That being said - that is the reason why so many anti-Bush groups have rallied around and are propping up Sheehan. She is virtually untouchable in the political sense*
But this sideshow has now become the main act circus. Sheehan, with each new missive and each daily article in the Huffington Post, is sounding more and more like the "crackpot" "puppet" so many are now willing to publicly announce her to be.

I've been kind of out of it for the past few days, and haven't been watching the news, etc. Even on the best of days, I get most of my news off the Internet. So this morning, after reading Penske's (and your) posts I figured I'd check out this media circus. Nothing on Yahoo. Nothing on CNN. Finally, on CBS News' site, buried down at the bottom, was an article on the protestors that mentions Sheehan.
Go ahead guys, get yourself worked up about Sheehan. Convince yourself she's crazy, or unworthy of respect as a defiler of her son's memory. She probably is both. Go ahead and convince yourself that nothing she has to say has any meaning, that people who disagree with the war are haters of America. Pull yourself further right, and divorce yourself from reality a little more.
It apparently takes quite a lot of crap for the good people of the US to finally get fed up with conservatives, but you guys are doing a great job reaching for it. Stay on message. It gives me hope for change.
