"The downhill-only march is very indicative of the actual dedication and energy of this group."
Maybe we can find a cooperative DI who will be more than happy to run them back up.

I wonder how the German officials plan to guarantee her physical safety. I imagine there will be a lot of military personel who would love to see something happen.

From Landstuhl???????????
I'd comment, but my keyboard would catch fire.

Casey's mother continues to dishonor him in a most shameless way. It has long passed since this was about him (if ever); it's really about her and her 7th grade ideology. If anyone who has left this life is rolling over in his grave, it has to be Casey Sheehan.

"On another note, "protesters plan to walk from Landstuhl Regional Medical Center to a parking lot just outside Ramstein Air Base". Just a thought, Landstuhl is on top of a hill, a few hundred feet higher in elevation then Ramstein. The downhill-only march is very indicative of the actual dedication and energy of this group."
I'll pray for snow, and a complete failure of German snow removal equipment ;)
Or maybe a water main bursting, in sub freezing temperatures.
Or maybe you all, should how a proper "drink up" the night before, and "water the street"

Cindy Sheehan is a very sick woman. She is adicted to the limelight like an alcoholic to booze. She needs to be ignored.

Has anyone provided the German authorities a copy of her anti-Semitic remarks? They might be willing to provide a little tour of Dachau in the afternoon, before they post her out of country.

I wish there was a way to prevent her returning to the states when the Germans get tired of her sorry @$$ but unfortunately that would take more effort than it's worth. I've been to Landstuhl in the dark and distant past and have one question. Has the Army build a new hospital there? IIRC the hospital was well back in the base AND on a rather large ridge above Landstuhl platz. I don't think the GI patients would be able to see this sleeze unless she got on base.

Oh man this makes me so sick to my stomach and an anger that has me shaking!!
Don't let her back into America! Kick her out and send her to the front door of the insurgents.

Maybe organize a "base run" that happens to start, at the base of that hill, going up of course, oh, about 15 minutes before her scheduled walk. I can see it now, "Oh, excuse me, mam" .. "Sorry about that, mam" Could make it a little difficult to get down that hill!

Water balloon launchers. Scout a location within range of the gathering and give a demonstration of the value of indirect fire with rubber tubing and water balloons.
Or you could just paint verses on the Koran where they are planning on standing, and make sure that you get pictures of Sheehan presenting the soles of her feet to the words of the Prophet.
That should dry up her funding...

Really weird about her website. You can sign up for her blog, hosted by "Radio Left"(?) but there's no way to leave a comment. I tried. Has anyone else? Let me know if you find a way. BTW, really unprofessional and sh**ty looking blog.

What a Snake! She really gets off spending hotel time with the panderers. Rev. Jesse, Hugo C, and their ilk. She bought her last name by wedding Casey Sheehans father. Casey Sheehan got his name at birth. She is merely Cindy the Snake. Just put a shirt in my cafepress shop, troops section, for Casey.

Having been at Landstuhl when my son was an "unplanned guest" via ar Ramadi, I can not even begin to fathom how anyone could associate LRMC with anything other than care and comfort. Why anyone would consider what they do at LRMC as something to "protest" is mind boggling. It makes me want to weep. Let her show up. The world will shake their heads in disgust the same as the rest of us.
Maybe all the airmen and soldiers and their families of the tri-base area should assemble at the gates of Ramstein, carry US flags and sing patriotic songs. I think the DC FReepers would be more than happy to loan them the MOAB (the Mother of All Banners).

Well, if she thinks that the DC and Capitol police forces were abusive, she ain't seen nothing yet when considering the Polizei. She'd better watch her "P's and Q's" very carefully during this little stunt.
Water cannons, batons, and plenty of other unpleasantries may await her!

Why don't we sponsir an event for her in Baghdad? With a little luck she just might drive over an IED.

This could get interesting. The war is much more immediate for these people, and they don't have to rely on the shoddy MSM for their daily news. They can talk to people in the checkout line at the exchange or commissary!
As for the German community, I think that while many oppose the war, many are also afraid of the Americans leaving for good - simply for monetary reasons. Has anyone been to the small towns and cities where American bases have closed up? Have you seen all of the businesses that went under?
I'll be interested in seeing how this all falls out. I can only hope and pray that our soldiers and their families get together for a wonderful counter-protest - and prove that morale is just fine, thank you very much!

Military members and families will be told to avoid any demonstrations or confrontations - this isn't the first such event here.
The entry road to Ramstein is secluded, and travelled only by those coming to or from the base. If Sheehan and company get permition to "camp" there that gate will likely be closed for the duration, with traffic diverted to other entrances. These measures are taken specifically to avoid any potential conflict. Their little party will go on without anyone to witness.
Except for reporters, that is.
And I doubt Cindy and Co will be allowed to pass through the Landstuhl gate - and the wounded and their families will not see them, as both Fissher Houses and the hospital itself are not in view.
Make no mistake about it, this is a media event, not one for the troops. For those considering arranging a counter demonstration, I reccomend you follow the example of Citizen Smash and have a support the troops rally, not an anti-Cindy event.
Or you can join with Soldier's Angels Germany, and support the troops even after Cindy goes home.
Posted by Greyhawk at February 25, 2006 11:39 PM
I agree Greyhawk. Have a support the troops rally and don't mention Cindy. We here in Illinois, Soldiers Angels want to get a little magazine together. Nothing fancy. But have stories in it about the positive things troops are doing overseas. Stories like the schools opening. Food banks, etc. Leave them in those racks in grocery stores, libraries, etc. So that people have the opportunity to see more then what the media portrays.
I have learned from reading blogs, rather then getting mad at her. Use that frustration for the greater good. Hopefully we can do something postive with it!!
God Bless You and Yours
