News Flash: Mother Sheehan Arrested!
No link yet…arrested outside White House…’progressives’ everywhere swoon in horror about brown-shirt tactics of Republican goons…developing!…
UPDATE 1:01 p.m. central: Here’s that link…the whole world is watching, say protestors…beans, says I…
UPDATE 2 1:07 p.m. central: Be strong, people! Courage! Mother Sheehan’s example will see you through! Let us bask in the words of the Great One:
Ahhhh, I love the smell of Patriotic Dissent in the afternoon!
As we stand here on the grounds of a monument that is dedicated to the Father of our Country, George Washington, we are reminded that he was well known for the apocryphal stories of never being able to tell a lie. I find it so ironic that there is another man here named George who stays in this town between vacations and he seems to never be able to tell the truth…
…to those people who question if we are making a difference: I tell them to go back to school and read their history books!! And another thing these questioners overlook is that WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!! And we are here to tell the media, Congress, and this criminal and criminally negligent administration: WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY!!!
We in the peace movement need to agree on one thing: yes we need an exit plan, but it is not a strategy, it is a command. The command should be: have all of our military personnel and paid killer mercenaries out of Iraq within 6 months and the generals carry out the command. Simple, it’s not brain surgery and I think it is so easy even George Bush can sign the order. We can’t give the homicidal maniacs any wiggle room or long term strategy sessions. For one thing, when our leaders strategize, we are put in even more jeopardy, they have proven that they are not too bright or even a little compassionate.
Be still, my ‘progressive’ heart!
UPDATE 3 1:42 p.m. central: As you can see from the photo at this link, the jackbooted thugs really worked her over…

She’ll be shipped off to the merciless goons at Gitmo now, right? I mean, that’s what the progressives have been telling me all along, what with all the dissent-crushing going on in the land.
Make it stop. I think my brain is oozing out of my ears after reading that.
By the way, was her late son “military personell” or was he a “paid mercenary killer”?
What Steve said.
“…have all of our military personnel and paid killer mercenaries…”
That blew me away.
Is it wrong that I chuckled at the picture of her being carried away?
I don’t see why it would be – she sure seemed to get a chuckle out of it…
speaking of jack booted thugs…….kind of reminds me of the elian gonzalez(sp) photo.
Personally, I think she enjoyed it a little TOO much.
louielouie-
Was that meant to be ironical (sic)?
Government agents pointing automatic weapons at a terrified and screaming kid vs. smiling, relaxed Sheehan being carried away for her 2:00 facial?
