(snip)
Sheehan, for her part, honors her son Casey, a proud soldier dead in combat at 24, by transforming herself from Stricken Everywoman to Far-Lefty Shill, spewing boilerplate that might have been written by Michael Moore. Her own relatives complain that Casey would not for a minute appreciate her performance and have pleaded with her to cut the theatrics.

Still, until her mother suffered a stroke yesterday, Sheehan remained camped out with her traveling carnival on a Texas roadside, imagining that President Bush was somehow obliged to personally receive her and take a face-to-face scolding and then act at once upon her demand that he bring back all the troops right now. Bush, of course, will not think of having her in, and he owes nobody an apology for this rebuff.

It happens that more and more Americans are unhappy about Iraq and are ripe to be galvanized by this single-minded woman. But Mother Cindy's own flame will likely soon burn down, as her sympathizers begin to discover that, for example, she's an admirer of Lynne Stewart, the New York lawyer recently convicted of aiding and abetting a jailed terrorist mastermind, and that she has been known to blame "the Jews" for many of the world's ills.

"...Mother Cindy's own flame will likely soon burn down..."

1. Comparing Cindy to Michael Moore must be the new

Reich-wing talking point.

I've heard that all over the place.

2. I would be honored to be mentioned in the same breath as Michael Moore

As for the rest of the article, typical NY Daily News crap. I wouldn't even line a birdcage with that paper.

4. I laugh when Moore is mentioned as being far left

he is old time left (populists on the working man's side) which of course is America of the "good old days" the right has somehow been able to wrangle under their umbrella (no tent).

3. you know it doesn't matter how many other mothers

they trot out to say their son died for a valiant and noble cause - I don't care if every other mother of the 1800+ who have died in this war think * shits gold bricks - Cindy wants to know and her right ask is absolute here. If the others are satisfied with the answer they got that's fine I hope it helps them in a horrible time but that in no way negates Cindy's views. They are hers and hers alone. She doesn't need the permission of the other mothers. Yesh what a foul group of people we have become.

It is just me or does it seem most of the people calling Cindy bad names are either a) Male and/or b) not parents.

Piss on the Daily News. From a great height

5. am I missing something?

When did Cindy Sheehan say anything about Jews?

Or is this your typical New York tabloid lie?

I guess Cindy Sheehan is just not one of the 'elect'. This is also typical of them. Some people's grief is more valid than others, and they are entitled to decide. Then they go pawing through their files to find a couple of other moms who are more 'legitimate' and promote them over her.
