You left out the 50 "ahs" and "Well,s."

At least Hanoi Jane would make a nice hooker in Nam. Cindy is just useless.

[clifcrds]

When her 15 minutes of fame is finally up she can continue her career by becoming a sure fire cure for serial rapists.

[cweese]

Thanks! I've been busy the past few days and not heard of this until now.

[cubreporter]

Go home cindeeee......

[varyouga]

Check out the cop on the left at the rally. It looks like he got a good whiff of "Eau du Hippy" or just heard Cindy for the first time.

yup. here is something i posted from another thread on this exact subject:

"i have worked with most of those cops in the pictures. they have no patience for protesters. impromptu events spring up all the time in union square. and these cops, especially the bosses, just want to squash them if they are not legal. it looks bad for the city if they are allowed to go on unchecked."

[Puppage]

Fetch me a club

Yep, a good-ol Hickory Shampoo, if ya know what I mean.

"...it looks bad for the city if they are allowed to go on unchecked."

I can't even imagine the type of things that would go on if they were allowed to just set up shop where ever they felt like it.

I also have a hard time believing this person who organized this little protest or whatever didn't know exactly what he was doing by not getting a permit. He knew that the cops would shut them down and they could all scream, "Police brutality!"

No doubt.

[thefactor]

if you allow one group to do it, then every idiot with a bullhorn would be standing in union square pontificating about nothing. it's not all that hard to get a permit. you get them for a couple of hours and then you pack up.

everyone knows the rules. some people think their cause is so noble that no one would dare disrupt them. plus the media attention is greater if the rally gets broken up by force. the cops always look like the bad guys.

[retrokitten]

I totally agree.

I can't help but notice some hilarious irony in this episode. For almost a month, Sheehan protested the president unscathed in one of the most conservative regions of the country. No one attacked her or shut her down. Yet, after a day in the liberal city of New York, she isn't just shut down, but also roughed up.

Granted, the "permit" aspect of this story is important, but I can't help thinking that these same liberals who were so tolerant and understanding of Sheehan's plight in Texas, no longer hold that view after her recent attack on Hillary.

I'm sure if it wasn't the NYPD, it would've soon been Hillary's security service had Sheehan made similar demands of Clinton's time...especially if Camp Casey VI found itself anywhere near Clinton's residence. As has been noted on several occasions; when it comes to dissent and protests, the Clintons (like most leftists) don't have any tolerance for diverse opinions.

>>>>No one attacked her or shut her down.

Texans have this way of just letting someone make as a-- out of themselves. It saves them the trouble of using up pepper spray.

[.cnI redruM]

That was not a very sound decision...

[Thanatos]

This whole thing was a setup by Left wing wacko's. Paul Zulkowitz, the man the Police Arrested is a well known left-wing wacko activist in the New York Area..

Watch this whole Cindy Sheehan thing closely.. it is all a "Public Relations" setup who's only purpose is to get their George Soros/Fenton Communications paid Client back on the front page of the news.

[.cnI redruM]

It sounds suspicious. Zulkowitz may have been trying to get cheap publicity.

Thanks for that picture

I followed the link and saw all the pictures and the only people I saw around Cindy was her crowd .. not the police as she claims
