Cindy Sheehan and one of her intrepid supporters at the main entrance of City Hall during today’s primary election:
(She had at least two other boosters in the area talking with potential voters at this very moment.)
Cindy has been running against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the past eleven months, to the consternation of some. Back in the day, one wag called pushing for impeachment of George W. Bush the “Dumbest Move the Dems Could Make.” Shirley Golub and Cindy Sheehan obviously disagree with that.
But Nancy seems to be weathering this storm well:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in her 10th term, easily beat back local Democratic activist Shirley Golub in San Francisco’s 8th Congressional District. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Pelosi had 89 percent of the vote and Golub had 11 percent. Peace activist Cindy Sheehan is making plans to challenge Pelosi as an independent in November but was not on Tuesday’s primary ballot.

Since the hard-core pro-war, Bushies have become an endangered species, I have to assume all of you have made to this site to show the world that people have not evolved very far, at all. Thanks, Mouth Breathers, for reminding us what makes you tick. Hate, with no thought.
The Ditch Witch is nothing more than your typical left-winger; individuals who view themselves as being the intelligensia regarding events and issues they can’t even begin to comprehend. Nice side show, good for a few laughs, but ultimately to be marginalized and kicked into a corner. Thus is the life of a liberal.
Adios, Cindi Lou. Now that you served your purpose, Democrats/liberals could care less if you fell over dead.
Cindy Sheehan is just further proof that the far left can equally be as goofy as the far right. She’s standing on her brave dead son’s grave only to promote her leftist political agenda. The only good thing is that she hasn’t got a chance in Hell in defeating Nancy Pelosi. I mean even in San Francisco there just aren’t that many crazy people! The sooner she crawls back into the woodwork with the other termites the happier most of us will be!

Where were all those peace activists, war protestors, Bush haters, crazed movie stars and Democrats who turned Cind Sheehan into an icon. I guess the parade’s passed her by now that she is of no further use. Poor Cindy, whom I think was deranged by her son’s death, would only get a reaction if she posed a serious threat to Pelosi and then the hate filled nut case Blogs like Kos and Huffington and the Democratic Party hate machine (you know the one that knifed Hillary and Bill) would go into full gear to destroy her. My advice is “Go Home” and try to pick up the pieces of your life.
AntiFreep I have an idea why don’t you go live in a country with a brutal oppressive regime and see how long it takes for you to be horrified, flee the place and thank God that there is at least one person in this world standing up to terrorist bastards and their backers. Hate doesn’t make me tick, denying people their right to freedom does. Common sense obviously is not your strong point.

The liberals here can write “hate, hate, hate” until your fingers fall off, but the fact remains that the Republicans didn’t use Cindy, Democrats and far left liberals did. They also exploited her hero son for their own purposes.
Casey was not forced to join the military. He did it because he thought he was protecting his family and fellow Americans. And he was.
His mother allowed herself to be exploited by the far left to the extent that at a speech given at Berkeley, questioners in her audience forced her to say, during a Q & A, that Casey was just another murdering soldier. (paraphrasing) And she said it. It was on YouTube. This was the ultimate treason.
I won’t condemn her for that and her anti-American actions. I think that will be taken care of in the future.
She has paid the highest price anyone could, she can say what the hell she wants to!
Her SON ‘paid the price’ so she can say what she wants. We have NO obligation to take any notice of her. That, too is part of ‘the price’.
Idiots come and idiots go. It is time for this idiot to go.
Cindy went to Egypt in Feb 2008 in support of the Muslim Brotherhood and Cindy noticed that they did not shake her hand.
How much lower can Cindy go? She can take a ship to Gaza, I hear that one is leaving in August 2008. That would just about sum it all up for her and Gaza.
That picture was taken early in the day. The campaign was gathering signatures to get Cindy on the ballot for November. More than 300 people signed on that day. The overwhelming feedback we get out on the campaign trail is that a majority of the people in SF and the country are tired of Nancy Pelosi. Thank you for the opportunity to respond
Mmmm …. hellloooo!!
Let me say this slowly: Conservatives – should – vote – for – Cindy – Sheehan.
Sign the petition.
It doesn’t take Karl Rove to figure it out, does it?
Is it possible that I am the anly rational individual to think of this? Any conservative who has the intestinal fortitude to live in the eighth district should immediately go sign that petition and do everything they can to get Mother Sheehan on the ballot.
Do the words “Operation Chaos” mean nothing to you?
In April, 2006, I met Cindy Sheehan at the Santa Barbara memorial on the beach, where, each Sunday, they observed “Arlington West”, by placing white crosses on the beach to represent the war dead. I don’t know, but I think that by now there isn’t enough beach space left for all the crosses.
I was visiting my daughter, from New Jersey and we happened upon the event while touring. Having lost a daughter when she was 25, I went up to her and told her that I, too, was a mother of a child who died too soon, although not in the armed services.
I still feel the squeeze of her hand in mine, and her hug of blessing and understanding as the mother of a deceased child. She had just finished addressing a large crowd on the beach, where she read a letter written by Casey’s sister.
She was wearing her safari hat, as as I looked into her eyes I felt love and compassion that I won’t ever forget.
Whatever anyone thinks of her stand and actions is totally overshadowed by the god-like love of a mother whose child is dead and who finds the strength and grace to get out of bed in the morning.
