#4 Let me see now. She's fighting Obama now, so does that make her on our side? That makes my head hurt.

#5 Lenin coined the term "useful idiots". It has much currency and usefulness today.

She's on her side. It's always been about Cindy.

#7 To me one of the benefits of electing Obama (or any Dem) was to make the Dems step up and support the WOT (under whatever name) and necessary measures that are part of that. I think I suggested as such here as early as late 2007.

#8 "I know the Left is"

the sane left has always know the war in Afghanistan is necessary and just. Even most of the Iraq war doves have recognized that any withdrawl could not be sudden, and the US has some interest in the outcome in Iraq. Cindy Sheehan and her pals were never part of the sane left.

Using her? Comes with the territory of being an extremist. Think the GOP congressional leadership etc isn't using people right now? Cmon.

Too bad the people have t pay them off with power to get them to support what's right for the country.

#10 Whether or not the GOP is using people isn't the issue. She used the Media to garner sympathy and be the center of attention and they used her to bash Bush. The irony is she's figured out she is no longer of use to the Left or the Media.

#11 remember her cavorting with Chavez, et al? Die soon, b*tch. Her son Casey was worth a 1000 of her.

Is she nuts? You bet!
