Cindy Sheehan In Handcuffs Led Out of the State of the Union Address

[Warlady]

Whoa

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:smirky: What idiot invited her?

[SmellyFed]

Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., had invited Sheehan to the address as her guest.

[Warlady]

Fox announced it but I failed to write down her name. My bad.

Activist Cindy Sheehan Arrested at Capitol


By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer 5 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was arrested and removed from the House gallery Tuesday night just before President Bush's State of the Union address, a police spokeswoman said.

Sheehan, who had been invited to attend the speech by Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., was charged with demonstrating in the Capitol building, a misdemeanor, said Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider. Sheehan was taken in handcuffs to police headquarters a few blocks away and her case was processed as Bush spoke...Entire Article.

She should just go directly to the jail by herself before she starts a protest. It'd just simply save time...

[TSawyer2112]

Here's a link (http://us.news3.yimg.com/us.i2.yimg.com/p/rids/20060201/i/r845958745.jpg?x=380&y=269&sig=QzQs_awRg_OP5LLIznTGfw--) to a photo of Sheehan being escorted out.

I cannot believe that I actually had to hear that moron's name at the beginning of this wonderful speech by our President. Thank you Fox news for making reserved comments about a woman who is completely repulsive to this entire nation..

blech!

[Peachdiane]

How many times has this harridan been arrested anyway??

I'm guessing she had both a tshirt and banner she tried to unfurl. Man, she's like a bad penny that keeps coming back....

[SmellyFed]

According to Chris Matthews, she was wearing a t-shirt that said:

2245, how many more?

So the "unfurling" may well have just been when she took off her coat.

[Rink]

Methinks Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif needs to be jailed for this stupid stunt, knowing full well just what Cindy Sheehag would do there.

[Timberwolf]

Mizzzzz Shehag reminds me of the mother of all diaper rashes....just won't go away no matter HOW much Desenex is applied!!!

[Melz]

Fox News said she was about to unfurl a banner too, no idea what that said. She was probably giddy about having her nappy-ass face on tv and name in the news again.

Why is she still here? I don't even know many liberals who support the wacko.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

I just love it when the President addresses the nation ... I actually get to watch Fox News! Our local Fox affiliate switched to national Fox coverage for the speech and dim response :thumb: . Talk about a TOTAL difference in coverage ... the limited Fox coverage ended a few minutes after the dim address, and so I switched to ABC (just on the off chance that Boston Legal would be on, LOL). Talk about night and day between coverage! The very FIRST thing I heard on ABC, was some reporterette talking about how President Bush didn't say anything new -- that she felt he co-opted parts from different past speeches! UNBELIEVEABLE!

If only she would spend her days over there counting how many more, we would be free of the bitch.

Alas, probably not. She would hurt the military even more than she already has, if that is possible.

Oh what the hell, send her "mourning" ass over there anyway.

Step 2: Hang her for Treason.

[Melz]

She won't go away if assmites keep inviting her.

[MSGT]

Ya know, I've come to learn that not much in life can't be accomplished with a real good ass whooping. You can turn a pacifist into a militarist. It turns stupid into understanding. It turns atheist into Christians {or at least deist}. It turns crooks into citizens. It just depends on how good an ass whooping you give so I say whoop that ass, SS.

[Rink]

They need to send Cindy Sheehag to Al-Quaida so they can have a blonde Western woman to play with.

[Warlady]

Woolsey offered Sheehan a ticket to the speech — Gallery 5, seat 7, row A — earlier Tuesday while Sheehan was attending an "alternative state of the union" press conference by CODEPINK, a group pushing for an end to the Iraq war.

Sheehan, wrapped in a bright pink scarf against the cold, protested outside the White House with a handful of others before heading to the Capitol Tuesday evening. There were no cameras around, but the small band faced the executive mansion and repeatedly shouted, "You're evicted! Get out of our house!"

I have news for you bitch. It ain't YOUR house. Your candidate didn't get elected. OURS DID. It isn't your house to dictate who goes and who leaves. If your hostess is trying to make us think you were wearing that pink scarf to sheild you from the cold you both are pissing in the wind. We're smarter than both of you combined.

[Melz]

Screaming and yelling, thinking everything is HER RIGHT, her ownership, her place. STUPID LIBERAL. Yeah, that was a general broad based comment on liberals.

You folks invited her nastyass in our lives, now deal with the fact that we find everything she does in perfect alignment with the liberal mantra, the crux of the liberal hate and MO.

This bitch is not mourning, I assure you. She probably is not even profiting (go figure, being jobless in a tent stalking someone is not profitable). She sure has your talking points down though! Or she has some great print-outs of 'what to say while making an ass of your homely-heartless-unAmerican ass.

Is there a difference?

Fire the bitch up. If she keeps getting arrested, find a way to keep her there for an un-enjoyable amount of time. Then, perhaps she would find less enjoyment in constantly gettint arrested.

And then she willl also seem normal flashing her infectified panties.

YUCK

[Warlady]

Melz, I agree with you except for the part about her not being profitable. She has book deals and movie deals. She WILL profit from the death of her son who gave his life so that we will be free from terrorism. She makes me ill.

[Melz]

WL, I think what I meant is (and I didn't say it correctly) is that someone told her that she would be more than she has become. She fell for it, she ran with it. Money-wise, she can make ...thousands..or whatever.

She is not only unAmerican, she is an inhumane. She will profit less from her son's death than any of us benefited from his life and his service to this country.

Nothing she has done is profitable in my eyes.

Perhaps that is what I meant, I never know the right way to say things.

[Rink]

The 'B-i-itch' has blood on her hands with her hobknobbing with every leftist and communist pissant across the globe.

I feel sory for her ex-husband and children, who have to see her as their mother and ex-wife no matter what.

THAT has GOT to be hard to see their mother make an ass out of herself constantly like this, when they truly needed her the most she ups and leaves them for the political limelight.

It has GOT to be damned bitter for them to put up with and swallow having a mother and ex-wife like that.

[Nutrider99]

As I noted above, Chris Matthews said her banner was actually a T-shirt and it said, "2245, how many more?"
That was just the number of men she's slept with. It had nothing to do with the dead in Iraq.

[DeclinetoState]

I feel sory for her ex-husband and children, who have to see her as their mother and ex-wife no matter what.
Why do you think the father of her kids is her ex-husband?

The rest of the family can't divorce her, unfortunately.

[SmellyFed]

That was just the number of men she's slept with. It had nothing to do with the dead in Iraq.

I agree with the sentiment, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find 4 men willing to sleep with her... let alone 2245.

[Rhino]

I agree with the sentiment, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find 4 men willing to sleep with her... let alone 2245.Actually it was four! 2245 was their combined weight.

[Wolfcounsel]

The Turd That will not Flush is a good title for her movie.

[Rhino]

She has a movie?

Idiot.

[Lazarus]

Fox News said she was about to unfurl a banner too, no idea what that said...My question is, How could Capitol Security allow her it enter WITH the banner in the first place? She should have been stopped before she even entered the House chamber... Then they could have had their confrontation without disturbing the speech...

And as for that California Representative, she should be censured for assisting such a stunt - because a stunt is all it was... An action intended to embarrass the President... It reflects VERY badly on the House of Representatives and especially the Democratic Party, that looks like exactly what they are - Spoiled, Pouting Adolescent Punks out of control... They have no standards and they have no code... They dont even promote the liberal agenda any longer... They have become circus clowns...

If liberals want to inject their ideas into the national debate in a serious, responsible way, they are going to have to abandon the "Circus Party" and establish a new party to present their ideas to America...

Cindy Sheehan tells her side of the story on her Michaelmoore.com blog:



Dear Friends,
As most of you have probably heard, I was arrested before the State of the Union Address tonight.
I am speechless with fury at what happened and with grief over what we have lost in our country.
There have been lies from the police and distortions by the press. (Shocker) So this is what really happened:
This afternoon at the People's State of the Union Address in DC where I was joined by Congresspersons Lynn Woolsey and John Conyers, Ann Wright, Malik Rahim and John Cavanagh. Lynn brought me a ticket to the State of the Union Address. At that time, I was wearing the shirt that said: 2,245 Dead. How many more?
<snip>

I had just sat down and I was warm from climbing 3 flights of stairs back up from the bathroom so I unzipped my jacket. I turned to the right to take my left arm out, when the same officer saw my shirt and yelled, "Protester." He then ran over to me, hauled me out of my seat and roughly (with my hands behind my back) shoved me up the stairs. I said something like, "I'm going, do you have to be so rough?"

<snip>


After I had my personal items inventoried and my fingers printed, a nice Sgt. came in and looked at my shirt and said, "2,245, huh? I just got back from there."
I told him that my son died there. :bdh: That's when the enormity of my loss hit me. I have lost my son. :bdh: I have lost my First Amendment rights.:bdh: I have lost the country that I love. :bdh: Where did America go?:bdh: I started crying in pain. :bdh:

<snore>


I wore the shirt to make a statement. The press knew I was going to be there and I thought every once in awhile they would show me and I would have the shirt on. I did not wear it to be disruptive, or I would have unzipped my jacket during George's speech. If I had any idea what happens to people who wear shirts that make the neocons uncomfortable...that I would be arrested...maybe I would have, but I didn't.

<snip>

There have already been many wild stories out there. I have some lawyers looking into filing a First Amendment lawsuit against the government for what happened tonight. I will file it. It is time to take our freedoms and our country back.

That is so not true. You do know the right way to say things. I am the one who misread you. I totally agree with your post. She will pay a price on judgement day. I would bet money on it.

[Warlady]

Sorry Cindy but I ain't buyin'. The SOTUA is not the place for protestors. Classless bitch.

[Republican_Legion]

Cindy Sheehan tells her side of the story on her Michaelmoore.com blog:

Cindy posed a threat to the president by showing up there.
Her 1st amendment rights dont mean shit when shes threating the president and obstructing justice.

[Melz]

Wonder how many of that "some lawyers" who are looking to sue the government on her behalf belong to the ACLU?

There is no doubt in my mind that she knew she would be arrested and intended to do just that. No mention of her would have been made if she had attended and sat there quietly. She wanted to make a statement and by getting arrested she can make that statement even louder.

[TechnoPrincess]

Don and Roma interviewed Denny Hasterd (SP?) - the Speaker of the House - today and he basically said that they would have done the same thing ANY DAY, but especially for the State of the Union Address. The gallery is for OBSERVING the proceedings in the House, not for making political statements!

[Lazarus]

Are there actually people still out there who wait with baited breath on her next public comment? Could there actually be people this gullible and stupid walking the streets without minders?

She has become so irrelevant that she can only get press coverage by making a spectacle of herself at an official government event... What will she do next for attention - Will she run nekkid thru the Rose Garden the next time Bush stands for PR pics while shaking hands with the PM of Austalia?

Every statement she makes is so melodramatic, how could even the most jaded 1960's flower-child anti-war activist take her seriously?

Those are all very good questions!!

Why is this even news? Bush has had protesters removed and arrested at his speaking engagements since he was running for president 6 years ago.

I am surprised they even let the Dem Senators and Representatives attend. They should have arrested those creeps who didn't stand up and clap every 30 seconds like everyone else did. In fact we should hang all those guys for treason as well. You better darn well clap when the President says something.

This isn't anything the President ordered - it's something necessary for maintaining the decorum of the SOTU speech. A Republican Congressman's wife was also removed last night and a few years ago a Republican Protestor was removed during one of President Clinton's speeches.

There's a time for protesting but it's not when you're in the gallery at the SOTU, as the guest of a US Congressperson or Senator.

Exactly. Isn't it all about timing? Taking her jacket off in front of a security guard revealing her protest shirt was no coincidence. It was premeditated for sure.

Princess the speaker of the House is Dennis Hastert. You were pretty close lol.

[TechnoPrincess]

Princess the speaker of the House is Dennis Hastert. You were pretty close lol.

THANK YOU!

Here in Illinois we affectionatly call him Denney, the last name was what tripped me up....

Every time that he calls in to Don and Roma he reminds me that at least some Illinois voters have a brain! Although how we ended up with our two senators is still a bad dream!!! :uhh:

[jAk]

I would be all for the forced execution of this bitch. I seriously want to strangle her myself.

[ConspiracyBuff]

Today in my college class for journalism we discussed the Presidents speech. Led by our liberal teacher, and her ACLU guest we never made it past Cindy's antics. Nothing said in the speech was discussed, just the 1st Amendment and whether she violated it. I gave the ACLU women some hard questions and she didnt want to butt heads. She stated that the ACLU is non-partisan and its one job is to uphold the Bill of Rights. She went on to describe certain things the ACLU deals with, making it a point to tell the room full of college(majority liberal) students, that the ACLU is for complete decriminalization of drug crimes because its racist. When we got into Cindy we never came back. Many people didnt see Sheehans protest as wrong, however, they also didnt really support her. I explained she is a nutcase, most people believe that she is and understand she lost a son in the war, is in pain and is lashing out. To me, since it is clearly prohibited to protest in the gallery, she violated that, her shirt is a blatant protest. They also kicked out a Rep. wife for a "support the troops" shirt, probably the teacher concluded, in order to offset Cindy's actions so as to not look partisan. I guess, other than discussing Cindy, i was alittle PO'd that we never even got into the Address. This is not the place for protest, its for listening, understanding and afterwards analyzing the speech. At that point differing views and opinions can be said and discussed and together a clear plan for change can come about. This is the way of a democracy. I liked alot of what Bush had to say, and i hope many of his proposals gain ground, especially the ones which soothe some green party ideals(alternative energy, non-dependant on oil).

I agree. I would like to see our country become less dependent on foreign oil. Most of our oil comes from Canada and Venuzuala, the remainder comes from the Middle East and I think a small portion comes from a couple European states, and even some more comes from Africa. Now, considering the trouble we are having with Venuzuala and the Middle East, oil prices are not going to be in our hands a majority of the time anymore. It is nice to see that this fact is recognized.

As for Sheehan, I still say someone shoot her for me. Please.

[ponch21]

So the only ones who can protest or support are the people on the floor?

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others????

The only participants in the process are on the floor - yes. The duly elected representatives of our government and their official appointees. The gallery are the onlookers and they get to be in the building and watch.
