Mom says request to talk to Bush remains focus of vigil

ANGELA K. BROWN

Associated Press

CRAWFORD, Texas - Since a grieving mother started camping out near President Bush's ranch 10 days ago, vowing to remain until he talks to her about the war that killed her son, she says other issues and groups have muddied her mission.

Critics are focusing on Cindy Sheehan's comments that Bush should be impeached, that she won't pay her income taxes, and that Israel should leave Palestine. And among the Web sites running her daily blog is "Fahrenheit 9/11" filmmaker Michael Moore's.

"It's obvious that she is promoting a political agenda," said Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the Washington, D.C., chapter of FreeRepublic.com, which holds rallies to support troops and counter anti-war demonstrations. "Mrs. Sheehan has spent the past year in the embrace of the radical left of this country."

Unrelated groups also have trekked to her makeshift campsite, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. When others handed out Communist Party leaflets Saturday, they were promptly asked to leave.........

7. Generally there is only the one paragraph about the crosses--later
in the story.

....Late Monday, a pickup truck tore through rows of white crosses that stretched about two-tenths of a mile along the side of the road at the camp. The crosses bore the names of fallen U.S. soldiers. No one was hurt.

Cindy Sheehan carries a cross with the name of her son during her vigil near the Ranch of President Bush in Crawford
11 Aug 2005
Source: Reuters

Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, California, president of Gold Star Families for Peace and mother who lost her son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Austin Sheehan who was serving in Iraq, holds a cross with his name on it, among dozens of other crosses representing Iraqi war dead, during her vigil near the ranch owned by U.S. President George W. Bush in Crawford, Texas August 11, 2005. About 50 anti-war protesters have set up camp near the president's ranch, calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

10. It was just on MSNBC
With video footage of the crosses ~ of course they too mentioned the divorce. Are Cindy and her husband the first couple to get a divorce in this country? Didn't Bush's brother cheat on his wife and kick her out of her home not too long ago after admitting he had underage sex with young girls, against Int. law, in Asia?

Each time they mention Cindy's divorce, the divorces of prominent Repubs should be mentioned. If divorce is an issue, lets talk about every war supporter who is getting or who is divorced and the reasons why.

11. It's just as obvious that "Kristinn Taylor" (if that's his real name)
is an asshole.

So, "Kristinn" (if that's your real name), would you kindly explain to us how FreeRebubbalic.com isn't a site promoting a political agenda?

Take your time. I know when your lips are as securely attached to boosh's* ass as yours are, it'll take a while to come up with something other than "mmmmmph, mmmmmmph, mmmmmph".

12. Hmmm, so let's see, when people handed out
Communist Party leaflets, they were asked to leave . . . that kind of shoots that Freeper argument full of holes now doesn't it.
