AP: Cindy Sheehan removed for "causing a disruption"!!
Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier whose summertime vigil near Bush's Texas ranch reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was arrested and escorted from the visitors section of the House gallery after causing a disruption just before the president spoke. :eyes:

3. Reminds me of an Abbie Hoffman quote
I regret that I have one shirt to give to my country

after being beaten for wearing the infamous flag shirt

The more things change...............

8. I'm reading other posts where protesting=wearing t-shirt
People saying "she knew she'd be busted for wearing that t-shirt"... "she was obviously protesting by wearing that t-shirt"...

All I can say is "wow"...

Have we descended that far into a police state that "of course you deserve to be arrested" for wearing a t-shirt inside the House?! I hear the subtle implication: "How 'disrespectful' to wear a tshirt that questions our govt, especially in the House!" Ah, the irony would be delicious if I didn't feel like I was about to vomit...

People, protesting is NOT wearing a t-shirt!

Are people that wear lapel pins with mini-US flags 'pro' US protestors??!!

Are the people that wear campaign buttons "Support the Troops" pro/anti/war protestors?!!

How about people that wear Che shirts? They must be obvious subversives...

Let's get this straight. This is all part of our new RE-EDUCATION... another psyops lesson to teach us: "See? She was arrested because she is a DISRUPTOR. She wore a DANGEROUS t-shirt. Make sure what you wear! Make sure what you say! NSA may be listening!"

JMJ, what the hell has happened to our country?!

10. Holy crap...

So much for freedom of speech... You've obviously heard about what happened to the lady posting signs for the World Can't Wait protests yesterday, right?
