I love you CINDY SHEEHAN and I wish you all the best!

[pnwmom]

Thank you for the tribute you've been paying to your son and all the other victims of this war. And thank you for never giving up.

[blm]

2. I was ready to post something similar. Will add my love and thanks

to this thread.

[pnwmom]

6. Let's try to get this on the Greatest Page. Okay?

Yay, Cindy!

:hi: :hi: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :hi: :hi:

[omega minimo]

12. Done.

#5 :hi:

[hsher]

24. How do we do that?

I'm a newbie and helped Cindy get a place to stay while she was passing through Atlanta last year. I want to help on the Greatest Page project. How do dingbat new folk like me do it?

[pnwmom]

40. Just go to the original post (OP)

and, in the lower left-hand side, click on the words "Recommend for greatest page."

[hsher]

70. Done!

Thanks and a kick for Cindy! :kick:

[babylonsister]

3. I agree totally! And did you see this?

[pnwmom]

5. If you wouldn't mind . . .

I'd love this to get on the Greatest Page for her to see . . .

[pnwmom]

8. Great news. But whether or not she wins the Nobel

she'll always be THE PEACE MOM to me

and a tower of strength for us all.

[babylonsister]

10. The honor is being nominated, and also being a thorn in

the blivet's side!
I'm one of her biggest fans myself! :toast:

[bonito]

4. A Kick for Cindy.

[I Have A Dream]

7. Kicked & recommended. n/t

[Rex]

9. I think she deserves a nomination for the NPP.

She never backs down from the RW and their abuse of our troops. Bush STILL to this day, will not talk to her - it would mean he would have to face his mistakes. Can't have that.

[pnwmom]

16. The report is that she's on the short list for the prize.

Here's hoping!

[Rex]

19. Yes, just being on the short list would be an honor IMO.

Here is to Cindy and you pnwmom! Mom's of the world unite! :)

[pnwmom]

25. Peace, Rex.

There is something about having children . . . how can any parent not feel empathy for other parents -- wherever they live? How can we choose to kill someone else's child?

[greccogirl]

73. What report?

The nominees are kept secret for something like 50 years.

Go back and tell the hive

[Kurovski]

45. lol

:D

[babylonsister]

18. Wow, you took a wrong turn! He's an idiotic person who doesn't

have a clue. We are in a war where 100's of thousands are dying, for what? And that's our fellow country men and women as well as Iraqis. As well as Cindy's son.
Do you honestly feel safer? Did the inactions of this admin during Katrina make you feel safer?
Fess up!

And PS, what's with the quotes around son? What's that about? What kind of shit have you been brainwashed about?

[pnwmom]

20. Either you forgot your sarcasm smilie or you belong somewhere else.

This isn't the place for blind followers of Bush.

And Casey wasn't her "son." He was her son, and always will be, no matter how many years pass.

[CatWoman]

27. why don't you get over it

and shut the fuck up.

so, by your rules, mothers get only 2 years to mourn their murdered sons?

30. You have been assimilated by the collective. For you to resist

the Almighty Chimp is futile.

[catnhatnh]

33. You are handicapped alright.....

I'll take my broken vertabrae over what you've got any day...

[nam78_two]

"son"? /nt

[eleny]

34. buh-bye

[in_cog_ni_to]

35. She needs to get over her son's DEATH? How many sons have YOU lost?

I suggest you join the reality club and stop drinking the damn kool-aid! Good G-d. I didn't know there were any idiots left who still support this MURDEROUS regime! "We should just follow?" Like good little sheeple, right?:eyes: :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Go here:www.freerepublic.com

[cynatnite]

37. I'm not a Cindy Sheehan fan...

But if my son died in this godless immoral war, I'd follow him EVERYWHERE! And I wouldn't stop.

[Subdivisions]

43. Then why wouldn't you be a Cindy Sheehan fan? Let me tell you

something. I've had the HONOR of meeting Cindy in person and I'm going to tell you this about her. She's no different than your best friend Sally down the block. She wants to know for what NOBLE purpose her son was sent to die. That's it. Simple.

You say you would follow bush around if it were your son that died over there in that unjust war of choice. Exactly what Cindy is doing.

Edited to add: After reading my post, it might sound snarky. Please receive it as a friendly comment :).

[pnwmom]

46. If you aren't it's probably because the media

has messed with your mind.

[cynatnite]

48. Oh, please...

:rofl:

That's hilarious.

[cynatnite]

47. My reasons for not being a fan has to do with other things...

and not her as a person. I don't know her as a person. I'm not slamming her so don't be so defensive.

I do know, if it were my son, and I pray it never is, I would be on bush's coattails, but I wouldn't go to Venuzuala and a few other things I don't agree with her on.

I'm not a fan of hers, but I do respect her sacrifice. If she truly believes in everything she does, more power to her.

P.S. 'Let me tell you something' doesn't come across as a friendly comment.

[pnwmom]

52. But why do you have to clutter up a page

that was meant as a tribute to Cindy with your disclaimer?

[cynatnite]

54. Is that what you thought?

It was a response to the pinhead who trivialized her loss in such an uncaring way. No mother who loses her child like this, I don't care who she is, should be talked to or done this way. No, I'm not a fan, but it pisses me off that people like that trivialize a devestating loss. It's wrong.

[az chela]

56. Cindy is one of my best friends and I dare anyone on here

to try and keep up with her for 1 month.She has lost more than any of you will ever know ,fasted til she had to go to the hospital,had surgury and then an infection that put her back in the hospital and still she is out there every day
supporting us and bringing back the anti-war movement.NO she cant bring back Casey but she is making damn sure that his death will help end the criminals running the government.
Anyone who thinks she hasnt made a difference is an idiot!!!!!

[cynatnite]

58. If you're talking to me I wasn't slamming her as a person...

I don't know her. I don't agree with her on everything. That's all. :shrug:

Sorry, you took what I said as a personal attack on her.

[pnwmom]

60. Maybe the reaction

had something to do with your original subject line?

This really wasn't intended as as place for debate, you know what I mean? Just a hello and a thank you!

People with other concerns can start their own threads.

[cynatnite]

62. I didn't know there was only certain kinds of responses allowed...

I was the responding to the pinhead freeptard who trivialized Cindy Sheehan's loss.

[babylonsister]

69. FWIW, as much as I love Cindy, I can also appreciate your pov.

I don't know that her visits elsewhere have helped her and think she got caught up in the hoopla, but I respect you and Cindy. I think that's allowed. :-)

[Horse with no Name]

81. I like Cindy

I also understand where you are coming from. There are members of my family that don't support what she does.
That doesn't make them less liberal. It is just we all aren't going to like the same people.
Hang in there cyn--many of us here know what you meant and that it wasn't a personal attack.

[pnwmom]

59. thank you az chela!!!!!

Give her our love, okay?

Even if we don't all know how to say it . . . .

[RestoreGore]

79. "help end the criminals running the government"

How? They have now reportedly sent ships to the Persian Gulf near Iran. Looks like their PNAC plan is right on schedule. So I really would then like to know exactly how we are going to stop these criminals running the government when people won't even talk about impeachment, and condone them passing bills regarding torture and anything else they want. To help end the criminals running the government you will need to topple the entire system from top to bottom. So again, just how is that going to be carried out now? I really would like to know, because I woke up this morning and they are still there and will still be there no matter who wins Congress. And just as a disclaimer, this opinion doesn't make me an idiot, so if you are going to respond with namecalling, don't bother at all.

[RestoreGore]

78. I wouldn't follow Bush around...

It's useless and I know that already. But then, knowing Bush was in the White House, I would never allow my son to join the military in the first place. However, I would be lobbying Congress relentlessly to have him impeached.

[pnwmom]

88. Just so you know

parents don't "allow" their adult children to join the military. It is the decision of the young adult. Not every parent of a child serving in Iraq favored the decision to enter the military, though ALL of them love and support their children once they are there.

[RestoreGore]

89. Yes, they ALL DO

So perhaps some could stop making this breach BIGGER by dismissing them in favor of putting only one on a pedastal. And my adult son will not join the military because I haven't instilled it in him now. He knows what this is about. THAT was my point.

[pnwmom]

90. Applauding Cindy for her efforts on behalf of us all

has nothing to do with dismissing other people.

She deserves all our appreciation for being such a strong voice.

[RestoreGore]

91. All who lose children in war regardless of politics deserve our tears

As a mother as well, I appreciate them all. And perhaps we could have made more headway regarding ending this war if it hadn't once again become a Democrat vs. Republican issue as Ms. Sheehan and others have now made it by becoming a tool exclusively of Democratic organizations. We could have galvanized more people of other political leanings to the cause of demanding this war end now based on morality had this not become such a bitter partisan political issue, and the fault for that falls on Democrats and Republicans. Those who die in war should have no political distinction for they are all Americans, and regardless of politics none of them deserved to die at the hands of those in both Parties who put their own aspirations before human life. You appreciate her voice and that is absolutely your right, and as a mother I can sympathize with her loss. However, I don't idolize her and think that her friendship with Hugo Chavez and other actions hurt the anti-war movement's credibility. I hope that opinion is allowed without me being called names and having my head bit off. My last words on this anyway.

[pnwmom]

92. She would be the first to agree with that.

But it is not HER fault this is a Democratic vs. Republican issue. That's the fault of the Republican administration that began this war on the basis of false intelligence, and the fault of the Republican Congress who -- with only a handful of exceptions continue to strongly support Bush's war.

You say she became a "tool" of Democratic organizations. What alternative did she have? No Republican organization was EVER the slightest bit interested in listening to her. They were all too busy defending Bush and pretending that the war was going well.

[Poppyseedman]

38. Really?

"Since he's president, we should just follow."

Do you blindly follow any yahoo ???

[Berserker]

39. Flush twice

it's a long way to freeperville.

[calico1]

41. That was fast. Tombstoned before

I could add my response. Silly Freepers!

[Horse with no Name]

42. You are nothing but a smattering of shit in the Republican diaper

[az chela]

50. Ok O'Leilly ,we know this is you so you can cut the bull!!!

[The Brethren]

13. she has my respect and appreciation.

and for the repub fanatics who've been following her around heckling her: "Bush does NOT speak for me!"

[hsher]

15. Don't hate me, but...

Fully expect the GOP to whip self-hating Jews into reminding us Yasser Arafat won one, too, just to discredit her. Looking at my watch, I expect that meme to enter the biosphere...

... now.

[pnwmom]

22. If she wins, the cretins can say whatever they want.

[hsher]

23. I agree and hope she wins, but we know how They are

[CrispyQ]

17. Love to you Cindy.

Peace to all mothers everywhere.

[omega minimo]

21. Cindy is for real

Cindy guested on Wed. on Steph Miller Show. Stephanie said, "Everyone who meets Cindy Sheehan falls in love with her."

I got to meet her and had a good bit of time to visit and talk. She is very real, down to earth and loving. She is humble, as the truly great people are.

Cindy is a great example (as have other Nobel Peace Prize recipients been) of what a single courageous "normal" individual can do to inspire others by saying You Can Do This Too. She may get the Prize, but she doesn't need or want a pedestal. She has her feet planted firmly on the earth and in the truth.

:patriot:

[AnotherMother4Peace]

26. Cindy, you have my admiration and respect - Bless you

[Oceansaway]

44. K&R.

[stepnw1f]

49. She's America's Mom...

I love you Mrs. Sheehan. Thank you...

[pnwmom]

51. She certainly is.

[BelgianMadCow]

53. Hell yes! I'd be elated if she gets it. Edit : only 17 Rs??? c'mon

Imagine her putting the million $ question to Bush again before a world audience...

But I don't see it happen, with the Swedes.

[pnwmom]

61. What a thought. Thanks, BelgianMadCow.

[lonestarnot]

55. Woot hot damn yest! Cindy! You just go girl!

Use that money toward the peace mission if you win! Yeah! Hot digiddy!

[bdamomma]

57. Cindy is just a compassionate, devoted and just cares about

people. Thank you Cindy.

[roguevalley]

63. she was the hinge upon which it has all pivoted. what a great woman. :)

[yojon]

64. Cindy deserves that prize!!

She pretty much single handedly galvanized the peace movement in this country. The amazing thing is that it was almost accidental. She just decided that when shit-for-brains blew her off, she wanted a reasonable explanation of why she lost Casey. She decided she would camp out next to his property till she got one.

She is so eloquent and so dedicated and so principled that everyone gathered around her.

I cant think of anyone else who mobilized more energy for peace (Ghandi, MLK included).

[bigwillq]

65. Cindy rules!

Thank you! :hug:

[pnwmom]

66. Don't we wish.

[bigwillq]

67. Don't we wish what?

That she rules the planet? This country?

It's been a long night. My brain is tired.

:)

[pnwmom]

68. Either one would be great for me.

It would have to be an infinite improvement over what we've got.

[pitohui]

71. i hope she wins/is shortlisted/ and is recovering nicely

to be honest the last i heard she was recovering from surgery, i hope she is doing very well now and i also hope she wins and draw more attention to her cause

i'm sick of this @@@@ in iraq, it seems clear we are not doing anything good or useful there

[earth mom]

72. I love Cindy too!

:loveya:

[Keepontruking]

74. Cindy

I am sorry for your loss.....for that is what started you on
this road , but I thank the heaven and earth we were given you
for your strength, attitude, and fortitude!!!!  sincerely

[Sensitivity]

75. Cheers for "Standing by Your Man" who called out the "Devil"

The MSM all said you lost your credibility by supporting Hugo Chavez, but you stuck to you principles.

You deserve real admiration.

[Crabby Appleton]

76. News report says

Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh is winner.

[malaise]

77. Well he is a good man

but I'd have loved Cindy to win.

[RestoreGore]

80. It was a good choice n/t

[midnight]

82. We love you Cindy. We support your nomination for this

Nobel Peace Prize. Two summers ago we placed a go Cindy sign outside our house. Police officer from my town threatened us with a ticket if we didn't take down the sign. I checked with Police chief and he said his policeman was short on learning curve. Police have followed my husband homes many times since this, and now they have arrested my husband who was coming home from work at 1:00 in morning after working second shift as a RN. They gave him three breath tests which he past and then they took his blood. Police Chief said he had no rights. No phone call, no attorney. Lets hope more people come to hear Cindy's voice as a voice of reason, instead of seeing her and those who support her as a terrorist or standing with Osama. Two weeks before this arrest someone taped a, Cindy stands with Osama, sign over our cindy sign.

[pnwmom]

83. Cindy is a model to us all. And you guys are also heroes

for standing up with her.

I'm so sorry about your husband. How did it turn out?

[midnight]

86. We are just starting to fight.

We attended a debate between Sennsenbrenner,author of patriot act, and Kennedy. We meet a doc. who said that it is an embarrassing fact that the medical community cannot not protect our privacy from these folks who consider you a terrorist. They can riffle through supposed private records.

[faithnotgreed]

84. i will gladly kick for cindy and her tireless commitment to peace

and justice

[byronius]

85. Inspiring, brave, good-hearted, All-American. Thank you,

I root for you everyday.

[vanboggie]

87. Adding my admiration and support

K&R for Cindy
