Do you remember who Cindy Sheehan is? I sure do. I don't care for the woman, I've never made a secret of that. I am very sorry that she lost her son in a war. I have three boys of my own, and I cannot even begin to imagine what it must be like for her.
However, I believe her son VOLUNTEERED for the role that he took in Iraq. I believe he was not drafted, and had no problem cashing the checks that he was paid to defend our country. I think his Mother has some sort of issue of her own that she needs to reflect on, not the least of which is that she now makes a living dragging around the memory of her dead son. I have lost people close to me. I would hate to dishonor their memories in any way. This doesn't seem to be a problem for Ms. Sheehan.
That being said, why doesn't the media give a rip about her anymore? I have read that she still protests;in fact her main means of support is still from the death of her son. Why doesn't she get the coverage that she did? I'm just spit balling here, but could it be the slow dance in the moonlight that the media still has with B.O.? Is this not his war now? Can we put the blame on him now, when someone is killed while serving their country? I would think that this is even more a point of contention since B.O. swore he would have all of the troops home if he were put in office. Perhaps he didn't know what he was talking about when he was running for office. You would think his one hundred plus days of experience would have readied him for something like this. I guess not.
It's refreshing when examples of the media double standard come along and bite them on the butt. Ask your media outlets why they no longer cover Ms Sheehan. Make note of which side of their face they speak out of. You'll thank me later.
