It may be too late to help Cindy Sheehan

Wow.

This stuff just gets worse. The more we learn about Mrs. Sheehan's radical campaign against our war on Islamofascist terror, the more bizarre she appears, and it may be too late for any kind of grief counseling to help. I thought we were dealing with a normal mother who'd painfully lost a son in war. But the more I read of her extensive history of radicalism, the less hope I hold out for her.

Here are some more comments by her, from the Aug. 15 "Best of the Web Today" column by James Taranto on OpinionJournal.com :

"Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."
"...the mainstream media is a propaganda tool for the government."

"America has been killing people . . . since we first stepped on this continent, we have been responsible for death and destruction. I passed on that bullshit to my son and my son enlisted. I'm going all over the country telling moms: 'This country is not worth dying for'. "
"...this morally repugnant system we have."

"We might not even have been attacked by Osama bin Laden if 9/11 was their Pearl Harbor to get their neo-con agenda through..."

"...they're saying... it's okay for Israel to have nuclear weapons. But Iran or Syria better not get nuclear weapons. It's okay for the United States to have nuclear weapons. It's okay for the countries that we say it's okay for. We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now."

"It's okay for Israel to occupy Palestine, ...and it's okay for... the United States to occupy Iraq, but it's not okay for Syria to be in Lebanon."

"As soft-spoken and sincere-sounding as Paul Wolfowitz is, is there yet any sane adult in this country whose skin does not crawl when this murderous liar opens his mouth and speaks?"

"In their secret hiding places, while celebrating newly won fortunes with their fellow brass, these men must surely congratulate themselves with orgies of carnal pleasure as they mock the multitudes who are yet so blind as to mistake them for God's devoted servants."

So much for well-reasoned civil discourse. She seems rather unhinged, to me. Whose writing her script, I wonder. Perhaps Michael Moore or George Soros. Or Howard Dean. Maybe even Ward Churchill?

Well, she has plenty of likeminded supporters, to be sure. And who wouldn't want David Duke on their side, eh?
