After calling the terrorists in Iraq who killed her son "freedom
fighters,"
anti-Bush activist Cindy Sheehan now says other mothers of those slain
in
the conflict whose views oppose her own are "brainwashed."
"I have been silent on the Gold Star Moms who still support [President
Bush]
and his war by saying that they deserve the right to their opinions
because
they are in as much pain as I am. I would challenge them, though, at
this
point to start thinking for themselves," Sheehan said.
"How can these moms who still support George Bush and his insane war in
Iraq
want more innocent blood shed just because their sons or daughters have
been
killed? I don't understand it," Sheehan stated. "I am starting to lose
a
little compassion for them. I know they have been as brainwashed as the
rest
of America, but they know the pain and heartache and they should not
wish it
on another. However, I still feel their pain so acutely and pray for
these
'continue the murder and mayhem' moms to see the light."
"What an elitist, arrogant [remark]," Hallie Lord writes in an online
messageboard. "The fact that some of us mothers vehemently disagree
with you
does not mean that we have been brainwashed. We are perfectly capable
of
thinking for ourselves and forming intelligent opinions about this war.
....
The more you belittle others the less likely they are to hear and
respond to
your message."
"That's just outright mean and cruel, and ignorant," added Dan Kasun.
"I
hope the media picks up on this, as Americans may actually start to see
how
spiteful Cindy is, and therefore fully understand why her position is
so
incredibly wrong. That should help gain support for getting the job
done
right."
Another poster states, "Sheehan is opening up the Pandora's box here.
She
should look in the mirror before accusing others of being brainwashed.
After
this little tirade it is a free-for-all and no one is guilty of
character
assassination after her words."
Yet, Sheehan does have those who agree with her about the brainwashing.
"Thank you for your courage and your clarity," said Steve Hanrahan.
"The
brainwashed moms will have their epiphany and hopefully soon. The path
of
peace always prevails over evil."
Sheehan came under fire last week after WorldNetDaily broke the story
that
she had called enemy terrorists "freedom fighters."
"But now that we have decimated the country," she said, "the borders
are
open, freedom fighters from other countries are going in, and they
[American
troops] have created more terrorism by going to an Islamic country,
devastating the country and killing innocent people in that country."
Sheehan continues to write about her daily activities in Crawford,
Texas,
saying she's not un-American for vocalizing her opposition to the Iraq
War.
"I am really sad that there are still people in America who think that
someone exercising her freedom of speech is anti-American. People who
say we
don't have the right to dissent are unpatriotic and un-American," she
said.
"I kind of feel sorry for George; holed up in his ranch. Not being able
to
go out unless he flies over in his helicopter. If he drove out of the
ranch,
he would have to see people who disagree with him."
