Botnst said it was cheap of Cindy Sheehan to use her son in her argument because he can’t speak for himself. His position assumes that Casey Sheehan would object to what his mother is
doing, but we don’t know that because he can’t speak for himself. The anti-Cindy position exploits her son to the same extent as the pro-Cindy position exploits him. Maybe she is misguided. Maybe she should suffer in silence, but I don’t think her son’s death automatically disqualifies her from being anti-war.

I hope I am not being disrespectful of Casey Sheehan. Thinking of him and his comrades dying over there makes me ill.
