Cindy Sheehan arrested

WASHINGTON -- Capitol Police dropped a charge of unlawful conduct against anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Wednesday and offered apologies to her and a congressman's wife after they were ejected from President Bush's State of the Union address for wearing T-shirts with war messages.
Police removed Sheehan and Beverly Young, wife of Rep. C.W. "Bill" Young (R-Fla.), from the visitors gallery Tuesday night. Sheehan was charged with a misdemeanor; Young was not arrested.
The unlawful conduct charge against Sheehan was being dropped, said Deputy House Sergeant of Arms Kerri Hanley. And in a private meeting Wednesday, Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer apologized, Rep. Young told reporters.
"They were operating under the misguided impression that the T-shirt was not allowed," Hanley said.
Sheehan's T-shirt made reference to the number of soldiers killed in Iraq: "2,245 Dead. How many more?" Young's shirt had the message: "Support the Troops--Defending Our Freedom."

Nothing about the banner she was carrying? Interesting. I wonder why the non-bias media wouldn't report that.

So carrying banners is an arrestable offence?
Strange - you'd think she'd have been charged if that was the case.

I wish someone would charge her and shut her ugly ass up.

They have concluded that was a mistake. It was just a shirt. Her arrest represents the state America is and has been in in regards to free speech since its founding. And Bush was bleating on about freedom and democracy throughout the majority of his State of the Union.

what if Sheehan wanted to dance around naked and with "NO MORE" written on one tit and "WAR" written on the other? Would that be proper for a State of the Union address?

What if she didn't and was ejected amidst a speech filled with false propagandic jargon about free speech and worldwide democracy?
"Hi."

I think Sheehan is almost as ignorant and tired as anybody who supports the statement "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedom." This is ridiculous.

Banner? please provide the non-biased source of that information. I guess the marxist media conspiracy covered that iformation up because you took your tinfoil hat off. I'm sure you won't forget next time. Don't worry, if you keep playing the victim eventually a democrat might pass a law for you...
