Sheehan, Iraq War Protesters Break Up House Democrats' Press Conference

[Stinger]

Cindy made her mark way back when. It's time for her to stay home and STFU!

Now that she is protesting Dems I see.

I've never heard the term....but it says to me that at least for now...in this Country you have the right to speak freely....whether you agree or disagree with the message.
I am happy to know that there are people who feel passionate about anything in this country anymore.

Here's the thing...you have the right to free speech up until the point where you are unfairly interfering with someone else's free speech.

Let's say you wanted to hold a rally in the park. You're trying to speak to the crowd, but the police roll up and blast music so loud that you can't be heard. Your right to free speech has been abridged, and that is unconstitutional.

What Sheehan is doing is one and the same.

I just wish that nutcase and leader of the left would take the time to put a headstone on her sons grave...........

Welcome to DO my friend, looking forward to your posts......We can always use another good person in our fight against Liberalism......:applaud

Yeah. Moving away from liberarism and towards the regime Saddam had. I love people like you Navy Pride. You have "defended" freedom for most of your adult life and yet you agree that any opinion that isnt a reflexion of your own should be destroyed in the way Mr. Roberdorous said. Good deal.:roll:

I really don't think any opinion should be "destroyed" unless it's a dangerous one. Cindy Sheehan's opinion isn't dangerous, it's just extremely redundant and annoying. We get it. She, like most people in America, is against the war in Iraq.
But, just because her opinion shouldn't be "destroyed", doesn't mean her opinion should be valued at all. I mean, let's be honest... She's bat-shite insane. Anyone who's read her "blog" knows that.
Yeah, I know-- her estranged son (who she hadn't seen in like twelve years) was killed in a war. It's a terrible loss, but it's reprehensible and shameful to use tragedy to promote one's political agenda. Especially when it's a creepy, fascist one like Cindy's.

Saying that Cindy Sheehan should be shot in the head. No questions asked. Is a very extreme and dangerous opinion. Should you be killed because of it? :roll:

Cindy Sheehan's opinion isn't dangerous,

Agreed.

it's just extremely redundant and annoying.

Like that of many conservatives here on DP. Welcome btw.

We get it.

I do.

She, like most people in America, is against the war in Iraq.

K. So she should be shot because of that? :roll: Kinda extreme opinion isnt it?

But, just because her opinion shouldn't be "destroyed", doesn't mean her opinion should be valued at all.

Isn't she an American? Of course it should be valued.

I mean, let's be honest... She's bat-shite insane.

See what we have going on here is your opinion. Should it be valued at all? Yes. You are my fellow American and I would defend your right to voice any concerns you have with our goverments as long as you do it in a way where you are not braking the law

Anyone who's read her "blog" knows that.

Anybody who's ever heard to Bush talk about his connection to God might assume the same thing.

Yeah, I know-- her estranged son (who she hadn't seen in like twelve years) was killed in a war.

Untrue. This is an urban myth.

It's a terrible loss, but it's reprehensible and shameful to use tragedy to promote one's political agenda.

What does she gain by taking it upon herself to end the Iraq war?

Especially when it's a creepy, fascist one like Cindy's.

Do you know what facism means?

Welcome to DP. See you on the battlefield.

Well, it was a joke, and apparently a poorly received one. It's not really my opinion that she should be executed. I don't think you really believe that this is genuinely how I feel. If you did, then you probably wouldn't have taken the time to respond to a guy who's so clearly out of his mind.

Like that of many conservatives here on DP. Welcome btw.

I don't doubt it. But how is that relevant? Thanks for the welcome, by the way.

Isn't she an American? Of course it should be valued.

It's my opinion that the moon is made out of blue cheese. Should that opinion be valued for the simple reason that I'm an American?

See what we have going on here is your opinion. Should it be valued at all? Yes. You are my fellow American and I would defend your right to voice any concerns you have with our goverments as long as you do it in a way where you are not braking the law

Misdemeanor trespassing is against the law. So is interfering with a government function.
My main problem is with the "opinion" part. Hiding behind the "Cindy Sheehan has the right to her opinion!" strawman is like saying that Cindy Sheehan is of the species Homo sapiens: True, but utterly beside the point. It's not interesting, not insightful, and not helpful. She has the right to her opinion, yes, but that doesn't mean her opinion won't be wrong. And if her opinion is wrong, then it's of absolutely no value.

Anybody who's ever heard to Bush talk about his connection to God might assume the same thing.

So... you think Bush is a nut-case? Fine. Does that mean Cindy Sheehan isn't a nut-case?

Untrue. This is an urban myth.

Well, then, I stand corrected. It seems I've done a fine job of stressing my utter disinterest in Cindy Sheehan's personal life.

What does she gain by taking it upon herself to end the Iraq war?

Fifteen minutes of fame.

Do you know what facism means?

Yeaaaah.

Well see I dont know. You did make a comment about killing somebody. That should always be taken seriously shouldnt it?

I don't doubt it. But how is that relevant? Thanks for the welcome, by the way.

How long you've been here? lol

It's my opinion that the moon is made out of blue cheese. Should that opinion be valued for the simple reason that I'm an American?

Well I could also take the opinions of a sherpa but I've never met one and very few have ever been to America. So hey your call.

Person A : It is my opinion that the Iraq war is screwed on 10 different levels.

Person A(2) : It is a fact that the Iraq war is screwed on 10 different levels.

If your opinion is that the moon is made of cheese. Hey good of ya mate. If you state that your opinion is also a fact. We might have to debate a little.

Misdemeanor trespassing is against the law. So is interfering with a government function.

Well for it's obvious somebody let them in. So trespassing is out of the question. However you're right about the second one but hey whats the fine for that? 300$ and a day in jail? If so let her be punished.

My main problem is with the "opinion" part.

And if her opinion is wrong, then it's of absolutely no value.

You can't prove an opinion to be wrong. You can only make arguments to back up your own opinion and hope the other person changes his point of view.

So... you think Bush is a nut-case? Fine. Does that mean Cindy Sheehan isn't a nut-case?

I didnt say Bush was a nutcase. I simply wished for you to know that people are quick to label others as nutcases simply because they didnt catch the story in it's full context.

Bin Laden spoke to "God". So did Bush. They were both told to do stuff. They've both complied. Is Mr. "God" a nutcase? Probably not but see I dont know that so I'm quick to label "God" as a nutcase simply because he's telling sides that are completely opposed to eachother to do **** that has an effect on every human being on this earth.

Well, then, I stand corrected. It seems I've done a fine job of stressing my utter disinterest in Cindy Sheehan's personal life.

Yeah apparently she's never even been divorced. Another urban myth.

Fifteen minutes of fame.

Hardly an agenda. You'll agree they've been up for like 2 years now.

Yeaaaah.

Reassuring.
