Cindy Sheehan, Total Fraud

The following is a repost from August 27, 2005:


Cindy Sheehan lost her son in Iraq. And what is her reaction? She blames it on President Bush instead of the Islamo-Arab imperialists trying to destroy democracy in Iraq and has thus camped out near Bush's Texas home hoping for a meeting to presumably tell him off about how he killed her son.

Trouble is it isn't even about her son. It is doubtful she disagrees with the letter one writer got in response to defending the US role in the war. Given that, and given that she's ALREADY met with President Bush (and stated she understands he is sincere about liberating Iraq for its people), it is inconceivable that it is about anything but exploiting her son, who obviously recognized her well-worn leftism as the fraud that it is by going to Iraq.

This is, in a real sense, child abuse. And this is before Sheehan's antisemitism and wholesale endorsement by neo-Nazi groups enters the picture. Then there is the little matter of a characteristic common to leftists - projection. What has emerged about Sheehan's relationship to her son is that he not only recognized her leftism as a fraud, his actions were his way of calling her out on it, for which she obviously can never forgive him.

Between her antisemitism and projection of hatred of her son onto President Bush, there is obviously a need to commit Cindy Sheehan to an asylum.


FOLLOW-UP: The mental illness of Cindy Sheehan is more crazy like a fox than a lot of us could imagine, as shown by her monetary exploitation of her son's death.
