. No mother wants to see their son die. So her Continuing to protest against a war seems no more irrelevent then mothers who lost theirs kids to drunk driving continuing to run MADD.

Even if you don't agree with her politics. I don't think calling her a whacko is fair. The immense pain this woman feels for the loss of her son could have led her to do many things. At least protesting is somewhat positive (unless you don't agree with her, then she's just a whacko :confused:)

I agree with you 95%. She IS a whacko. But the rest of that stuff is about right.

The ONLY thing I like about Sheehan (and I suppose the same could be said for Obama) is that she pisses off the worst dregs of our society. I find solace in that. ;)

I AM a veteran. She don't piss me off. I just think she's a kook.

I mostly mean war mongers and Archie Bunker types. Those guys hate her. I'm glad to see someone getting under their skin. It's kinda like "payback." :rofl

Yes, now she's a kook, but she used to be the media darling. :shrug:

I dislike her do to her treason and slander. :shrug:
 
She's a kook, media darling or not. Kinda like Sarah Palin, only different.

I do, however, find it amusing that so many kooks get so much publicity these days.

Really?

These days? I think its been constant.
 
Attention whore is attention whore.

Did we really think that she'd be satisfied with her last fix and cut off her addiction?

As Catz alluded to, I was thinking media whore. Palin's name just kinda popped up in my head. So does Sharpton and Jackson. I could go on.

I don't see how Major Hasan's name could come up in a Sheehan thread. Unless it's the military career aspect.

ask redress she seems to think no Americans are terrorists..........
 
I love to see Lefties fight each though............;)..At least she is not ****ing with President Bush anymore.............
 
You seem to think it's appropriate to put words in people's mouths.

You don't want me to embarrass you and find your post do you? I really don't want to pick on you because I like you..........
 
Navy are you going to respond to my post on page 2, I want to know how you rationalize defense of someone's right to speak as support for their position.

I apologize for not responding to your post, I must have missed it, You have to understand though I am fighting the good fight against radical lefties on 2 or 3 threads at the same time...

That said I went back and looked at your post and I am not sure of your point.. I think when it comes to speech we pretty much agree but I don't think the originators of the 1st amendment planned to have it defined as some of our left wing friends have defined it today....

What do you mean defined today? isn't free speech... free speech. To speak ones mind without fear of judgement and transgression. I mean, what do you think free speech means? Say what you want, long as its what I want? Along that road sir, lies all kinds of trouble.

If it wasn't for Mom, you wouldn't even know who Casey Sheehan was. So where's the legacy for the unknown soldiers?
 
Her son was against every thing his mother stands for.......Its been 5 years has she put a headstone on his grave yet??????
If you really cared you would already have the answer to this question. Without looking, do you know what her son's name is?
