Crawford not rolling out the welcome mat for Mother Sheehan

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) – Like many folks in President Bush’s adopted hometown, 83-year-old Robert Westerfield isn’t exactly rolling out the welcome mat for the town’s newest resident: war protester Cindy Sheehan.

“I wish she’d stay away. Crawford’s a Republican town, and she’s a dumb Democrat,” Westerfield, a lifelong Crawford resident, said Friday while sitting on a bench outside a gas station on Main Street.

Heh. I like that guy.

Considering the deceptive nature of the purchase (not to mention a general disdain for all things moonbat) it’s no wonder some residents are upset with the purchase. More on that deception here:

Gerry Fonseca, a Vietnam veteran who attended the protests in August and April, returned to Crawford in June to help the group look for property.

Fonseca said he doubts that any Crawford landowner would have sold to Sheehan or other protesters, so he didn’t reveal his connection. Fonseca, who lost his Slidell, La., home in Hurricane Katrina, told sellers about that part of his life and that he wanted to build.

More via a local TV station in Texas:

“I feel deceived,” said Celia Ramsey, who sold the land to Cindy Sheehan through a third party. She talked to News Channel 25 exclusively on the matter. “I would have never sold it to Sheehan. Nobody wants them here.”

Bbbbut, as Cindy explains, she had no choice but to buy the land:

“I am very sad it came to this point where we had to buy a permanent home,” said Sheehan. “I thought President Bush would have resigned by now. But I am happy about a permanent home in Crawford.”

Could this whole ‘peace movement’ possibly get any more pathetic?

      Bbbbut…lies are OK if it’s for a good cause! The end justifies the means!

      More pathetic lying from the left, so what else is new?

      Personally, I believe that some of us “rednecks” ought to start protesting at her deceitfully gained property!
      I would not be surprised at all to see pick up trucks and cowboy hats near her place on a regular basis.
      After all, it IS a public road up, to the area that the secret service force you to turn around.
      She truly is not the brightest bulb in the box!
      Bored young rednecks in small towns in the surrounding area, could quite conceivably be a dangerous breed at worst, annoying at best.
      Get a few brews in ‘em and a pickup truck – could be quite interesting!
      I am trying to figure out which parcel it is that she purchased – I am quite sure I am not the only one working on that.
      Mother Sheethead’s circus will be open for business!
      Hope she can take it. :d

      - I’m sure a whole lot of people would be more than happy to put Saint Sheehan in a home permanently.

      - Bang **==

      Can you believe the deception these people are in?? Why would Sheehan think the President would of resigned by now?? Unlike his predecessor GW has no reason to resign. These people are sooooo deceived. – Lorica

      It seems the more lies and crap these slimeballs get caught in the more fired up they get — they are kinda like the hezzbos, as Rush calls em.:-b

    6. Jamie says:

      I thought this was America! You took away her right to protest! What is supposed to do? HER SON DIED! She bought the land fair and square! Show some sympathy and understanding–you all claim to be Christians.

    7. John Tyler says:

      The Left again. If all else fails, deception always prevails! If Kerry were in office she would have had to buy a more expensive piece of property pertaining to where he lives. And lets face it, it would not have mattered of course, who was in office, she would have gone there too, right? I am totally sick of this woman and not proud that she is from my home state either. Although maybe Diane Feinstein could go in halfs with her and we could get rid of her too. If I were her son, and signed up to do my duty, I would be screaming from my grave right now. Some Mother! Too bsd shes not proud enough of his actions of defending our country, instead of using his death as her agenda wagon! I guess Crawford has a new Circus in town…..[-x

      Jamie: Mother Sheehan began her ‘public’ career with lies. And she will not admit her many errors and lies. She claimed GWBush would not talk to her. But he did. It’s on film! She told the media how nice GWBush was and how solicitous to her feelings. Then when the Lefties got hold of her, the story changed.

      She bought nothing ‘fair and square’, Jamie, it was bought by a front man, full of lies about his own travails, to fool the owner into selling. A shell game. Another lie.

      No Christian is required to forever have compassion for a victim of grief. That’s’ not Christianity, that’s insanity. Next time you are inclined to criticize our postion on Mother Sheehan, remember that her son, who died in battle, re-upped after finishing his tour, volunteered for the mission during which he died, and probably would be as embarrassed at his mother’s activities as is much of her family.

      We held back when this started, and waited, until she went over the line. Time’s up!

    9. Severian says:

      Yeah, the evil ol’Republicans and conservatives have taken away Jihad Cindy’s right to protest. Yup, that’s why I still see her mopey, smiling face in the news at least once a week.

      She’s just another pathetic attention whore desperately trying to extend that 15 minutes of fame, and sacrificing whatever dignity and self esteem she might have had to get it. And dishonoring her son’s memory and what he obviously believed in on the alter of “me me me, look at me!” leftist lunacy.

      I sincerely think she has become mentally ill.

    10. - Ann Coulter called the asshat Liberals out on this Marxist ploy of putting forth “morally un-reproachable” talking heads like Sheehan and the Jersey girl’s, in their never ending goal of stifling opposition to their attacks on the Bush administration. That’s why they hate her so.

      - The left are such connivers they’ll use any tactic they can for “the cause”. Must be hell knowing your side is so desperate you have to resort to this sort of dispicable actions and lies, like using people and then discarding them when they no longer are of use to you.

      - Bang **==

      Hey Jamie, Did ya read the story??? I do not consider buying something under deceptive measures “Fair and Square”. If you have to lie, it really ain’t fair, you should have some ethics in your business dealings. As for as your “christian” comment, this woman is mired in deception, see previous comments about deceptive business practices. If a comment I make about her comment on her hope that the President resigning is un-Christian of me, I think your thinking is in error.

      As far as Casey Sheehan, he was a great man, and this world is just that much lesser for him not being with us. But we have a choice, honor Casey, or use his name so a person can stay in the limelight, I am sorry but Mother Sheehan chose wrongly, and allied herself with the wrong people. – Lorica

      Jaime,

      Grow up and stop sounding like and idiot.

      No took her right to protest or be a fool away. You are just mad that she is being rightly ignored, as you will be if you keep up your foolishness.

    13. Marshall Art says:

      Should this deal go through, and this wacko gets the property, I hope none of those good ole boys get too liquored up and do something stupid. I like the protest her home idea, but as for doing anything else, I hope it’s no worse than the mother of all house eggings on Halloween.

    14. Severian says:

      No No Marshal, they weren’t egging her house! They were upholding their Constitutional right to abort chickens!

    15. Lisa says:

      In this country you can protest whenever and where ever you want. You may not agree with ones speech, but they have the right to say it. Annoying? Yes. Make the best of it.

    16. Big Bang Hunter says:

      Well yes….Or they could all quit making empty promises, and move to France already. Oh, and by the by, it’s not just “annoying” when you’re every word is rabidly anti-American. there’s a different word for that, but you don’t dare question their patriotism. Bull.

      - Bang **==

      Good one, Sev.
