'Good-bye America ... you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can't make you be that country unless you want it," she said. "It's up to you now."

It always was "up to you". All she did was make a laughing stock of the anti-war effort. I liked the part where she said she's going back to be a mother to her surviving kids. I hope they didn't require much attention as she was busy intentionally getting herself kicked out of state of the union addresses and prancing around Crawford. Actually though, I think those kids are better off not having that ego-maniac around.

I would make the usual suggestion that you go work for faux 'news', but considering how outrageous your dissemination of misinformation is, I'd have to suggest you go work for Bush directly.

And you must not like Denver very much, because the reason why many of us write IraK with a K, and pronounce it similarly [exaggerated accent], is because we despised our orders so much. But then again, in your case, it's most likely just a hatred for the English language. Carry on, you lil nugglet.

First of all, the fact that you cannot comprehend the difference between your t-shirt being allowed during a capitol hill tour and her trying to walk into a state of the union address to make a protest does not surprise me one bit. These rules existed before Bush, rumplestilskin. She never intended to get in. She wished to get kicked out and make it seem as though it were Bush's administration that did it. Secondly, you accusing of everyone of a lack of understanding of the English language is laughable. When you say "irak" it is you who are not speaking English.
It is not the proper spelling, Iraqi's do NOT spell their country that way. The arabic use العراق and the kurdish use عيَراق
They do not use the fucking roman alphabet. There is no "proper" way to spell it using our letters. "Irak" is not the proper spelling unless you're speaking some other language that happens to also use the roman alphabet.(Turkish perhaps, you rotten queef?)
I'm guessing a major percentage of your brain power is spent remember to breathe.

Most hilarious thing is ... and I pull this from memory, not wikipedia [idiot] ... is that they had to throw a lawmaker's wife out as well. A Republican. She had a support the troops or we're with the troops or something to that effect ... but BECAUSE they had clear orders to take Sheehan away, they had to take her away as well, you know, to seem that it was a legit rule.
Sure, legit rule that the ruling party just made up on the spot.
And my shirt was a protest shirt.

The only thing I needed wikipedia for was to copy and paste the arabic word. Do you really think it's that hard?
And I remember the republican woman too (your memory's not that impressive). They took her away for the same reason they took sheehan away. You unbelievable retard, it wasn't to make the rule "seem" legit. It was because the rule WAS legit. Jesus christ you're fucked in the head.
And you're a fucking liar about the protest shirt. You know you are.

Subject: Let's Keep Fighting for Cindy Sheehan
Date: Wed, 30 May 2007 02:21:03 -0400
Today Cindy Sheehan "retired" from the anti-war movement after leading the fight for two years with every piece of her heart and soul.
Cindy wrote: "Good-bye America… you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can't make you be that country unless you want it. It's up to you now."
Sadly, America needs Cindy more than ever. Eight more Casey Sheehans died today in Iraq, leaving eight more grieving Cindy Sheehans back home. Sgt. David Safstrom of the 82nd Airborne told the NY Times, "What are we doing here? Why are we still here? We're helping guys that are trying to kill us. We help them in the day. They turn around at night and try to kill us."
Cindy lost heart after a few dozen "Bush Democrats" voted with virtually every Republican to keep Bush's criminal occupation going forever.
And it's easy to lose heart when we put our time and money into electing anti-war Democratic majorities, only to have those majorities betrayed by a few dozen "Bush Democrats" who are bribed by powerful defense contractors or intimidated by Karl Rove's political henchmen.
But we cannot afford to lose heart because May's total deaths of U.S. troops hit 114, the highest since Cindy began her anti-war campaign and the third highest of the war. And at the current monthly rate, 2007 will be the deadliest year for U.S. troops in the four years of Bush's criminal occupation.
So all of us must pick up the torch that Cindy laid down and find a way to end this war. But how?

Sheehan Announces House Candidacy
By SUDHIN THANAWALA
Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A tearful Cindy Sheehan cited her son, killed in Iraq, as her inspiration as she announced her candidacy Thursday for the U.S. House against Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
Sheehan last month said she intended to run against Pelosi, the House speaker, if the San Francisco congresswoman didn't move to impeach President Bush by July 23.
Sheehan said Thursday that Pelosi had "protected the status quo" of the corporate elite and had lost touch with people in her district, most of whom, she asserted, want American troops out of Iraq.
Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for Pelosi, would not comment on Sheehan's candidacy but said the speaker has always opposed the war in Iraq and has focused on bringing troops home "safely and soon."
After her 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in 2004, Sheehan gained international attention by setting up camp outside the president's Texas ranch and demanding to meet with him.
On Thursday, Sheehan said her son inspired her to run against Pelosi, who has represented San Francisco in Congress since 1987.
"The country is ripe for a change," said Sheehan, who spoke at a podium with her son's photograph attached to it. "It's going to start right here and right now."
Sheehan said she would run as an independent on a platform of universal health care, making college affordable and improving ethics in the legislative and executive branches. She did not offer specifics.
The money being spent on the Iraq war should be used to help the country's shrinking middle class, she said.
Sheehan said she had no funds for a campaign but planned to immediately start raising money. She said she wouldn't accept money from corporations.
Daniel Ellsberg, the former high-level Pentagon analyst who in 1969 leaked the Pentagon Papers to Congress and the media and a Sheehan supporter, said Sheehan has a difficult task.
"At the moment, facing a well-funded, powerful incumbent without party support, the odds against Cindy appear insuperable," said Ellsberg, who was arrested twice with other protesters outside Bush's Texas ranch.
"But we plan to change that."
