Cindy Sheehan retires

I heared.

Here's her blog post

The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing. His precious lifeblood drained out in a country far away from his family who loves him, killed by his own country which is beholden to and run by a war machine that even controls what we think. I have tried every since he died to make his sacrifice meaningful. Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives. It is so painful to me to know that I bought into this system for so many years and Casey paid the price for that allegiance. I failed my boy and that hurts the most.

a bit of a downer

"bi' uvva downa, guv?"

so tired of politicians complaining about american idol / paris hilton / lindsey lohan etc

i mean yeah yeah not a politician just saying

yeah, its an unnecessary reference/bogeyman

They are representative stand-ins for dumbass American obsessions, particularly since some of you smart folx are interested in them.

Anyway, she's right; sort of a draft, nothing is going to foment an insurrection vs the two war parties.

^ sHort of a draft ^

so that explains why you're such a Rangel fan

I love how "retires" implies that she was ever hired for the job.

Good riddance, moonbat.

the term "retire" does not apply exclusively to employment y'know

But still.

anyway, the movement is way better with her retirement.

it's a good thing someone starts saying the obvious: that soldiers can, and do, die for nothing. next step: start calling the lives lost in Iraq "wasted".

maybe now that she's retired YOU can speak for the movement dandy

xpost

ban jeb

I wouldn't be a good speaker of the movement, bro.

I was just a little put off that you seemed to be doing exactly that when you declared that "The Movement" was better off without her.

("The Movement" in scare quotes only because we can't forget it's a confluence of movements with a variety of opinions, ideologies and goals.)

It's better off without her because she's a dipshit.

funny how nobody ever says the pro-war camp is better off without Rummy because he was a dipshit

it could be because everybody in the administration is a dipshit, though
