BAT-TO-BAT TRANSFER

Libtalker Taking Over Sheehan Ranch







In the finest tradition of lefties helping lefties, Cindy Sheehan's Texas ranch has been sold to Los Angeles- based libtalker Bree Walker (seen in photo below). Could this be the first moonbat- to- moonbat land transfer in Texas history?

Walker, a weekend host on Los Angeles "progressive" talker KTLK- AM, is getting the five- acre Crawford parcel outside for just $87,000, about $35,000 more than Sheehan paid for it.

According to CNN, the former "peace" activist refused to sell the land to Move America Forward, a conservative activist group partially led by KSFO- AM / San Francisco morning host Melanie Morgan:

Cindy Sheehan will sell her war protest site near President Bush's ranch to a California radio talk show host, who will preserve it as a peace memorial, her spokeswoman said.

Sheehan, who announced on Memorial Day that she was stepping down as the face of the anti-war movement, will sell the 5-acre site in Crawford for $87,000 to Bree Walker, Sheehan spokeswoman Tiffany Burns said.

"Cindy is happy the land is going to be used for something positive," Burns said. "But Cindy does not plan to have a continued presence there."

A telephone message left Friday with Walker, a former TV news anchorwoman who hosts a weekend talk show on KTLK-AM in Los Angeles, was not immediately returned.

Burns said Sheehan has been a guest on Walker's show several times and that Walker supports Sheehan.

Sheehan initially planned to sell the land on eBay with an $80,000 starting bid but scrapped the idea after getting an offer from Walker, Burns said. Since she bought the property last year for $52,500, Sheehan's group put in gravel roads, cleared brush, planted gardens and made other improvements that boosted the land's value, Burns said.

Sheehan had said she would not willingly sell to Move America Forward, an organization that supports the U.S. intervention in Iraq, which wanted to buy the land to erect a monument. The land in Crawford, about 100 miles south of Fort Worth, is about 7 miles from Bush's ranch.

Additional coverage is found at the Los Angeles Times.


For both sides, this is great deal: Sheehan's oddly ironic embrace of capitalism (what would Hugo Chavez think?) nets a nice return, while Walker builds moonbat street cred and promotes her obscure libtalk show.

But how relevant is the land to their movement at this point? With Bush's second term beginning to wind down, it's hard to imagine the point of beating this dead horse.
