I see Cindy Sheehan verbally spat upon here every day. 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 and she survived the ordeal alive.
Sorry, the Capitol Police have a compelling interest in maintaining order during the State of the Union speech. Room full of important people, and all that.
She gets exactly what she deserves.
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.
