Cindy In The Brig
Cindy Sheehan was arrested before the President's State of the Union speech because she was trying to unfurl a banner in the House chamber. Has she been around long enough that I can finally stop feeling guilty for wishing she'd STFU and disappear? I might actually respect her if she didn't sound like a moonbat every time she opens that hole in her face.

Every time I hear her, I can't help but imagine how her son would feel about what she is doing and saying.

She lost a son on misinformation. If you did what would you do? BTW, she only had on a t-shirt with political discourse.

It is one thing to protest outside the presiden't ranch, our outside the White House, but it is quite another to spit in the face of nation during the annual State of the Union address.
I know what people think...I am conservative, so I disagree with Ms. Sheehan. My political views have little to do with this discussion. I would find it in poor taste if a conservative Christian interrupted Bill Clinton's speech. It is not the political statement I am offended by. It is the lack of respect for the office of the president that gets me. I did not always agree with my professors, teachers, priests, parents, etc., but they deserved my respect because of what they were, not who they were. It would serve Ms. Sheehan well to remember that before she attempts something so disrespectful again.

As someone who swings both ways politically, depending on the specific issue, I agree with this statement wholeheartedly. It isn't about the issue so much as the way you handle yourself, present your side, and engage in discourse with others. I am quite comfortable around people who disagree with me, whether I'm in the minority or the majority with my perspectives, but find disrespect, hatefulness, and lack of integrity inexcusable on any side of an issue.
