Cindy Sheehan's True Colors

Cindy Sheehan is not much more than a shrill campus radical, as this from Drudge confirms.. One can sympathize with the loss of her son, certainly, certainly agree with her right to protest, but her real radical left roots showed through in a deranged speech delivered last April. Example:

"We want our country back and, if we have to impeach everybody from George Bush down to the person who picks up dog s**t in Washington, we will impeach all those people."

Why is it, by the way, that the far left fringe is always demanding "their" country back? Nothing is more important to them than forcing their extreme minority point of view on the rest of us, and doing it by almost any means necessary. Our family has been enjoying the DVDs of Penn & Teller's Showtime series, "Bulls**t!" One episode deals with animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), highlighting this group's support of arsonists and fire-bombers. The rhetoric is at once irrational, goofy, offensive and just plain scary. These people don't like America, themselves or people in general. And they sound a lot like Cindy Sheehan. Cindy has taken the nobility of a mother grieving for her lost son and turned it into a radical circus, and it's time to recognize this fact.

One of the problems, of course, is that, until Cindy really embarrasses them, the liberal media continue to provide this dingbat with the luxury of national press coverage. And while they do, the less leftward media will continue to run somewhat more balanced coverage. I think they all ought to freeze her out. It's time to stop feeling sorry for this woman and call her what she is. An obnoxious irrational anti-American nut.
