Cindy Sheehan

Ok so the press is all over covering Cindy Sheehan out trying to get a meeting with President Bush. What they won't tell you is she has ALREADY met with him and before she was being used as a propaganda tool by the dumbascraps she had nice things to say about him.
Here are parts of the article from The Reporter her local newspaper on June 24 2004
Since learning in April that their son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, had been killed in Iraq, life has been everything but normal for the Sheehan family of Vacaville. Casey's parents, Cindy and Patrick, as well as their three children, have attended event after event honoring the soldier both locally and abroad, received countless letters of support and fielded questions from reporters across the country.

But none of that prepared the family for the message left on their answering machine last week, inviting them to have a face-to-face meeting with President George W. Bush at Fort Lewis near Seattle.

"We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled," Cindy said. "The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached."
The 10 minutes of face time with the president could have given the family a chance to vent their frustrations or ask Bush some of the difficult questions they have been asking themselves, such as whether Casey's sacrifice would make the world a safer place.
But in the end, the family decided against such talk, deferring to how they believed Casey would have wanted them to act. In addition, Pat noted that Bush wasn't stumping for votes or trying to gain a political edge for the upcoming election.
"We have a lot of respect for the office of the president, and I have a new respect for him because he was sincere and he didn't have to take the time to meet with us," Pat said.
Sincerity was something Cindy had hoped to find in the meeting. Shortly after Casey died, Bush sent the family a form letter expressing his condolences, and Cindy said she felt it was an impersonal gesture.
"I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis," Cindy said after their meeting. "I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."
The meeting didn't last long, but in their time with Bush, Cindy spoke about Casey and asked the president to make her son's sacrifice count for something. They also spoke of their faith.

"It's hard to lose a son," she said. "But we (all) lost a son in the Iraqi war."
The trip had one benefit that none of the Sheehans expected.
For a moment, life returned to the way it was before Casey died. They laughed, joked and bickered playfully as they briefly toured Seattle.
For the first time in 11 weeks, they felt whole again.
"That was the gift the President gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together," Cindy said.


Now this was before she was gotten a hold of by the dumbascrap propaganda machine and George Soros.
Of course it is terrible her son was killed by a terrorist while fighting for freedom for Iraqis but the armed services is 100% voluntary. No one is drafting or forcing anyone to join up. Maybe somewhere the mainstream media will actually do a little bit of fact checking before they show a poor mother out in the heat of Crawford texas with 50 people some of whome were just dying to get arrested for more fuel to the propaganda machine. One can hope but I very seriously doubt it. Someone from the press might want to do some checking on where this woman is getting her funding and why the change of heart. Nah that would require real unbiased journalism and we know that does not exist nowadays.
