Someone mentioned Cindy Sheehan in another thread.
What's up with that Lib biatch? Is she protesting the War? Is she camped out in front of Obama's vacation locations (a la Crawford Ranch protests)? I guess her outrage isnt' directed at Democrats. Maybe I am wrong. |

In 2008 Sheehan focused on her campaign. She ran on a platform of single-payer health care, media reform, overturning all free trade agreements, repealing the Patriot Act, renewable energy, nationalizing oil and electricity, ending the War on Drugs, legalizing cannabis, ensuring all talks in the Middle East are fair to all parties, ending torture, closing Guantanamo Bay detention camp, overseas commitment to cleaning up Superfund sites, ending deregulation, ending No Child Left Behind, and legalizing same-sex marriage.[81] Sheehan lost the 2008 election to U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. In a seven-way race, Sheehan came in second with 46,118 votes (16.14%).[82]
[edit] 2009 On June 8, 2009; Sheehan led a protest near former President Bush's home in the wealthy north Dallas neighborhood of Preston Hollow.[83] In August, 2009, Sheehan protested at Martha's Vineyard during President Barack Obama's stay there. According to ABC News: "Sheehan invoked Sen. Ted Kennedy's passing as part of her message, noting that he was firmly anti-war and how he said his proudest vote as a senator was his 2002 vote against the Iraq war."[84] On October 5 Sheehan was arrested with sixty others at the White House protesting President Obama's continuation of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She told CNN: "I think the mood of the country and the mood of our movement is getting a little bit more desperate, and (that) this will be the time to be able to translate our tireless activism and work for peace."[85] On December 10 Sheehan protested on the streets of Oslo, Norway, as President Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize.[86] [edit] 2010 On March 20, Sheehan was again arrested in front of the White House. Officers of the United States Park Police arrested her and seven others after they defied orders to clear the sidewalk on Pennsylvania Avenue.[87] On July 12, Sheehan and five other activists, including Matthis Chiroux, a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, were on trial in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia stemming from the arrests on March 20. Sheehan and two others were acquitted of crossing a police line, while Chiroux and two others were found guilty.[88] |

Quoted: Confused woman. She thought she could do some good protesting in her sons name. All the media and libs were egging her on. Now that POS is in the Whitehouse, she has been thrown under the bus without any resolution as to her dead son. Kinda sad really. I think the poor woman really did lose her mind. I can't imagine her grief, but you eventually have to move on. Since her therapy didn't work, she and her Code Pink loons are looked at as total whack-jobs. Nobody takes them seriously. It is sad.  |

Speaking of the code pink loons, I saw a pic on here, in a thread about the bitch speaking to the naacp. They were protesting her removal. They're still idiots and useful. |
