Cindy Sheehan arrested........

You do not give a pass to a Lunatic like Cindy Sheehan at an event where

All 3 Branches of Gov't are in the same Hall
whoever gave her the pass should be held accountable


Being accountable for EXACTLY WHAT? Legally giving a ticket to someone who was then falsely arrested?

Just curious, Do you feel the same way about the Marine's family that attended the speech? I enjoyed hearing that Marines letter. I respect his families sacrifice. However, I fail to see how their inclusion in the speech was more than a political stunt. Call me an American hater if you will, but Sheehan believes she is honoring her son. I bet the family of that Marine feel same way.


Well said, dead on the 10X.

that hardly sounds like a violation of the law


It is called false arrest. She was violating no law, and was arrested for that. I suspect it was done for purely political reasons.

They acted authoratively without just cause...

That is a violations of the law..

As we will soon see on a much broader scale....

Lets see the only thing that didn't go well is when the Capitol Police falsely arrested her. An action they have now admitted was wrong and have apologized for.

Hugo Chavez is a democratically elected leader of a democratic government. Castro took power in a Coup and rules as a tryant. How are they the same other than their Hispanic background? Castro is a Stalinist Communist, Chavez is a Swedish style Socialist. Let me guess, they are all a bunch of dirty beaners to you right?

Catch a clue you say? Take your own advice.
I do so love the tyrant apologists.

Bullshit Chavez since he has taken power has established a unicameral legislature controlled by his party, rewritten the Constitution, cracked down on the freedom of the press, nationalized all major industry and has started a policy of land redistribution, he isn't a third way socialist he's an ardent Marxist who is following the Fidelisto model to a T. Tyrants can be elected too, Hitler was elected after all, it's what leaders do after they are elected which make them a tyrant.

You catch a clue.

Umm not really. Chavez's political philosophy is a lot closer to Cuba's than it is to Sweden's. Castro is his political idol. Venezuelan economic policy has very little at all in common with Swedish economic policy. Furthermore Chavez is an anti-freedom, pro-terrorist tinpot dictator.

What does "Swedish-style socialist" even mean? This stereotype doesn't even hold up, because Sweden's economy is a lot more liberal than that of its neighbors. But whatever it means, I'm pretty sure it looks nothing like Venezuela.

This is the State of the Union Address, show some fuc/king respect, if you don't have any respect for the man atleast show some respect for the office and tradition, the Democrats will have their response after the Address that's how it's done that's how it has always been done!!!!


This is amazing! So many people thinking this campaign speech is different from others. Respect for what? The idiot even requested the line item veto...and it's his own party in charge of congress spending money like a drunk sailor...!
 
Trajan Octavian Titus said:
See and this is what you're not getting the State of the Union Address is Constitutional law the President has to give that speech he has no choice, it has been given by every President since Washington it is not a tiny, minor event it is a large giant hallowed event and one of this countries first traditions.

Article 2

Section 3. He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.



And here comes the Democrat's response just how it's supposed to happen!

It's called tradition.

Before Lincoln the president informed the congress of the state of the union by sending a flunky to the House to read dry statistics. I'm not sure who thought that the Constitution meant he was supposed to make a campaign speech in January.
 
Stinger said:
The very fact that she gave this woman the pass shows a distinct lack of judge else wilful culpability. Either deserves censure. This is the event where the PRESIDENT of the United States (not George Bush the man) comes to the halls of Congress to address them and the nation. It is a solemn event, to use this as a stunt is disrepectful of the PRESIDENT and the nation, and the first part of that stunt was setting her up to be there in the first place.


You're probably missing the point. I expect, and this is opinion, that the Congress critter gave the Sheehan bitch the pass on the recommendation of the DNC, which is run by Screamin' Dean, because they know that even if the bitch did't heckle the stand-up comedian in the middle of his act she'd be sure to hunt up cameras after, that being the kind of whore she is, and her particular brand of lunacy would work to dispel any nonsense Bush may have had to say about Iraq. The media would find an entertaining, if psychotic, sound bite fromt the Bitch Sheehan far more valuable than a bit of garble from the wooden puppet.

People claiming that the Congresscritter gave the Bitch Sheehan a pass because it felt sorry for the crazy broad are naive little waifs that need to be found by their keeper. Those people did it because they wanted something to happen.

If you people haven't done so, please read Macchiaveli. The people you're supporting all have.
 
Sheehan arrest

This is the email I received from GSFP. Can you believe how our freedoms are being violated?


This is the email I got from GSFP. This is a freedom violation.

GSFP co-founder Cindy Sheehan was arrested last night at the state of the union address. She was invited to attend by Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey. . She was escorted into the chambers by a representative of Congresswoman Barbara Lees office. Cindy had no intention of disrupting the speech. Partly out of respect for Lynn Woolsey . It was released by someone from the capital that Cindy unfurled a banner and was disruptive.

The truth is Cindy was wearing a t-shirt the VFP had made to commemorate the grime milestone of the death of the 2000th soldier in Iraq. The shirt says 2245 dead how many more. Cindy had been wearing this shirt all day and wore it to the SOTU. I was told by a congressional staffer that as far as they were aware there was no dress code guidelines for the guests who sit in the gallery. Cindy was in the gallery.

She was seated at 8:30 pm. It was hot in the building so Cindy unzipped her sweater to remove it. Before she even had it off a capital police officer began shouting “protestor” and hustled her out of the chambers. They were very rough and rude with her. She was given a citation for demonstrating inside the capital building…..after being detained for 3 ½ hours.

This has got to stop. How many of your civil liberties are you willing to give up?

No one with a dissenting viewpoint is allowed anywhere near where King George speaks.

Ordinances have been put in place in the county around King Georges ranch that effectively hinder protestors from exorcizing their right to free speech and to petition our government officials.

You can’t wear a message t-shirt inside the capital which in effect is another infringement on our 1st amendment guarantee to freedom of speech .

King Georges henchmen are spying on American citizens under the guise of battling terrorism.

Show your support for Cindy and daily wear the number of Service members killed in Iraq on your shirts or blouses. Even you just jot it on masking tape and stick it to your top. We need to show the administration and those Americans with their heads in the sand this horrific number.

UNTIL WE RISE UP AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH THIS WILL ONLY GET WORSE

In Peace,

Not true. Washington did indeed give a State of the Union speech, but he was the first and last one to do so until Woodrow Wilson in 1913.....far from one of the nations "first traditions." The president isn't required to make a speech, just inform Congress.

Re: Sheehan arrest

Hold your Liberal horses there, partner -

The REAL TRUTH is that Sheehan BROKE THE LAW:

There is a law that states no one can protest in any way, shape, or form - either pro or con - on the property. Sheehan hid her shirt under her jacket and exposed it once she sat down. The T-Shirt had a political/activist message on it - thus it was a form of protest.

You can stop the 'woe-is-me-the-libs-were-singled-out' cr@p, too, as a GOP's wife was also removed for having a T-shirt with a protest message on it.

They BOTH broke the law and were properly escoted out. The fact thatthey were both pardoned/the charges dropped were actually, and arguably, better than they deserved because ignorance of the aw is no excuse for the law being broken!

And in case you want to start blaming Bush, the cops who did the arresting work for the Congress and Senate - not BUSH, who had nothing to do with it!

So, I am sorry, but your civil liberties do not include the right to break the law' therefore no civil liberties were 'trampled'. :roll:

Cindy Sheehan only wore the number of dead Americans in Iraq on her shirt because her chest wasn't big enough to show the number of stupid Democrat Surrender Monkeys.

You're allowed to curse and name call as long as it's not a personel attack on another forum member, these are attacks on Ms. Cindy Chavez.

Just because you're "allowed" to do something, that doesn't make it the right thing to do. But hey, if y'all want to look less intelligent than a six year old, you go right ahead.

I bet you feel silly now that the Park Police have admitted they violated the law themselves, not her, have dropped all charges and publically apologized to her.

She did not utter a single word inside the chamber by the way. She sat quietly.

As to banning slogans, that is a violation oft he first amendment. They can ban disruptive demonstrations, but sitting silently in a t-shirt is not disruptive.

This woman is a nut case.......How do you know what she had planned?

I am just glad she did not get a chance to disrupt the State of the Union.......
