again, Cindy failed as a parent

Her son Casey Sheehan was an Eagle Scout, a devout Christian, an honor roll student, and a respected member of his community.

Then he joined, what, the marines?

She was a terrible mother.

You know I may not believe in the "war", but I\'m not dumb enough to sit here and say that we can bring our troops home this moment, pulling out would be a far greater hit to our country than to keeping them there. I have family in the military and so does my fiance, who\'s dad has already done one tour and now is going back for a second. Does it suck yes! But its his job and thats what he\'s suppose to do, all you can hope for is that nothing happens to him and that he comes back in one piece.

indeed, eik

why does she think she\'s special?

i don\'t see Mary Tillman making a specticle  of herself

What happened to that guy anyway? I can never find out what happened to him.

• In a speech to the President\'s Club in 1999, Bruce Herschensohn [...] reported that he was executed 14 days later
• other sources say he was killed by firing squad a few months after the Tiananmen Square protests.
• In Red China Blues: My Long March from Mao to Now, Jan Wong writes that the man is still alive in hiding in mainland China.

Protests changed the political perspective of Vietnam guys, remember that.

I think it was the fact we were losing and in a stalemate that is the reason we pulled out and people changed their opinion.

damn hippies.  go smoke weed and introduce more crap into our society so we can degrade ourselves further.

put up or leave the damn country.

Hippies give weed a bad name.

So do rappers

This lady is the only one worth quoting

"I would like to say to Cindy Sheehan and her supporters: Don\'t be a group of unthinking lemmings," said Mitzy Kenny of Ridgeley, W.Va., whose husband died in Iraq last year. She said the anti-war demonstrations "can affect the war in a really negative way. It gives the enemy hope."

Actually "hippies" were the minority of the people I saw there. Most looked like your average, working class Joe.

Hm...it seems as if I\'m repeating myself. If you\'re going to comment, wouldn\'t you at least read the first post of the thread?

so what about all the confused, bored college students which nothing better to do except takes hits off the hookah and go shoot the bird at the whitehouse?

Alright mm, I\'ll side with you and your sweeping generalizations. Since you were there and all...

1. tell media you\'re staging a demonstration so they can make it an event and not just a bunch of losers walking in a circle with pickets
2. allow mass hearsay and rumors to spread thru local colleges
3.  make room for dirty hippies/impressionable teen agers with no self identity/minorities
4. ????
5. profit! (get arrested)
