4. This is fucking ridiculous

Let the poor woman go, already. This is how our government treats those parents who made the ultimate sacrifice?!

Nero looks like a fucking coward when confronted by Cindy.

[me b zola]

[Solly Mack]

7. Thank you!

t-shirts are WMD, doncha know

[napi21]

14. From the pics I've seen, if her shirt did have someting on it,

like the number of dead soldiers, it was printed very small. I would think the only people who would have seen it would have been those next to her, but no one else.

I really don't understand why they arrested her for something so insignifcant.

I can only hope that the backlash of this arrest will resonate across the Country!

Of course, I just checked the poll on MSNBC and the majority think she was wrong!

16. I saw that poll - unreal

In America, the truth won't set you free...it gets you arrested

[Ilsa]

21. Bushco looks like cowards and losers when they do this shit.

:patriot: I stand with Cindy also. :patriot:

[hopeisaplace]

8. I heard something on CNN early on about she may have been

trying to get a banner in or something...that's what I heard
(so freakin' ridiculous isn't it)

[upi402]

9. support the troops like *

until the cameras are off.

I stand with Cindy:patriot:

[fooj]

11. Please keep us posted.

We are with you, Cindy. :hug:

[Junkdrawer]

12. The charge is "whatever to keep her statement from the morning papers"...

It's a misdemeanor I hear...

[Pastiche423]

13. Nah

She was arrested because she skeerd the wanker.

[theHandpuppet]

15. Arrested for civil disobedience on the day of Coretta Scott King's passing

I think MLK and CSK would find that a fitting tribute.

[mmonk]

17. So

arrested on what grounds? Disagreement with the new leader and the new order? What crime was committed? Didn't she have a pass? What is the disobedience? You can't arrest someone for taking a seat there if she had a pass, can you?

[question everything]

20. unlawful conduct

Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to the speech and covered it up until she took her seat. Police warned her that such displays were not allowed, but she did not respond, the spokeswoman said.

Police handcuffed Sheehan and removed her from the gallery before Bush arrived. Sheehan was to be released on her own recognizance, Schneider said.

[Generic Other]

19. Cindy is like the banshee wailing for all the needless deaths

She is the conscience of the nation which must be escorted out in handcuffs before the tyrants can give their speeches.

[az chela]

23. We need to scream long and loud for our loss of freedom

I am sure that Bush heard that Cindy was there and ordered her removed.He will not be in the same room with her anymore than he would meet with her!!!!
Everyone needs to see the program on c-span that was on yesterday and today with Ann Wright,Ramsey Clark and Kevin Zeese and Cindy.It is terrifying what is going on in this world
