Cindy Sheehan - Sleeping With The Enemy
Cindy Sheehan’s son, Casey, despite what media outlets such as CNN and Cindy herself say, re-enlisted after a four-year tour of duty knowing full well that he would be headed for Iraq. Sheehan says that her son was oposed to the war effort, but actions speak louder than words. So what is Sheehan really all about?
I wrote in a previous post that Sheehan was a dupe for radical fringe groups who are using her to promote their own agendas. While the part about fringe groups promoting their own agenda is obviously true, after taking a closer look, Sheehan seems to be a willing participant with some very creepy characters.
A huge part of Sheehan’s followers in Crawford are a contingent of anti-America, anti-Israel, pro-Palestine Liberation Organization activists. Plenty of PLO flags can be seen with this crowd but American flags are nowhere in sight. It’s the people of Crawford who are flying the American flags in front of their homes and businesses. One business is even flying a flag of Israel - an apparent poke in the eye to the activists with the PLO flags.
So what’s the deal with a pro-PLO demonstration going on in Crawford? If, as the anti-war activists claim, the former regime of Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with terrorism, why are these supposed anti-war protesters promoting a known terrorist organization? Look no further than Sheehan and the organization she’s jumped into bed with.
The Crawford Peace House is merely a front organization for radical Islamist activists who’s goal is the destruction of Israel and no doubt, the United States as well. It’s founder and director is one Hadi Jawad, an Iraqi who is pro-Baathist (same as Saddam), a board member of CAIR (a group dedicated to the conversion of the United States to an Islamic state), and a secretary for the American Muslim Alliance (a group with strong ties to two terrorist organizations, Hamas and Hezbollah). Beneath their lip-service to peace is a river of hatred towards the U.S.
And as for Sheehan, the veneer of grieving mother barely hides a soul full of hatred for America. Earlier this year, Sheehan made an appearance at San Francisco State Universtity along with Lynne Stewart, a woman Sheehan refers to as her Atticus Finch (Atticus Finch was the lawyer in the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, who defended a black man wrongly accused of rape). Lynne Stewart has been recently convicted of conspiring with the "Blind Sheikh," Omar Abdel Rahman, the mastermind of the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993. At that event, included in Sheehan’s vile rant was the following line, "This country is not worth dying for."
So much for the "poor little grieving mother" routine.
