Cindy Sheehan was arrested (again) after being INVITED to the Capitol to join the others at the State of the Union Address. She came there wearing a war protest shirt and was arrested after refusing to cover it up. They were afraid that she was going to protest the war and she was removed.
I love that crap. Cindy Sheehan is really a joke. I mean, she was invited to the State of the Union Address and she chose to blow it off by wearing a t-shirt that protested the war. I mean, so her son died and I know that is a terrible thing for anyone to go through but other people's sons and daughters have died and they didn't make such a big deal out of it. I mean, I think she is just some hippie who LIVES to draw attention. What do you think?

You're about right. A State of the Union Address is a formal event. Everyone should adhere to that simple request.
There is a time and a place for everything. Last night was neither the time nor the place for Cindy's tantrum.
The thing that bugs me about her is not the fact that she opposes the war. It's the was that she uses her sons death as a rally point. He did NOT die so that she could protest.

Sheehan is doing this for one person....Cindy Sheehan.
She is a smacked ass, pure and simple.

yes he did...the whole argument for war in iraq, is war on terror...and that is based on the ousted ruling regime being tyrannical, and being against free-speech. her son's death permits and extends the right to free-speech to the rest of the world...and she is exercising her inalienable right to say what she thinks

She WAS exercizing that right. At this point, she has become a caricature, a joke, a farce, a punchline to a joke.
Her act has grown stale, even with those on the left.
Time to move on, Cindy. Your 15 minutes were up quite a while ago.

Well, I do agree that she should be able to say what she thinks. That is one of the basic freedoms that come along with living in the States. I think she is using her son's death in the wrong way. Perhaps she is using her family's loss for her own personal gain.

I don't agree. I think making an ass out of yourself does NOT constitute free speech. She needs to go back home to the trailer park.
This is the greatest country in the world. After hearing John Kerry's attempted filibuster, I just laugh at all those who thought we'd be better off with him. What a maroon.
Nice Brenski. Good argument.

Filibuster is nothing compared to lying about the reasons to go to war, links to lobbyists, and hiring unqualified people for high government positions just because they happen to be your old-time buddies.
That's like comparing the local shoplifter teenager to a serial killer.

Capitol police also escorted out Beverly Young, wife of Representative C.W. "Bill" Young (R-Florida), from the visitors gallery for wearing a shirt with a slogan backing the war in Iraq: "Support the Troops — Defending Our Freedom." Bill Young later told reporters his wife was humiliated and suggested Capitol police undergo sensitivity training.

LOL - She would not survive one minute on QZ. Did anyone tell Beverly where to stick that sensitivity training?

IMO, Sheehan IS exercising one of her basic freedoms, though the State of the Union address was in no way the proper forum for her to do so. There is specific attire and attitude necessary for an event like that and she did not follow it. Especially after she was invited and expected to behave accordingly as a guest.
That said, she in general rubs me the wrong way. I mean, protesting outside of Bush's ranch when he is not there? Can someone inform me the point of this? Also, what is supposed to be about her son has turned out to be 100% her. I mean:
Cindy Sheehan results - 3,930,000
Casey Sheehan results - 229,000
I believe that speaks for itself.
