Unhingedness all around us. Some nutball drove his truck through an anti-war display of crosses down at Camp Cindy Sheehan.

Nice to see the far Left finally outraged about the desecration of crosses.

Don’t seem to recall their outrage about this or this or this, though. Or, of course, this.

Update: A closer look at one of the vandalized crosses.

Update II: Did Mrs. Sheehan tell Anderson Cooper the truth last night? Stephen Sprueill at The Media Blog has more.

Here’s an indication of how radical Cindy Sheehan’s views are–and a glimpse into why mainstream Dems won’t go near her. This is from Mrs. Sheehan’s appearance on Hardball (yeah, I know) last night. I will let it speak for itself. Hat tip: Reader R.L. Ward:

MATTHEWS: Can I ask you a tough question? A very tough question.

SHEEHAN: Yes.

MATTHEWS: All right. If your son had been killed in Afghanistan, would you have a different feeling?

SHEEHAN: I don’t think so, Chris, because I believe that Afghanistan is almost the same thing. We’re fighting terrorism. Or terrorists, we’re saying. But they’re not contained in a country. This is an ideology and not an enemy. And we know that Iraq, Iraq had no terrorism. They were no threat to the United States of America.

MATTHEWS: But Afghanistan was harboring, the Taliban was harboring al-Qaida which is the group that attacked us on 9/11.

SHEEHAN: Well then we should have gone after al-Qaida and maybe not after the country of Afghanistan.

MATTHEWS: But that’s where they were being harbored. That’s where they were headquartered. Shouldn’t we go after their headquarters? Doesn’t that make sense?

SHEEHAN: Well, but there were a lot of innocent people killed in that invasion, too. … But I’m seeing that we’re sending our ground troops in to invade countries where the entire country wasn’t the problem. Especially Iraq. Iraq was no problem. And why do we send in invading armies to march into Afghanistan when we’re looking for a select group of people in that country?

So I believe that our troops should be brought home out of both places where we’re obviously not having any success in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden is still on the loose and that’s who they told us was responsible for 9/11.

Update III: Reader Andrew G. writes…

Did you notice in this little snippet of the Chris Matthews interview you posted…

“So I believe that our troops should be brought home out of both places where we’re obviously not having any success in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden is still on the loose and that’s who they told us was responsible for 9/11.”

That’s who THEY TOLD US was responsible?

As if maybe it was someone else? Is Sheehan subtly indicating that she is open to the bizarre 9/11 conspiracy theories?

Oh, yes, indeed, I did notice. I knew y’all would, too.
