In a message posted on Michael Moore’s website, peace mom Cindy Sheehan says she will not eat for two months in a hunger strike against the War in Iraq:
MICHAEL MOORE – GSFP and Code Pink are sponsoring a hunger strike for peace which begins July 04, called Troops Home Fast Some of us like Dick Gregory and Diane Wilson will be fasting until the troops come home from Iraq, and some, like me, will be fasting for a specified time. My fast will begin on 7/04 and end on the last day of Camp Casey: 09/02.We are announcing the fast from Washington, DC on 07/04 and having our last supper on 07/03 in Lafayette Park.
If you can join us in DC on the 3rd and 4th, or fast in solidarity with us on that day, or any other time, please let me know.
Also, Jodie Evans is throwing me a birthday party at Bus Boys and poets on the 3rd of July from 9pm to 11pm….our last food will be before midnight that day….please come to my party, if you can
Love and peace soon,
Cindy

My only question is, will Michael Moore join the fast, too? If so, it’s probably safe to say he’s not doing it for the troops…

I think Cindy should be a human shield over in Gaza. That would end that hunger strike real quick. Her son chose to join the service and she chose to join a hunger strike. It must be grief that caused her to snap.

its so self centered…
“im not gonna eat until you bring the soldiers back!”
“...uhh yes ma’am, and your point is?”
ugh its just so STUPID

That woman will do ANYTHING to attract attention and publicity for herself.
I wonder how she defines “fast,” perhaps 2000 calories per day? You have to eat something if you are going to be doing this for two months because you couldn’t survive otherwise.
I also think it’s safe to say that Michael Moore won’t be participating in Sheehan’s newest campaign to “bring the troops home.”
It might actually make him look even more like a buffoon because he is obviously endorsing Sheehan’s newest publicity stunt (due to posting her letter and promoting the cause on his website), but he won’t participate in the campaign himself.
Imagine that.

Hey, I certainly didn’t fast today because I was at Wrigley Field this afternoon to watch the Cubs WIN for a change!
Sorry fellow readers for my comments being WAY off topic.

Why can’t you see that she will do many things to gain publicity for her CAUSE?
Regarding Moore, have you seen 9-11? If not, and even if you have, you should check it out now. Given what we now know, the film is prophetic.
Consider the possibility that someone else might have a point from time to time.

I don’t think citing Fahrenheit 911 as a source of reason is the wisest thing to do because Moore’s claims in that film have been debunked a hundred thousand times and his arguments have more holes than Swiss cheese.
If you want to read a total annihilation from top-to-bottom of Moore’s claims in that film, look no further than the Christopher Hitchens review of the film in the Spring of 2004:
As most of us know, Hitchens is certainly no conservative or Republican and he has unapologetically crusaded Liberal causes for 35 years.
However, to be fair, Hitchens has been a supporter of the Iraq War since day one, but his unwavering support for that conflict was mainly due to the humanitarian effort to free the Iraqi people from tyranny and oppression and NOT because of the WMDs argument.
Hitchens completely destroyed Moore’s ridiculous claims and falsehoods and did a far better job rebutting Moore’s blatant distortion of the facts than any Republican or Bush defender could have ever done.
Also, isn’t Michael Moore being sued right now for millions of dollars by a US Marine for defamation because Moore completely distorted his comments about the Iraq War in his “film” and portrayed the Marine as anti-war when that wasn’t true at all?
In fact, he told Moore that he supported the effort in Iraq, but Moore conveniently left that part out of the interview when the “film” was in its editing stage.
There was another Marine who claimed a couple of years ago that Moore did the very same thing to him when he was interviewed, but Moore yet again conveniently left out his comments in support of President Bush and the effort in Iraq when it hit the theaters.
I guess Mr. Moore didn’t want to use that Marine’s comments praising Bush because that wasn’t going to reinforce Moore’s claims that Bush is another Hitler and that he invaded Iraq primarily because of oil and Halliburton.
Sadly, I was reminded of his story just yesterday because the Marine was killed in Iraq within the last couple of days.
He can no longer defend himself against Moore so it’s up to the other Marine suing him to get some payback for his blatant dishonesty and distortion of the truth.
Do you really want to use Michael Moore’s propaganda flick as a bastion of the truth in this debate?
That wouldn’t be wise.

My bet is it lasts as long as Saddam’s: One meal.

She is taking her ‘last’ meal at a place called “Busboys and Poets”...need I say any more?
Tell ya what, Sheehag, why dont you REALLY make me believe that you are true to your cause? Dont fast, go on a full-blown hunger strike. Starve yourself until the boys come home; even the savages at Gitmo are willing to do that.
Naaaaahh, you wont do that. Its hard to collect $20 per autograph when youre wasting away on a cot down in your Camp Dipshit tent.

Now if Bush were sly about this, he would set up his BBQ right across the street from the ditch that Cindy calls home. Every day cook up some serious ribs and make sure the smoke wafts over Sheehan.
The problem with a fast is that you can claim whatever you want about the amount of food you eat. If you chow down a box of Ho-Ho’s, just tell everyone that your normal intake is two boxes. “See? Im fasting!”
Another ploy from Cindy Me/More/Now to get attention. What was the name of your son again?
7:46 am [ Quote ]
How Cindy decided to go on a hunger strike in three easy steps:
#1. “Nobody is paying attention to me anymore! Why won’t anybody listen to me! ME ME ME ME ME!
#2. “Boy am I getting fat! I feel so ugly and fat!”
#3. “Hmmmm. . . I could lose weight AND get publicity all at once with a hunger strike! If it is good enough for the “freedom fighters” in Guantanamo, and the people’s hero Saddam, it is good enough for me!”
To see how pudgy Cindy is look here:

Good, we’ll see how long it take air to evaporate.

Yeah, that’ll last..
My only question is, will it be a real hunger strike or one that allows water?
I hope Michael Schiavo will be making the decision when it comes time to stick a tube in her.
8:14 am [ Quote ]
Hey Cindy,
If you’re not going to eat that, can I have it?
8:15 am [ Quote ]
At least Sheehan will probably beat Saddam Hussein’s fast of only one meal. I hope that whereever she is doing this “hunger strike” dozens of people will oppose her by holding outdoor cookouts.
“Mmmm….mmmm…those burgers sure smell good!”
8:24 am [ Quote ]
I wonder if she’ll enter that “euphoric state” that Michael Schiavo’s attorney George Felos told us takes place….

Good for Cindy! She was getting a little chunky anyway.

“Why can’t you see that she will do many things to gain publicity for her CAUSE?”
Of course, and her cause is the defeat of United States by Islamofascist terrorists. She has made it very clear that she opposes America and supports barbarians who saw the heads off of civilians.

I’m going to put on my leftist liberal hat for this comment.
GREAT, HOPEFULLY SHE’LL DIE
Somehow I think she’ll end this thing before that, it’ll be Bush’s fault.

Slight post edit… ha ha
If they really want to make a point about this then Michael Moore should go on a fast too! He would be able to last 2-3 years just on his fat storage.
I can see it now…
“Hello, I’m Perky Katy Couric, this is tonight news. In Iraq today 3 more soldiers were killed in Mr Bush’s Halliburton For Oil War, and Michael Moore is into his 453 day of his hunger strike. His Excellency Moore has brought attention to this un-winable war that the US has no chance on ever getting out of, just like Vietnam.”
“Also, on a side note, his Excellency Moore is now down to a svelt 280lbs after 453 days of no food.”
HA HA, I love making fun of hypocritical limosine liberals
9:33 am [ Quote ]
This is too hilarious
Peace Mom Cindy Sheehan and her confederates at Code Pink recently announced that they will be “sponsoring a hunger strike” beginning on July 4th that is entitled “Troops Home Fast”. The strike is designed to pressure governmental officials who are not particularly concerned over whether or not Sheehan starves to death, into changing effective foreign policy over the fact that a semi-sane woman who can afford to skip several meals has finally decided to do just that.em>
“It’s really going to be something,” Sheehan joked. “Jodie’s making her famous ‘nothings-in-a-blanket’. We’ll laugh and tell stories… it’ll be just like the sleepover parties I always wanted to have when I was a little girl if only the other girls hadn’t shunned me.”
Sheehan’s planned protest is gaining momentum with endorsements and promises of support from such Hollywood Squares hopefuls as Dick Gregory and the girl who played Joey Lawrence’s sister’s best friend on Blossom.
However, Sheehan’s international street-cred really soared when she received a coveted endorsement from Mexico’s Manuel Uribe. Uribe is both loved and reviled throughout the United States for his uncanny ability to smuggle illegal aliens in his skin flaps. His bold defiance of American authorities has earned him the nickname, “El Robin Hood de los Flesh”. Thrice named Mexico’s “Teat Smuggler Del Ano”, Uribe vowed to cut his caloric intake to 12,000 a day to show his support.
12,000 calories a day, I thought they meany Michael Moore.
TNOYF placed several calls to Code Pink to inquire as to what exactly would require sponsorship at a hunger strike, but there have been no responses as this article went to print.
HA HA HA

Maybe they could tape her mouth shut while she is on this hunger strike, and accidentally tape over her nose too.

Here come the staged media events. Brave Cindy, ribs poking through her skin, resolutely crawls from her ditch to the little cross bearing Casey’s name.
With her last strength, she manages to wrap her arms around the cross and then swoons in a fit of tearful mourning. Of course her face will be tilted towards the tv cameras for max dramatic effect.
Showings on the half-hour, dont forget to buy Cindy’s book, personal autographs cost extra.

I heard Cindy is going to fast while underwater in a goldfish bowl in Lincoln Center, while breathing through a straw. It won’t be for attention though—it will be for the troops!

Dont forget a portion of the proceeds (0.1 Cent) go to putting a headstone on Casey’s grave. Forget the fact that his dad already paid to have one erected.

Notice that there is only one post in 33 so far that makes any attempt to defend this nut. She is so far gone, even the libs are done with her. Dick Gregory?? Some has-been comedian from teh 60s who lost alot of weight once? That’s the best she could do? I want to see some counter protesters set up catering trucks and picnics across the street from the park and make it a real party.

Fast? I think she means diet. Why not claim it’s for the war? Maybe she can send all the extra food to kids starving in Venezuela where her buddy Chavez would rather buy assault rifles than feed his own people with oil money.

Oops, wait a minute, if’n ya don’t eat, how do you “go”???
A “fast” is curtailing the amount of food intake. Publicity stunt.

she’s a liar… there is no way she will go without food for almost 2 months.

Here is a funny senario I’d love to see. After a few weeks of this fast, “skinny” Cindy staggers to the microphone but it is quickly apparent that she forgot to wipe the crumbs from her lips after “not eating food for two weeks.” She is dumb enough to pull that off.

Bet you dollars to donuts, three months from now, Cindy Shithead’s gut will still be hanging over her khaki shorts and she’ll still be flashing those pasty thunder thighs for the cameras everytime she’s arrested.

Maybe the 3rd or 4th would be a good time for the “innocents of Guantanamo” who no longer have their money tracked, or are kept from crossing the border come over and try that Washington thing again. I’m sure the NYT will be there too. Plenty of proof then of no harm.

What is this “limited fast” stuff. She should stop eating until every soldiers returns. Anything else would be a dumb publicity stunt for her air head supporters.
I am sure the MSM will see it that way, NOT.

Don’t forget about her hippie buddy daddy Berg. I bet if you get both of them together on this fast thing, maybe they would smoke a couple of joints to pass the time. That would be hilarious watching them chow down with the munchies after smoking that joint. Especially with the BBQ pit set up across from the protest camp.

Hey Shawn
Remind me to jack up the price of the BBQ

≥Do you really want to use Michael Moore’s propaganda flick as a bastion of the truth in this debate?≤
No. I suggested that it would be a good idea to take another look at the film. I don’t agree with C.H. on the subject. Obviously, I don’t agree with other posters here, thus far, about the war in Iraq, or how discussions about that war should proceed. I think the protesters have as much right to speak as do the supporters, and more evidence to strenthen their case.

Is there anyway that we can get them to extend the hunger strike out to around 6 months? Might help th US political situation.

So only publicity hounds do this? Not so you neocon air heads. There are those of us that realize that Jesus would support no war. That Bush and gang are a bunch of serial liars. Saadam had NOTHING to do with 9-11, but 90% of our brave troops think that’s why they’re in Iraq. At least Nixon had the good graces to be embarassed when caught breaking the law.
