RUN CINDY, RUN!

This is too good.
Cindy Sheehan believes that the radical Leftist Senator Dianne Feinstein is "a Republican in Democrat's clothing."

That gives you an idea of just how far over the liberal edge Sheehan is. To her, Feinstein is a Republican!

I guess that would follow, given that Sheehan hangs out in the most extreme lefty socialist circles and considers Hugo Chavez one of her buddies.

Now,
"matriot" Sheehan is pondering a run for the U.S. Senate to challenge the so very conservative Feinstein.


CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- American peace activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, said Saturday she is strongly considering running for office against U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein because the California lawmaker will not support calls to immediately bring the troops home.

Sheehan, 48, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., accused Feinstein of being out-of-touch with Californians on Iraq.

"She voted for the war. She continues to vote for the funding. She won't call for an immediate withdrawal of the troops," said Sheehan, who gained international attention when she set up a protest camp near U.S. President George W. Bush's Texas ranch last year.

"I think our senator needs to be held accountable for her support of George Bush and his war policies," she added.

Feinstein's campaign manager, Kam Kuwata, went on defense, insisting that Sheehan is wrong, that Feinstein doesn't support Bush or his Iraq war policies. In spite of that, Kuwata didn't exhibit much concern over the thought of Feinstein having a political face-off with Sheehan.

Even Sheehan admits that she doesn't stand a chance. It would be another publicity stunt.
..."If I decided to run, I would have no illusions of winning, but it would bring attention to all the peace candidates in the country," she said. "And I know I would be able to at least have some influence on policy."

...In a speech to more than 100 activists on Friday, Sheehan said Bush "should be tried for war crimes" and asked: "How many more American troops are going to be killed while we sit here waiting for spineless public officials to do something?"

Sheehan said she would head to Washington Sunday for protests against Bush's State of the Union address on Monday, and then return to California to discuss her idea of running against Feinstein with her son and two daughters.

I guess Cindy isn't happy unless she's making headlines.
Another AP story relays that Sheehan "plans to protest again outside President Bush's Texas ranch, Venezuela's president said Sunday with Sheehan by his side."

Hugo Chavez, his arm around Sheehan's shoulders, told a group of activists that Sheehan had told him that during Holy Week, in April, "she is going to put up her tent again in front of Mr. Danger's ranch."

"She invited me to put up a tent. Maybe I'll put up my tent also," Chavez said, to applause from activists invited to his weekly broadcast on the final day of the leftist World Social Forum.

Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in 2004, thanked Chavez for "supporting life and peace" and she was impressed by his sincerity.

"He said, 'Why don't I run for president?" she said. "I just laughed."

I'm laughing, too.

Can you imagine Chavez joining Sheehan in her Crawford ditch during Holy Week? I can.


The lib media, Old and New, are probably drooling over the prospect.

Speaking of "supporting life and peace," I wonder how Sheehan feels about Hamas winning the elections in the Palestinian Authority. I would assume that she's quite pleased with the outcome since she shares their anti-Israel mindset.

Remember these Sheehanisms?

"Am I emotional? Yes, my firstborn was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel."

"What they're saying, too, is like, it's OK for Israel to have nuclear weapons. But Iran or Syria better not get nuclear weapons. ... It's OK for Israel to occupy Palestine ... for the United States to occupy Iraq, but it's not OK for Syria to be in Lebanon. They're a bunch of [expletive] hypocrites."


"But now that we have decimated the country, the borders are open, freedom fighters from other countries are going in, and [U.S. troops] have created more terrorism by going to an Islamic country, devastating the country and killing innocent people in that country."

Ah, yes. Terrorists are "freedom fighters" in Sheehan's world. Do Sheehan's "freedom fighters" support life and peace?

I have never heard Sheehan condemn the terrorist attacks on Israel. If she has spoken out against the slaughter of Israeli citizens by Hamas, I missed it.

It appears that the "Peace Mom" is very selective when it comes to supporting life and peace.

I wouldn't think that Sheehan's anti-Semitic tinged stuff sits well with Feinstein.

I really hope Sheehan runs for the Senate. The more time she spends in the spotlight, the better.

Sheehan would not only be a problem for Feinstein in the 2006 race; she would be a problem for all Democrats, all those so-called mainstream, "tough on terror" Dems.
RUN CINDY, RUN!

What a joke........I'm no friend of DiFi's, but I hope she absolutely crushes her.

But I also hope along the way Cindy gets as many chances as possible to make an ass of herself.......Which shouldn't take much.

"Matriot", huh? I actually like it. I'm into Latin wordplay, and should have thought of it myself. I think Michael Moore's definition of it is as wrong as is his definition of what a patriot is. I wouldn't mind taking ownership of that word away from him.

Mary, I thought Cindy was behind us. But since she's back in the spotlight, I think I'll update the video I made of her and post it by this weekend.

I don't get why the Left wants to keep Cindy out there as the voice of the anti-war movement.

She has so much baggage to discredit her.

I thought she was going to fade away, too. Obviously, that's not on her agenda.
