| Cindy Sheehan to Station Herself Outside White House |
| 2009-10-06 |
| ABC News’ Yunji de Nies and Sunlen Miller report: She’s back and this time, she’s here to stay. Cindy Sheehan says she is moving to Washington. The anti-war activist was outside the White House for the second day in a row, with a bullhorn and a handful of protestors, shouting against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Guantanamo and calling for “health care not warfare.” Park Police arrested Sheehan and 60 other protestors yesterday, after Sheehan chained herself to the fence on the North Lawn. Sheehan says she refuses to pay the fine and that she and other anti-war activists plan to “step up” their protests until the administration shows a willingness to withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan. |

| #7 She may be a loon, but she's an evil loon. Had up close and personal contact with her at Bush's ranch in Crawford a few years ago. To say she's doing this for any altruistic sense of duty is pure BS. We showed up in numbers and we won, at least that battle. |

| #4 Personally, I think the sitting president should be able to appoint, without question, one D.C. judge, whose purpose should be solely to meet out justice to all the fruitcakes who assail the White House every day of the year. And that in an act of true presidential bipartisanship, they should agree to get the meanest, surliest, snarliest, maximum fine and sentencing judge in the US for this position. One who frequently sends lawyers to join their clients in the jug, and gleefully issues contempt citations, restraining orders, and blanket injunction from his bench, and who misses no opportunity to chastise rabble-rousing public nuisances to their face, while they have to shut up and take it, or else. |

| #3 Cindy is a loon and her antics have overshadowed her son's heroism, but I give her points for consistency. |

| #2 I hope the bus tours put her on their points of interest list and that ABC takes her off theirs. No more publicity for her, please. |
