Cindy Sheehan, the woman whose soldier son was killed in Iraq and who is now camping by a road in Crawford, Texas demanding a meeting with President Bush, on Wednesday thanked a group of antiwar bloggers for supporting her, saying that without the Internet, America would be a "fascist state."
"This is something that can't be ignored," Sheehan said during a conference call with bloggers representing sites like democrats.com, codepink4peace.org, and crooksandliars.com. "They can't ignore us, and they can't put us down. Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."
"Our government is run by one party, every level," Sheehan continued, "and the mainstream media is a propaganda tool for the government." Sheehan also called the 2004 presidential election "the election, quote-unquote, that happened in November."

I believe Cindy is trying to get a job at Indymedia. Cindy, better put on your tin foil hat, and do watch out for those cellphone towers.

This woman makes me sick. I think she is actually glad her son died. She is basking in the lime light. Her 15 minutes of fame. How low can you go.
I understand her relatives do not feel the way she does. In fact they feel she is misbehaving and just playing to the leftist anti government crowd. Shame on her. She defiles the memory of her son. In addition. She already has met with the president some time ago and was kissing his ass then. I guess she didn't get enough attention that time. Just because your son is a hero doesn't mean your not a bitch.

As the parent of a service member I can't think of many more things to do than she has done to dishonor her son. What a disgrace to his memory!

Don't hate the messenger, just the message.
Despite not liking her message, you should remember this women has experienced a terrible loss, and as such has been manipulated into changing her story.
I despise those whom would prey on someones vulnerability after such a loss, and use it to further their own agenda.
may she find peace.

For someone in the throes of agony, she sure loves propaganda whoring for the camera. Can anyone else smell that? Smells like a book deal in the wind to me...

I think this stopped being about Cindy Sheehan's son and began being about Cindy Sheehan some time ago. One can sympathize with the grief, but only short of the point at which that grief becomes mere mindless hatred. She is dishonoring the memory of her son, and cheapening the his sacrifice. Furthermore, she is playing into the hands of those who have more sympathy for his muderers than for the fallen soldier himself.
