Cryptome carries photos of Cindy Sheehan’s Bush Ranch Protest. Her campaign is getting lots of coverage in the press and a lot of national support. Digby has the best theory I’ve seen yet as to why so many people support Cindy Sheehan, and why, as he puts it, “she’s driving the Republicans crazy” (example).

It’s the roadside crosses that strike home. But shouldn’t some of them have the star of David, the crescent moon, etc? Perhaps they do.
Goodness…these GOPers is Bats-in-the-belfry Crazee: as you linked to the piece over at The Poor Man Cafe.
Next – It’ll be that Casey Sheehan was a traitor for getting himself killed.. Why we ought to Shoot him for treason…as far as that goes.
But I vote we all donate our 1.0670708 second per year of Face-2-Face time with our Fearless Leader to Mrs. Sheehan so she can get her time to have her say. Lord Know I’d never want to talk to G.W. myself. LOL
I’m in Crawford and it’s been a stinky mad house..before the port o potties, they were relieving theirselves in buckets (fecies), peeing on the ground, etc. Driving thru to take care of our animals ( just a mile or so closer to the ranch) it would cause even an iron stomach to melt and have the dry-heeves!! Yesterday, i saw new appliances being delivered to the “Peace House”, I’m sure at a sympathizers expence. Oh, well, at least it’s not my tax dollars all though i would have gladly used tax money not to smell their filth
