Group Wants Sheehan's Land

[Ghost in the Machine]

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Days after Cindy Sheehan announced she was stepping down as the face of the anti-war movement, an organization that supports the U.S. intervention in Iraq said Friday it plans to buy her protest site outside President Bush's ranch.

But Sheehan doesn't want to sell to just anyone.

"It'll be a cold day in hell before she sells it to them," her sister, Dede Miller, told The Associated Press. "She'll sell it to them for $5 million."

Move America Forward wants to place a monument to the troops on the 5-acre site in Crawford, about 100 miles south of Fort Worth.

"There's definitely symbolism behind being able to take that land and being able to put up a monument that supports our troops," said Robert Dixon, executive director of the Sacramento, Calif.-based group. "It's purely symbolic. We're not going to be holding any rallies there."

1. OFFS!!!!

Just stick a 40 foot cross in the ground with "United States of America" on the cross-bar!!!

The RW will worship it and the Liberals will understand it's meaning.

2. word!

I'd do just what Cindy's sister said... sell it to them for some really high price, like 5 million... see just how bad they want it!

3. Sell it to them for the price of the Iraq Occupation

That should balance things out a little.

7. Rent it to them for $11 million an hour...

The cost of the Iraq War.

5. It's purely symbolic - nice. And what does it symbolize?

6. An appropriate monument

Would be a tablet on the ground reading "Look on my works ye mighty and despair."

8. A third party could buy it for them.

Isn't that how Cindy bought the land to begin with? I hope they don't follow her example & do that.

I wish someone would buy it & turn it into a park named after Casey, like Cindy originally planned to do.

9. Why is Cindy selling the land?

I don't get it! :wtf:

Someone who knows her needs to talk to her immediately and make her see that the land could easily land in the wrong hands! And ya'll know who I'm talking about!

10. wouldn't it make more sense to keep the land as a memorial to Casey

and the others that have died in this war. Do not sell it. It's the state of texas and as far as I can tell, the property taxes can't be too outrageous if the land is undeveloped. If there is development on the property is there some way for us the anti war crowd to help alleviate the cost?
