The family of American soldier Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004, has broken its silence and spoken out against his mother Cindy Sheehan's anti-war vigil against George Bush held outside the president's Crawford, Texas ranch.

The following email was received by the DRUDGE REPORT from Cherie Quarterolo, Casey's aunt and godmother:

Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish. Thanks Ð Cherie

In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue:

Sheehan Family Statement:

The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.

Sincerely,

Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.




Translation: "STFU you despicable, self-serving, insipid bitch!"

That's going to make for an akward thanksgiving.

Kind of like the Murrah building attack in OKC back in 1995. We lost family in the blast.


But there was one particular mother, who needs not be named, who was ALWAYS in front of the cameras. We used to joke that it was more dangerous to get between her and the camera than it was searching the wreckage for survivors.

LOS ANGELES - JANUARY 6: Mother Cindy Sheehan who's son Army Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan was killed recently in Iraq speaks during "Words and Music in Honor of Fahrenheit 9/11" on January 6, 2005 at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, California.

Now who is that in the backround (both literally & figuratively)??? Help me out here... is that Jabba the Hutt, the Stay Puff Marshmellowman, or someone else perhaps?  

She's nuttier than a California fruitcake.

Nope. Post traumatic stress syndrome. And I would suspect she hasn't gotten help, and isn't handling it well.

I'm begining to think she never got past postpartum .

She's doing it for the attention...you should hear the statements she made about Bush a year ago (POSITIVE)...she only recently changed her mind from a gnerally "moderate" grieving/understanding parent to a leftwing uber-loon-bitch.

There was a mom of soldier  (not sheehan) that died in a HELO COLLISION in Iraq on O Reilly last night.  Her sone died in a fucking accident that could have easily happened in the US and she's going on and on about how Bush lied and her little boy died...she makes him out to be a helpless pawn even though she admitted that he was for the war in iraq and helping the iraqi people...he also appeared to be much older than the little boy she made him out to be (he looked about 30-35).

They are a disgrace.

I feel shame for her.

What is that big fat beached whale in the background. That is one darn ugly looking glob of flesh

She was already an Anti-War Liberal douchebag BEFORE her son's death. Now she has the full weight of the Victim Machine backing her, pushing her into Madness. Medea Benjamin and all the other traitorous twats are "supporting" her.

Maybe she missed out on the Vietnam days of peace love and happiness...She is catching up.

When the left gets done using her, when she can not suck up anymore, they will throw her out....Just like a used tampon.

Soldiers die.  

Should you miss them and grieve for them?  Absolutely.
Should you be grateful to them for their service?  You'd better.
Should you honor their memory?  Damn right.

What you DON'T do is what this stupid bitch is doing.  I don't care if she is depressed.  She needs to STFU and get back to being grateful for her son's service.

She was quoted as saying that Bush should send his own daughters to war if he believes in it so much.

First of all, he has no obligation to do any such thing, and second of all, PARENTS DO NOT SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO WAR!

She also said, "I can't see why Bush can't take one hour to talk to me."  What does she want Bush to do, his job or kiss her ass and beg forgiveness?  Besides, he already has talked to her!

What a bitch.

Yes, I said that.  I can't even feel sorry for her for losing her son.
