Grieving Mother's War Protest Draws Notice

By ANGELA K. BROWN, Associated Press Writer
CRAWFORD, Texas - The mother of a fallen U.S. soldier who started a quiet roadside peace vigil near
President Bush's ranch last weekend is drawing supporters from across the nation.

Dozens of people have joined her and others have sent flowers and food. One activist called her "the Rosa Parks of the anti-war movement."

Cindy Sheehan, 48, of Vacaville, Calif., says she was surprised at the response.

3. "dozens",...will they EVER acknowledge reality,....EVER?

They dramatize the Shiavo situation while COMPLETELY DENYING global protests against the BushCo/neoCON regime that exceeded anything of record short of "biblical" myth.

FUCK!!!!

Even Hitler didn't draw such opposition!!!! Doesn't ANY PROFESSIONAL MEDIA GET THAT?!?!?!?!
