I think you make what could be a valid point from a psychiatrist. But we really know nothing about the Sheehan family so to discuss an oedipus complex is a bit of a stretch.

You're assuming that the spectacle in Crawford represents grief. That is not the case. She is using the loss of her son as justification for her lifelong false beliefs and is using his coffin as a soapbox.

You're definitely thinking outside the box and this would be an excellent analysis if we just knew more. But we don't--just like Cindy Sheehan doesn't know what her son is thinking now.

Interesting, reflective (and provacative) post, Dodo.

It's completely pathetic and disgusting that you would raise such baseless questions.

And, Aaron, this post is neither reflective nor interesting.

It is provocative, in that it raises the question "just how frickin' low will people go to smear those with whom they disagree?".

This post is without shame...while I understand the concept of partisan posting (and don't at all disagree with freedom of speech), I do find it disturbing that the common authors on this site wouldn't rallie against such low-brow behavior.

This post really speaks to how disgusting this site can be.

Holy shit, Dodo, you are one sick motherfucker! If I were to use logic such as your own, I would say, "Wow! The thought that Cindy Sheehan's relationship with her son was sexually perverse never entered my mind, AND since I never banged my mom, it must mean that since Dodo thought of such a thing he must be banging his mom!" Nice attempt at logic, Dodo, but you see what happens when you try thinking? Nothing but perverse shit comes from those seized gears that you call a brain.

Well, yes, from the comments, Dodo, this is a provacative post.

I owe the readers of this blog an apology. I erred greatly in how I worded this post.

I didn't intend to imply that Casey Sheehan ever committed incest with his mother.

Likewise, in the movie that I referred to, the mother never actually committed incest. Instead, the mother in the movie had been depending on her deceased to son to fulfill an emotional need that went beyond a normal mother-son relationship, which is why the mother despised the younger son for not being the son who died.

As for Cindy Sheehan, I can't read her mind. Still, her statements cause me to wonder if she had tried to use her son Casey to fill a need that a son usually doesn't fill.

Again, I erred. I will be making this apology again in a new post.

Dodo...

while you have no reason at all to answer to me, and while my comment in response to this post was rather vehement and vindictive, you simply took the high road, explained the circumstances, and apologized.

On this one, you're a better person than I (again, not that you need to here it from me...)
