It has been 10 days since I first posted on Cindy Sheehan, and after sticking my neck out and taking massive amounts of ongoing abuse and ridicule for giving her the scrutiny she deserves, I am more than happy to let others pick up the slack.

Byron York highlights just how radical Sheehan and her anti-war friends are (her anti-Afghanistan war views were noted earlier here.) Ronald Griffin, a grieving parent who supports the war, talks back to Mrs. Sheehan in the Wall Street Journal. The Move America Forward caravan hits Crawford next week. Drudge, who broke the MSM silence about Mrs. Sheehan’s shifting stories, follows up here. (Photo at Bare Knuckle Politics.)

And the band plays on.

Mark McMorrow sums up the spectacle of this endless summer of Cindy:

With the usual suspects of the left falling in line behind her, checkbooks in hand and with the full weight of their useful idiot membership to bear, the nation and the world will be forced to endure the incessant drone of Vietnam comparisons, ‘Bush Lied’ chants and renditions of ‘Imagine’ that have the physical effects of a dose of Ipecac.

Milblogger Jason at Warrior Voice, who is deploying for his second tour in Iraq, writes:

As I near the date I am to return to Iraq I can’t help but listen at amazement of these people on the left. Of course it is not all on the left. There are many who believe that since we are there we need to do the right thing and finish the job. However, there are those on the left who I believe want more troops to die so they can say “see I told you”. It is as if they are on the same side of the terrorists. Of course I don’t believe they agree with the terrorists action, although there are various groups who compare terrorists to the minute men of the American revolution. However, they have one goal and it is for the United States to lose the war in Iraq and the War on Terror. I’m sorry for Cindy Sheehans lose but she is doing nothing but taking the honor the honor away from that young man. If she was my mother I would be embarrassed and ashamed…

And speaking of abuse, Larry Johnson’s comments about Charles Krauthammer are disgusting. (Via Angry in the Great White North.)

Late afternoon update: Cindy Sheehan has received bad news. Very sad.
