Is Ashley Todd working for Cindy Sheehan now?

Do you believe Nancy Pelosi had Cindy Sheehan's offices hit because she fears Cindy's "rise in the polls"?

Yeah, me neither. Notice that this is a Sheehan press release, not a real news article.

Cindy Sheehan's Campaign Headquarters Heavily Damaged in Late Night Attack

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Just 5 days before the election, at 3a.m. on October 30th, all of the front windows of the Cindy Sheehan for Congress campaign offices were shattered. Although staffers had been in the office less than an hour earlier, no one was in the building at the time of the incident. No one was hurt and there were no witnesses. Cindy Sheehan is a candidate for Congress in California's 8th Congressional District race against incumbent Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

"It seems to have been a calculated intimidation tactic," said Tiffany Burns, the Cindy for Congress campaign manager. "One of our computers was stolen, but no other property was taken from our offices and no surrounding buildings were targeted. Clearly they wanted to both frighten us and to gather information." Total damage to the campaign office is currently estimated at more than $5,000.

The Cindy for Congress campaign recently chronicled a series of unusual events, including other threats of violence, in a statement issued on October 13th. In that statement, Cindy Sheehan noted "he past few weeks have been a little strange at Cindy for Congress <...> the things that have been happening could just be coincidences, or a run of bad luck, but the climate for the possibility of campaign hanky-panky certainly exists."

Campaign staffers also note each incident, including today's early morning incident, has followed closely on the heels of a confrontation with Cindy Sheehan's opponent Nancy Pelosi. This morning's incident occurred after an on-air confrontation between the two candidates on KQED's public affairs program Forum with Michael Krasny on Wednesday morning.

"Each time we confront her, each time we ask her for a debate, each time we gain ground in the polls, something horrible happens," said Burns. "Once or twice might be a coincidence, but such a consistent correlation is hard to ignore."

1. I loathe Pelosi (because she's weak) but Sheehan is a complete nut.

Fer fuck's sake...can't we do better than these two?

[Occam Bandage]

2. Cindy Sheehan is an embarrassment to liberals.

I used to be furious at right-wingers who called her a pathetic attention whore. Now I find myself agreeing.

[tritsofme]

3. lol, I bet Nancy is shaking in her boots.

How else could she contain the Sheehan juggernaut than by orchestrating this plot?

[MadBadger]

8. I'm Not Going To Judge Her Because Of Her Loss

But it's sad to see a person disintegrate on a public stage...

[Yukari Yakumo]

9. And people ridiculed me for saying she was in it for the spotlight.

Maybe she had good intentions at first... but now, yeesh!

An abject embarrassment for the peace movement.

10. At least Cindy has a reason for being nuts

Losing a child can do that, but Ashley is just bat shit crazy for no reason

13. I do not think much of Ashley, and abhor what she did, but

I must point out that mental illness usually has physical causes, chemical imbalances in the brain, etc. Many mental illnesses seem to be passed on genetically. Many people have mental illness and no particular traumatic trigger for it.

11. Christ on a cheesesteak am I out of the loop.

She's running for CONGRESS??

:puke: I feel sorry for that district if those are the only two choices on the ballot.

[vanderBeth]

14. I found out a little while ago

I believe she also said Pelosi was bugging her campaign earlier.

I kinda feel bad for her.

12. I wish she'd just go away. I never understood the support for Sheehan.

Getting attention has always trumped everything else for her.
