The Forgotten Cindy Sheehan
![]()
She was once the talk of the town and the love of the liberal left. Used by the liberals to push their anti-War and anti-Military agenda, she was invited to all the big events, while receiving high-fives and standing ovations from Hollywood elite morons and attending private parties at the fancy West Side Penthouse homes of some of the biggest liberals, in and out of the media.
My oh my, how times have changed. Cindy Sheehan, the “Peace Mom” and the face of the anti-War movement that helped catapult the Democrats back to power in the House and Senate in 2006, is now getting the door slammed in her face by the very same people who once held it open for her.
It all started after the 2006 elections with Sheehan actually believing that the Democrats would live up to their campaign promises of “defunding the War” and “Bringing the troops home immediately.”
Then Sheehan noticed something else was wrong. The friendly media that covered her “sit in” protests at the Bush ranch from dawn to dusk were now nowhere to be found when she held the same “sit in” protests at Pelosi’s San Francisco District Office.
Her phone stopped ringing, Hugo Chavez stopped hugging her, and the Hollywood Liberals stopped inviting her over for dinners. The spotlight had been turned off, yet the Iraq War remained ongoing!
Sheehan, realizing what we already knew; that the Democrats were a bunch of lying skunks who used her to further their own political agenda, decided to challenge former best gal pal Nancy Pelosi in the 2008 Primary.
Even after losing, Sheehan still fights against the War and now her anger is aimed at the Democrat controlled White House, House and Senate. She even has plans to protest at the vacation home of Barack Obama next week. But the once friendly media is no longer impressed with her plight:
In an appearance August 18 on WLS radio in Chicago, ABC News anchor Charles Gibson was asked about anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan’s plans to travel to Martha’s Vineyard next week, where she will protest the Iraq and Afghanistan wars while President Obama is vacationing there. Gibson, whose newscast and network featured Sheehan when she led anti-war protests outside President Bush’s Texas ranch in 2005, answered, “Enough already.”
I guess to them, the War is acceptable now that the Democrats are paying for it and Obama is in charge of planning it.


























I feel terrible for her as she lost her son. But this isn’t about her son anymore. It is about her lost celebrity and her attempts in vain to recapture it. Hell, she even tried to make herself an elected official, the ultimate act of self-importance.
So sad. But Charlie is right. It’s time for her to go home.

Cindy, get it through your head that you were used, you allowed it to happen, and go away.

August 22nd, 2009 at 8:30 pmI believe the point Mike Illions is making is that because (unfortunately) we have a Democrat as president, the Left-wing media will not report the other side of the story. Sheehan has by no means given up her anti-war stance, yet somehow the media can’t bear to reveal that Sheehan is the same person, regardless of who is in the White House. And as long as the wars rage on, she’ll be out there protesting. But it’s no longer newsworthy because they can’t bash Bush. In a nutshell, they’re hypocrites.
Mike,
Thanks for pointing out an obvious example double-mindedness.
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:04 pmCan’t blame Cindy for getting on Obama, for he campaigned more so than Hillary to end the wars, and they continue on. Where’s the others militant paceniks who harassed Bush? At least Cindy is consistent, if nothing else.
