I want her to have her own thread!

I'm getting a t-shirt or two and a bumper sticker in support of this brave woman.

You're getting a Tshirt that says skank?

Nice

And we're getting you one that says:
#1 Chickenhawk

Holla!

Brave? The woman is wacked! She's lost it.

I'm wearing my Bush-photo shirt (or is it a banner?) with WARLORD on it today. Is it still legal? who needs to approve it?

Maybe you should have Alito sign off on that.
Freedom is on the march!

What's "whacked" or "wack" or however this word gets construed about a T-shirt that states the basic fact that over 2,000 US servicemen and women have been killed, one of whom was her son? How is that acknowledge of truth "whacked," or is it the neoconservatives and chickenhawks who're the whacked out ones because they can't deal with the real outcomes of Warrentless Wiretapper's failed military policy in Iraq?

Do these dead soldiers just disappear or are they to be consigned to the dustbin of history? Is Warrantless Wiretapper so insecure as Commmander in Chief that he cannot deal, however neutral the statement of the facts, with the results of his decisions? Does anyone think that Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan, Nixon, George HW Bush, even Clinton would have become unhinged by having the newsmedia and the parents of soldiers acknowledge the basic and undeniable fact that they'd died in the course of a war?

Maybe her husband can go over and get killed too..

Oh wait, he dumped the bitch when she went crazy.

Maybe you could go over and...

yeah, right

And Warrantless Wiretapper, a total psychopath with no sense of irony, actually uttered the following words last night:

Let's see--what freedom exactly is he fighting--he, Mr. AWOL himself--to keep?

Why wasn't Congressman Young's wife arrested? How was her shirt less of a political statement?

Because (a) Mrs. Young didn't attempt to unfurl a banner, and ( she isn't a nutjob. Ms. Sheehan needs some professional help--fast.

I think maybe they should do a makeover on her or something. So then she doesnt look like such a skanky ho. Fix her hair, paint the nails, maybe a lil makeup.

I dunno, maybe a shower..

face lift

Maybe she could cook dinner every once and a while if the next guy doesnt dump her ass before then...

Just sayin.

The statement about unfurling a banner seems to be an ABSOLUTE LIE, seeing as how there seem to be no sources for this story.

For example, it's not mentioned at all in this story...

How typical of the RepubliScum that they're trying to distort what happened while they take away our freedoms.

PF, it is not uncommon for someone who has lost a loved one, especially someone who loses a child or parent or spouse, to literally lose it. The grief can turn to rage and a host of other things, and the grieving one can just go nuts. It appears Ms. Sheehan is an example of this, sadly. frown

If she didnt drive her husband away maybe she could make another.....

Nevermind.

Hey PhillyFan, how many husbands have you driven away? Are you also a cover-girl model? No? Then shut your pie hole and quit picking on the woman's looks. She can't do anything about the way God made her.

\"It was wrong to remove the women\"

Calling Sheehan 'wacked' is missing the whole point: the woman lost her 24 year old son, in the prime of his life. Her grief is probably more than most of us on this board have ever known, so how can she be called wacked? Don't we as good Americans appreciate those people who stand up for what they believe? Even if we don't agree with them? Grief--when's the last time you dealt with it?

You really don't want to know the answer to that question.

As I said, grief over the death of someone so close to you, particularly the death of a child, can often lead to someone developing psychological problems. Ms. Sheehan is a textbook example of this. Heck, as PF earlier had mentioned, her husband left her because of this, having said she just lost it and was "nuts." I'll trust his opinion over anyone else's, including my own.

What did Cindy's banner say MIB?

Who knows? She never got the chance to unfurl it from what the news reports said.

As a matter of fact MIB, I might be interested in knowing about your grief seeing as how you use it to pass judgement on someone else, and rather insensitive judgement at that.

It is not insensitive to state facts, especially when the same was said by her own husband.

What news reports were those?

Strange that we've got numerous reports about what the shirt said and several pictures of her in the shirt, but nothing about this supposed banner. Odd, don't ya think?

Perhaps, but there were numerous reports of it. Perhaps some folks ought to remain awake more often.

Again, what reports were those?

News reports.

Could you be more specific, you know, what was your source?

Reuters and CNN, for starters:

It was also mentioned on several blogs, including the Democratic underground and a couple left-wing ones.

You were saying?

Great! Please provide your link, Id love to read the whole story.

(P.S. If something is mentioned on a blog, does that make it true in your mind?)

Actually, that full quote should read: CNN said Sheehan was arrested..... It seems that all of the news accounts MIB refers to quote CNN as their source. However, CNN's later, updated version says nothing about a banner, just a shirt. Sheehan and her shirt Interesting in that the original Reuters story quoted above by MIB does the opposite: mentions a banner, but nothing about a shirt. Perhaps CNN just f'ed up the first story and nobody else bothered to check facts.

If blogs reference news outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, or others, yes.

There. This matter is now closed. Back to Cindy on the Dr. Phil show.

MIB with a source? LOL ...thats a good one. Maybe he was watching Fox "News" which from some right-wing blog I just checked out, first reported that Sheehan unfurled a banner. Then the story was that she tried to unfurl a banner, then another report was that she had a banner on her. However, all the real news reports say she was arrested because of her shirt having a slogan on it which is against Chamber tradition. Its doubtful that she would have a banner considering the level of security that guests must go thru when the President is speaking. She would have been screened, checked, and frisked before ever entering the Capitol. Also notice that reports say she was arrested at 8:30pm....the speech didn't start until 9:00.

It was also very sad, disturbing, and telling that on the right-wing (New Republic) blog I mentioned above, most of the comments were about how she was a "bitch", "media whore", "skank", "napkin user", traitor, Nazi, Socialist, and of course "America hater". But I guess thats representative of the mentality of the far right.

I agree, but hey, I just reported the sources that reported the reports you reportedly had heard reported.

This broad had no business being at the SOUS speech at all. Who invited her?

This is called acting like little spoiled brats who don’t get their way. Let’s clap when he says something where we aint supposed to… let’s invite good ole Cindy to sit there with her cool little T-Shirt. Come on this is not elementary school.

It would be like inviting a certain someone to wear her stained dress during billy bobs time. Or inviting over a relative who died when the aspirin factory was bombed.

You don’t do those things when you don’t have a majority in any part of the gov’t. You sit quietly and act with class and dignity, rather than just turning off more middle of the road voters.

Assuming Cindy does get in the building, what is she doing wearing a Tshirt to an event like this? Could you be more of an idiot slob? Throw on a nice little pants suit babe. How about a cute little dress number. Maybe some nice slacks and blouse. IF the point was to just have her as your token in the crowd, fine. Just seeing that ugly unwashed face on the screen proves the point, not Kmart Tshirts you made in your garage.

Better yet, maybe she should have stopped off at the salon and got her hair washed and combed. A facial scrub so all that oil isn’t oozing off her. Possibly a boob job. You know the usual.

But PhillyFan - if your mother ever lost a child who went to war for his country, oh wait, never mind.

So Philly, was the Republican Congressman's wife who wore a t-shirt with a slogan and was removed also a spoiled brat and a skank? And by the way, back in 1999 a guest of Sen. Santorum did something similar to Clinton.

Well maybe she should have thought about this before the kid signed up to be in the military. Maybe got a second job and sent him to his local Community College to take some cooking classes or something.

You know it is the military, sometime they have to... go and fight.

Then again, maybe they were just turned on by their way cool commercials.

Yes, early news reports suggested she had a banner. (the report you posted was given at 9:30PM) But later reports corrected themselves when it was learned that she didn't have a banner. In any case the police have said that they made a mistake in arresting her and have apologized, but I guess that's more than we can expect from those who spread distortions on this board.

Like the numerous reports of your claiming to be a judge. You seem to dismiss these reports but swallow entirely the "reports" about the banner even though there's no evidence it ever existed.

KWG - He's an Internet Judge; all his cases are conducted online. It's the 21st Century version of People's Court.

Hasn't the media learned its lesson about checking sources before they report yet? I would think the WV mine debacle would have taught them something.

And what "numerous reports" were those, huh? Yup, gotcha again.

Yeah, that only happens to people who "stand up for what they believe in" that counts you out.

Yesterday after the gym I took my dogs for a walk.
At least a dozen + people saw me walking my dogs.
Since none of them can prove I was walking my dogs, it didnt happen, right?

kinda like..

If Sheenan's dead son saw her shower before he died.. but no one else saw... did she really take a shower?

Dude, what is your deal with Sheehan and showering? Kinda sick in my opinion, but what ever floats your boat, I guess.
