Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was arrested Tuesday night before the start of the president's State of the Union address. A guest of California representative Lynn Woolsey, who has called for pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq, Sheehan was handcuffed in the House chamber for wearing an anti-war T-shirt.

I wonder when the stupid rat who gave her the guest pass will apologise-there's no way that she couldn't know that Crazy Cindy would pull a stunt like this. She was probably hoping for it.Rats are traitors,every stinking one of them.

Cindy Sheehan is exactly the what we need to start a civil war within the Democratic Party. The days of "let's tell them what they want to hear in order to get elected" are over. 9/11 changed that. They tried it one last time in '04, but it didn't work. Next time around, the MoveOn and Daily Kos crowd will turn the next Dem convention into a replay of '68 and '72 if they don't get a McGovern or a McCarthy as their nominee.

Personally, I can't wait.

Makes you wonder whatever happened to the "3 Strikes Law."

It wasn't the dimwit's shirt, she was trying to put up an anti-war, impeach Bush banner!

I can't believe that someone that has worked so hard to get where they are would invite someone with such low character to such a great event. Says something about the character of Lynn Woolsey now, doesn't it?

There's an article in "Roll Call"(I haven't read the whole article,just an excerpt) where some unnamed aides to Rat senators are saying that some of the senators are really angry at sKerry for his last-minute grandstanding filibuster effort. I love it when they turn on each other,saves a Republican from having to get too close to the smelly traitors.

Lets face it... she likes being ugly.

30 days in a DC jail would not improve mother cindy's mental condition. However, it would be great for the morale of the country.

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.

Cindys own words on DailyKos, she wanted to be seen, loves the spotlight and will not relenquish it easily. She'll make a scene wherever she goes, the protest types wear an arrest as a badge of honor... Never mind that they are, in fact, breaking the law. They violate laws/rules get arrested and then sue, b/c how could THEY have THEIR rights infringed on.

Note to Cindy and her mindless minions: Stop breaking the law and you wont be treated as a criminal, seems like logic a 3 year old could comprehend.

"It was a shirt that she revealed when she sat down. They would have never let her in with a banner."

Interesting.... I see that now in the news. So the DU people got it right before the media.

If she runs for senate, I suggest we all send her money.....she could win the primary and unseat DIFI. We could then actually contemplate a republican senator from California.
