Cindy Sheehan: Liberal Necrophilia
Figuratively, the term "necrophilia" describes an inordinate desire to control another person, usually in the context of a romantic or interpersonal relationship; the accusation is that the person is so interpersonally controlling as to be better-suited to relationships with nonresponsive people......Virtually all human societies condemn abuse of the dead as a form of symbolic disrespect...
In the analytic social psychology of Erich Fromm necrophilia is a character orientation which shows an increasing tendency toward destructiveness.
Normal mothers don't use their children's graves for a photo op. Cindy... seek help. Now.

That picture is just gross.
Posted by: seawitch at December 14, 2005 06:32 PMYou know what really ticks me off about this? It is not Sheehan she is obviously mentally ill, no it is the MSM and the far left who are using her for their own agenda.
Posted by: Joe at December 14, 2005 06:42 PMShe may very well be a useful idiot for the MSM, but she is a willing useful idiot.
I find this to be a picture of a very pathetic person. The left can try to moralize this all day long; but, it just won't wash.
Posted by: Old Soldier at December 14, 2005 07:23 PMWith book, play and movie deals, why would Cindy try to go back to dealing with her loss in a healthy way? I agree that she is a willing useful idiot. It's too bad, but she has turned a corner and probably cannot go back until she has wrung every iota of publicity out of her son's death.

Posted by: Tom T at December 15, 2005 08:33 AMAny Mom who would exploit the death of her own son like Cindy has should receive pity and then be ignored. This photo is just one more reminder of that.
