Cindy Sheehan will be at The State of the Union Address!

Cindy Sheehan will be in the room when President Bush gives the State of the Union Speech tonight! I wonder is Sheehan will make a desprate grab for attention and disrupt the speech.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Cindy Sheehan said she will be part of the live audience during the president's State of the Union speech to congress Tuesday.

Bay Area Congresswoman Lynn Woosley gave anti-war activist a gallery pass late Tuesday

The Link.

Amazing! Shocking!

I think the woman has some decency, if she does interupt the speech then itll just be an attention grab(and rude by the way). I let the first one slide, I mean she did lose a kid ya know. She may was used in my opinion, others capitalized on her loss and grief which is just plain wrong, and turned her grief into anger. I kinda feel bad for her to a degree but shes not the only one to lose someone over there. I hope and think it will stay civil.

Uhm..Cindy Sheehan is not a world event of major importance, and like her, this story isn't interesting or noteworthy in any way, that I can tell.

I don't like her, but to my credit, I do a much better job of ignoring her than most of you partisans. I mean, for Christ's sake, if you dislike the woman so much, why do you give her so much free advertising? Most all the Cindy Sheehan threads on ATS were started by angry Republicans complaining about her antics. Do you realize how important name-recognition is in securing votes?

Rock on though, just don't blame me when she beats out a pig and a dead guy to take her seat in the halls of power.

According to FOX News Cindy was in the chamber but removed in handcuffs and detained after she tried some type of demonstration!

She has already been thrown out.

Shame on Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey for inviting her in the 1st place.

I will personnally give "free advertising" to Cindy Sheehan anytime I can, because her stupidity only hurts the democrats.

Keep it up Cindy!

What did she do, have the nerve to ask to speak to the president who wants to go on with his life while her son lies dead in his grave? My God the vindictive nature of the woman to expect an answer from the man who led us into this war that cost her, her son, her future grandchildren and she thinks she has a right to expect him to answer her plea for an explanation. What is the world coming to when some mother of a dead soldier expects such a thing?

Cindy Sheehan should take her time and make it useful and do something for the troops over there. Nothing will bring her child back, and she needs to do something constructive. Her son would probably be embarrased to know his mother was arrested for protesting after he gave his like for his country. He even reenlisted, so this is not a person who did not want to be there.

marriage.about.com...

She was losing her husband to divorce after her sons death, and now I feel that she is using the death of her child not to promote an agenda, but for attention because she is alone.

If she had an agenda other than crying and telling the administration to pull out, they might listen. Poor woman is becoming a left wing media whore.

It should be noted that she also stated that President Bush was "...sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis...I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."

en.wikipedia.org...

She stated that she understood to Bush, and then did a 180. She has had a meeting ....

On August 6, 2005, Sheehan met with two high-level Bush administration officials, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Joe Hagin. According to The New York Times (August 6, 2005) the meeting lasted 45 minutes. The Times also reported that Ms. Sheehan told the two officials she appreciated their meeting with her. After the interview she said, "I think they thought I'd be very impressed and intimidated that these two high-level officials came to talk to this little grieving mother, and that I'd leave."

Not to many people have a chance to voice their opinion top the NSA and the Chief of Staff, so it is not like they are ignoring her, which would be hard to do.

Check the bank account of that congresswoman, because that was a set up if I ever saw one.

What did she do, have the nerve to ask to speak to the president who wants to go on with his life while her son lies dead in his grave?

Fist of all, this administration has already spoken with Cindy Sheehan, get you facts straight and spare us the cynical sarcasm. There is also a clear difference between grief and saddens, and using you situation to become a politic tool and mouth piece for the far left.

Gee, do ya think?

She got detained before the festivities started. It appears she meant to unravel some kind of contraband flyer denouncing administration policy.

If your child died b/c someone lied to the right people, you would be outraged. And you would take that outrage as far as it would go. If you deny that, you are not human.

I don't like her, but to my credit, I do a much better job of ignoring her than most of you partisans. I mean, for Christ's sake, if you dislike the woman so much, why do you give her so much free advertising?

That's why you're posting here. I'm getting a headache. Why are you posting here, anyway? You're just giving the woman play, afterall, by your responses.

Cindy Sheehan was arrested during the Speech!

Cindy Link!

As a person who asked to be there, I will step out and speak on behalf of Casey Sheehan (crucify me - big deal), if I knew my country arrested my mother for speaking out on my behalf, I would be horrified, angry, ashamed and altogether unleashed. The way you people have trash talked Cindy Sheehan for speaking her mind is depraved. The last time I checked she had a constitutional right to say how she felt.

She should be executed for the crimes she committed tonight, then she can join her son, maybe that'd make her happy. I know it'd make me happy.

What's wrong with you? Really. Are you trying on purpose to be a stereotype of the evil, dictatorial conservative or what?

What crimes? Executed? Come on, you're just showing how much she gets under your skin.

Cindy should be executed for being there? Too much!

Go Cindy! (Should I be executed for saying that?)

was charged with demonstrating in the Capitol building, said Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider. The charge was later changed to unlawful conduct, Schneider said. Both charges are misdemeanors.

She does not have the right to go around breaking laws...

The woman is a traitor. Back when America was great and actually had a backbone someone like this would have been executed without anyone batting an eye.
