Cindy Sheehan, the “peace mom” who made headlines in 2005 by staging a marathon protest outside President Bush’s Crawford, Texas, ranch, said Monday that she no longer wants to be seen as a leader of the anti-war movement.
In a 1,245-word missive entitled “Goodbye Attention Whore” posted on the liberal DailyKos blog, Sheehan said her campaign to end the war in Iraq had strained her relationship with her children, cost her a marriage and left her nearly penniless.

Each time I see Cindy Sheehan I realize that she hasn’t had a clue how she was being used. I despise her work against exactly what her son fought and died for, but she had the right to speak out. She did, on the national stage where most of never can espouse from, and now she’ll have to deal with it.
This is her country. What did she think she was doing? It’s sad, really.
