Do you think she thought of that herself, or did the people from moveon.org tell her to do it?

On Sunday, a rally supporting the war drew roughly 500 participants. Speakers included veterans of World War II and the war in Iraq, as well as family members of soldiers killed in Iraq.

“I would like to say to Cindy Sheehan and her supporters, ‘Don’t be a group of unthinking lemmings.’ It’s not pretty,” said Mitzy Kenny of Ridgeley, W.Va., whose husband died in Iraq last year. The anti-war demonstrations “can affect the war in a really negative way. It gives the enemy hope.”

I think Howard Dean told her to do it. Does she have a tatoo on her ankle?

That vacant, lunatic grin on her face is a bit unsettling. Like the lights are on but no one's home.

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone's been home since her son was killed

I hope she can eventually come to terms with things.

Yea, I was wondering why she was smiling.

I do too.

It's like she thinks she is honoring her son by getting herself arrested. Or that she is really cutting Bush down to the bone by it. I really think she might want to seek some grief counseling.... And if she already has, I think she needs more.

I heard her give an interview on NPR and was totally unimpressed. She seemed arrogant and gave really terse answers. She didn't come off as particularly likeable.

That being said, she is not the first to lose a loved one and question why in a controversial war -- nor will she be the last. She is neither the first or last to question authority.

There was a lot of this during the Vietnam era -- and, in the end, the Peace Movement prevailed.

If she is making a statement she really believes in, which is her right under our Constitution, I am certainly not going to take her to task for it.

Peaceful Civil Disobedience has become a part of our political decision making process, particularly since the days of the Civil Rights movement and Vietnam Peace movement.

Getting a "ticket" for unlawful protest is hardly a big deal.

Did you ever occupy an administration building?

More like, was he ever a hippy?

C'mon there DA, ever eat paper and spread flower love?

I hate to say it but that picture destroys what crediblilty she may have had with the "mainstream"...

As long as she appeared to be somewhat credible and only slightly used/abused by the extreme left she had some media weight - but now her 15 minutes are done and she is/has rapidly become a joke.

Leaving aside the fact that I'm Canadian (for you Rudey) - I opposed the war, and I thought its' prosecution and aftermath wew a joke.. however I haven't drank/smoked enough that I would consider the immediate withdraw of US troops a good thing. Basically she may have set out with a 'noble' goal at the beginning of her protest, but now she has become the tool of the far left/joke that many conservative media pundits portrayed her as...

Nope. In fact, I was in ROTC while in college. That, however, doesn't/didn't necessarily put me in conflict with people who question the decisions of our leadership in a peaceful manner.

You have summed it up pretty well.
