As if the story of Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan in Crawford wasn’t beat down enough, it has resurfaced with “news” of a big, heavy tribute to Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan waiting for her on her recent return to the site of Camp Casey for a little Thanksgiving shindig.
Anti-war demonstrators unveiled a stone monument in Crawford, Texas today that honors the California mother who inspired their efforts.
Cindy Sheehan, who staged a 26-day protest outside Bush’s ranch in August, cried when she saw the two-foot-high sandstone marker with the words “Sheehan’s Stand.”
Sheehan and other protesters are back in Crawford to protest during President Bush’s holiday vacation,
The 12-hundred pound rectangular slab lists the names of more than two dozen soldiers whose families were part of the vigil.
Several Bush supporters also gathered in Crawford today with a sign reading: “The price of freedom is not free.”
Anti-war and pro-Bush rallies were planned for tomorrow in Crawford.
Folks, I just happened to be there at Camp Casey when this “monument” was delivered in August. I blogged that day with pictures of the memorial and its hippie-leftover creator. This is all as sadly silly now at it was then. And Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan supposedly cried when she saw it? That woman can apparently cry at the drop of a hat or, to be more accurate, the sight of a camera.
Other photos of my August trip to Crawford can be found here.
