Cindy: Go Home and Take Care of Your Kids

[no_to_war_economy]

Cindy replies:

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.

1. Good response

That puts it all in perspective - and plus makes the e-mailers look like neanderthal dopes.

Sheesh, no wonder the Republicans continue to receive votes. As long as there are folks like this in our country, impervious to reason, learning, and history, Republicans will do okay.

4. Her "kids" are between 19-24yo. I think they can take care of themselves.

6. Right on, Cindy!!!

Excellent response to the emails! And I would dare say, the Twins probably need MUCH MORE taking care of than Cindy's children!!!

8. Too bad the same people emailing Cindy weren't worried...

about her son Casey. Were they upset because she wasn't in Iraq to take care of him. I don't know where these people get off attacking such a brave person as Cindy Sheehan. If only we could all be as brave.

10. Killer line:

We as mothers need to stop buying into the load of misogynistic crap that our children need our constant presence in their lives so they can thrive and grow.

11. One of Her Kids is Rather Beyond Her Ability to Take Care Of

:cry:
Cindy can't take care of Casey any more,
except by doing what she has been doing.
