Cindy Sheehan's T-Shirt causes Bedwetters to crumble

What's more dangerous to the SOTU than those .50 caliber rilfles?

Cindy Sheehan's t-shirt.

Will Bunch has more:





That's what Cindy Sheehan's T-shirt said. The picture above shows the response in the Capitol tonight. To very loosely paraphrase Norma Desmond, the shirt is clean, it's the government that's obscene.

Did you know that in 1971, the Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional to arrest a man who wore a 'F--- the Draft' T-shirt into the courthouse? (Cohen v. California, you can look it up.) So now Alito's on the court for 45 minutes and your civil liberties are already going down the toilet. You were warned.

Somebody at Daily Kos suggested that every American who's appalled by what happened tonight should -- on the same day -- wear a T-shirt that reads '2,245 Dead -- How Many More?? to work, school, church, court (by day's end, perhaps) or wherever we need to be. It's our right, after all.

We're in. Maybe someone can use the T-shirt proceeds to buy some body armor for the troops.

UPDATE: Capitol cops: 'We screwed up.'

The former Marine says he now questions the US tactics and believes troops should have been withdrawn some time ago. He said: "When I was in the service my opinion was whatever the Commander-in-Chief's opinion was. But after I got out, I started to think about it. The biggest question I have now is how you can make a war on an entire country when a certain group from that country is practising terrorism against you. It's as if a gang from New York went to Iraq and blew some stuff up and Iraq started a war against us because of that."

Mr Miller's image was captured by the Los Angeles Times photographer Luis Sinco. At the time, he smoked five packs a day. Now, recently married and looking to make a fresh start, he has cut down to just one.
I applaud Cindy's courage. But she needs to work on her timing, for maximum impact. WE need to know what her shirt said, not that the Empire cares. They never do.

Funny the right used to decry the heavy handed police tactics, I mean isn't that the rallying cry of the NRA(Not Really Awake), but when it's done to keep chimpy-boy from pissing on himself seeing a woman ho can speak her mind, so cindy had to go, probably the same reason he can't look at Helen Thomas in the front row of the white house pressroom, an 80 year old woman with a mind of her own intimidates the chimp in chief.

Did King George vouchsafe midway through his Stateing: "I have constitutional powers. I am using my powers to bypass congress and the courts during my vaguely defined "War" to PROTECT America from future September 11's"?

And I thought, leave it to King George to One-Up Adolph Hitler. Hitler took power by forcing the German Assembly to pass the Enabling Act after the burning of the Reichstag. King George asserts that, following the Elevening of September, Congress PASSED the enabling act, and they have just forgotten it.

You gotta admire the brass, even as you're repelled by everything else.

FLASHBACK: Man Wearing Anti-Clinton T-Shirt Removed from Senate Gallery at Impeachment Trial
Wed Feb 01 2006 08:47:08 ET

Cindy Sheehan, the anti-war activist who was removed from the House gallery last night before the State of the Union address for wearing a t-shirt with a political message, is not the first person to be tossed from a Congressional gallery at a high-profile event for wearing a political t-shirt.

In the early days of the Senate's impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton in January 1999, a Pennsylvania man named Dave Delp was removed by the Capitol police from the Senate gallery for wearing a t-shirt that said, "Clinton doesn't inhale, he sucks."

The Pennsylvania school teacher was yanked out of a VIP Senate gallery and briefly detained last week during the impeachment trial for wearing a T-shirt with graphic language dissing President Clinton.

Delp, 42, of Carlisle, Pa., and a friend had just settled into their seats when four Capitol security guards approached them. Delp said at the time that he was ordered to button his coat and follow the guards. Outside the chamber, he was told "several people felt threatened by your shirt."

Even after establishing that Delp was a guest of Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), the guards wouldn't let him back in and escorted him to a basement security area, where they questioned and photographed him.

After being given one of the photos as a souvenir, Delp said he was banned from the Capitol for the rest of the day. "They were polite and professional," Delp added, "but they really did scare me. I think I should have been given the chance to cover up."
