My Take: Cindy was arrested because it would detract from

[Coexist]

Bush's biggest moment of the speech. He got a THUNDEROUS ovation when he acknowledged the parents of a fallen soldier in the audience. They obviously supported him. All cameras would have immediately panned to Cindy - another mother of a fallen solider - and her shirt would have reminded America how many have died.

1. T-Shirt Tenacity

Turns out Cindy was wearing a T-shirt that said "2040 - How many more?" Seems to have 'offended' some people.

Now I'm hearing there are many arrests these days, of people wearing T-shirts that say negative things about the shrub.

Hmmmmm....guess it's time I got one of these T-shirt!

3. They'll probably be coming after our bumper stickers next.

Unbefuckinglievable. :eyes:

5. Cindy knew what she was doing.

Brilliant move on her part. No one gives a rat's ass about the speech at this point. She's got the spotlight again and she eaned it with that play. Genius!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

7. I agree

Once again, Bush fucks up EVERYTHTING he touches.

6. I just don't buy that any cameras would've panned to Cindy

The M$M would not have done that to Junior. They would've been ordered not to, imo. However, I think the police created a media frenzy when they arrested Cindy for simply wearing a t-shirt listing the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq. The morning shows are "swarming" to get her for interviews, apparently. http://www.rawstory.com/ If they thought they were preventing Junior from missing one staged moment of applause in the speech, they miscalculated - badly. They've now given Cindy far more than a moment in front of the cameras in the days to come.

17. Yes, they would've. They alway pan to the opposition

they show Clinton and Kerry at opportune moments. Those great cameramen always took to catch the "reaction".

I truly believe this.

8. On Malloy he's talking about it now

and she was at a rally before hand where the tshirt was appropriate. She was invited by the Congresswoman from California and showed up.

10. Who was the congresswoman?

9. If I was Cindy ... To appear on the morning show - I would insist on

"What is 2000" flash.

11. brilliant assessment

[chookie]

13. BinGO!

They spuriously arrest dissenters from Chimperial events. They KNOW the cases will be kicked out of court, but they do it anyway just to keep the picture pretty for this "popular wartime president."

Gotta love it -- "Tough Guy" Bush can't deal with a Mom wearing a protest tshirt. What an effective leader! :sarcasm:

[Pastiche423]

14. And a tremendous fear of Cindy

[buddysmellgood]

15. Where do I get a shirt like that?

[dogday]

18. The SOTU speech was the perfect place to reflect

upon the number of soldiers who have died...

19. I think you hit the nail squarely on the head. eom
