Cindy Sheehan is heroic, to the proportions of Martin Luther King. And the reichwingers smear her, and especially the unAmerican Sean Hannity, who "uses" other families who have had Iraq War deaths, to "pit them" against Cindy Sheehan, and asks these family members he's using, "Why does Cindy Sheehan hate America?" Cindy Sheehan faced the hard TRUTH these people cannot face...needless death in a war of lies by Bushco. The truth hurts, and Cindy Sheehan faced the truth.

Donating the park to the town, in memory of her son, is such a wonderful thing to do.

Ram , I felt the same way when I read that. This is one classy Lady. I respect and admire her so much. I was lucky enough to meet Cindy last fall after she left Camp Casey to go on her bus tour. She is a tall lady, enough to be intimidating but the Peace and Love that she radiates is astounding. She is also very soft spoken and gentle and gives great hugs. I wish only good things for this woman. She has gone thru something so horrible with such grace and dignity. How can you not respect that. Our peace movement in this country needs her and many more people to stand up and say NO MORE WAR!

The way you describe Cindy in person is the same way I perceive her when seeing her on tv or video clips. I can't think of anyone I've ever known that has had so much compassion grow from so much tragedy.

Cindy speaks for a lot of military families who can't speak up for fear of reprisal. She is using her loss to help others, and I hope GW will finally take notice this visit instead of avoid her and those from the Crawford Peace House.

Thank you, Cindy Sheehan, for speaking for oh-so-many of us who feel voiceless in this country we used to feel at home in. Keep it up! And what a wonderful idea, a PEACE PARK in a town that has become the nexus of global WAR!!
You give us hope...

Here is a memoir of my trip last year down to the camp (link here).
While the fascist preznit is down there vacationing and hundreds are dying, he still wants the right to torture without it being a war crime for him (link here).
Isn't that special?

Her son reenlisted after the start of the Iraq war. Ergo, he wanted to serve in Iraq.
Cindy is smearing her sons memory and putting other soldiers lives at risk buy supporting the insurgency.
Oh, and you are all wasting your lives.

Dear Earthball, please stop spamming the board. I am trying to have an intellectual debate with Nazis.

Comparing Cindy Sheehan to Martin Luther King, Jr. shows such an utter lack of historical perspective, I am almost speechless. Not only is she no MLK, she isn't even comparable to Rosa Parks. The activities of Rosa Parks and MLK brought about real change; Cindy Sheehan is totally ineffectual and an embarrassment to the anti-war movement.

Building a peace movement from a ditch in Texas was quite a feet by itself. Taking it around the world telling everyone know that not all Americans have sacraficed their humanity for some twisted sence of scurity.

Now that Mr. Dingaling has come right out and called us "nazis", is there any chance that we can get him banned once and for all?

Republicans love using third parties to hide their dealings. They're proud of it!
That must mean they can now finally respect Cindy. Now everybody can get along. It's wonderful, isn't it!
