Sheehan’s Late-Night Camp Casey Comments to Supporters

Share article:

Following Joan Baez’ performance, Cindy Sheehan made her first public statements since returning to Camp Casey in Crawford, TX.

She spoke about the media attacks on her, and at length about Casey. Both moving and at times, funny.

As broadcast LIVE Exclusively on The BRAD SHOW via RAW RADIO’s Special Edition of “Operation Noble Cause”. Here’s the MP3…

    I really miss the blog. The radio scheduling and mp3s aren’t what I "tune in" for.

    Brad and all,

    The hilarity on the right ensues! I checked into a right-wing blog, and something very funny was going on over there!!!!

    It looks like someone posted again about the American Center of Voting Rights sham without anyone noticing!

    http://www.pardonmyenglish.com/...ehan_kiss.html

    What is even funnier is that they are all talking about the pictures (what are those?) and then suddenly the discussion on ACVR erupts: This is too much! It also leads to a report which proves the guy in ACVR works for the RNC, lol, I think the GOP has started to implode!

    First, they ignore you.
    Then they laugh at you.
    Then they fight you.
    Then you win.

    They’re fighting.

    And we’re winning.

    Cindy play ‘w’ his favorite song :

    "Hell to the chief :laugh:

    for causing the world all of this grief :crazy:

    he can run
    But he can not hide forever
    he ain’t that clever :rolleyes:

    he is "The Fool on the Hill" a bumbling bush

    we need a real leader NOT some wannabe Yale Cheerleading cowboy
    who is afraid not only of horses
    but grieving mothers who have lost their sons 😉

    Thank you, Brad. It was wonderful to hear Cindy speak. As she stands behind Casey and all the innocents who have died "to line the pockets" of Bushco, and as we all stand behind her, the rogue Bush administration is going to FALL. Isn’t the TRUTH POWERFUL AND WONDERFUL.

    If the MSM wants to talk about Cindy, then they should pay this audio, from start to finish…

    Cindy Sheehan’s speech about her son was sooo touching. She said she believes that her son is watching over Camp Casey I believe that too . As I was sitting at my computer and listening to Cindy I cried my eyes out for her. I could feel the sadness in her voice it was really was powerful!!

    You people are so funny. You aren’t winning.In case you haven’t been paying attention people are laughing at you and the ones who aren’t laughing at you are pissed off.
    We are in Iraq and we will stay in Iraq.

    Thank you so much, Brad. I just listened to Cindy speaking to Camp Casey and was so moved. You can’t help but cry & be touched by her.
    I have to say one thing: the right will surely jump on her saying "These other kids…don’t they have moms?"…
    And I want to say…Cindy speaks from her heart, out of grief & love, and sometimes she might say something that may rub someone the wrong way. But she is an awesome, wonderful woman, and she DOES honor her son, and she DOES honor every soul that gave their life in this terrible war, and every parent, every family, that grieves for them.
    If some don’t get that, it is their loss, their misunderstanding.

    If some morons choose to laugh at us, who gives a shit?! Gee, we’re crushed. What a completely idiotic thing to say!

    (_)S re: #11 –

    Well, ya know, some people drink from the fountain of knowledge – some just gargle and spit.

    Meaning, yeah, some people are a little slow on the uptake – they’re still stuck at the "then they laugh at you" phase. That’s okay, they’ll catch up to those that have moved forward to the fighting stage – eventually.

    Or, they’ll be the ones standing there during the impeachment hearings with that look on their face like "What the hell just happened??"

    And yes, we are winning. If we weren’t, you wouldn’t bother posting here 🙂

    We know we’re a real pain in the ass to those who support the prez, but it’s still nice to hear one of y’all squeal now and then, just to confirm it.

    Thanks for dropping by.

    Maybe the neoCons are those that haven’t evolved up the next step … could that be why they’re trying to block the study of evolution?

    My brother & I always used to clean up after the parties we threw on the occasion of being left to watch the house. Sometimes too well. That’s what gave us away.

    Thank you Cindy and all Americans who support her ! We salute you ! As my Grandfather told me during the First World war when the recruiting sergeant persuaded him to go to war in 1915 "..My father said don’t be so F***ing stupid and get yourself a proper job working in a Butcher’s shop at least we might have something to eat!!!"

    By the way we here in the UK never wanted this war we just didn’t have a proper choice of politician after all who wants a Conservative Prime Minister ?

    :)Cindy is the light that keeps us going on …she is the symbol of all mothers who have lost children in the greedy wars and the greedy war of today in Iraq. I invite all to down load "BACK HOME" for a donation of $1.00 to Veterans/Families. We know Bush and his Bushitters have cut benefits for our men and women from all wars and this new war. My band and my self have been protesting and speaking our mind speaking truth to power. So go to my website starting in September to down load "Back Home" 100% of each doillar will be donated to Veterans and their families. I am and Air America Band….working form a Blue County in a Red State of confussion.

    :doze: :crazy: :angry:
    AS horrible as the hurricane was/is thank God
    that Lowry etal were aroused to rally to
    Camp Casey/Cindy Sheehan’s aid!
    Now the civil rights movement however
    incipient has begun to wake from a long slumber
    and I’ll bet a large contingent will march Sept 24-5
    in DC that sees connection between war and
    racism at home
    NOT ONE MORE PENNY FOR THE WAR MACHINE
    WE NEED ALL THAT RECONSTRUCTION AT HOME

    the recent split AFL-CIO is a good thing I think..
    would like to see some rank and file
    organizing drives
