Leftist radical, a grieving mother

Cindy Sheehan is a mother in pain, someone who many feel has gone unhinged to some extent following the death of her soldier son in the Iraq War.

But was it the death of her son that drove her into the radical leftist camp, as represented by Moveon.org, Code Pink, and the like? Drudge reports on Ms. Sheehan's public comments at a rally in San Francisco on April 27, 2005:

"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!"

and,

"They’re a bunch of f**king 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 bulls**t, 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 s**t in Washington, we will impeach all those people."

Suddenly Ms. Sheehan seems like a less sympathetic person. May God bless her son for his sacrifice.

Contrast Ms. Sheehan with the wife of a fallen soldier from this post.
