Cindy Sheehan Arrested

Dan Mc Intyre · Dan Mc Intyre's Garage

So.... Cindy Sheehan's son dies fighting "for freedom" in Iraq . Then his mom gets arrested for, get this, using a loudspeaker without a permit at a protest. Further, she was injured slightly during the arrest. She claims excessive force was used for the "offense" committed.

I guess the freedom her son gave his life for didn't include freedom of speech for his mother.

If she was angry before, I can only imagine how she feels about her family's sacrifice now.

Jeez, I dunno. One would think losing her son was injury enough.

"She gained prominence when she staged a 26-day protest near Bush's ranch outside Crawford, Texas."

Twenty six days in Crawford, Texas? She's suffered enough.

when my dad passed, my grandfather told me, "a parent's greatest fear is to outlive their children".

i agree with dan, she has been hurting a long time.

Right.
But now she's a media whore.
I'm sure the police walked up to her without saying a word, and used excessice force.

Nope.
Only see it through my eyes.
Maybe she'll accidentally ingest a peanut.

Ok, so she needed a real beating and now you call her a whore. You are one enlightened individual.

Sheehan, the grieving mother whose vigil near President Bush's Texas ranch sparked anti-war protests around the country, said she wasn't roughed up by police, but was jostled...

Ummm...not necessarily. Exploitation, whether she did so to herself, or allowed others to exploit her for their own gain, was much of the cause.

No one, particularly other mothers who lost children in the war, needed this woman's continual reminder of how unjust the Iraq War is.

Cindy Sheehan is a liar and her injuries are more likely than not her responsibility...she is using the injuries she sustained to point her finger and pretend the victim...typical leftist strategy.

And the lefties only see this through the pro-communist anti-war propagandists staging...She is fueled and funded by pro-communist groups in tye-dye drag.

She does have freedom of speech... I don't get where the first poster thinks she doesn't..

... it's just in certain places, she DOES NOT have the right to blare that speech through a loudspeaker. (noise pollution)

Bush arrested Cindy Sheehan.

You guys can turn anything into a left-right argument.

I cite a passage that, IMO, makes this worthless in terms of news. The singular event of a person being jostled during a series of arrests is not news.

How do we know that she didn't fight or obstruct the police?

This is fit for police blotters, and that's the only place I'd want to see it in a newspaper. I wonder if anybody would (or could) discount politics and evaluate how worthwhile it is to read the article.

BZZZZZZT!
Thanks for playing.
Never called her a whore.
Called her an attention whore.
Different, wouldn't you agree?

Reding and comprenshin is hrd.
Something out of nothing.
Geeze, you argue like my wife...

Egad, Jostled? In the world's most civilized city, New York?

Sheeet, man. I get jostled every damn time I ride the subway. Get jostled trying to get a taxi during rush hour, or in line at the bank. Jostled in the daily bob and weave of life in this great urban Metropolis.

She don't know jostled.

lendaddy · 09-20-2005, 02:30 PM

She's a nutball. Grief has made her insane (real/clinical insanity)and I can understand that. The real idiots and bastards are the ones pushing her to do these things. Imagine how empty this woman will feel when her actions don't make her feel any less loss and her new "friends" are headed down the road with the media vans. Asssholes, all of them.
