According to
this celebrity watch website, Cindy Sheehan has expressed a desire to go back in time to murder president Bush as a child. She also writes, interestingly, about her encounters with people like John McCain.
The right-wingers who think nothing but the worst of Cindy Sheehan probably won't change their minds after reading Peace Mom. In the book, which hits bookstores September 19, the antiwar icon admits she has fantasized about going back in time and killing the infant George W. Bush, thereby preventing the Iraq War. In fact, she reveals, her son's death in that war almost drove her to take her own life: "Every night I had to restrain myself from taking my entire bottle of sleeping pills instead of just one." Other targets of her vitriol:
* John McCain, whom Sheehan calls a liar for denying that he once responded to her question about why her son had to die by saying, "Well, Cindy, I am afraid it's going to be for nothing, like my buddies in Vietnam." McCain has denied that on another occasion he told her, "You keep doing what you are doing. America needs to hear your voice."
The part about McCain is very interesting and supports the right-wing thesis that McCain is a closet liberal. However, the word of an extremist like Cindy Sheehan cannot be truested. She has already described America's enemies, Al-Qaeda and Sunni terrorists in Iraq as 'freedom fighters', as if they are somehow fighting for their freedom. Instead, they are fighting for an theocratic dictatorship, which is far, far removed from any sane person's idea of freedom.
Her latest outburst about the president is, I think, despicable. Wanting to kill the president is sick and bad enough, but wanting to do the same to the president as an innocent and sweet young child is absolutely horrendous. This woman is insane. She is a disgrace to sane liberals and progressives.
