Reuters Additional Information

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police at the U.S. Capitol arrested anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Tuesday, shortly before President Bush was to give his annual State of the Union speech, a police spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman, Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, said she had no immediate details.

Sheehan had been invited to be a guest at the address to a joint session of Congress by U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a California Democrat.

Sheehan, who became a central figure for the U.S. anti-war movement after her soldier son Casey was killed in the Iraq war, won wide attention with an anti-war vigil outside Bush's Texas ranch.

CNN said Sheehan was arrested after unveiling a banner and was being held on Capitol Hill for about an hour, which would keep her away from the address, which was set to start at 9 p.m. EST.

Sheehan and other activists were arrested in September for protesting outside the White House without a permit, a misdemeanor that carriers a $50 fine.

Why am I not surprised?

Nowadays when anybody dares to tell truth to power, he or she is either arrested and thrown in jail or ridiculed as insane.

Uh, yeah, sure, MM. It's not like Sheehan has NEVER tried to get arrested before.

Were you born this stupid, or did you have to get a frontal lobotomy first?

Give the thread a read, its pretty good.

Initially, prior to knowledge of her actions, it was unanimous that this was the facist Bush police state in action. Arresting her for her for simply being there, and ignoring her valid ticket and right to be there.

Then the fights break out about wether or not she should have done it.

DUmmie threads are good reading and worth checking out. At least a couple threads a day. If you are not on the DUmmie FUnnies ping list, I suggest getting on it. Contact PJ-Comix

She violated a rule of decorum and is being kicked out. The State of the Union Address is neither the time nor the place.

Hey, I'm sure the Capitol Police have been following our (FR's) threads about these Moonbats and possible plans they might have made for tonight.

How did she even get the banner in? When I visited both houses of congress the search was quite thorough

Would YOU want to perform a thorough search of Cindy Sheehan?

Being a liberal must really require a low IQ.
