SubscribeCindy Sheehan: “We’re Light, They’re Darkness”
Having just embarrassed herself among her fellow crackpots by complaining about losing media attention to hurricane Rita, Mother Sheehan burned the midnight oil to scribe yet another rant for the Howard Dean paid shill site, the Daily Kos.
The self-appointed saint didn't mean what she said before about being ignored. Suddenly, Cindy is now "content." After all, she now has the moral authority of the Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson as her sword and buckler.
However, Cindy does admit she is a clown, which would seem to be some progress:
We Don't Exist

Last weekend, Karl Rove said that I was a clown and the antiwar movement was "non-existent." I wonder if the hundreds of thousands of people who showed up today to protest this war and George's failed policies know that they don't exist. It is also so incredible to me that Karl thinks that he can wish us away by saying we aren't real. Well, Karl and Co., we are real, we do exist and we are not going away until this illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq is over and you are sent back to the depths of whatever slimy, dark, and loathsome place you came from. I may be a clown Karl, but you are about to be indicted. You also preside over one of the biggest three ring, malevolent circuses of all time: the Bush administration.
The rally today was overwhelming and powerful. The reports that I was arrested today were obviously false. The peace rally was mostly very peaceful. Washington, DC was filled with energetic and proud Americans who came from all over to raise their voices in unison against the criminals who run our government and their disastrous policies that our making our nation more vulnerable to all kinds of attacks (natural and "Bush" made disasters).
I led the march for peace along side such venerable activists as the Reverends Al Sharpton, Bob Edgars, and Jesse Jackson, Jr., and Julian Bond. Two of our Congresswomen with cajones from California: Barbara Lee and Lynn Woolsey also led the march.
Many people told me thank you for coming. I want to tell America "thank you!!" At the Camp Casey reunion this evening, I was so overcome with emotion and gratitude that I wanted to hug every citizen of this country. We in the Camp Casey movement are so proud and thrilled that America showed up in such great numbers.
So much happened today! I am exhausted but very content. I am again filled with a renewed sense of hope that we will get our country back and get our troops home. I was also thrilled at the number of young people who came out today. That is another great sign that the side of good is winning.
With the Reverends, we stopped in front of the White House and said a prayer. After the prayer, I said that we are light and they are darkness. Darkness can NEVER overcome the light, ever. As long as there is one spark, the darkness has lost. We will prevail, we will be victorious. The darkness has lost because our beacons of peace and truth are shining for the entire world to see. And it is a very pretty sight. Take that Karl.
By the way, look how eagerly Mother Sheehan promulgates yet another preposterous lie:
"I wonder if the hundreds of thousands of people who showed up today to protest this war and George's failed policies know that they don't exist."
No, Cindy, none of these people beyond say 10-15,000 actually exist. Not even using Million Man Math.
As a point of reference, this is what a crowd of 100,000 people looks like. (The Los Angeles Coliseum, whose seating capacity is actually only 93,000.) 
In fact yesterday's rally was about the same size or probably even less than the other rallies ANSWER has staged over the last few years.
Compare the photos from ANSWER's rally to a march that most agree reached into the hundreds of thousands, the lesbian baby-killers March for Women's Lives rally, held in April 2004.
By some accounts the MFWL was the largest rally ever to be held in Washington, or at least since the Vietnam War.
The Ellipse, where ANSWER held its Support The Terrorists rally, is a relatively small space, especially compared to the rest of The National Mall.
You will note that the MFWL crowd completely overflowed the entire Mall, an area many times larger than the Ellipse.
But what's another lie when you are overcoming darkness?

[...] it first (stupid football addiction), the pictures I had weren’t as good as the ones over at Sweetness & Light. Go there and you’ll see the comparison between what 100,000 football fans and 100,000 [...]

SG…Your pictures also brought back memories of another gathering at the mall I attended in 1997 - Promise Keepers “Stand in the Gap”. As I remember it, the crowd swelled during the first hour such that the organizers had to scramble to find FOUR more JumboTrons in order to feed the event to those joining and had overflowed to the Elipse and Jefferson Memorial area. Here is a comment I found about it:
Some observations by this reporter:
1. The large crowd — 700,000 up to more than 1 million — was orderly. The police actually stood around with very little to do besides directing the traffic. The only time we witnessed any strong rebuke and warning came when a member picketing the PK men got out of line and tried to thwart the PK men from reaching the National Mall. The policeman told this member of the National Organization for Women (NOW) he would haul him off to jail if he tried it one more time.
It was also reported the next day in the Washington Post (of all places) that the National Park Service had to fire over half the workers they had hired to clean up after such events. The reason, the PK people picked up all the trash and had it neatly staged on the curb. Amazing. Other than the air pollution that was spilled by Sheehan and crowd, I wonder who picked up after them? Maybe it was some of those illegals who do the jobs Americans won’t do.

Former TV News Anchorwoman to Purchase Cindy Sheehan’s Camp Casey
Posted by Noel Sheppard on June 9, 2007 - 19:33.
The next time someone tells you that there aren’t any liberals in the media, make sure to point out the following to said person.
Former WCBS TV (New York) and KCBS TV (Los Angeles) anchorwoman Bree Walker is buying Cindy Sheehan’s Camp Casey near President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas.
For those unfamiliar with Walker, she is now a “progressive” talk radio host on Air America’s affiliate KTLK in Los Angeles.
As reported by the Associated Press:
Cindy Sheehan will sell her war protest site near President Bush’s ranch to a California radio talk show host, who will preserve it as a peace memorial, her spokeswoman said.
Sheehan, who announced on Memorial Day that she was stepping down as the face of the anti-war movement, will sell the 5-acre site in Crawford for $87,000 to Bree Walker, Sheehan spokeswoman Tiffany Burns said.
Liberal media bias? What liberal media bias?
As an interesting sidebar, Sheehan paid $57,250 for the property, giving her a nice little 52 percent return on her money in less than a year.
As the funds to buy the land came from insurance money she received after her son Casey was killed in Iraq, a cynical person could make the case that she’s profiting from a war she’s been protesting against.
Of course, we know that only warmongering conservatives can do that thereby likely making this an angle the media won’t be covering.
Or, is that just too darned cynical?
