The latest email defaming the character of anti-war activist ("Peace Mom") Cindy Sheehan consists of a photo showing the gravesite of her son, Casey, marked with nothing but a small plaque, along with the accusation that she "couldn't be bothered" to purchase a proper headstone. Read more...

Get off of a mothers back, who lost a son, unless you have been there and done that it is impossible to judge. As far as her sons grave site. Where is the goverment. He died for us the USA. We pay for his head stone and ect. Unless the family dosn’t want this. Let him rest in peace. My child would have a head stone if I had to make one personaly. This women is still in shock.
There seem to be SOME people who cannot leave rumors, gossip,assumptions and mind reading intentions or the real story behind a sad story. A mothers son is DEAD. He is not coming back. No headstone ,etc. will ever change that reality. People who have not figured out that this war is a shame and plan for oil, changing the constitution meanings,not caring about the middle class PLEASE read and recognize our media is in bed with this administration except a few who on cable present questions that need answers,The middle class is dying. This administration cares nothing abot you , Watch the great HUGE embasy go up in Iraq and the permanent bases (OUR bases) going up in the war of lies. You look hard, don’t ask the government or gossip. The world has loaned us so much money you,your children and if there are more generations will pay. Cindy Sheehan(I care not for Size of gravesites) is a living tribute to her son. WAKE UP AMERICA….the land we call America is being destroyed by high rollers. More citizens are seeing the truth, God Bless Them! Mary Basombrio, Oregon
your disgusting for even writing this vile crap. leave her alone.
It doesn’t take anything more than her own actions to defame her, while she disrespects her own son’s death. Her son was a proud soldier, who believed in what he was doing. He died proudly for his country. May God bless him and we thank him for his service to this great nation.
Yes This has been proven to be true. It is tragic that a soilder, a human life has been lost. It is tragic a mother must hurt this way. There is no need to rip her to shreds. She is the one who made the lose of her son a public crusade. Unfortunately this also makes her a public target. There are many who do not cause themselves to be put in the public eye, rather are thrown into it. Yet, we pick them apart everyday.
THE ‘POLL’ ON THIS TOPIC IS A JOKE.
IT WOULD BE A LOT MORE ACCURATE IF EACH E-MAIL ADDRESS WOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED TO VOTE ONCE.
THIS “POLL” IS A HOAX AND ISN’T FOOLING ANYONE WITH A IQ ABOVE 50….FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!!!!!!!
It shows that she did not respect what her son was fighting for safty in the usa. my only son signed up to go over there and what he told was “he wanted to make sure i was safe” I love him with all my heart, my pride and blue.
I asked a couple dozen co-workers about the poll results and got back 100% “NOs” so this poll looks fine to me. They all said it’s none of anyone’s business what Cindy does or doesn’t do with her son’s grave! Everyone grieves differently!
One woman’s activities certainly have raised the ire of a lot of people. Now the Jesse Jackson connection is circulating and trying to destroy this woman’s reputation and paint her as publicity hungry as well as a left wing nut. Shame on them all! Leave the woman alone to work out her grief.
I agree with many of the comments made. It is her right to decide how her son is memorialized. I also believe that she has brought shame to her son’s memory with her campaign. As a former soldier who served in Desert Storm and the wife of a man who is currently in Iraq, I am certain that her son would not approve. He believed in what he was doing, and his mother is negating his sacrafice with her campaign.
But, as a mother, I can completely understand her grief, and can not say what I would do in her situation.
I’d like to see this story in the New York Times!!
She is worse than Jane Fonda! Mother’s grief, my foot…. She is doing nothing but “showboating” for her own benefit and interest.
BTW, the family finally placed a nice marker for Casey on May 25th.
I feel for this woman’s grief but I think her actions are misdirected. Protesting the way she has is not going to bring our troops home any sooner. I feel that protesting the war takes away support for the cause and gives our enemies confidence that they will win. How about protesting the greedy oil companies. When have you ever heard of an oil company not making a profit. How about standing at the gas pumps and protesting the gas guzzling vehicles ppl drive unnecessarily. Face it America, we love our cars and we as a nation are greedy for oil.
It is said this war is about bringing freedom to an oppressed ppl. Partly true, but I feel the main reason we chose to liberate these particular ppl was the presence of oil.
I went to Iraq, Saudi and Kuwait during Desert Storm. Not near so big an undertaking as what we are stuck in now but ppl died there nonetheless. I saw ppl die and every death I hear of saddens me.
I challenge everyone to cut their oil consumption by 5-10%. The consumer has the control. Supply and demand. As long as there is a demand the oil companies and ultimately the government are gong to try and meet it.
I salute all our troops and their families. My heart goes out to all who have lost a loved one.
As a Vietnam Vet I was, and am very opposed to this current war. Because, as many other Vets remember, I see this Country has no staying power to win anything. I am sick an tired of all of the oil war crap and WMD lies. When did we stop fighting to win. Put panties on someones head? This is not torture. Oh no, we must fight fair!!!! Screw that, you fight to win!! Which means, you do whatever you have to and “get er done”.
The really sad thing about this war is, within months of us pulling out a new Dictator will take control, and the Religous killing will go on. Yes, it will, because these nuts really don’t like each other. As for poor mis-guided Cindy she is nothing more than a minor pothole in the road to the Iraq War. Cindy is nothing more an insult to her sons valor. It will be people like her, that will force us to cut and run again which means another generation will be lost for nothing. Thanks to all of you Cindys!!!!!!!
It seems to me that this woman, who calls herself a Mother, doesn’t seem to know that you fight for your children while they are alive even harder than when they are deceased. That wasen’t something that she had the desire to do, but yet she accepts money when he is no longer here, and says she is fighting for her son. Come on she is fighting to make a name for herself.. A real mother would have been there everyday, not when it was profitable for her. A real Mother wouldn’t care about that.. Put your son to rest with dignity you ignorant, self centered idiot.
