Cindy Sheehan and Bob Avakian, the Commie

Who is that guy with Cindy? Her husband? No. He divorced her. Her dad? No. He is dead. Santa Claus? No. Santa doesn't like dishonest, unhinged, foul-mouthed, arrogant, dried-up, middle-aged cows. Who can he be then?

Why, it is none other than good old Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA.

For 30 years Bob Avaikian has been preaching the gospel according to Karl Marx and for 30 years amaerica has ignored him. Cindy is every bit as "Red" as Bob is, unless it involves her personal finances and lifestyle. The public has watched her emerge as a full-blooded, America-hating Communist and now the word is pretty much out.

She started out presenting herself as June Cleaver; a good Catholic mother from the suburbs who loved her country, supported the troops and shared the middle-American values the most people hold. She was a fraud form the beginning.

She eventually admitted that she had left the Catholic church before the 2000 election. She didn't understand the concept of confession, she said, and was troubled by the church's "fixation" on Mary. She admits to trying to indoctrinate her children with the notion that being a Catholic wasn't about the "Dogma", but what was in one's heart. She was 100% wrong. It IS about the Dogma. That is what define the Catholic church. The difference between the Catholic church and the Unitarians of the Episcopalians is the Dogma, a set of specific, defined beliefs.

She had always been a Liberal and a Democrat. Now she has aligned herself with the Green Party because she thinks Fienstein, Lieberman and Clinton are too Conservative. Yikes!

At first, Cindy claimed to "support the troops" although she opposed the war. Her comments then shifted from a downright lie to something a little closer to her actual beliefs, "Support the troops? I support only those who are NOT supporting the exploitation of the Iraqi people, and those who do not allow the war profiteers to carry on with their death and destruction all for the sake of an opulent lifestyle." Notice the codewords "exploitation", "war profiteers" and "opulent lifestyle"? Cindy's as Red as Rudolf's nose. source

Finally, Cindy came out of the closet completely. She journeyed to Canada to embrace and praise American deserters and encourage other soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines to follow their lead. "If the army is a volunteer organization, why can't you un-volunteer?" source The answer to her question is a three word phrase that is utterly beyond Cindy Sheehan's comprehension..."Duty. Honor. Country."

Bob Avaikian likes Cindy. So does Hugo Chavez. So does Joan Baez. I wonder what George Washington, Abe Lincoln or FDR would have thought of "Fellow Traveler" Sheehan? not much, I'll wager.
