CINDY SHEEHAN WAS ARRESTED - CNN BREAKING

[Coexist]

She was going to SOTU - no reason for arrest yet. Arrested by DC police.

Paula Zahn incredulous!!

[helderheid]

1. FUCK. So she won't be there??? What happened?

[NVMojo]

2. arrested for being a thorn in Bush's side????

[Coexist]

4. no details yet - Wolf was surprised too.

Paula Zahn said, "I know they were afraid she would disrupt, but there HAS to be a valid reason". Nothing in yet.

[jasmeel]

41. Does there "have" to be? What a fantasy world that Zahn lives

in.

[The Backlash Cometh]

57. Yo, Paula Zahn, I just have this to say to you:"Get out of Cheney's house"

[insanity]

3. just about to post that myself

Fucking dispicable administration

[DemonGoddess]

11. I doubt it'll be anything real she was arrested for...

was a preemptive arrest to SHUT HER UP. :grr:

[upi402]

5. wtf? no way!

[Connie_Corleone]

6. They probably found out she was going to be inside...

and decided to arrest her until it was over.

[mirandapriestly]

61. Exactly! nt

[Ioo]

7. SHe was an invited guest of a member...

What the hell, this is Nazi Germany, come on people, call a spade a spade

[LSK]

15. i heard Lynn Woolsey invited her

[Cleita]

Yes, and a swastika, a swastika.

You cannot arrest someone for what they might do. This is dispicable. When the complete details come out, it's time to really let the White House know what we think.

[Coexist]

8. What the heck is going on??

[FreedomAngel82]

9. No word on what happened?

[Wordie]

21. She was arrested by the Capitol Police. eom

[LSK]

10. she didnt have her Gestapo pass?

:sarcasm:

[Dinger]

20. CNN.CON Says She Was Invited

What's next? I'm fucking afrtaid to ask.

[senseandsensibility]

12. Details! Anyone know what happened?

This is insane.

[MaineDem]

Wow

Did she act up in the Gallery or are they trying to stop her from being there?

This could be very bad.

[stop the bleeding]

13. Details please if available n/t

[Coexist]

16. none yet - holy cow.

[AX10]

14. The Republican GESTAPO is out in full force tonight.

[upi402]

17. i can't look at CNN -help!

[Coexist]

27. I'll post news as I get it - I promise.

[Synnical]

18. Nothing on RSNBC

Chris Matthews and Keith are chatting

[Synnical]

24. Keith just mentioned

[The_Casual_Observer]

19. They weren't going to let her in.

[Cleita]

23. I'm watching CBS news against my better judgement and

there is nothing about it there either.

[Coexist]

25. its on the CNN scroller n/t

[Cleita]

36. I refuse to watch CNN even if there is something important.

Thanks for reporting. I think it's awful that the other channels don't report this.

[FreedomAngel82]

33. But wasn't she invited?

[Cobalt Violet]

22. Reasons? Reasons are so pre 9/11 thinking.

We have to get away from the idea of needing reasons.
:sarcasm:

[lildreamer316]

29. "Reasons? Where we're going we don't NEED reasons!"

Apologies to a wonderful movie.

[Beaverhausen]

26. If I may say, this is better than anything she could have done or said

Having her get arrested for no other reason than for being who she is (which I'm sure is the ONLY reason) is a great symbol for the fascist nation we have become.

[Richard D]

39. Yes.

I had a feeling this was going to happen.

[debbierlus]

28. WHAT COWARDS - WHAT WIMPS - WHAT YELLOW BELLIED WEASELS

A mother of a dead soldier. A man they killed through their lies.

They are such wimps. Can't have that grieving mom speaking the truth during our propanda speech!

I hate them. I truly do.

[Coexist]

32. maybe people will understand what thugs they are now.

What cowards these bullies are at heart.

[Coexist]

38. CNN - they are discussing it again **** UPDATE******

Capitol Hill police - she was already IN HER SEAT - AND SHE UNFOLDED A WAR BANNER. It is against House rules. Being held for questioning for an hour or so.

[Horse with no Name]

56. They will hold her until his speech is over

Then they will just let her go.
Fucking traitorous cowards.

[Coexist]

58. Exactly - they said an hour or so - just long enough for the speech

obvious.

[NoodleyAppendage]

62. If she brought a banner...I WANT PROOF.

CRIMINALS. Fuckin' criminals.

I'm so fucking ashamed of my country.

JB

[debbierlus]

72. QUESTIONING? What prey tell are they going to ask her?

Stupid move on their part, it will just enrage people.

[xiamiam]

37. right...this is what we do to the military familes of our fallen soldiers

[jasmeel]

50. Someone needs to show the repubs for what babies they

really are. I guess I'm referring to the media and I guess I can dream on.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

30. K&$#4, WTF!!!!!

These bastards need to go down. Too much, too far.

[bpilgrim]

31. can't have her speaking her mind

even the DLC agree... SHUT HER UP!

let the CHIMP speak :evilgrin:

peace

[GOPisEvil]

34. Good...show them for the fascists that they are.

When an invited guest of a member of Congress is denied entry to THE PEOPLE'S Congress building, it's a sad, sad day. But, let the world see how fascist these Republicans are.

[ryan_cats]

49. Exactly!

Exactly, is little scrub-ya scared of Sheehan? I hope Helen Thomas is in the gallery too!

[ryan_cats]

35. WTF????

Are they kidding me?? I know they don't like her message but isn't this a little obvious for even the thugs?

[dogday]

40. For unfolding a banner

or so they say. Would she be stupid enough to do this? I don't believe it....

[MaineDem]

I heard that too

I really wish she hadn't done that.

[janx]

64. In almost any other situation, I'd agree with you.

I can't--not this time.

She is a brave woman.

[Todd B]

51. She's being detained "for an hour or so"...

..what a coincidence. :eyes:

[NoodleyAppendage]

55. They're going to hold her for "a hour or so"... how convenient ...

It's time for Democrats to call out Shrub for what he is... A FUCKING DICTATOR.

JB

[doublethink]

42. FUCK! FASCIST PIGS. nt.

[LSK]

43. im hearing she unfolded a banner - she was already inside

[dogday]

47. I am not believing she would jeopardize her seat

in that chamber this evening, I know she would of wanted to stare him down. I would if it were my son, and it could be me one day. I just don't believe it....

[Coexist]

53. they said Cindy stated, "I am staying until I am arrested"

or something like that.

[tlsmith1963]

67. Good For Her

Even though she was arrested, she got inside with a banner. That took guts. Maybe if more & more of us did things like that, it would be a fair fight. That's what pisses me off about this whole situation--we have never had a fair fight against the neocons. They just stab us in the back over & over, & so do those DLC people. It's too one-sided. I want a fair fight!

Tammy

[upi402]

44. got Nazi's?

[DIKB]

45. They're probably going to use the

"Disruptor" claim in the PATRIOT Act.

If she hasn't done anything, I hope the ACLU and others really jump on them for this.

[NoodleyAppendage]

46. MUTHERF'N FASCISTS!!!!!!!!

BUSH IS A DICTATOR...PERIOD.

JB

[Horse with no Name]

48. Pre-emptive arrests

You haven't heard of them? They are kind of like pre-emptive wars.
This is like "Minority Report" with Tom Cruise.
You can be arrested for thought crimes now.

[jasmeel]

54. I'm glad they can't read my mind!!!!

[upi402]

52. is she in a FREE SPEECH CAGE?

[BuyingThyme]

59. Chalabi in; Sheehan out.

[Lars39]

60. Say it loud...they arrested a Gold Star Mother.

[Coexist]

65. I can't believe it - unreal.

Let's see what Ed Schultz does. He is there.

[stop the bleeding]

63. still nothing on the details n/t

[Perky]

66. She unfurled a banner

Against House rules

SHe wanted to be arrested
She did it before Bush began.

[Coexist]

69. pre-meditation takes some of the punch out of it

ugh - justices.

[xiamiam]

71. i knew she would do something....i love this woman...nt

[tlsmith1963]

73. That's What You Have to Do

Since the media seem to have turned against us, how else are we going to be heard? I hope more people do things like this. We need to be heard!

Tammy

[NoodleyAppendage]

74. Did you see a banner? I WANT FUCKIN' PROOF.

This is way too convenient.

Why should we believe ANYTHING told to us about her "supposed" actions?

Is "breaking house rules" a criminal offense????? If not, then why are they detaining her ILLEGALLY.

WAKE UP PEOPLE! We're living in a fascist country.

JB

[John Q. Citizen]

82. It was a tee shirt with the # of war dead on it. Per KPFA. M$M lies.

[Generic Other]

68. Arrested with a number of other protesters

according to CBS.

[upi402]

70. oh come on, maybe if we just be nicer to the Republicans

and cooperate with their agnda in a more moderate way...

Everything will be fine.

sit on the couch.

eat junk.

watch tv.

nothing you need to do, other people will do what is appropriate.

[johnfunk]

75. Bush Regime: Contempt for the soldiers, contempt for Gold Star Mothers

George W. Bush, Gold Star Motherf$#@er

[Perky]

76. I am glad she did it when she did.

If she had done it during the speech it would have been ugly and spun in many quarters as inappropriate.

Nice that she had the class to do so before the president began the SOTU.

[John Q. Citizen]

83. She wore a tee shirt. We live in a fascist state Perky.

[tgnyc]

77. Dammit! Somebody get her a media coach! You wait until AFTER

the thing starts to make your protest. I'm happy she had the chance to protest, but what an awsome waste of an opportunity.

[jasmeel]

78. The story is already scrubbed from CNNs website. WTF!

I like her civil disobedience but it will get less attention since she didn't get busted during the speech. I'm sure it would've been spun as disrespectful and media whoring though.

[strangemedicine]

79. For wearing a teeshirt that had the number of dead

soldiers killed in the war. From Pacifica radio, on now.

[JerseygirlCT]

80. Ok, that's WAY different from unfurling a banner

WAY different.

So now they're the clothes police?

[helderheid]

84. no banner? A FUCKING T-SHIRT???

[Helga Scow Stern]

81. I just heard 20 minutes ago on Pacifica radio that she had decided not

to attend the speech. Couldn't stand to listen to * and be in the same room.
