Momma Sheehan Builds a Platform for Insanity or Hate on Son's Grave
I have been watching the Cindy Sheehan spectacle building out at the Crawford ranch and have been frankly disgusted. I can understand grief over the loss of a child as well as the next person but we all know that what we are witnessing is not as simple as grief. It is either insanity or politics.
If this is insanity then this poor woman needs psychological help not PR help. If she is in the middle of a break down her friends, supporters and various other opportunists are willing to ride this poor woman to the nuthouse or grave for their own political purposes. But as usual everyone else likes to see a good car wreck. My guess is everyone will stand around until she harms herself and then blame Bush for not intervening.
If this is politics it is politics of the most putrid kind. An anti war mom whose son proudly served using his death for her own political platform. Yea, I know, how dare you even think such a thing of this woman in her grief. Let’s just say I have seen too many parents recently drown their own children to think anything is outside the realm of possibility.
Cindy Sheehan has already met with the President once. She has had her say in every news outlet in the land. I am sure the President even knows she is outside making a spectacle of herself. What is left? A visit with the President so she can swear, cry, rant and maybe slap him on the face?
I watch the news and see everyone (including conservatives) tip-toeing around her when they speak with or about her. No one wants to be insensitive. Cindy is beyond the point of needing sensitivity she needs some tough love. Her family needs to step up and get her the help she needs and stop letting others use her or she needs to be called out as the opportunist fraud she is.
I will let those around her decide which it is.
