As I do, Sheehan believes that the Bush admin. is running a criminal administration that has broken with the trust of the American people and has committed multiple war crimes. Her outrage at the loss of her son at the hands of these criminals is expressed appropriately. Your defense of this administration and your attack on Sheehan is not appropriate or responsive to the evidence of their lies, distortions, and violations of international law and conventions, stevo.
And all i did was call her nuts, in so many words. neither she nor her actions get me as pumped up as you about this whole thing. The woman lost her son, I know, and so she is rightfully distressed. But that doesn't change my opinion of her. In my eye she is just one more liberal nut with an axe to grind. I have no problem with her protesting, thats her right. The media coverage is a waste of time. There are plenty of anti-war protesters, she just has the biggest mouth at the moment, does that make her right?

I can't even believe I'm wasting my time posting about her.
