| Military Families 'Disgusted' by Sheehan |
| 2005-10-28 |
| (CNSNews.com) - A number of Gold Star military families say they are "thoroughly disgusted with Cindy Sheehan and her publicity stunts." Sheehan was arrested outside the White House this week, during a protest to mark the death of the 2000th soldier in Iraq. Sheehan and other anti-war protesters staged a "die-in," lying head to toe on the sidewalk. Sheehan's shenanigans have offended other Americans who also have lost loved ones in Iraq: "We, the parents and family members of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who have served and given their lives defending America in Operation Iraqi Freedom...are angered that Mrs. Sheehan is once again using our fallen loved ones against our wishes to undermine the cause they voluntarily gave their lives for," Gold Star families said in a press release issued Friday. "Her macabre die-ins in front of the White House do not honor the dead nor do they help the living -- they give encouragement to Al Qaeda to keep killing Americans until we surrender." The Gold Star families complain that Sheehan and others are handing out souvenir bracelets with their loved ones' names on them as bonuses to protesters who join her anti-war crusade. "Her continued abuse of our loved ones makes our blood boil and we demand that she stop trivializing their sacrifices with her tawdry acts," the families said. The Gold Star families say Sheehen and her allies are not peace activists. "They are working to bring about the defeat of America in the war on terror," the families said, pointing to Sheehan's description of terrorists fighting in Iraq as "freedom fighters." "The groups she works with have openly expressed their support for the terrorists and their contempt for this country," the press release said. |

| #10 The more she talks the stupider she and her cause appear to the American people. She has squandered away whatever moral highground she held for two minutes. Let her "die in" continue until someone runs over her with their truck. oops, maybe some "freedom fighters" will peel your carcass off the sidewalk cindy. EP |

| #8 Bardo, while Cindy Shithan and co were in Texas one parent of a soldier had to repeatly go over and remove a cross with their son's name on it which shithan and co. were planting [to celebrate his death at the hands of the 'freedom fighters'...]. There is nothing they won't do. Disgusting doesn't even begin to cover it. Vomiting coyotes don't begin to cover what Shithan and the MSM are doing. There is simply no excuse. Its horsewhipping time.... |

| #7 During the Crawford Campout Sheehan and Comrades put up crosses with the names of dead soldiers. Quite a few families were so angry, they drove down there and took away the crosses with their son's/daughter's/husband's names on them. The next day, the replacement crosses would be be planted with the same names. Of course Sheehan, Code Pink, Social Workers, MoveOn only did this to show their deep respect to the families of the fallen. |

| #6 "The Gold Star families complain that Sheehan and others are handing out souvenir bracelets with their loved ones' names on them as bonuses to protesters who join her anti-war crusade." What an outrage. Using real names without permission of patriot's families. Am I reading this right? American soldiers I love and admire. This total disrespect should be answered. Must be answered. That is not protest that is personal insult. How low can they go? |

| #3 As a former 11BC2, disgusted doesn't even begin to cover my feelings about her. I hope she dies a horrible, gory, slow, painful death and then gets eaten by a coyote and shit off a cliff. |
