Cindy Sheehan, the famous anti-war protester who used to set up camp outside George Bush’s Crawford Ranch, is at it again.  This time she’s on Martha’s Vineyard, and the war that’s got her all riled up has a new Commander In Chief.

“The reason I am here is because … even though the facade has changed in Washington D.C., the policies are still the same,”  Sheehan said.  “We are here to make the wars unpopular again.”

She also claims that the President, despite his anti-war rhetoric, has escalated the situation in Afghanistan and has failed to leave Iraq.  Apparently, the racist, illegal, war of oppression and oil theft now belongs to Obama.

When we last saw Sheehan, she was presented as a lone-wolf crusader, the bereaved leader of a grass roots movement battling the tyranny of US imperialism.  Now, she’s presented as…well…OK, she’s not presented at all.  The major media outlets, which have continually proven themselves to be willing participants in the Obama agenda, have chosen to remain mum on the subject.

Once again, now that Obama’s been elected, dissent is no longer the highest form of patriotism.  Someone get a memo to Sheehan.
