The Ghouls of Crawford
(h/t akijikan)
Transcript of a call from a Camp Casey visitor to the Rush Limbaugh radio show, picked up mid-call:
RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa. You spoke with who?CALLER: With Cindy Sheehan.
RUSH: You spoke with Cindy Sheehan? Did she cuss you out?
CALLER: No, but I gotta tell you: if they find out out there, they're not the nice people that CNN is showing. I saw them go over and just about attack a young girl who was very distraught because her brother had died in Iraq, and they had all those crosses up, and his name was on the cross. So the mother and the sister came out to remove that. They didn't want him to be a part of that, and so they encircled her, tried to stop her from being able to get the cross, she finally did. They were just about at the point of attacking her, told her that her brother was a murderer, that he had killed innocent people, and that he died for nothing.
What kind of person would use the memory of a fallen soldier as a prop in a bit of political theater, and then have the audacity to attack a family member who did not want him used in that manner? Several descriptive words and phrases come to mind, but I'll refrain from using them here.
If we look into the hearts of those protestors gathered in Crawford, what would we find? Will we find people who care about the lives of our soldiers, or will we find people more worried about other things? Are we confronted with people who truly care about Cindy Sheehan, grieving mother?
It is a sad irony that Casey Sheehan would not be welcomed at the camp that bears his name.
Note: The feeling of ownership of the dead by anti-war protestors does indeed exist.
I heard this on Rush's show the other day. I wish Fox would stop running stories about this witch and her ilk.

This is a PG/ PG-13 rated blog, Uzi. No more F-bombs, please, as they do nothing to further the conversation.
Posted by: Confederate Yankee at August 19, 2005 01:57 PMMichael, the caller to Rush's show said he was a photograqher. I was hoping Rush would ask him if he had any photos of his visit to Saint Cindy and the thugs waylaying family members objecting to the exploitation of their fallen soldier.
Perhaps a poor word choice UZI, but I know where you are coming from. There are more than a few of us out here that are appalled by this Sheehan woman who works openly for the defeat of this nation in war, emascualting our leadership and military and making us more vulnerable to evil.
I can't imagine how much lower the left will sink, then when I wrote "Absolute Moral Authority Corrupts Absolutely" http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/#112443880052076238
Using the names of fallens soldiers, their memory and honor, as a political prop without the permission of the family is a new low.
Michael Moore would be proud.

They, the anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-American, anti-everything-sacred leftists are morally dead so it's no wonder that they related to the dead. Of course, if the dead had a choice they would choose not to associate with them.
