Tomorrow's Headline - Cindy Arrested At SOTU Address...

[global1]

mother of a son killed in George Bush's war was arrested as she tried to attend the SOTU address wearing a t-shirt with the number of American's killed in George Bush's war.

Freedom!!!! GWB's word for tonight - but not for Cindy.

1. Michael Moore's website has the story up; still says banner.

Can you post a link where it says she was wearing a t-shirt and not unfurling a banner? Thanks.

2. Big mistake, IMO. Big, big mistake.

Peace.

5. Agreed.

It would have been much, much better for the cause were she to sit (however uncomfortable and nauseating it would have been) and let him walk right past her - AGAIN - and then hit the talk show circuit tomorrow saying "Look, I'm a dead soldier's mother and I just wanted him to acknowledge what our families have sacrificed, and he ignored me/us again... "

Instead, she'll be portrayed as a 'wild-eyed radical' and 'disrespectful' ad neauseum.


The Dems just continue to harpoon themselves at every turn, don't they?
Who needs KKKarl? We're sinking our own ship.

Sigh.

6. I Think It's A Big Mistake For * To Have This Arrest Go Down On....

his watch - so to speak. Has the potential to do as much damage to * as when Cindy posed the question to him "What's the noble cause. Meet with me Mr. pResident and tell me - what's the noble cause." His poll numbers went down considerably during the handling/mishandling of that.

If I were Rove - I'd make this go away real fast.

7. not a mistake at all . . . she accomlished something! . . .

first of all, if she didn't completely shift the focus from the SOTU, she at least forced the media to split its focus some . . .

and second, unlike the corporate press, Cindy tried to get the truth out to the American people . . truth about the number of American casualties in Iraq (which the press is ignoring), and truth about BushCo's complete disdain for First Amendment rights (which the press is also ignoring) . . . if she doesn't do it, who will? . . . the Congress? . . . the press? . . .

we're facing national and global crises of historic proportions . . . if Cindy helped to awaken just a few more people, she accomplished a hell of a lot more than she would have sitting on her hands and politely listening to more lies from the scum who got he son killed . . .
