And the moonbats are claiming this was surpression of the first amendment!!!

Police also removed a Congressional wife wearing a pro-troops shirt from last night's State of the Union Address:

ONE YEAR in jail. Here's hoping she gets the max.

In my limited experience more dissent is allowed on DU than on FR. For example, a post like yours in this thread would not be banned from DU.

Cindy Sheehan was probably removed from the SOU gallery to avoid the televised spectacle of Republicans spitting on her. Democrats would not spit on the mother of a deceased soldier, regardless of her political orientation.

You can cut out your holier-than-thou stuff now, please.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!

LOL. I know someone who was banned from DU for saying he didn't like the former lead singer of Rage Against the Machine's musical abiliites.

No. Andy from WKRP would make a much more convincing female than Sheehan.

Nothing against the actor. Cindy Sheehan is just THAT ugly and completely undesirable.

Has there been any proof that she was hand cuffed? I have yet to see a photo.

Really? They certainly have no problem spitting on the soldier.

You must be joking. Republicans spat upon Cindy Sheehan?!? LOL When did that happen? Or did you only imagine that happened, thus it must have happened?

Kind of like how the Bush National Guard documents were "fake but accurate"? Please!

There's a scripture about a "spirit of grief" - and if you allow it to overtake you - it will take you places you did not want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you can pay.

[RushCrush]

Pretty sad, actually.

[RushCrush]

truth to power

That is the most ridiculous, over-used phrase ever.

[MurryMom]

I see Cindy Sheehan verbally spat upon here every day. It doesn't require any leap of faith to imagine what the Republicans would have done to Cindy last night if her First Amendment rights had not been violated and she survived the ordeal alive.

[Niuhuru]

She really is becoming unhinged.

[popdonnelly]

Sorry, the Capitol Police have a compelling interest in maintaining order during the State of the Union speech. Room full of important people, and all that.

[popdonnelly]

"She really is becoming unhinged."

She's unhinged, and the Congresswoman who gave her the invitation is unscrupulous.

[rip033]

Exactly. She had no right to disrupt it. She wants to protest do it out with the rest of them that were doing it last night. Our tax money and votes go toward these annual gatherings and she is wasn't there as an elected official. So she had no purpose to inject herself into the process. She was an invited guest only and when your a guest in anyone's house you follow their rules or leave and show some courtesy! Arrogant, self serving, manipulative women she is. She's a user and from what I have read about her she has always has been. I use to feel pity for her but now I just don't like her period.

"I see Cindy Sheehan verbally spat upon here every day.

She gets exactly what she deserves.

Do you have any idea how much it sucks to have Woolsey, Boxer and Feinstein as representatives?

BTW, Woolsey is dumb as a box of rocks.

Her claim to fame: a welfare Mom who got elected to Congress.
