Moonbat Mom In the Ditches Down Under

Anti-war mum slams Howard - Top stories - Breaking News 24/7 - NEWS.com.au: "PRIME Minister John Howard was an illegal combatant waging a war of terror against the world, a prominent US anti-war activist told a peace rally in Melbourne today.

Cindy Sheehan, whose volunteer soldier son Casey, 24, was killed in Baghdad two years ago, called for an end to the Iraq war and for the closure of Guantanamo Bay prison,where Australian citizen David Hicks is incarcerated.

Our governments are saying they (Guantanamo Bay inmates) don't deserve civil rights because they're illegal enemy combatants,' Ms Sheehan told the rally. 'George Bush and John Howard and Tony Blair are illegal combatants, there's nothing about this war on terror that is legal.

Maybe if Cindy Sheehan wasn't so self-absorbed in her new role as "Anti-war Mom", liberal icon to the worldwide association of Moonbats, she could take more interest in pressing matters at home, like this one below.

From Snopes.com: Whats this? Obviously, it's a picture in a cemetery. What cemetery and whose grave? Yes, it's sadly the grave of Casey Sheehan. After two years, and a DOD payment of $250,000 life insurance to the "Peace Mom", she has not had the time or bothered to have a headstone placed on this young hero's grave. And, she doesn't even have to pay for one, the DOD will provide one:

"The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a government headstone or marker for the grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world. For all deaths occurring before September 11, 2001, the VA may provide a headstone or marker only for graves that are not marked with a private headstone.

Flat markers in granite, marble, and bronze and upright headstones in granite and marble are available. The style chosen must be consistent with existing monuments at the place of burial. Niche markers are also available to mark columbaria used for internment of cremated remains."

She can find time to protest on at least 3 continents, get arrested various times, go on vacation in Hawaii, have photo ops with the Marxists in Venezuela but can't seem to find the time to properly mark her son's grave.

oh yea — Cindy Sheehan recently treated herself to a brand new Volkswagen Beetle convertible. She still can't be bothered to buy a grave marker for her son though. More

Here's a Memorial day tribute for Casey from the American Thinker since his mother will be in another country on another continent ripping apart the very ideals and country that her son died for

Finally!

The Reporter - Casey Sheehan's grave receives its headstone: "Memorial Day will be different this year at the Vacaville-Elmira Cemetery, where Casey Sheehan, a soldier from Vacaville, lies buried.

Until this week, more than two years after his death in Iraq, Casey's grave has been marked only by a small plaque. On Thursday, it received a headstone.

The elegant marble slab is thick and emblazoned with a cross and delicate thickets of trees on both sides.

'Our Casey,' reads an inscription on the front. 'Ever faithful, kind, and gentle, good son, beloved brother, brave soldier, dear friend, you loved your family and lived your life serving others to the end.' Six icons grace the other side, representing a military insignia, the theater, Eagle Scouts, Van Halen, the World Wrestling Federation and Superman.
