Posted by: ST on April 26, 2008 at 11:02 am » 12 Comments

Last August, I blogged about former Nutroots darling Cindy Sheehan’s announcement that she was going to run as an “independent candidate” against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi because of her refusal to impeach President Bush for “war crimes.” On Friday, she was at City Hall in SF filing the papers necessary to run: Peace activist Cindy [...]

 

Mother Sheehan calls for Pelosi’s impeachment

Posted by: ST on December 17, 2007 at 10:14 am » 7 Comments

Bbbbecause she’s an eeevil pro-torture warmonger just like Bushitler! Glenn Reynolds posts that you can’t actually impeach a member of Congress. Even so, it is amusing to see the woman formerly known as the left’s favorite “military mom” give it a try. Perhaps this is another reason she wants Pelosi impeached? LOL …

Cindy Sheehan wants people to ‘get away’ from the typical party politics (MORE: SHEEHAN ARRESTED *AGAIN*)

In an opinion piece she wrote for the SF Chronicle, Cindy says we need to move away from the usual party politics … and then engages in the typical party politics: I truly understand the not-so-supportive people, though, because I have been in their shoes. Here in the United States, most of us put our [...]

Cindy Sheehan ‘quits’ as the ‘official’ face for the anti-war left

Posted by: ST on May 29, 2007 at 10:25 am » 12 Comments

Of course, the writing has been on the wall for Mother Sheehan for a while now. She hasn’t been drawing big crowds at her ‘sit-ins’ and she’s turned into someone who is beyond embarassing to [...]

Posted by: ST on January 3, 2007 at 5:54 pm » 40 Comments

Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) was nicer than he should have been in the face of the disruption. Of course he probably realizes that crowd, as part of the Nutroots faction, helped get his party elected to the majority, so showing a little ‘respect’ for Sheehan and Co. appeared to be what he chose to do [...]
