Antiwar protestor Cindy Sheehan and others drowned out House Democrats by shouting at a news conference today. I love it! Can you say, "Biting the hand that feeds you"? BTW, the Democrats cut and ran.

Link, video, blog?

1/3/2007 2:19:35 PM

Didn't she get arrested again last week?

1/3/2007 2:37:34 PM

^^ This may come as a shock to you, but CNN, MSNBC, et al are not all over the story--as they would be if it were Republicans being shouted at by Sheehan. I have been unable to find a suitable link; I saw the incident on a TV report.

Do your own research. I mean, are you questioning whether or not this actually happened?

CNN had it hidden at the bottom of their front page article:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/03/bush/index.html

Quote :

"Bush, Democrats spar on spending, taxes ........ Democrats had hoped to present the Democratic takeover of Congress as a well-oiled machine. However, Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, Democratic Caucus chairman, had to abruptly end a press conference meant to showcase the Democratic ethics legislation when anti-war protestors started chants demanding that the Democrats defund the war in Iraq. The protestors were led by Cindy Sheehan, a well-known activist whose son was killed in Iraq. "We're here to let the Democrats know that the grassroots and the anti-war movement elected them to create change," said Sheehan after Emanuel ended the press conference. Sheehan said that she was joined by 70 protestors to hold the Democrats "accountable," saying they are pressing incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the new Democratic leadership to stop authorizing additional funds for the Iraq war. Sheehan said any additional authorizations would make the Democrats "co-conspirators" with the Republicans in what she described as "war crimes." "There is already enough money in their killing budget to bring the troops home," Sheehan said."

Perhaps the fact that this story has been virtually buried today is the real story. If Cindy Sheehan had shouted down Republicans, it would have been front-page, top-of-the-broadcast breaking news--but I couldn't even find an article. Typical liberal MSM bullshit.

to be fair the story about her being arrested at Bush's ranch last week didn't receive much press either.

people are just getting tired of her.

1/3/2007 3:37:14 PM

I question that every time I see anything. I should hope you do the same.

A simple "I saw this on X channel but haven't been able to verify it with a link" would have been sufficient.

1/3/2007 4:32:51 PM

was the attack explicitly against the democrats? What was it?

1/3/2007 4:53:36 PM

gave her about 90 seconds of coverage on NPR

"feeds" would imply that they gave a shit about her once her purpose was filled

1/3/2007 5:51:44 PM

because people on the right need to make all anti-war activitists look like raging fools. So they continue to cover her mess.

1/3/2007 5:55:35 PM

to be fair, this particular one IS a raging fool.

^ Cindy Sheehan showing "compassion" to anti-American propagandist and socialist Hugo Chavez:

Quote :

"Sheehan also noted that singer and activist Harry Belafonte recently called Bush 'the greatest terrorist in the world,' and said, 'I agree with him. George Bush is responsible for killing tens of thousands of innocent people.'"

we should also hang all the people who came out with those conspiracy theories in the 90s about bill clinton personally killing like 50 people.

1/4/2007 12:32:38 AM

^ Hugo Chavez is clearly an anti-American socialist, and Cindy Sheehan joined with him--arm in arm--to call our president the "greatest terrorist in the world" on foreign soil. Maybe some of you that have not traveled abroad just won't understand this: When you are on foreign soil, DO NOT criticize the United States, its leaders, or its policies--at the very least, it's bad form. At worst, it's a kind of treason, whether you get officially punished for it or not. Get it?

1/4/2007 1:07:37 AM

Is it America that he dislikes or the Bush Administration? Please make sure you still know the difference. Does America need to be a socialist nation for Mr. Chavez to like us again? Who knows, probably not. If Sheehan and Chavez want to skip and hold hands at the thought that Bush is horrible for this country and the world then more power to them.

1/4/2007 1:15:56 AM

Quote :

" you qualify for idiotic quote of the night "

It's not my fault bush's policies are currently responsible for killing thousands of innocent people

^^I guess I've committed treason many times over. Why again is it bad form and borderline treason to talk shit about the US government? You say that those of us who haven't travelled abroad won't understand this, but I have and I don't understand your point. Do my rights as an American citizen to a redress of grievance cease to exist once I leave US territory?

"Country stations across the United States have pulled the Chicks from playlists following reports that lead singer Natalie Maines said in a concert in London earlier this week that she was 'ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.'"

I didn't care for Bill Clinton, but I would never have said something like this about him on foreign soil. It's simply wrong.

You may say just about anything you like in this country, and I would support and fight for your right to do so--but I don't have to like or agree with what you're saying. If you're in a foreign country and you criticize this country--particularly in public--you should just move there permanently.
