MSNBC Poll on whether Cindy should have been removed - DU needed

[SmileMaker]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11120353
The T-shirt bore the words “2,245 Dead — How Many More??” in reference to the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq, protesters told NBC News.

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

“I’m proud that Cindy’s my guest tonight,” Woolsey said in an interview before the speech. “She has made a difference in the debate to bring our troops home from Iraq.”

Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an antiwar 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.

Can't believe so many people think it was right to remove her. I guess Amurcans aren't taking free speech for granted anymore. Bye bye, civil rights.

28. Kick for Cindy - thanks for my 1st greatest threat!

btw - I met Cindy. She's really tal and my thought was that she'd make an excellent President.

Imagine if she could have given the SOTU speech instead of the Bush .

How dare these monsters humiliate this poor woman!! Did anyone see Chris Matthews giggling with a colleague about her arrest. it was when he was talking with Feinstein about the wisdom of Cindy wearing a t-shirt to the SOTU if she expects to beat Feinstein in a Senate race. He should be ashamed!!

41. Yes she should have been removed!

We're a nation of Nazis now, so yes, she should be sent to the Russian front! MSNBC is still being coached by Jack Welch, there is no doubt in my mind.

Everything changed after 9/11, LEFT IS RIGHT now!
