Idiot Cindy barks at dems

like the dog that she is...

WASHINGTON — Iraq war protesters broke up a press conference by House Democrats on Wednesday with chants to bring American troops home from Iraq.

Chanting "de-escalate, investigate, troops home now," the protesters disrupted a briefing aimed at outlining priority goals when Democrats take over the House and Senate on Thursday.

Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war activist and mother of a soldier who died in Iraq, led the group to Capitol Hill to warn Democrats that party activists expect them to end the war in Iraq and confront the White House on a change in Iraq strategy.

"We didn't put you in power to work with the people that have been murdering hundreds of thousands of people since they have been in power," Sheehan said. "We put you in power to be opposition to them finally and we're the ones who put them in power."

Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., cut the press conference short when protests drowned out his voice through a dozen microphones set up to record his comments. Emanuel said Democrats would go back to the caucus room and return later.

LOL, how fucking stupid are these protesters? Instead of trying to work with the new party in power, lets alienate them and marginalize ourselves further!! And, let's yell so loudly that they have to move the conference into a private caucus room so we can't be involved or hear what they're saying!!

Goddam they're slick.

that is the same term the united states used to describe suicide bombers when they were fighting the russians.... in fact, that is exactely what we called osama bin laden when he was fighting the russians. they only switch from freedom fighters to terrorists when we are the ones occupying their countries. also, i thought you would be happy to see someone protesting democrats.

I guess it depends which side of the fence you are on......does not reflect my views but their are opposite opinions out there.....just a matter of perspective I guess....I see them as PART of the problem....as I do America for being there as PART of the problem.....

i worry that she will lose sight of what she is fighting for.

although, the dems are allowing this war to go on as well, so bark away Cindy! Her cause is to end the war, so by any means neccessary if that's your cause.

Her message is the same, but the power behind that message was diluted years ago. When she first started her campaign. Just a mother looking for an answer, it was power. There was something so tragic about it. you couldn't help but feel for her loss. The minute MoveOn.org and the Democrats jumped on and used her to help propel their agenda the message started getting all muddy and lost it's power. You stopped feeling sorry for this woman and all of a sudden it wasn't a mother wanting answers but it was someone with a political agenda. Had she just told all the hanger ons thank yopu but no thanks I'm doing this for my son not for your career or agenda she would still have my respect to this day.

I love this article, how it refers to Cindy Sheehan as the mother of a soldier who died in Iraq. Anonymous soldier? The guy had a name, have some goddamn respect. Let's try not forget about Casey shall we? Even though I believe she has.

To gain momentum and strength behind a cause often you'll have to organize. We may not agree with MoveOn but she obviously did.

Maybe she did agree with them but in the end associating herself with them only hurt her cause. There are many moderates and even Republicans that I know who where really supportive of her cause up untill MoveOn, Air America, Michael Moore, etc joined in. Then they felt that her motives where driven by partisan politics and not just the desire of a mother to find out why her son had to die.

It doesn't seem to too partisan to me considering she's blasting the Dems for supporting the war, as well. I think she made a personal choice to organize with groups she saw as sharing her view and that could help get her message out. We don't have to support her organizations or agree with her move. But to act as if it's not about her son and the anti war movement but just about publicity and power is a bit of a stretch used mostly by the war supporters, imo.

The Democrats are uniters, not dividers?! Somehow I sense the Dems are shaping up fast to be 2 year wonders. I'm loving it.
