Sheehan To Tie Herself To White House Fence
2005-10-24
WASHINGTON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son’s death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq.

“I’m going to go to Washington, D.C. and I’m going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I’m going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home,” Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached.

“And I’ll probably get arrested, and when I get out, I’ll go back and do the same thing,” she said.

The death toll among U.S. military forces since the March 2003 invasion stood at 1,996 on Sunday.

The milestone’s approach prompted plans for hundreds of other demonstrations across the United States, but for Sheehan, each military death in the Iraqi war has been a tragedy

#23  rm - Snopes. He became who he was certainly in spite of her - and possibly, just possibly, to spite her, though I'd rather not speak ill of him in any way - he deserves far better than he's gotten by having this sick fuck as his mother.

#22  I read somewhere last week that she actually did not raise her son, but that he was raised by his father and step mom. Anyone know if this is true? If it is, then it is incredibly relevant to he POV being almost totally worthless, especially when it is added to the fact that her son RE-enlisted and volunteered for the mission in which he was killed.

#21  When she does this. Secret Service should act like they do not know she is "tied" to the fence and just zap her with tazers for about 12 hours. Maybe even shoot her with their hand cannons for not moving along when told to...

#18  OK, I'm outing her now as having 'ties to the White House'.

The lefty pirhanas will pick her bones clean and swim on...

#17  Dress up some Secret Service Guys in squirrel suits and have them carry her away for the winter.
The loons will think it's all part of the show...

#16  I don't understand why nobody has planted tons of Poison oak and poison ivy and cactus along the base of the fence. Yeah you can stand there all you want, but don't come nocking on our door for some anti-itch cream you bastards!

#15  Where's Tom Sawyer when you need him? I think Mother Sheehan might look fetching in a nice thick coat of sopping wet white-wash.

#14   I STILL think her son was switched at birth! I want a DNA test! We owe him that. Wouldn't YOU want one?

#13  I wanna sell tickets! A buck a whack, and I'll supply the axehandles. All funds will go to an Iraqi orphanage. No hitting above the neck!

#12  As a practical matter, Ms Sheehan has not shown the ability to stay in one place for very long. I'd let her sit handcuffed to the fence until she got bored.

#11  Toss her ass in the DC lockup this time. That'll cure her.

Will she tie herself at the neck?

#9  Current kills but voltage hurts like heck. Run several hundred KVolts at no current down the fence for entertainment purposes.
Maybe a big Van de Graf...

#6  I wouldn't bet on it Spot - people like Shithan are certified moonbats - they would probably revel in their own shait. Kind of like throwning feces.

but for Sheehan, each military death in the Iraqi war has been a tragedy

Typical Al-Reuthers - they missspelled is another chance to dishonor those who died honorably.

#5  If she's going to tie herself to the fence, just leave her there. She'll untie herself after she has soiled herself a couple of times. The answer to these moonbats is to ignore them - they can't stand that.

#4  I'd set the gluetraps next to a podium with a microphone. Her species cannot resist the temptatiom.

#3  Maybe if they leave THE BITCH there long enough she'll die.

#1  This is like the "Breaking Bonaduce" of activism. You'd like to avert your gaze but you just have to look at the car wreck.
