Right, they did it for the children...speaking of children, I received this e mail, maybe others already knew this, but it was news to me..She didn't even raise her own son!!!! Some mother she was!


Cindy Sheehan
Read about her background and who raised her soldier son.....

_____________________

What is most interesting is that the press gives this little bunch of people who are protesting with Cindy so much air time without discussing Cindy's background.

This is a case of more press bias. It has been pointed out on just a couple of media outlets that Cindy divorced her first husband and left her son with him to be raised while she became a political activist.

She had very little to do with her son in his growing years. She remarried. The 1st husband remarried. The original father raised the son with his new wife.
They miss their son and mourn the loss of his life. They have stated that they are very proud of their son and that they agree with the stance of America in Iraq and on terror. They said that their son was eager to serve and to go fight the terrorists in Iraq. He volunteered. He volunteered. How many news stations carried their interview? Not many. So the son dies in Iraq and then Cindy shows up to make a stink. She gets an audience with Bush. That was not enough. She goes to Crawford and demands another audience. How many news stations carry the ongoing saga of Cindy? Practically all of them. Cindy didn't care about her son. She let another woman raise him. Cindy doesn't care about the other soldiers in Iraq. Cindy cares about her feminist agenda and about using the death of her son to lobby against the war in Iraq. And the press is helping her. Why?

Then 2 days ago, Cindy's 2nd husband filed for a divorce from Cindy. Cindy sounds like a feminist opportunist who did not have the sense of responsibility to even raise her own son.

Sheehan's sister-in-law(?) On 11 August 2005 Matt Drudge made public an email he had received from Sheehan's sister-in-law (and Casey's paternal aunt), Cherie Quartarolo, in which she was quoted as saying:

"We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The
rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect."
