Nice try avoiding the point that both people were treated differently. Did Cindy all of a sudden lose certain liberties because she's a known anti-war activist? It seems as though that's how you feel.
And did you not learn anything from mine?

Sorry, but I don't believe Cindy's account of what happened. She's a loony liar and will say anything to get sympathy.
And Bush said Saddam was behind 9/11.
By losing liberties, do you mean she all of the sudden lost the right to break the law in the Capital building?
And as for being treated differently, a known trouble maker will get treated more harshly 99% of the time than a first time offender. That's pretty much true in any situation.
You mean the Capital building in which Bush, who said himself he needs a court order for wiretaps, but then broke that law, gave his speech? That building?
And if supposedly both women broke the law by both wearing their shirts, why was one rushed out and arrested without asking her to leave and the other allowed to leave on her own?
Easy to label her a trouble maker. Her activism is because of the trouble this administration has caused.
So that justifies it. I see. Now is this a law?
"Hey, it's Cindy Sheehan, she's wearing an anti-war shirt and she's done this before, let's immediately arrest her for it."
"Hey, it's a Republican also wearing a shirt that breaks the law, let's let her know she has to leave on her own, because we had or have to arrest Sheehan and you know how that would look"
In the end, they supposedly both broke the same law. One arrested and bruised, one left unharmed.
Isn't there something wrong here?
Maybe, maybe not. But it certainly didn't originate in that situation. I also don't fully believe the weepy story about her never getting a chance to leave peacefully, either. Maybe that's just why I'm not filled with such righteous indignation.
She's pulled too many stunts already and suffered the consequences to know that they'll be watching her especially hard. So she pulled another one and suffered the consequences again. Rinse. Repeat.
Okay, you've got SA210 posting two to your one. Keep it up and it'll be 3 to 1.
I'm enjoying just seeing your side of the conversation though. In fact, I'm enjoying just seeing you post...I miss ya!
Well, that makes it easy again to say you don't believe her.
More than half the country also doesn't believe most of Bush' lies and stories. He's pulled too many stunts without consequence and thousands are dead. Rinse. Repeat.
I'm gonna send that man a cookie bouquet.By the way, his name is Mike Weight.
Damn, you're either using someone else's sentences, someone else's talking points, or posting someone else's photoshops. I'm noticing a trend.
I notice a trend. That what you just posted didn't change the facts. It usually happens that way.
Does anyone else see that as a contradiction?
Cindy wore the shirt with the intention of drawing attention to herself. In a setting where people have gathered to here one person speak, that is disruptive.

Sheehan arrested in House gallery
Tuesday, January 31, 2006; Posted: 10:26 p.m. EST (03:26 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Peace activist Cindy Sheehan was arrested Tuesday in the House gallery after refusing to cover up a T-shirt bearing an anti-war slogan before President Bush's State of the Union address.
"She was asked to cover it up. She did not," said Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman, adding that Sheehan was arrested for unlawful conduct, a misdemeanor.
Okay, someone is outright lying.
One was bruised and arrested, one was allowed to leave peacefully on her own.
And just out of curiousity because I really don't know, but is it customary/ acceptable to wear a t-shirt when attending the President's State of the Nation address? Surely the congresswoman Cindy attended with was dressed more formally.
Well, the wife of the Republican wore a shirt as well, but it seems weird how she was given a choice to walk out on her own with no bruises or being arrested.
he did ? link ? link ? never heard of that ......must be out of the loop. I know he talked about WMD - but then so did clinton, chirac, putin, kerry. hillary and a looooooooooooong list of world leaders everywhereAnd Bush said Saddam was behind 9/11.
I don't see why we should just take Cindy Sheehan's word about what happened any more than you should just take the officer's word for it.
Common, do any of you seriously think the Capital Police didn't know that Sheehan was gonna be there? They were looking for a reason to get her out of there and when they saw one they took it. I think the people who say that Sheehan would have better advanced her cause had she managed to stay in the chamber are right, to a point, and I say that because the major News media has thus far done everything they can to avoid Sheehan. Where is Barbara Walters? 60 minutes? Larry King?
Sheehan's statements are always taken out of context by the right-wing echo chamber. They, with their soundbite politics, could have made Shakespere himself sound like Fidel Castro. That's what I see going on, everyone has fallen for the, oh that's just 'wacky Cindy' going on again. However, Cindy just keeps trumping them at every turn. Everytime they stick a mic in her grill she manages to say the right things. Now if America was only listening.
Ever heard of "rank has its privileges"? The replican was the wife of a congressman; Cindy Sheehan is a known protester and troublemaker.
BTW - I haven't seen anything about the woman who invited Cindy. The representative from California is a member of an extreme left-wing group - you don't think she might have had an agenda?
