Okay, Bush apologists, spin this one

Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said Sheehan was charged with unlawful conduct, a misdemeanor.

That "unlawful conduct"? "Referring to the number of Americans killed in Iraq, the shirt read, "2,245 and how many more?''"

That's right, folks - this miserable sack of sputum and his thought police just made it illegal to wear anti-war t-shirts. I can't wait to see how the scumsucks and their apologists spin this to even vaguely try and explain how wearing a t-shirt is illegal. I mean, to heck with that whole free speech thing, right?

As sick as the whole thing makes me, I think there is a law about demonstrating inside the Capitol building. I think it falls under the same situation as campaigning past a certain point at the polls.

That's fucking appalling.

Thanks for this, Doc. So far, the only mention on my flist other than yours is the person ranting on about how "arrogant, stupid, and unAmerican" Sheehan is.

What's next? Are all of us who are not Hetero-guntoting-Christian-Republican-missionary position-warloving-Jesusfreaks going to be gathered up and burned at the stake? Certainly seems like we're headed in that direction...

Her action was in poor taste, and if there is a regulation against protest inside the capitol, then the arrest does not distress me. However, if there is no regulation against protest inside the capitol, then she has my sympathy. But, make no mistakes, that *was* a protest.

Wow.

Very reminiscent for me of Iron Jawed Angels (http://www.hbo.com/films/ironjawedangels/synopsis/index.html), and what happened when they dared to silently protest outside of the white house gates/ question the president during a time of war.

They want us to sit down and shut up. Should we give them what they want? HELL NO.
