Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan's was arrested at Tuesday night's State of the Union address after she refused to yield to warnings from Capitol Hill police to cover up an anti-war T-shirt she was wearing underneath her coat.
Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider told the Associated Press that Sheehan kept the anti-war slogan covered until she took her seat. When they noticed her politically charged attire, police warned Sheehan that such displays were not allowed.
The celebrated anti-war protester ignored the warnings, police said.
Police handcuffed Sheehan and escorted her from the gallery about 15 minutes before the president arrived.

A woman can get away with what she has and still walk away? Yes, even at that, I am glad she can walk away. This is a massive demonstration of the rights of an individual.That this gad-fly is tolerated again and again. That her physical safety is virtually guaranteed. That in even so-called democracies she would have been locked up or intimidated.
What a marvellous country is America. Sadly, Cindy does not seem to know it.
I hold it this of George W. Bush.
His moral resolution stamps him as one of the greatest leaders to emerge in the last 100 years.

Cindy needs to buy a long trench coat, go to London, and jump the turnstiles to the subway on her way home from a mosque.

Cindy Sheehan sure is living well off her son's death. What a vampire.

Tim Kaine, Gov. VA (D) gave dem response to SOTU. I fell asleep.
To: Aussie Dasher
I think it is remarkable that an elected democrat invited a woman who has been stalking the president for 6 months into the house chamber.
To: Aussie Dasher
The moonbat Sheehan could've waited until the speech started to unveil the T-shirt for the TV cameras when it panned her way.
Would've been great TV to see her get the boot.

Aren't martyrs supposed to set themselves on fire in protest? If she could convince her followers to do the same, along with her, somewhere in D.C. all at once, they could send a powerful message to THE MAN.
