A good fair article in the Observer today about the large opposition to Cindy Sheehan in Charlotte, NC and around the US. I think the message she offers is fine and well, but her welcome is long worn out and her name calling has lost its charm in many places in the US.

Then to buddy up with killers like Hugo Chavez and his communist cronies while calling bush a terrorist doesnt ring well for too long.

“Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan will be in Charlotte today for two rallies calling for the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. A counter-rally has also been scheduled.

Sheehan, one of the best-known opponents of the war in Iraq, ended a self-imposed retirement earlier this month after Bush commuted the prison sentence of former White House aide Lewis “Scooter” Libby. Libby had been convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in the CIA leak case.

Calling the president’s decision a “flagrant abuse of power,” Sheehan is now heading rallies calling for impeachment. She had previously held protests at “Camp Casey” outside the president’s Texas ranch. The camp was named for Sheehan’s son, who was killed in Baghdad in 2004.

Sheehan and activists will gather at noon at the Morehead Street offices of Rep. Mel Watt, D-Charlotte.

They will be asking Watt, a who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, to introduce articles of impeachment or to support a House resolution to impeach Cheney. A second rally will be held at 5 p.m. at Bryant Park off West Morehead Street.

At Bryant Park, Sheehan’s supporters can expect counter-protesters from a national pro-Bush group called Gathering of Eagles.

Gathering of Eagles — which proclaims support of military personnel, veterans and national defense — will be “countering her (Sheehan) loudly,” said George Samek, a local organizer for the group. Samek is a Vietnam veteran and former Huntersville police officer who was shot in the line of duty in 1988.”
