Wow. This is my first link to the Daily Kos. I never thought this would happen. It is Cindy Sheehan’s article entitled “Good Riddance Attention Whore”. Cindy Sheehan is withdrawing from public life. She is taking her ball and going home. After she had renounced all ties with the Democrat party, she was now being viciously attacked by the same people who made her into a liberal darling.
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?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.”
She still feels her son Casey has died for nothing. I honor Casey Sheehan for his service on this Memorial Day. I pity Cindy Sheehan for being so deluded and misguided. I’m glad she will no longer be voicing her absurd anti-American rantings which apparently nobody appreciates any longer.
