And she's going to run for a senate seat? I realize that most of them are idiots, but I don't see her as a good substitute for anyone, not even Feinstein.

You gotta admit, though, she's making a big stink. :)

Chavez Backs Sheehan Plan for Bush Protest

By IAN JAMES, Associated Press Writer Sun Jan 29, 6:29 PM ET

CARACAS, Venezuela - Cindy Sheehan, the peace activist who just announced that she is weighing a run for Senate, plans to protest again outside
President Bush's Texas ranch, Venezuela's president said Sunday with Sheehan by his side.

Hugo Chavez, his arm around Sheehan's shoulders, told a group of activists that Sheehan had told him that during Holy Week, in April, "she is going to put up her tent again in front of Mr. Danger's ranch."

"She invited me to put up a tent. Maybe I'll put up my tent also," Chavez said, to applause from an audience invited to his weekly broadcast on the final day of the World Social Forum, an annual gathering of anti-war and anti-globalization activists.

Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son, Casey, was killed in
Iraq in 2004, thanked Chavez for "supporting life and peace" and she was impressed by his sincerity.

"He said, 'Why don't I run for president?'" she said. "I just laughed."

Sheehan, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., said Saturday that she is strongly considering challenging Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein (news, bio, voting record) because the lawmaker will not support calls to immediately bring the troops home.

Sheehan, 48, said running in the Democratic primary in June would help "bring attention to all the peace candidates in the country."

Sheehan, who was visiting Venezuela for the six-day forum, told The Associated Press that she will decide whether to run after talking with her three adult children in California.

Sheehan accused Feinstein of being out of touch with Californians on the war in Iraq.

Feinstein's campaign manager, Kam Kuwata, said the senator did not support Bush and felt she had been misled by his administration. With troops committed, Feinstein believes immediate withdrawal is unworkable, he said.

"Senator Feinstein's position is, 'Let's work toward quickly turning over the defense of Iraq to Iraqis so that we can bring the troops home as soon as possible,'" Kuwata said in an interview on Saturday.

On Sunday, when Chavez passed the microphone to Sheehan on his show, she blamed Bush for the killings of innocents in Iraq.

Noting that the singer and activist Harry Belafonte recently called Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world" on Chavez's show, Sheehan said: "I agree with him."

Chavez said his government would help protest the war in Iraq by supporting a drive to gather petitions and delivering them to the U.S. Embassy in Caracas. Chavez, who before the war in Iraq had friendly relations with
Saddam Hussein, has been a frequent and strident critic of the war.

She's got more balls than most. And she speaks her mind. I wish more people of all stripes were like her.

She's a brainless sock puppet. It's pretty clear she's speaking somebody else's mind.

Who is financing this assclown?
It's all a part of some big left wing conspiracy funded by Armand Hammer from the grave. We were trying to cover it up, but damned it you didn't bust out your John Birch Society decoder ring and figure it out.

Only in one sense. We have a president who ignores all of his errors, glosses over his mistakes, and pretends no one elses opinion matters because what HE Has decided is "The only way to do it".

Any voice of opposition, even one in the wilderness, is at least an opposing viewpoint. We are a country of sheeple blindly following a complete idiot.

She's a ripple on the water that by itself will not result in much change, however she at least is showing people that free speech is still alive, unlike what happened to this guy:

And for the record, she's way to extreme for me, and she's not bright, but I like the fact she IS speaking her mind publicly on the world stage.

Why shouldn't Sheehan go out there and say what she wants, and even run for office if she wants to? She's kind of like Ross Perot without the billions, just a citizen without political experience that thinks that she can contribute. The voters will decide if they want her in office or not, and along the way she can put out her ideas. Isn't that the American way?

I don't agree with a lot of what she is saying, but have to applaud her for the courage to get out there and do what she obviously thinks is the right thing to do. As far as being a tool, I do think she has been used by a few people for their own agenda, but she seems to be making her own way just fine. Let the voters of California in her district decide what to do if she runs for office, and let her, like any citizen who decides to run or not, have her say.

Puppet orginizations of the DNC I'm sure. A lot like the interview shortly before the election where a number of people who were paid protestors for the DNC admitted to not even knowing about what they were supposed to be protesting until they get to their next stop.

I didn't vote for either of them so don't blame me. Better than the alternative though.

Not ready for prime time has gone the way of commie-ander in chief...into the basement for reprogramming.

If Rick Santorum had invited Pat Robertson to sit in the gallery and he whipped out John 3:16 on a flattened Corona box, he would have been carted out just as fast.

Last I checked US State House security still has some modicum of decency.

Sheehan is a goner. Code Pink is going to pull her travel miles card for sure now. They were counting on her for face time, so they could over dub propaganda in Chavez ville and Cuba.

Hell, I don't think Oliver Stone could rewrite this fuck up. Who was that guy Johnny on MTV who'd drive his golf cart over a sand trap...well, he's finally found an understudy.

Sheehan,
