Cindy Sheehan continues to interest me.

[Kaleva]

She remains true to herself and uncompromising as evidenced in the following quote:

" The serial-imperial killer Barack Obama had this to say about the tragedy in Tucson on January 8: “Such a senseless and terrible act of violence has no place in a free society.” First of all, I wonder what country Obama lives in and, secondly, he presides as president of the Empire over much of these “terrible acts of violence.”"

I first heard of her before she became famous when she made a speech at a VFP meeting stating she was going to Crawford, Texas. I watched as she became an icon of the anti-war movement (which, in her view, turned out to be actually an anti-Bush movement), and got to know, on line, some who knew and worked with her personally. Her rabid rise to fame was followed by an almost as rapid fall to oblivion. Last I read, she was involved in a counter protest to an anti-abortion march in San Francisco.

As I stated earlier, she has remained true to herself and to her principles but being unwilling to compromise in the slightest, she has been abandoned and ignored by all but a very few.

Cindy has given up her marriage, friends, her job and a comfortable life in order to fight for what she believes in. While I do not agree with her views, such as her description of President Obama as being a "serial-imperial killer", if I ever were to meet her, I'd shake her hand and tell her I was impressed by her dedication and sacrifice.

1. Wow, that woman is delusional. nt

[Webster Green]

2. How is she delusional?

The closest thing I can find to "delusional" in her statement is her hope that these war-criminals will ever face justice.

Care to actually refute the validity of any of her comments?

4. "Since Obama is commander in chief, I want him arrested for these, and other murders."

Do you want President Obama arrested for committing murder? I think most here would refute that statement.

[Webster Green]

7. I think I'll just stick with my original comment.

Justice will never be served on any big-shots who slaughter innocents with their fancy weapons systems.

That's the only thing she may be delusional about in that article.

3. I never heard anyone who worked with her describe her as being "delusional".

But I did hear that she was rather hard to work with as she was so singular of purpose. As far as I know, none of these people have had any contact with Cindy for the past several years.

5. Sounds accurate to me. How many dead in Afghanistan,

Pakistan, etc?

[Prometheus Bound]

6. I admire Cindy Sheehan.
