Anti-war mother's speech cut short
New York police: Group lacked loudspeaker permit
NEW YORK (AP) -- Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said Tuesday she was hurt slightly in a scuffle that erupted when police broke up a rally as she was at the microphone.

An organizer was arrested and charged with using a loudspeaker without a permit.

"I was speaking and someone grabbed my backpack and pulled me back pretty roughly," Sheehan said, describing the scene at Manhattan's Union Square on Monday. "I was shoved around."

Sheehan, the grieving mother whose vigil near President Bush's Texas ranch sparked anti-war protests around the country, said she wasn't roughed up by police, but was jostled when officers broke up the rally and arrested organizer Paul Zulkowitz.

"I think their use of force was pretty excessive for someone that didn't have a permit," Sheehan said.

1. Bush is damned afraid of CINDY SHEEHAN and her POWER

which is REAL POWER ... it comes from within her and it is not like his power which comes from the jackbooted thugs, Blackwater Mercenaries, and low life characters who are, on a signal from him, ready to break anyone's leg or moral character.

Bush's power comes from his seeding of fear in people.

Cindy Sheehan's power comes from the light of truth inside of her.

2. Don't think it was Bush in this case

and to avoid a flame war I won't mention who I think was feeling the heat from this demonstration.
