Sheehan’s act is getting so tired and old. What a bore that woman is.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan told the crowd is was time to be assertive.

“It’s time to lay our bodies on the line and say we’ve had enough,” she said. “It’s time to shut this city down.”

That sounds like what the Terrorists want to do. Except the Terrorists want to mass murder us in the process, while on the other hand Sheehan will ultimately enable them to do so. What’s the difference? Dead is dead.

[FreedomCalls]

Typical of them.

...."It's time to shut this city down."

So General Cindy has her own army and is screeching orders? Or is it Captain Ironic?

[freekitty]

More like Private Stupid.

What a contrast - Cindy and her merry band of idiots could learn a lot from this guy if only they would:

"Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, speaking from a stage to crowds clad in camouflage, American flag bandanas and Harley Davidson jackets, said he wanted to send three messages. "Congress, quit playing games with our troops. Terrorists, we will find you and kill you," he said. "And to our troops, we're here for you, and we support you."

Somebody should have thrown a net over the whole bunch.

Thought: Republican convention, the Police in Minneapolis could use some training like this opportunity would offer.

I really wanna knock the crap out of the people holding that sign.

"We're occupying a people who do not want us there," Cliburn said of Iraq.

The people that worry me the most are the ones that don't know. And, they don't know that they don't know.

I hope that's clear.

The poles for the sign would be a way to save wear and tear on the hands.

"It's time to shut this city down."

I kind of agree with Cindy. I'd like to see Washington shut down for 10 months every year.

As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know. —Feb. 12, 2002, Department of Defense news briefing

"It's time to lay our bodies on the line and say we've had enough," she said. "It's time to shut this city down."

LOLOL! This was tried in the '70s as the smelly elite tried to shut D.C. down on May Day.

[I still care]

You know, the way the article is written, at first I thought that was what the protesters were saying. I was puzzled because it doesn’t fit their message.

[jmaroneps37]

The thing that struck me about the scumbags in their march was how marginal the vast majority of them were. I would say not more than 15% of them looked like actual people who lived next door and just had a difference of opinion.
The worst pukes I saw were guys who were dressed to show they were veterans. They should know better but as they say in the marine corps, “There’s always that 10%.”
The saddest sight was a Roman Catholic priest who had no answer for me when I pointed out that he was marching with a group selfidentyfing as PLO scummers.
They started an hour and forty five mins. late and made no impression except on themselves.

Per highly liberal Yahoo there were several thousand anti-war protesters and nearly one thousand pro troops. CANSWER organizers said they had 100,000.

Based on observable history I would guess that the commies had less than the Americans and no where near 100,000.

I remember back in the '90s when a San Francisco talk show host (I think it was Michael Savage when he was still at KSFO) had a protest rally and got 5000 people. It wasn't even reported, but there was radio and TV coverage of a little group of under 10 a couple blocks away who were protesting the way poor President Scumbag was being treated.
