June 6, 200719 yr I received this in an e-mail the other day.... After three years, and a Dept of Defense payment of $250,000 to the "Peace Mom", Cindy Sheehan has not had the time or bothered to have a headstone placed on this young hero's grave. And, she doesn't even have to pay for one, the Dept of Defense will provide one: "The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a government headstone or marker for the grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world. For all deaths occurring before September 11, 2001 , the VA may provide a headstone or marker only for graves that are not marked with a private headstone. Flat markers in granite, marble, and bronze and upright headstones in granite and marble are available. The style chosen must be consistent with existing monuments at the place of burial. Niche markers are also available to mark columbaria used for inurnment of cremated remains." Apparently she can find time to protest on at least 3 continents, get arrested various times, go on vacation in Hawaii, have photo ops with the Marxists in Venezuela, but can't seem to find the time to properly mark her son's grave. Ever wonder what the expression "stuck on stupid" meant? Well here is an example: The grinning idiot clinging to Je$$e Jack$on is Cindy Sheehan... the sob sister who protested the war at Bush's ranch, who lost her son in the war, the same son she gave up in her divorce when he was 7 years old. And by the way if you wonder why she has so much free time ... she is going through another divorce right now and guess what? She is giving up custody of another son. As Forest Gump once wisely proclaimed, "Stupid is as stupid does."

As Forest Gump once wisely proclaimed, "Stupid is as stupid does." OK, but where is a substantive argument against Ms. Sheehan's position on this war? The above passage, part of an email circulated to untold thousands of people, is nothing more than an attempt to villify Ms. Sheehan without making one cogent argument against her position on the war. Webster's definition of ad hominem: "marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made". That is what this email is. People may not agree with all of her statements, but she has laid out a far more precious sacrifice for this war than 99.998% of Americans and she doesn't deserve to be demonized. Regardless of whether or not she has placed a marker on her son's grave, who among the millions of Americans who have given nothing for this war is in a position to criticize her for that?
