WASHINGTON (AP) - Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son's death in Iraq to spur the anti-war movement, was arrested Monday while protesting outside the White House.
Sheehan and several dozen other protesters sat down on the sidewalk after marching along the pedestrian walkway on Pennsylvania Avenue. Police warned them three times that they were breaking the law by failing to move along, then began making arrests.
Sheehan, 48, was the first taken into custody. She stood up and was led to a police vehicle while protesters chanted, "The whole world is watching."
Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in an ambush in Sadr City, Iraq, last year. She attracted worldwide attention last month with her 26-day vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch.
Sheehan was among several hundred demonstrators who marched around the White House on Monday and then stopped in front and began singing and chanting "Stop the war now!"
The demonstration is part of a broader anti-war effort on Capitol Hill organized by United for Peace and Justice, an umbrella group. Representatives from anti-war groups were meeting Monday with members of Congress to urge them to work to end the war and bring home the troops.
No! We're! Not!
Lets hope she acts out and mouths off at the judge.
I heard her voice for the first time today.She actually sounds as if she's medicated tome.
She is smiling because she finally got a good-looking man to put his hand on her thigh.
Poor Casey, having to deal with that his whole life. No wonder he got as far away from her as he could. She's doing every thing she can to disgrace him.
they had to TOUCH ( UGH! ) her?
They should have beat her like Rodney King.
Forty-eight? No way. She looks 60 if she looks a day...
"The whole world is watching."
By the way, might I add what a bunch of narcisstic low lives these people are? They really think normal people care about their adolescent, have-no-life, think-they're-more-important-than-they-are antics.
The world is watching? I'll tell you who's watching: Al Qaeda. And they're being emboldened by what these people are doing. More people will die as a result. But then that's what these Al Qaeda enablers on the left want.
You have to feel for the cops who had to actually touch that hideous beast. Gawd I would go home and shower for a week to wash the stench of her she-male self off.
Drudge's main page uses an interesting choice of words...
"...cunning stunt..."
Hmmm...
Think he has gloves on at least.
Ha! She is probably a cunning liguist too.
She could've at least worn jeans or a Hillary suit.
Um I hate to say this and I am a female and I hate those words, but I think DRUDGE actually wishes he could post those words a wee bit differently! I'm bad!
You know...I saw that and didn't think about it until now. Hmmm...is right. :)
