i'm not even going to read the thread.. but i say this for pulling this .. her on died serving voluntarily... end of story...
Strom Thurmond started out as a Democrat. Just like Joe McCarthy.
And no, all things are not equal...you go look at history and the racism exists overwhelmingly on the side of the Democratic Party...from the beginning of our country...to the Klansman that sits in congress to this day.
This is not to be confused with the Klansman that FDR appointed to the Supreme Court.
And David Duke started out as a Democrat too...

All this could come to a head Thursday...
Cindy Sheehan to Be Arrested Thursday

Daily KosCindy Sheehan phoned me from Texas a few minutes ago to say that she's been informed that beginning Thursday, she and her companions will be considered a threat to national security and will be arrested. Coincidentally, Thursday is the day that Rice and Rumsfeld visit the ranch, and Friday is a fundraiser event for the haves and the have mores. Cindy said that she and others plan to be arrested.
If Sheehan is arrested as a threat to National Security, then our leaders should be fired for a lack of competence.
It's going to be stupid if they arrest her, I'd rather they didn't...Hopefully they'll be smart enough not to do it. They need to leave though and stop with the grandstanding.
if she gets 1 inch outside that "protest zone"
lock her ass up for treason!!
Clear Channel stations are hosting a Pro-Bush/anti-Cindy Sheehan rally in Crawford and are inviting troops from Ft. Hood to come speak out against Cindy.
Is this outrageous or what?Update <2005-8-10 14:38:27 by patrioticliberal>: As someone posted below in a comment (JUST CONFIRMED), KLFX ("KLFX 107.3 The Fox Rocks") and their group stations, as well as KWTX 1230 AM (Waco) - 1-254-776-3900 (FOX NEWS RADIO), 102.5 FM,, and one more that is forgotten at this time, will be at the PRO-BUSH/ANTI-SHEEHAN rally. They are owned by Clear Channel. The Anti-Sheehan BBQ will be in the lot next to Crawford Bank, free burgers, soft drinks ("Coca-Cola"), and everything Saturday at NOON. a host named "JACK HAMMER" will be there and apparently is helping with this event. They are inviting soldiers from the Fort Hood area to come down and say that they would be ashamed of their mother if she did what Mrs. Sheehan is doing. Protest to KLFX! Their number is 1-254-699-5000, and YES, I'm keeping that number here. It's also publicly accessible
Well, the good news from Camp Crawford is that police officials are now denying that they plan to arrest Cindy anytime soon. Also, the Clear Channel stations that were holding their 'support our troops' rally in Crawford has canceled the concert for now. Here is a statement by one of the station managers:

In no way are making a PR event out of Cindy Sheehan's loss. This is a pro troops rally and we have had Cindy Sheehan on KWTX-AM last Monday to voice her cause. Thanks for your response. We welcome everyones opinion on this matter.

Please tune into KWTX-AM, KLFX-FM on Monday for comprehensive news coverage and commentary on developments related to the Iraq war protest organized by Mrs. Cindy Sheehan, scheduled to be held in Crawford this Saturday.
why is free speech outrageous... probably because it's not left leaning... oh well!!
US troops are not allowed to have a partisan role in politics. IE they can't go around demonstrating.
Plus...conservatives have never been the protest movement...that movement is entirely liberal. A protest doesn't make someone the majority...it just makes them the loudest voice...which is probably why they think Bush isn't going to be re-elected when they see a lot of protests...and then are surprised when they get their ass handed to them in the Elections.
The baby that cries the most gets the most attention...that doesn't mean it's the only baby.
People were protesting Blair and Howard as well...leading most to conclude that those countries were blatantly anti-American...
Yet when the referendum on the war was held...they all got re-elected...
And my guess is that Schroder and Chiraq, the anti-Americans won't...I am not sure about Chirac...they are genuinely anti-American France and always have been...Chiraq's anti-Americanism actually could get him re-elected.
But it's going to be funny if, by the time the interntional referendum is over...all the pro-American leaders got re-elected...and all the anti-American ones are kicked out on their ass.
I think America is like the Dallas Cowboys...both the most hated and the most popular..but more popular than hated...I think it's the same way with these anti-war protest...I think their extreme stance isn't a majority stance..that's why they have to use sensationalistic stunts to get noticed.

Who ing cares is my response to this entire thread.
WTF!?!? I guess all those right to life protesters at abortion clinics aren't really there? Please.
Because no one has ever protested at gay pride parades or abortion clinics.
touche...but I still see a lot more liberals protesting and causes than vice versa...and it was the liberals that first made it mainstream.
And those anti-abortion activists and anti-gay activists are just as stupid....and probably in the minority in this country.
Yeah, conservatives never did protest blacks going to school or trying to vote.
No, they never were the protesting type.
Those were Democrats doing that protesting buddy. Check your history.
I thought those were the true "conservatives" of the republican party.
Right...just like it was the Republicans that rounded up all the Japanese Amaricans during WWII and put them in interment camps.
Comparing party deeds to the deeds of the parties of the same name from decades past is foolish. Neither party is nowhere near what they were. Now we just have a useless pile of that likes with multiple personality disorder.
I concur.
Do me a favor..
Ernest Hollings
Orval Faubus
George Wallace
Lester Maddox
Al Gore Sr
Robert Byrd
Those were the leading segregationists...go look at which political party they belonged too.
Then go look and see who the first person was to de-segregate a segregated school. See what his politcal party was.
Um...the Senior Democrat in Congress is an ex Klansman who fillibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights amendment...
He's still in congress...he opposed Condoleza Rice as the NSA...he opposed Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court...
And it's not the same...the Democrats pull the race card every chance they get, with their Klansman Pro Tempore..the Republicans don't.
Well thats ing dandy. If you're trying to use that as an arguement that Republicans are pro minoirty, I'm going to laugh because thats one of a good joke.
I don't care what they did 40 years ago, I care what they do now. And well, both of the parties exploit minorities and then forget about them.
They aren't pro-minority you are right...but they aren't anti-minority either, they are generally against any kind of favoritism or discrimination based on race....that's not being racist...it's just not being racist.
whottt, I think you're doing yourself a disservice by equating liberal with Democrat and conservative with Republican - especially within historical context.
