A Bad Week For Protesting Mom

CRAWFORD, Texas, Aug. 16, 2005



(CBS/AP) Cindy Sheehan - the mother who's camped out near Crawford, Texas, demanding to speak with President Bush about her GI son who died in Iraq - is continuing her vigil but the makeshift memorial erected at her campsite has taken a hit.

The campsite has close to a thousand white crosses, each representing GIs who, like Sheehan's son Casey, were killed in Iraq.

While Sheehan has gotten a lot of support in her vigil, and has been joined by dozens of sympathizers, she's also sparked some opposition.

Monday night, a pickup truck tore through the rows of white crosses.

1. wish the headline had included something about the crosses being

run down by the truck!

[cmd]

19. Perhaps it will draw in the anti-Cindys

There are people who rejoice in bad things happening to Cindy. I hope they drop their teeth when they get to the part about the crosses.

2. So much for supporting the troops, eh?

Too bad the crosses didn't puncture a couple of tires.

3. "she's also sparked some opposition..."

Interesting phrasing for what was a vicious desecration of the cross Jesus died on and the American flag as well as an attack on the memory of all those U.S. soldiers who died.

4. You took the words right out of my mouth.

What gentle phrasology.

5. lets just hope that this sad story makes some waves today.

6. Anybody notice this in the 8th paragraph?

Sheehan has vowed to continue her Texas vigil through the rest of President Bush's vacation ugh Bush's August vacation, unless he meets with her. She began her protest 10 days ago and has since been joined by more than 100 anti-war activists.

That's not my mistake cutting and pasting, that's the way the article was written. Is someone at CBS disgusted with Bush, too? :crazy:

7. Saved a screenshot of that; too precious to lose.

lol :thumbsup:

[liberal N proud]

8. I would say the proof reader didn't do their job

don't know if it was intentional or not but it does make a small statement.
Only those who actually read the articles will ever see it. Too many people only read the headlines today, I for one have caught my self doing just that.

13. that is the difference between Liberals and repukes

Liberals, like Jesus, forgive and don't seek revenge.
