NEW YORK - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said Tuesday she was hurt slightly in a scuffle that erupted when police broke up a rally as she was at the microphone.

An organizer was arrested and charged with using a loudspeaker without a permit.

“I was speaking and someone grabbed my backpack and pulled me back pretty roughly,” Sheehan said, describing the scene at Manhattan’s Union Square on Monday. “I was shoved around.”

And, boy, she sure does enjoy being a victim. Even her whiny, nasal voice is perfect for it.

On second thought, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than listen to Ms. Sheehan speak. Ugh.

Has she been "roughed up" before? If not why that face?

"“I was speaking and someone grabbed my backpack and pulled me back pretty roughly,” Sheehan said...."

What does Cindy need a backpack for? Sounds mighty suspicious, if you ask me!

'She fell down'!

Not that I believe her claims against the NYPD.

Sheehan, the grieving mother whose vigil near President Bush’s Texas ranch sparked anti-war protests around the country, said wasn’t roughed up by police, but was jostled when officers broke up the rally and arrested organizer Paul Zulkowitz.

Ok, why is the headline saying Sheehan was roughed up when she appears to be quoted saying she was not roughed up?

When involved in a riot, you are bound to get ruffled.

Thanks. As highlymotivated suggests, it's the only thing she can seem to keep under her hat. I recently saw some of the video from her last "rally" - I wanted to call it "Afternoon of a Loon".
