#1 Yes, and next week she's going to protest the fire department's pancake breakfast. It's obviously part of the zionist conspiracy, right? (Wotta maroon.)

#2 Good luck with that Cindy.
I went to the Blue Angels show back in June at McGuire AFB. The people who attended that for the most part didn't seem like the sort that would be very receptive to you or your nonsense.
In the VIP section there were about 100 soldiers back from Iraq and nearly 100,000 people in attendance gave them quite an ovation.
I doubt you'd be received as well.

#3 The reaction you're describing is exactly what she and her media masters are looking for. Just like the wackos at Westboro Baptist Church who bait congregations with their protests so they can sue deep pockets, Cindy is looking to pick a fight with some guy with one PBR too many. Stay away from the wacko in the ditch.

By September 10, Katrina and Judge Roberts will have ended her 15 minutes of fame unless she can stir something up.

#5 Yup they are counting on some group or individuals to come by and crack them on the noggin so they can scream "facist" and bring legal action against them. At the trial the lawyer can argue that this group was trying to provoke such a reaction by being there.

#6 Gotta keep relevant after Bush leaves Crawford.

Personally I can't wait until the 2006 elections when her "this country is not worth defending" line appears in a million republican ads and Democrats are asked if they support or denounce her views and they try to hem and haw and duck and dodge.

Can we say split in the Democratic party. I thought you could.

#10 This should be fun:
COUNTDOWN TO THE STATEWIDE PROTEST/VIGIL AT BRUNSWICK NAVAL AIR STATION

When: Saturday, Sept. 10, 2005

Where: March begins at Brunswick Mall, and ends at NASB Main Gate

Time: 9 A.M. (at the Mall)

The Event We're Protesting:
The Navy's "Blue Angels" Air Show

Theme of Our Protest:
"Stop the Worship of the Gods of War!"

On Sat., Sept. 10th, Maine Veterans for Peace will be joined by other major peace and justice groups (see list of co-sponsors below) in a massive protest:

. to protest the false god idolatry of the Blue Angels Air Show, whose "ooh-&-aah" performances have one purpose: to promote badly-lagging military recruitment to protest the obscene waste of American tax dollars to stage these Blue Angels' multi-million dollar extravaganzas

. to protest Bush's immoral, monomaniacal Iraq war -- nearly 1,800 U.S. and 100,000 Iraqi civilians dead, at a cost of over $300 billion, and still counting

. to protest NASB's complicity with the war machine, providing surveillance aircraft to target ground forces, which in the end cause horrendous "collateral damage"

. to challenge NASB to convert to peaceful purposes, creating good-paying high-tech/industrial jobs, making products that improve lives, not end them

We urge you to join us Sept. 10 in Brunswick. Also joining us will be Kathy Kelly (Founder: Voices in the Wilderness) and Cindy Sheehan (Founder: Gold Star Families for Peace)

Maine Veterans for Peace/13 Soper Rd./Chesterville, ME 04938 /vfpmaine.org

#11 I do hope she and her cohorts remember to stay well clear of props and turbine exhaust when they get worked up into that blissful foaming at the mouth with glazed eyes and mouth a jabber type of activist coma thingy. It's not nice and maybe I go to hell for saying it but PHUK her and her mates. I loved to watch the jets and aircraft at air shows as a child with my grandfather and any phukwit nutter who'd see fit to potentially ruin that experience in the name of politics (for which children could care less) should be grabbed by the scruff of the neck and dragged off the premises. Should they be clocked in the head gently with a baton I will not shed a tear. Ok, done.

#12 Is she going to protest any of the military that helps out in Nwawlins.

#13 Airshow is on Sept 10.

How perfect can it be that the protestors show such a Sept 10th mindset.

#14 shows how out of touch the far left can be. they really think they're gonna influence people who attend an air show?!

not hardly.

I have no problem with those who want to question our actions in iraq. Heck, I admire people who have good command of the facts. I do, however, have problems with kneejerk reactionaries who show no real understanding of the issues and simply parrot what they've been told.

the fact that they've chosen a blue angels air show tells me they have a very distorted view of how the rest of the country in general, and air show viewers in particular, view the current state of affairs.

she will not be greeted favorably.

#15 Cindy and Co are picking a venue for a backdrop for the MSM. They are the publicity ho's for her and her handlers' ops. What the audience at the airshow does can be edited out. The LLL is going to run this Cindy horse till it dies. No wonder her husband is divorcing her. Humiliating, to say the least.

#18 Any chance we could have an A-10 demonstrate a strafing run (of Leftist loons)?

Very brutal.
