Re: Cindy Shehan arrested

Muttleys sentiments and mine are about the same on that subject. :) <br /><br />She has had her 15 minutes of fame. I hope she can find peace about the loss of her son.

"Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was taken into custody by police in the House gallery Tuesday night just before President Bush's State of the Union address. <br /><br />Police escorted Sheehan from the visitors' gallery above the House chamber after causing a disruption, said a Capitol Police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the incident were sketchy.

It sounds like she was trying to unveil an anti<br />war banner. And was removed by security and held <br />for over an hour so she could not return to the<br />state of the union address.

Re: Cindy Shehan arrested

and now the funny thing is she seems to have been arrested for wearing a T shirt with a slogan the present jack booted folks dont like on the suspicion she may do something. what a wonderful world.<br /> maybe her phone and email had been tapped as ya never know she could be a terrorist.<br /> I dont like her view but if you can be arrested for wearing a tshirt on a suspicion ya might say something the jack boots wont like its a sad day.

Its the State of the union address. Not a protest<br />platform or a circus. They had every right to kick<br />her sorry a$$ out.

I agree with NOSLEEP as far as squelching the possibility of some "sideshow" type antics during the Presidents State of The Union Address.

Re: Cindy Shehan arrested

She had been standing with the visitors and had a jacket on. She had been warned not to make a scene at this event in the most polite way. She chose to take off her jacket and reveal an anti-war Tshirt and parade in front of the cameras, or the cameras were just waiting to add to her 15 seconds. She was arrested, charged with a misdemeanor, and released before his speech was even over. As far as I'm concerned she made a bad decision and now she paid the consequences as small as they may be.

Re: Cindy Shehan arrested

at least she was just as embarressing in venezuela last week. <br /> now she says she is gonna set up camp again, I dont agree with her tactics but as long as no laws are broken she can wear any tshirt she wishes.<br /> may as well have had a side show, nothing else happened at the speech.<br />lots of lofty ideas lots of lip flapping and banna peeling but not much on where the counrty is at, how it got here and whats for the future other than lofty ideas.

She was also attempting to hang a anti-war banner. She was kicked out for violating the rules of the House and Senate. Now the kook is planing to run for the Senate. The sad part about it is there are folks that would vote for her.

That is true OUTSIDE the facilties. The House of Representatives and The Senate have their rules. One of them is wearing clothing with a message i.e. the T-shirt the woman wore inside the chambers. <br /><br />She broke the rules. She was expelled and should have been.<br /><br />BTW... The above info came from the newly appointed Democratic Senator from New Jersey this morning on Fox News.

Re: Cindy Shehan arrested

I knew I'd find a thread on this stupid beech this morning. Sure I feel bad for her losing a son. That being said.........<br /><br />I'd like to know what this stupid dumazz senator or whatever from California that invited her as a "guest" was thinking. Why not just bring a terrorist or Al Queda member with her, to show them our ways. WTF, it's the President's State of the Union, shouldn't they have the equivalent of a "no fly" list at the door? I can not believe they let her in DC at this point......Done with rant. Comments? :D :D :D

Re: Cindy Shehan arrested

I think it was amazing they did let her in. She could have just been there without the shirt or banner and I am sure the cameras would have had her in the limelight. I am sure someone would have tipped the networks that she was in the audience.<br /><br />But she couldn't just sit there in silent protest.<br /><br />That really should tell ya why kind of person she is.<br /><br />Ken

Cindy Sheehan and her husband divorced when the son was very young. She let her husband take the boy---she had no interest in raising him. She was more interested in promoting her communist cause. She has shamelessly capitalized on his death to do so, and that's why I think she's one of the most despicable people to ever have the limelight. The woman is an absolute fruitcake.
