Peace Mom Doesn't Claim To Speak For Others
Cindy Sheehan Back At Anti-War Camp Outside Bush Ranch

CRAWFORD, Texas -- Cindy Sheehan says she has never claimed to speak for all families of the soldiers killed in Iraq, but that she's not the only one who needs answers about why Americans are dying.

Speaking to supporters Thursday, she said she was overwhelmed by a huge banner featuring her son's face when she returned to the anti-war protest camp the previous night. She had left the protest outside President George W. Bush's Texas ranch to see her ailing mother in California.

Sheehan said she wants to know "the noble cause our children die for." She has no quarrel with Americans who feel their loved ones died for a good reason, but she wants to make her son's death "stand for peace."

1. Why doesn't the MSM feature the other mothers of children

killed in Iraq who have joined with Cindy.

This article makes it sound like Cindy is the only mother asking for answers.

<<Families of some other Iraq war dead have criticized Sheehan's protest. They've launched a counterprotest and call the tour "You don't speak for me, Cindy.">>

I agree with Cindy. Why is the MSM letting Bush get away with his lies?

5. CNN didn't air the speech from the other Mom right before Cindy today.

But they sure did air all of the reich wing bushbots willng to send their children to their deaths for their chimperor**. It was disgusting.

6. They couldn't counter her real message so they attempt to fabricate

... a message they can.

Good work on Cindy's part keeping them on topic.

7. Cindy is great

but It really upsets me that our Democrats in the congress and in the Senate need to get off there asses and start speaking for her cause. I didn't vote for a bunch of wimps!!! I started be emailing mine and next is start making phone calls and letters. We need to bring our troops home! Everyone needs to inform there Representatives to do it NOW!

8. True, she never claimed it - but she nonetheless does

and that's what makes her message so strong.

She gives voice to the voiceless - for the dead will never speak again.
