Cindy Sheehan: Useful Idiot

Cindy Sheehan was an August story. In a slow news time her protest outside President Bush's Crawford ranch garnered significant media attention. When you combine little news in late summer and a MSM inclined to attack Bush any chance they get you get the "Mother" Sheehan freak show.

I've been ignoring Sheehan. I figured she would just fade away when here 15 minutes of fame ran out. Too bad for us the Bush-bashing, anti-war Left sees a good thing in her. When President Bush left Crawford a few weeks back, Sheehan started following him like a stalker.

There is something about the company you keep. Sheehan has become an arrow in the quivver of the Stalinist International ANSWER when she is the star of next weekend's anti-war protests in Washington, D.C. These ANSWER people have to always mention the "plight" of cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. What's really disturbing is ANSWER's support for totalitarian regimes like North Korea and Cuba.

Let me make it clear: I'm not opposed to anti-war protests. Not all protesters and Bush-bashers are Communists or support totalitarian regimes. Sheehan's problem is she's said plainly anti-American statements. The most recent was her ridiculous notion that U.S. troops are occupying New Orleans.

I've had it with the America bashing led by a mother who can't accept the free choice of a dead son. The gloves are off. America needs to know more about the Left's latest useful idiot.
