[Postman]

15. if they could only find Osama as quickly as they spot Peace Mothers....

George Bush can suck my dick.

[GemMom]

19. What does this mean ....

What does this mean for her chances to run against Feinstein? While I agree in principle with her wanting to get the anti-war point across, there is a certain level of "decorum" that is expected?!

[Postman]

22. It means she stands for her principles.

what do you want her to do, act like the rest of the democratic zombies...

[JuniperLea]

2. I find it hard to believe she would do anything to ruin her chance

to see the SOTU!

This MUST be some BROWN SHIRT deal!


Jebus help us all.

[Skink]

3. I hope Michael Moore brought his camera

[JanMichael]

4. Good for HER! Seriously she's making us ALL look useless.

The power or convictions drive her. I have no idea what drives most amerikans....Wait, Apathy, greed, crap TV, laziness, etfuckingcertra.

[jasmeel]

6. She really did show that this president doesnt put up with dissent.

[jimshoes]

5. What, she wouldn't sign a

loyalty oath? What bullshit.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

8. DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC.

[xiamiam]

7. bullshit...better be a good reason

[Erika]

9. Bush's new America - arrest the opposition

I only hope there was another reason.

[Catrina]

10. Have they arrested Ann Coulter yet? n/t

[Wheezy]

11. Invited, but has been arrested.

already in her seat!
unfolded an anti-war banner in the house chamber, and they took her out of the chamber for questioning, for an hour or so.

OH MY GOD!

[mcscajun]

14. If that's true, she shows very poor timing.

How she could have gotten it in is one thing...but Why couldn't she have waited until AFTER the speech started?

[SmokingJacket]

23. That's why I'm a tad suspicious of the story.

Why do it beforehand?

I wonder if they actually patted her down and found the banner, then decided to arrest her.

[Cleita]

13. Oh the cowardice of the Bush regime.!

Now you know their true colors, well as if we didn't from years ago.

16. Invited by Rep. Lynn Woolsey - CA

Cindy Sheehan Plans To Be In Audience At Bush Address

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Cindy Sheehan said she will be part of the live audience during the president's State of the Union speech to congress Tuesday.

Bay Area Congresswoman Lynn Woosley gave anti-war activist a gallery pass late Tuesday, just hours before the planned State of the Union speech. Sheehan was in Washington to protest the president during his national address, but then came word she was invited to see the speech live.

A spokesman for Sheehan says she decided to accept the invitation two hours prior to the speech. The spokesman also said that Sheehan will be respectful and listen to the address because she is a guest of a member of congress.

Sheehan is expected to fly back to Berkeley Wednesday. She announced over the weekend that she is considering running for Senate against Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

[phrenzy]

17. WTF?!?!

Sorry guys, but that's just DUMB - why didn't she unfurl the banner DURING the speech? Of course they are going to kick her out! They will consider it a potential 'disruption' - The SOTU is not a free speech zone AFAIK. Grrr. I just wish she would have waited.

[BuyingThyme]

20. Free speech zones are for Nazis.

[mcscajun]

18. Air America's quoting the initial report, but I see CNN has taken Down

the "Breaking News" banner on this.

[SmokingJacket]

24. That was quick, even for them. nt

[GemMom]

21. CNN CNN indicated that Democrat Congressional leaders....

Report on CNN that Democratic Congressional leaders were unhappy that a Democratic Congress member invited her.

[Skip Intro]

25. WHAT??? Soemone INVITED to the show ARRESTED?

Because she disagrees!

This is boggling my mind. This is too fucking much

[question everything]

26. She needs help, really!

The woman desperately seeks attention. It was fine last summer when her spontaneous decision to camp in Crawford was admired. But really was a cry for help. I am not a social worker or a psychologist or something like that but she is going around looking to grab headlines. Running against Feinstein, being arrested and what not.

Really. I don't think that we are helping her by admiring her recent activities. She has suffered some kind of a trauma - loss of her son, he marriage - and is searching for something to fill her life, searching for love and adoration.

Please, if you love her, help her seek professional help. It does not even matter where she was or why she was arrested. She is just seeking the headlines.

[Bobbieo]

27. CindyNeeds Help

I think I agree!!! She's gone over the line

[Postman]

28. She was a guest of one of the Congresswomen....

I wonder how you would hold a President responsible for the death of your son in an unjust war based on lies...

So sorry for you that her misery is offending your viewing pleasure..
