The Latest Sheehan Smear - Bad Mommy!

Writing in her diary on DailyKos, Cindy Sheehan shares with us the latest strain of the conservative smear against her: she is a bad mother.

I have received dozens of emails with this heading: Go Home and Take Care of Your Kids. I think of all the name calling and unnecessary and untrue trashing of my character, this one offends me the most. What do the people who send me this message mean?

First of all, it offends me because it is so blatantly sexist. Would anyone think of emailing George Bush when he is out and about (now he is going on a vacation away from his vacation to make speeches in Idaho and Utah defending his killing policies), telling him to go and take care of his kids? Does anyone write to ANY man and tell him to go home and take care of his kids. I have news for all of these people, my children are adults and their dad is home to take care of them if they need any taking care of.
Keep going, conservatives. Really, we're all just laughing at you now. Even Cindy is laughing you off.

But, please, keep trying to see how cheaply you can sell what's left of your souls. Please, continue to debase yourselves by defending this indefensible president. You are killing the conservative movement. Have at it!
