With all due respect...
...STFU, Cindy.
During the month of August, when Cindy Sheehan held her so-called vigil in Crawford, Texas and danced in her son's blood beneath the lights of the "un-biased" mainstream media's cameras, I remained silent. I did this out of respect for her right to stage her protest. Did I agree with her what she was saying? No, but I supported her right to protest nonetheless.
As time wore on, it became clear that her "vigil" was nothing more than a grand media-whoring episode. Ms. Sheehan's activities transformed from being the public protest of a grieving mother into the Liberal Talking Point of the Day. It was no longer the grieving of her son, whom she lost in Iraq. It became a "Blame Bush For Everything That Goes Wrong In The World" fest.
Ms. Sheehan blamed the death of her son on Bush's "war for the Jews," or the "illegal war for oil," etc. All of a sudden, in mid-sentence, it was about global warming and Kyoto, "stolen elections," or whatever else was determined to be the "gripe of the day."
As the blood dance continued, I became disgusted with Ms. Sheehan's antics. She was using her son to become the public mouthpiece of every bit of half-baked leftist tripe fed to her by her masters at MoveOn.org. Still, I kept my silence out of respect for her right to freedom of speech.
I can remain silent no longer; the hypocrisy has become too much to tolerate.
Just as the military began to enter New Orleans, I made a joke about how some on the Left would complain about "Bush's unilateral invasion of New Orleans."
Lo, and Behold:
In her most recent blog entry at the Huffington Post, Ms. Sheehan calls for Bush to "...pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq."
Back the fuck right up here: "...pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans...." What the royal fuck is this bullshit? First, people are complaining that Bush didn't send in the National Guard fast enough all the while completely ignorning the fact the president cannot dispatch military forces into an area without the permission of the state governor. Now, after the military has been dispatched to provide relief in the affected areas, it's being called an "occupation" of an American city.
What are you doing to help, Ms. Sheehan? Are you on the ground with the troops providing food, water, and transportation out of the city? No. You're at "Camp Casey III," some 30 miles away, with your entourage, your makeup artists, your cameramen, and your puppetmasters.
Ms. Sheehan, your antics have dishonored your son and the friends and comrades-in-arms who served with him in the military. Even worse, you have disgraced yourself and have brought embarassment to your entire family. If you possess even an ounce of shame, you will shut the fuck up and allow the "occupiers" of New Orleans to do the job they've been sent to do without your shrill and brainless accusations.
