More about Cindy . .

What is most interesting to me is that the press gives this little bunch of people
who are protesting with Cindy so much air time without discussing Cindy's
background. This is a case of more press bias. It has

been pointed out on just a couple of media outlets that Cindy divorced her first
husband and left her son with him to be raised while she became a political
activist for the Democratic Party. She had very little to do with her son in his
growing years. She remarried. The 1st husband remarried. The original father
raised the son with his new wife. They miss their son and mourn the loss of his
life. They have stated that they are very proud of their son and that they agree
with the stance of America in Iraq and on terror. They said that their son was
eager to serve and to go fight the terrorists in Iraq. He volunteered. How many
news stations carried their interview? Not many.

So the son dies in Iraq and then Cindy shows up to make a stink. She gets an
audience with Bush. That was not enough. She goes to Crawford and demands
another audience. How many news stations carry the ongoing saga of Cindy?
Practically all of them. Cindy didn't care about her son. She let another woman
raise him. Cindy doesn't care about the other soldiers in Iraq. Cindy cares
about her liberal, feminist agenda and about using the death of her son to lobby
against Republicans and Bush. And the press is helping her. Why?

Then, a few days ago, Cindy's 2nd husband filed for a divorce from Cindy. Cindy
sounds like a feminist opportunist who did not have the sense of responsibility to
even raise her own son. It looks like her 2nd husband is fed up with Cindy. We
middle Americans should be fed up with Cindy also. We should be

fed up with the press. They manipulate us into their "group think" and into the
responses that they want on their polls.

From Snopes:

Claim: Cindy Sheehan's son, Casey, was raised by her ex-husband after the couple divorced and both remarried.

Status: False.

The piece quoted above, criticizing Ms. Sheehan's alleged lack of involvement in her son's upbringing after divorcing his father, is something fabricated out of whole cloth, evidently the product of someone's confusing a completely different family with the Sheehans. Cindy Sheehan and her husband, Patrick, were high school sweethearts who wed while both were in their early 20's and who have been married to each other for over 28 years. (Neither has ever been married to anyone else.) The couple had four children together, of whom Casey was the oldest. Both parents raised Casey together, first in the southern California community of Norwalk and later in the northern California town of Vacaville, where the Sheehans moved when Casey was 14.
