Cindy Sheehan: Down with BushCo–and screw the evil corporate Rose Bowl parade, too!
As promised, St. Cindy stinks up the Rose Bowl parade and delivers an unhinged salvo posted at After Downing Street–complete with BushCo/Hitler epithets, anti-American insults, and Absolute Moral Authority sanctimony:
Since the conquest of Poland three hundred thousand Jews have been murdered in this country in the most bestial way … The German people slumber on in their dull, stupid sleep and encourage these fascist criminals … Each man wants to be exonerated of a guilt of this kind, each one continues on his way with the most placid, the calmest conscience. But he cannot be exonerated; he is guilty, guilty, guilty! — From the second leaflet of the White Rose. [5] ”
My first encounter with the White Rose Society (a small group of Munich University Students who were executed for their opposition to Hitler and the Third Reich) came on my way from Dallas to Crawford, Tx on August 6th, 2005.
I rode from the Veteran’s for Peace Convention in Dallas on the “White Rose,” a bus that had a huge ‘IMPEACH’ written on the side of it. On the bus was a picture of Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans and some of the quotes of the series of 5 leaflets that the Society spread denouncing Hitler from June 1942 to February 1943, when they were caught and executed. They were an obviously brave and moral group of wide awake Germans who sacrificed their lives to try and change the horrible direction that their nation was going in.
Gold Star Families for Peace and the Camp Casey Peace Institute has joined a group called the “White Rose Coalition” that will be carrying a large copy of the Constitution at the end of the parade and the Backbone Campaign’s Chain Gang will be following the parade. Many activists will tag along with our “Impeachment” banners, signs and other means of protest to call national attention to the accountability issue.
Being involved in this particular action has engendered the most hate mail for me since I left the Democratic Party! I am “ruining the parade.” I am the “representation of everything that is evil in the world today.” One woman named Carrie, was “sorry” that my son is dead, but he volunteered to “honor” this country with his service and even though Carrie is no “fan” of Bush (yeah sure), I have really “crossed the line” this time.
First of all, we are not protesting the parade at all, except that it is a symbol of corporate excess and it is my opinion it is not really moral to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on parade floats when people are still being killed in Iraq and suicide rates for our Veterans are skyrocketing because the VA system in under-funded and apparently not a priority for BushCo and Congress Inc
I can’t remember a time in my life where anyone protesting at a parade would have upset me at all, but since Casey was killed in Iraq and since I have faced and witnessed so much violence, oppression and hardship in the world, it is absolutely stunning to me that this protest would create so much vileness and venom. There are so many more important things in the world besides parades and football games. I have also tried to imagine an Iraqi happening to catch a glimpse of the Rose Parade on TV somehow and marveling how everything is so happy and beautiful in America when our nation has utterly devastated and destroyed theirs.
Since the “conquest” of Iraq, over one million Iraqis have been slaughtered or have died from the tragic, but unavoidable consequences of invasion and occupation. BushCo have desecrated our Constitution and the almost complete fascist take-over of our media and the blatant stealing of our freedoms here at home have bypassed many Americans while they are slumbering in our dull, stupid sleep.
Happy New Year to you, too, Cindy.

A reader who watched parade coverage e-mails that “Impeach” signs and anti-Patriot Act signs were visible along the parade route, as well as a Kucinich banner.
Another reader e-mails that many in the crowd stood up to honor Marines as they marched down the parade route, but that TV cameras cut away to show the hosts yammering.

I have finally found the infamous “Vietnam” connection that the MSM has been talking about since day one of OIF….
hhhhmmmm…..
Vietnam Vets had Hanoi Jane, and Winter Soldier Kerry.
OIF Vets have Baghad Cindy, Hanoi Jane, Illiterate Winter Soldier Kerry, Pu**y Sean Penn, and the dimocrats in congress.
So it seems the main connection is that we have traitors and a government that doesn’t have the MRE cajones to do something about them…..(very interesting…)

Mookie: *Yawn* You still talking?
No, they don’t want to hear the truth. If they did, they wouldn’t be Liberals, now would they?
RetFireman: *Yawn* You still ranting?

Your link to Black Hawk Five on the scum lawyer made a difference. It went all over, mostly because this is a much bigger blog and could be broadcast. You brought that to many peoples attention.
I am very sorry about your eldest son and wish you and yours a happy new years.
Here’s my PSP of Sheehan as Peppermint – hopefully…open link in a new window

I do have to say that I think you are wrong here. It will be the dems who ultimately perpetrate this scam in order to prevent the pseudo-conservatives who are left in government from doing it. All of this under the guise of protecting us from the conservative movement and ourselves.
Unfortunately, despite how conspiratorial it may sound, I really can envision these so-called “enlightened” socialist wannabes doing this to us.
Just for the record, (In case you did not know already) many of us share your views about these seditionists.
IMHO

saidbabbled:Do you really think Casey Sheehan, someone who everyone here agrees is a hero, would want people talking about his mother that way, regardless of her bizarre political beliefs? Do you think you’re honoring his memory by hoping his mother ends up drunk, homeless and mentally ill?
Can’t say fopr sure, but I’d hazard a guess (respectfully) that Casey would be embarrassed for his foolish mom…like the rest of her family was….
Cindy Sheehan is a narcissist, in denial, and is acting out a fantasy ideology.
She’s pitiful.
Aren’t her fifteen minutes of fame up yet?
Thank you #99.
Cindy Sheehan is a mother caught in the anger phase of grief. It is easier to
stay there than work through the grief. Plus, look at her face when she is at
a protest. She is enjoying herself. This is her chance to be “belle of the ball”
because these people are using her and she is more than willing to be used.
pajamasmedia.com is running a piece on a NY decision on libel under
shari’a law.
This could severely impact writing and publishing in our country due to the
fact that under shari’a libel law, libel is anything written
that the subject does not like .
TXrose-
The article didn’t link up.
GSP
Let’s try this…
if that doesn’t work try pajamasmedia.com
and look on the left for the link to the article
this is the second time the link hasn’t worked. I don’t
know what I am doing wrong.
Here I am again. Type in pajamasmedia.com.
Two problems with that.
First, CS would use the connection with honoring her son to try to gain some legitimacy for herself. (Think of Reid and the $4.2 million dollar letter he sent to Rush)
We already have Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day to honor our troops.
Couldn’t Bush just start to publicly support and promote the work of Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink and all the rest of those clowns?
As they all suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome then by being supported by the Bush Administration they would have no option but to see themselves as part of the whole BushCo/Cheney/Halliburton extravaganza and start protesting themselves and waving anti-Code Pink placards at their own Code-Pink rallies. Maybe Cindy Sheehan would push for impeachment proceedings against herself?
Yikes! Cindy could be a copy writer for Dr Bronner’s Magic Soaps.
