  • Civil disobedience is still disobedience.

    Standing up for what you believe in is cool, but getting arrested for it is bullshit.
    They're gonna tell you where to walk
    When to smile and just what to say
    They say have your own fun...

    I have heard that the spotlight is addicting.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
  • I don't have an ounce of respect for Sheehan. She makes me sick everytime I hear about her disgracing her son's name.

    I heard on republican radio that he was actually a step-son or a son-in-law or something like that, and that she actually spent very little time with him. Any confirmations?

    You've got to be "disobedient" to get arrested. What civil disobedience is saying is that, "I don't care for the way you're doing things here, so arrest me for it."

    She is honoring her son's life.

    If that is the definition of media whore, then I agree.

    Let me save you some trouble. I did a little scouting around and found some quotes that I'm sure you'll agree with. I swear to God I'm ashamed to call some of you fuckers fellow Americans, but I try.

    “In a more civil society, we’d toss her ass in jail for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.”

    “This woman deserves nothing more than a swift kick in the ass.”

    “The only pain I hear from this woman is the pain of having to live in a nonsocialist society.”

    “I think her son would call her worse things.”

    On drudge.com, the Drudge Retort (as opposed to the Drudge Report), there is a long exchange on Sheehan. Here are some of the uglier comments:
    “Shut your pie hole bitch. Let your son rest in peace.”

    “Another lying liberal bitch with an agenda.”

    “Seditious cunt.”

    “What would have been funny is if this crazy ho was to blow herself up on live TV.”

    "YOU STINK you nasty CUNT! Eat Shit and DIE bitch!!"

    "Didn't you pose for Oriental Dolls magazine a couple of years ago? You look just like one of those little fuck sluts with her wide open legs and sloppy cunt - Oh no excuse me, that's your face."

    "Cindy is a communist whore and should therefore shut the hell up . . . In short, I think Cindy Sheehan is a shameless bitch who needs to either a) shut up or b) be shot."

    "Cindy Sheehan should be ashamed of her actions. he son was not forced to go to Iraq he volunteered to go, this is an all volunteer military.

    He went and served his country and we should all be proud of what he did. I know all of us in the military are. What she is doing is spitting on her sons memory and all he stood for and did. President Bush should not even think of speaking to her. What if the President was to meet with every person who lost a family member durring WWII thats all he would have been doing. Look at all those killed in Korea and veitnam. Only an idiot would expect the president to meet with her.

    She should be proud of the job were doing. We lost 5,000 soliders on D-Day. We have only lost 1,800 in Iraq. That is out standing. I don't understand the media, we are winning hands down in all areas. So kick Cindy Sheehan of the news and out of the country."

    "I hope the President continues to ignore the loony bitch -- and leave her out there in the sun... Once in awhile -- to show "compassion", he should send down some cold lemonade."

    "This is one sick, liberal bitch! and beside that she's ugly ashell!! Propagandist Whore Cindy Sheehan--Her son is rolling in his grave at the disgust and hate for his Liberal whore mother and the way she has desecrated his memory..."
    (vpcenter.org)

    "Cindy Sheehan is a opportunist vulture, preying on the corpse of her own son to get her face on the camera. . . . Point blank: Cindy Sheehan is a craven, immoral old hag who is exploiting the sacrifice of her son to feed her own ego. I am convinced she is mentally ill for raping her own progeny's corpse for political gain. Nice one, Sheehan you fucking douche."
    (http://www.haloscan.com/comments.php?user=crooks&comment=4367)

    "I hope Cindy Sheehan gets heat-stroke, hit by a truck or bit by a rattlesnake while she protests outside of my friend's ranch."
    (spaces.msn.com/member/aiamor, via The Washington Post and dailykos.)

    "She doesn't give shit 1 about her son. His death is just another gimmick in her moonbat bag of tricks to protest the war. This woman was off the reservation long before her son died. Like most antiwar protestors, no death is too small for her to exploit."

    Sheehan responds to her critics: “Nothing you can say can hurt me or make me stop what we are doing. We are working for peace with justice. We are using peaceful means and the truth to do it.”

    I don't know man, I was witness to one of Sheehan's press conferences at the UW several months ago, and it looked like alligator tears to me. One minute she is talking about how Casey was never for this war (he reenlisted while serving in Iraq), while crying, and not a minute later after the cameras are turned off she is laughing it up with some friends or people she knew. It was so disingenuous. If she really wanted to honor her son maybe she shouldn't have waited more then a year to place a head stone at her son's grave.

    She's certainly effective at getting her message out to the masses. I don't see what she has done to piss so many off. She has her opinions and isn't afraid to speak out as much or as long as it takes. She hasn't just given up and that gets under people's skin more than anything.

    It seems like you already had your mind made up and are now fishing for things to validate your opinion.

    Of all the things for people to get upset about in the past few years, the redneck reaction to Sheehan has got to be one of the most puzzling things I have ever witnessed.

    Yes, I do believe that I am. She was paid several thousands of dollars by the gov't after her son was killed, yet she left his grave without a headstone. Her ex-husband finally bought one for his grave. And you are talking about honor. Give me a fucking break, where's the honor in that?

    I think you're splitting hairs here. I think it's also possible, considering the redneck knee jerks, they didn't want to put the headstone up for fear of vandalism.

    FYI, the military pays for a generic sort of headstone for all vets, past and present. I'm guessing they chose not to go with that one.

    you fuckers

    Nice. Not sure what those quotes were that you dug up. I've never called her a communist, or said that she had no right to say the things she does. I have said that she was being used by various anti-war groups, that her son would not have approved of her actions, and that when she violates laws I'm glad she gets arrested, or escorted out of events. She has a right to say things, she doesn't have a right to be universal agreement or respect. Those are completely different things. And you have now forfeited any claim to respect here by calling those with whom you disagree "fuckers". Well played.

    Oh my.

    And learn to construct a sentence:

    I can't think of anything else to call these people. All of those quotes I copied and posted have a uniform conformity about them of sexism, ignorance and hatred. Redneck. Seems fitting.

    Take out the "be", I changed the sentence structure and forgot to remove it. You'll forgive the occasional typo on a message board. And grow up.

    'redneck' is regional. 'asshole' is more universal. i'd go with that one.

    i'm sick of hearing her name mentioned every 5 months, but whatever. i'm not going to pop an artery about it. she speaks for many, but she also makes herself look like a dolt and provides comic relief for others.

    It is odd of you to suggest that ex-post facto, but I'm happy to take it back to the actual subject matter.
