No wonder she likes Hugo Chavez so much

I didn't come across this lovely "I Have A Dream" speech, Psycho Sheehan style, until a few minutes ago.

Following in the vein of her dictator idols like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Castro, Psycho Sheehan has freely admitted that she wants "neo-cons" and "neo-connettes" thrown into Gitmo detention centers and the terrorists currently housed there presumably freed.

I'm sure Casey would be so proud!

Did the little voice in her head prompt her to come up with this, too?

She posted this lovely message on her Camp Casey Peace Institute website, right underneath a banner proclaiming that it is "Summer of Love 07 on a Journey for Humanity" (emphasis mine).

Like, groovy:

We are going to walk from Atlanta, GA to Congress beginning July 13th and ending up in DC on July 23rd to send the mis-leaders back home to face the music of justice in their own districts.

It is about time us “peasants” (in the eyes of the Fascist Ruling Elite) march on DC with our “pitchforks” of righteous anger and our “torches” of truth to demand the ouster of BushCo. I have a dream of the detention centers that George has built and
filled being instead filled with Orange Clad neo-cons and neo-connettes.


If Congress won’t dig BushCo’s political grave, it is the People’s job to do so. Thomas Jefferson said that we need a Revolution every 20 years, or so, to keep
our Republic honest.
Over 225 years have passed since our last Revolution (if you don't count the War Between the States) and we are long overdue for one. Turn off your TVs, kiss your pets goodbye, bring the kids and flock to the federal seat of corruption, or join us on our walk there, for a People's Accountability Movement to be in the face of the Criminal BushCo and the Complicit Congress for the
last week of session before they go on their undeserved vacations (why do they get vacations when the Iraqi parliamentarians don’t?)

On the eve of our first revolution: You know it’s right!


I always love hearing people like Psycho Sheehan talking about keeping the United States the way our Founding Fathers intended, and point the finger at the Bush administration as Fascists, while simultaneously trying to stifle our God-given rights.

Let's use an example from Psycho Sheehan's speech -- the one about throwing people who don't agree with her political views into Gitmo cells. That doesn't sound much like a Republic or a Democracy, does it? Although I'm sure her idol, Stalin, would support it wholeheartedly.

Meanwhile, also on the Camp Casey Peace Institute website, Psycho also keeps a blog in which she claims she was "dragged" back into the political realm "kicking and screaming":

I’m not backing off. I tried to remove myself from the political realm of the US, what BushCo is turning into an Evil Empire, but the blatant audacity of George commuting Scooter’s sentence (he’s not ruling out a full pardon --- and you know he will) has dragged me kicking and screaming back in. I can’t sit back and let this BushCo drag our country further down into the murky quagmire of Fascism and violence, taking the rest of the world with them!I have sat quietly back these past five weeks as the slaughter in Iraq sorrowfully surges along with George’s bloody escalation---and as the philosophical opposition to the war has soared to almost four out of every five Americans.


Right, right, she sat back sorrowfully for five weeks, and realized no one gave a damn what she was doing, so she had to find a way to make herself be "dragged kicking and screaming" back into the public spotlight, because she hates being ignored and forgotten, which is exactly what she was.

She also misspells the word "breach" a little further down, spelling it "breech". Petty, but I couldn't help myself.

And that was a smooth move, inserting "Evil Empire" in there so fluidly. She would know -- after all, she is learning from the best!

The rest of the blog is mostly incoherent rambling, jumping from one subject to the next, in which she acknowledges that she is, in fact, an attention whore -- well, sort of.

And what is this whole "Summer of Love" crap?? Come on, didn't we move on from all that hippie crap? I mean, hello, I thought the Summer of Love was reserved for 1967 only, and that we could move on from that embarassment. It's like, "celebrate humanity with free love and free drugs -- we all could use some extra STDs or diseases, so spread those legs and inject those needles!" Just make sure to throw some flowers in your hair and hold up a peace sign while you're at it. If we all hold hands and stop showering, all the world's problems will go away!

And now Psycho Sheehan has her own "Summer of Love", in which she loooooves everyone soooo much, that if you disagree with her, you deserve to be thrown into jail. For the good of the country, of course. She's a moral authority and all, remember? And if all else fails, she won't for one second hesitate to whip out the "My son died in Iraq!" card.

The funniest part is imagining her saying all of this in that annoying, small, nails-on-a-chalkboard little girl voice. You can't help but laugh. It's like Minnie Mouse, the Dictator!

Does anyone still take her seriously? Anyone?

Am I hearing crickets chirping??


Psycho gets kisses from her mentor, Hugo Chavez. Now HE'S a leader, right, Psycho?

She's ba-a-a-ck!

Did anyone think she wouldn't be?

Cindy Sheehan has been threatening to run for public office against Nancy Pelosi -- as an independent, of course, since she now hates the Democratic Party as well -- if she doesn't try to impeach President Bush.

Well, today, she made it official.

I bet Nancy Pelosi is just shaking in her high heels!

Bidding farewell to her former peace camp near President Bush's ranch, Cindy Sheehan began a nearly two-week trek toward Washington D.C. on Tuesday with her sights set on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Officially announcing her run against Pelosi in 2008 if the San Francisco congresswoman doesn't move to impeach Bush by July 23, Sheehan said she relates to the people in her home state and chided Pelosi for keeping troops in danger.

"I know what Californians care about," said Sheehan, who plans to run as an independent. "They don't care about the ruling power elite."

Sheehan first told The Associated Press on Sunday about her plans to challenge the top-ranking Democrat. She made it official Tuesday at Camp Casey, named after her 24-year-old son who was slain in Iraq and whose death first led Sheehan to Crawford in 2005 to demand a meeting with Bush.

Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said Tuesday that Pelosi's "focus is on ending the war in Iraq."

"She believes that the best way to support our troops in Iraq is to bring them home safely and soon," Daly wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "Democrats will continue to hold the Bush Administration accountable by having votes in July to change course in Iraq; to responsibly redeploy our troops; and to refocus our effort on protecting Americans from terrorism."

But Sheehan said Tuesday that's not enough.

"You can't bring the troops home if you give George Bush $100 billion to wage this war," she said. "You're not supporting them. You're keeping them in harm's way."

Sheehan's caravan then plans to leave for Houston, the first stop on what her supporters termed a "journey for humanity."

Sheehan, who turned 50 on Tuesday, in May stunned fellow anti-war activists by announcing that she would sell the 5-acre protest site. She said she felt her efforts had been in vain and that she had endured hatred and smear tactics from the left as well as from the right.

Sheehan said Bush should be impeached is because she believes he misled the public about the reasons for going to war, violated the Geneva Convention by torturing detainees and crossed the line by commuting the prison sentence of former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

Sheehan has said she lives in a Sacramento suburb but declined to disclose which city, citing safety reasons. The area is outside Pelosi's district, but there are no residency requirements for congressional members, according to the California secretary of state's office.

Sheehan spent a final long weekend at her 5-acre lot before ceremoniously handing the keys to its new owner, California radio talk show host Bree Walker.


Come on -- she can't seriously think she has a prayer of winning!

Hot Air had this video posted, of Cindy Sheehan on Fox News saying that "the little voice in Cindy Sheehan's head" was what told her to run.



I've said it so many times, but her son must be spinning in his grave right now. He joined the Army in 2000, and then re-enlisted in 2004 -- after the Iraqi War had begun, and he apparently even knew his unit was being sent to Iraq when he re-enlisted.

Casey Sheehan is a hero who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country -- and his mother jumped onto that opportunity to exploit his sacrifice and dishonor him, in order to push her own radical agenda.

Is there anything sadder than that?

But, as I said, it isn't like she has a prayer of winning. Nancy Pelosi has held that seat for 20 years. She ain't going nowhere.

Meanwhile, my buddy John Hawkins of Right Wing News has what very well could be her very first campaign ad:

Cindy Sheehan: So Long, and Good Night!

Cindy Sheehan posted a long, rambling, anti-American message on DailyKos entitled "Good Riddance, Attention Whore" in which she says she's FINALLY going to stop exploiting her son's death to push her own political agenda and dishonoring the sacrifice he made, and just go home and quit speaking for the Democratic Party.

All together now: WOO-HOO!

I mean, honestly -- it is about time!

I have come to some heartbreaking conclusions this Memorial Day Morning. These are not spur of the moment reflections, but things I have been meditating on for about a year now. The conclusions that I have slowly and very reluctantly come to are very heartbreaking to me.

The first conclusion is that I was the darling of the so-called left as long as I limited my protests to George Bush and the Republican Party. Of course, I was slandered and libeled by the right as a "tool" of the Democratic Party. This label was to marginalize me and my message. How could a woman have an original thought, or be working outside of our "two-party" system?


So now, she's a "feminist", too. Not only are us Republicans blood-thirsty cretins who want to steal oil from the innocent little civilians in the Middle East who don't wish us any harm at all, but we hate women, too. And "so-called left"?! How much more left does she want the Democratic Party to lean? Scary thought.

However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the "left" started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used. I guess no one paid attention to me when I said that the issue of peace and people dying for no reason is not a matter of "right or left", but "right and wrong."

I am deemed a radical because I believe that partisan politics should be left to the wayside when hundreds of thousands of people are dying for a war based on lies that is supported by Democrats and Republican alike. It amazes me that people who are sharp on the issues and can zero in like a laser beam on lies, misrepresentations, and political expediency when it comes to one party refuse to recognize it in their own party. Blind party loyalty is dangerous whatever side it occurs on. People of the world look on us Americans as jokes because we allow our political leaders so much murderous latitude and if we don’t find alternatives to this corrupt "two" party system our Representative Republic will die and be replaced with what we are rapidly descending into with nary a check or balance: a fascist corporate wasteland. I am demonized because I don’t see party affiliation or nationality when I look at a person, I see that person’s heart. If someone looks, dresses, acts, talks and votes like a Republican, then why do they deserve support just because he/she calls him/herself a Democrat?


She held the Republican Party to the same standards as she did the Democrats? Please. And Democrats are not supporting this war just like Republicans are. They have been trying to get us out of there with everything they have, no matter how catastrophic the results would be. But that's not enough for Psycho Sheehan... oh, no. Although, she is right about the blindness to corruption in their own party, although I'm sure she was referring to Republicans. Democrats never acknowledge corruption in their party -- they are too busy looking for problems with the GOP. And I love hearing liberals harp on and on and on about Republicans being fascists, or turning us into, as Psycho Sheehan puts it, "a fascist corporate wasteland". Uh, the socialism and nannyism that they love so much is exactly what would turn this country into a fascist wasteland.

And its funny how someone who "doesn't see party affiliation" uses Republicans as examples for all of her negative smearings.

I have also reached the conclusion that if I am doing what I am doing because I am an "attention whore" then I really need to be committed. I have invested everything I have into trying to bring peace with justice to a country that wants neither. If an individual wants both, then normally he/she is not willing to do more than walk in a protest march or sit behind his/her computer criticizing others. I have spent every available cent I got from the money a "grateful" country gave me when they killed my son and every penny that I have received in speaking or book fees since then. I have sacrificed a 29 year marriage and have traveled for extended periods of time away from Casey’s brother and sisters and my health has suffered and my hospital bills from last summer (when I almost died) are in collection because I have used all my energy trying to stop this country from slaughtering innocent human beings. I have been called every despicable name that small minds can think of and have had my life threatened many times.

... The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing. His precious lifeblood drained out in a country far away from his family who loves him, killed by his own country which is beholden to and run by a war machine that even controls what we think. I have tried every since he died to make his sacrifice meaningful. Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives. It is so painful to me to know that I bought into this system for so many years and Casey paid the price for that allegiance. I failed my boy and that hurts the most.


You know, she hit the nail on the head with that last sentence: she failed her boy. She is a disgrace to the sacrifice he made -- to fight and die for a country he believed in. I don't think I have ever seen someone so shamelessly exploit their child's death. I don't know that even John Edwards would sink so low -- or perhaps he just hasn't had the opportunity. And of course, she just HAD to throw in some anti-Americanism there. I don't think she's capable of opening her mouth without bashing the United States. And where does she get off thinking that we are killing innocent people? THEY. WANT. TO. KILL. US. And given the opportunity -- like, for example, if we were to pick up and leave Iraq without stabilizing the region first -- they will. We will see another 9-11, and probably on a much larger scale. No doubt about it.


Our brave young men and women in Iraq have been abandoned there indefinitely by their cowardly leaders who move them around like pawns on a chessboard of destruction and the people of Iraq have been doomed to death and fates worse than death by people worried more about elections than people. However, in five, ten, or fifteen years, our troops will come limping home in another abject defeat and ten or twenty years from then, our children’s children will be seeing their loved ones die for no reason, because their grandparents also bought into this corrupt system. George Bush will never be impeached because if the Democrats dig too deeply, they may unearth a few skeletons in their own graves and the system will perpetuate itself in perpetuity.


If Democrats dig too deeply they may unearth a few skeletons? Honey, that ain't a possibility. It's a certainty. You don't even have to dig to find skeletons in the Democrats' closets -- they're right out there, for anyone to see. But mainstream media bias keeps it from being reported.

This is my resignation letter as the "face" of the American anti-war movement. This is not my "Checkers" moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources.

Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.

It’s up to you now.


She'll never give up is really just her way of saying she'll be gone until she figures out a new way to exploit her son's death, or the war, or a little butterfly that flew by her window, or the fact that fictitious polar bears are floating away on fictitious icebergs, or any other "movement" she feels she can capitalize upon.

Oh, and Cindy? There are plenty of countries that are exactly what you want to turn the United States into. They're called Venezuela and Cuba, and until we overthrew Saddam, Iraq. You can "sacrifice" all you want, with book deals and appearance fees, and coffee-and-ice-cream diets, but you're right. We won't do it.

And no one will cry any tears if you leave. So go. Sequester yourself, and hopefully we never have to hear from you again.

Although I won't hold my breath that this will be the last of you.
