You have my sympathy!! I lived in CA for nearly seven years ~ I'm familiar with the kind of nut cases who've migrated there! (most of the native CA's I know are great people)

What is really scary about that is, with voters who'd elect a person like woolsey, sheehan probably would stand a good chance of getting elected ~ then we'd never stop hearing about her! URG!

What I'm hoping for is that Sheehan actually runs against Feinstein, splits the wacko vote - while the Republicans run a candidate with a chance of winning.

How about the other Gold Star moms who don't support the political party you want them to vote for?

Are you merely going to spit upon them or commit mayhem and murder?

It wasn't just the T shirt, Cindy unfurled a banner. We're lucky she didn't throw a bucket of blood.

The real Gold Star moms don't support Sheehan's freedom fighters/terrorists

Sheehan deserves our scorn and so do you for defending her

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

She doesn't have a First Amendment right to break the rules of the House of Representatives.

and she survived the ordeal alive.

Why on EARTH would we kill her? She's MUCH more valuable to us alive than dead.

She is the face of the Democratic Party -- your face.

The woman with the pro=troops shirt was moved but not arrested. I think it would have been better for Scree-ham to simply be removed as well, since now she can squawk about being "unfairly treated".

For the luvva Pete, I just want this woman to shut her pie hole.

I spit on this:

AP - Sun Jan 29, 5:42 PM ET In this photo released by Venezuela's Miraflores Press, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez embraces visiting U.S. peace activist Cindy Sheehan, left, whose son was killed in Iraq, and Elma Beatriz Rosado, the widow of slain Puerto Rican nationalist Filiberto Ojeda Rios during his national broadcast 'Hello President' in Caracas, Venezuela, Sunday, Jan. 29, 2006. All three joined in condemning the government of U.S. President George W. Bush. ss (AP Photo/Miraflores,Francisco Batista)

She's all YOURS now.

What's the source for the banner? I can't find more than 1 news article which doesn't mention the T-shirt, and it's old (yesterday). I think the banner thing was an old Reuters report that got it wrong.

She should have just been escorted out, quietly and without fuss, to avoid her yap trigger.

This is from the REAL Gold Star Mothers website.

Is Cindy Sheehan part of your group?

Cindy Sheehan is currently in the news. She and her organization have no connection whatever with American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. We are a 501 C(3) organization and, as such, do not engage in political activities. We do support our troops. After all, they are our children.

The difference being whether or not the second woman behaved disruptively or cooperatively with Capitol police.

You can't seriously believe that an individual crank should have the right to disrupt at will any government gathering meant for the other 299,000,000 Americans without any restrictions whatsoever. American law adheres to the "reasonable man" principle.

Congressperson Woolsey fails to understand that security sometimes trumps free speech:

"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."

You aren't serious.......are you?

"Democrats would not spit on the mother of a deceased soldier, regardless of her political orientation."

No, more likely -- they would call the deceased soldiers "baby-killers" or "terrorists".

Woolsey stifled MY free speech when I personally took her to task for her assault on the Boy Scouts.

She's the lowly scum who started the attacks on the Scouts in Congress. I believe she has a son who is a homo.
