Cindy Sheehan as Christ:
We were re-enacting the Stations of the Cross. I was hauling a 12-pound cross on my shoulders, which was Station 12: Jesus Dies. The cross kept getting heavier as we walked along in the high noon Texas sun, but it was not nearly as heavy as the cross that George Bush handed me on April 4, 2004.
March on, Mother Jesus. Don’t let the shooting stop you:
The peace movement is unstoppable, and whether I am shot or quit voluntarily, BushCo is on its way out and peace is on the march even if I am out in front or not.
UPDATE. I am going to be sick.

- It’s funny, how when somebody says “BushCo”, you can just instantly write him off as a jackass with such a high degree of confidence.
By the way, this administration is indeed on its way out. The process is expected to take until early 2009. No doubt she’ll be there to take full credit.

Yes, she will. Despite the likelihood that another Republican will be sworn in.

- After reading that crap, my stomach is upset. What a delusional egomaniac. She is beyond redemption. I don’t know a single soldier (and I guarantee I know a hell of lot more than Cindy ever will) who doesn’t think she is a traitorous bitch. What a liar. Anyone who believes her BS is worthy of contempt. Just another leach on America. In her psychotic rage against George Bush she would be completely happy to see the entire nation go up in flames. She needs to be committed to the nearest psych ward ASAP!
- A 12 pound cross?
So, a small, decorative one? You sure as hell can’t make one big enough for a crucifixion with 12 pounds of any normal sort of wood.
Pansy.
(And, yes, she’s delusional if she’s actually worried about being shot. Or disgustingly cynical if she’s just pretending. But I suspect the former far, far more than the latter.)
- Sigivald is right. A gallon of water is 8 pounds. That’s less than 2 of those.
Someone ought to inform her that Christ didn’t die for our irritability, you know, or our dyspeptic attitude. If she’s going to be Christ, someone get her a 300-pound sucker, preferably from old-growth wood. (Although we could scale that down a bit; victims usually just carried horizontal log—125 pounds.)
Posted by Monroe Doctrine on 2006 04 20 at 02:06 PM • permalink
- But remember, Sigivald, that 12 pound cross kept getting heavier as we walked along in the high noon Texas sun. Why, it must have seemed like it weighed, oh, 20 pounds at least. Have you no compassion?
As for my part, my life is one of frenetic activity – I rapidly move from place to place alone and lonely.
Okay, reaching for the tissue box now. Sniff.
We have an ambitious schedule for the summer Camp Casey romp this year. We will be holding a workshop for young activist training; an International Peace Conference (Imagine, World Peace found in the proximity of Bush’s faux-ranch!); and an International War Crimes Tribunal, where we will petition George Bush to stroll down the road and answer accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
An ambitious schedule indeed. Makes me almost wish I could be there if only to point fingers and snort. Or perhaps to imagine world peace in the proximity of Bush’s faux-ranch. Or even to imagine that there’s no countries (I understand it isn’t hard to do). Why, just imagine all the people living life in peace but for the eeeevil George Bush and his outrageous neo-con smear cult.

- Cindy sees herself as the Jane Fonda of the new millenium. She probably believes she’ll eventually be offered a part in a new version of Barefoot in the Park. Alec Baldwin can play the Robert Redford role. Jacque Chirac can play the Charles Boyer role. It’ll make her a star.
Later on, as a result of public pressure, She’ll disrobe and play Barbarella.

- The self-absorption is simply astounding. Poor Cindy, she describes her life as lonely. Just wait till she’s in her seventies, and her “peace movement” is long forgotten, and nobody remembers who she is, and she’s living in a cardboard box behind the local supermarket because she was too busy saving the world on somebody else’s dime to make provisions for herself.
- I followed the link.
The cool thing about that story is that it’s a TruthOut press release posted on “Scoop Daily News” of which nobody has ever heard. This tells me that nobody but fringe element moonbats and RWDBs give a crap about anything she has to say.
The crap thing about that story is that it’s a TruthOut press release posted on “Scoop Daily News” of which nobody has ever heard. This tells me that whatever gauzy memories are left behind by the puff-piece coverage she got from the MSM, back in her 15 minutes, is all anyone in the mainstream will remember about her. And that’s a drag. Just one time, one of her moronic, delusional, and obviously false tirades should get broadcast verbatim, unedited, on a major TV channel. That would revoke her free pass real damn quick, I bet.Posted by Stoop Davy Dave on 2006 04 20 at 04:10 PM • permalink

- #18–Cindy sees herself as the Jane Fonda of the new millenium.
Oddly enough, even Jane Fonda sees Cindy as the Jane Fonda of the new millenium:
“I wanted to do a tour like I did during the Vietnam War, a tour of the country,” the Oscar-winning actress said Monday. “But then Cindy Sheehan filled in the gap, and she is better at this than I am. I carry too much baggage.”
Carrying too much baggage can be a problem if it’s heavy like that cross.

- I don’t understand. Lib-left atheists and leftist deists hated The Passion of the Christ, but here’s Cindy promoting that film. And the lib-left couldn’t say anything bad at all about Brokeback Mountain, but Cindy shows her hate for cowboys. (Maybe he was a shepherd on horseback, after all, and not a “cowboy”.)

- The Cindy movement is an arm of the cross America has to bear. It is the reason the USA is regarded as bound to fold in a crisis – i.e. whenever soldiers are killed.
If the Democrats continue to encourage them by pandering – in the hope that they will win an election via the moonbat peacenik vote – the USA will be stuffed. And that has bad implications for the whole world.
- rhhardin: “I didn’t understand the big deal when Jesus carried the cross, either, a fundamental question not answered in Sunday School, which I attended a lot of.”
It was really REALLY heavy… and they had been torturing him for quite a few hours beforehand. Amazing he could stand after that, let alone carry a large wooden object out of town and up a hill.

Naaa. There are too many of Us and not enough of Them…and their numbers are dropping all the time (abortion, doncha know).
If only 30% of the population wanted to rock and roll, thats 100 million people…the cranky armed percentage to boot. The Media is trashed and the moonbats are embarassing to the rest of the country.
I can list about 10 things about Bush that piss me off, but getting a hummer from an intern isn’t one of them. He can be so very wrong – but at least you know where he stands. That can’t be said about any current Dem leadership. Their strategy of “anti” is just that – it’s not a policy.
- I also read the article (yech!!!) and one thing stood out to me: she talked about “flashing the peace sign”. Now, I know that this is probably not a big deal to anyone else, but it bothers me that the spineless, appeasement crowd has co-opted the perfectly honorable V for Victory of WWII as their own. Most kids don’t even know that it ever was anything else except the peace sign. Once it was how Winston Churchill chose to be photographed and people worldwide knew that dot-dot-dash was the symbol of resistance to tyranny.
I am saddened that it is now only associated with the stench of Patchouli.
I am saddened that it is now only associated with the stench of Patchouli.
Patchouli, a versatile essence used for several hundred years and an important part of nearly every classic perfume, has also been co-opted by these people, in much the same manner as the Victory sign. Sadly, both the scent and the name patchouli conjures up images of unwashed white dreadlocks and people trying to cover up the smell of marijuana smoke. A combination of these associations, coupled with the fact that hippies use both lower quality, un-aged oil and used too much of it, has turned too many people against this complex and evocative scent. Let’s take back patchouli!
- BushCo is on its way out
I predict that on precisely January 20, 2009, George Bush will cease to be President of the United States and will be required to vacate the White House—not a day sooner or a day later.

Rove: Oh, we have her on round the clock surveillance because of the threat she imposes. Last I heard she was walking across the Pacific, carrying a lightweight cross to Australia.

Teach her to use her head for something other than a hat rack. Beat some sense into her. Paddle her britches.
But important enough to shoot? Nope.
Damn, she’s so banal all she inspires are clich�s. She isn’t worth the use of any actual brain cells. My only problem is that I keep needing to spit the whole time I’m reading about her.

- I have a horrible feeling that I had sex with this creature in the back of a psychedelic van on Mt. Tamalpais in 1968 during an acid, pot, and alcohol-induced blackout. Of course she was younger then. Not better-looking, mind you, just younger. When I came to and found out who I had been with, I needed hospitalization. I was having out-of-mind experiences (while everyone else was having out-of-body ones) and had to be placed in custodial care for some weeks afterward. Seeing this picture gave me horrible acid flashbacks, and I’ve reserved a spot at Betty Ford for the summer. That is unless a miracle is wrought during my month in Oz in May.
- A bit of trivia: In V for vendetta “V” says that the fireworks on 5 Nov celebrate guy fawkes’ attempt to blow up Parliament House….
in actual fact, the fifth of November (Guy Fawkes tried to blow up parliament house on the 25th) is remembrance of the beacon towers lit on the hills to warn London and Queen Elizabeth 1 of the approach of the spanish armada waaaay back when. I forget the reason it was renamed Guy Fawkes day, but it was some sort of rovian plot as I vaguely recall. Perhaps it was at the suggestion of wronwright in the time machine…..
The original meaning of course, was recalled in the novel ‘The Return of the King’ and gloriously recreated in the film of the same.

In 1980 Islam was regarded by these types as a hip religion a la Phoona /Guru/Bagwan.
And the controller was a Hitler clone, a Stalin Clone at that time would have been politically incorrect in the eyes of “academic” film critics.
Today they would have turned him into a Bush clone a la Stanley Kubrick.
