Cindy Sheehan: They’re a bunch of f***ing hypocrites!

The more I learn about Cindy Sheehan the more I like her. She's roiling the waters. She has the conservatives throwing fits. Just that makes it all worthwhile.

Camped out near the Bush ranch in Crawford, TX, Cindy Sheehan, in a high profile media blitz, has toned down her rhetoric somewhat in her current protest I guess you'd call it. Last spring, however, at my old alma mater, San Francisco State University, she got into more graphic detail (see the article on The Drudge Report yesterday).

"We are not waging a war on terror in this country. We’re waging a war of terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush!"

"They’re a bunch of f***ing hypocrites! And we need to, we just need to rise up..." Sheehan said of the Bush administration.

"If George Bush believes his rhetoric and his bull****, that this is a war for freedom and democracy, that he is spreading freedom and democracy, does he think every person he kills makes Iraq more free?"

"The whole world is damaged. Our humanity is damaged. If he thinks that it’s so important for Iraq to have a U.S.-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he needs to sign up his two little party-animal girls. They need to go to this war."

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

Having a son die in the Iraq war gives her a lot of traction [1]. I enjoy seeing POTUS and the republican leadership dance around her, and defend her right to dissent at every turn!

[1] During the Vietnam War, disabled/crippled veterans would often be in the front lines of protests. It made it pretty hard for the skinheads, cops, and hardhats to beat on the protestors.
