"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan is so angry that she wasn't allowed to disrupt last night's State of the Union address that intends to file a lawsuit claiming she was brutalized by Capitol Hill police who suppressed her first amendment freedoms.
"I have the bruises and muscle spasms to prove it," Sheehan said, in a message posted to several left wing web sites after she was arrested and then released on her own recognizance.
Sheehan also contends she suffered emotional trauma, complaining: "I am so upset and sore it is hard to think straight."
The Bush-bashing Gold Star mom says she wants to take legal action, announcing:
"I have some lawyers looking into filing a First Amendment lawsuit against the government for what happened tonight. I will file it. It is time to take our freedoms and our country back."
In her message Sheehan detailed the abuse by one security guard who hauled her off after she unzipped her jacked to display a T-shirt decrying the number of Iraq war dead.
"[A Capitol Police] officer ran over to me, hauled me out of my seat and roughly [with my hands behind my back], shoved me up the stairs," she said.
The anti-war Mom recalled complaining as she was being hustled out of the building: "I'm going, do you have to be so rough?"
Sheehan said that after the officer was informed that she was a big celebrity, the abusive treatment stopped.
"You didn't care about being careful when you were dragging me up the other steps," she recalled telling the Capitol guard.
FREE CINDY!!!!!!
She's lucky she doesn't have a size 12 boot print on her backside. I sorry the loss of her son but jezz, lady, don't make it your career.
Insert the Nelson "Ha-hah!" .wav file here.
God, she is the epitome of leftist mentality. "If I'm upset, you're going to be in trouble!! (And I am going to provoke you until you do SOMETHING to upset me!!")
As if it's ever easy for her.
Her close friend Saddam Hussein would not treat her so gently. Wonder if "W" could arrange for Cindy to visit him.
This is a new phenomenon?
"A Big Celebrity"?
She pulled a "Do you know who I am?"
That's reserved for Kennedys.
If there were a right-wing Joseph Heller ready to write something hyper-satirical, we'd have Cynthia Schiesskopf to push around.
And once again, it really IS all about them. After all, the cop touched her one and only body. How dare a man insist on the rules when a WOMYN wants to do anything, go anywhere, say anything and/or be whomever she wants to.
The nerve of some people. :P
What about the emotional trauma I suffer every time I see her face on the telly?
They tried to free her. She wouldn'teave.
Cindy Sheeman is such a nut case. Keep her in front of the cameras! She's driving up the ranks of registered Republicans.
Hmmm. I suspect that was the plan all along. Typical lib, take it to court.
That's the real truth behind this POS excuse for an American.
I would love to see somebody just smack the crap out of her on live TV and let her say she's only going public and protesting because her son died in Iraq!
What kind of drugs is she on?
She thinks she is a "big celebrity." Sure Cindy, your a legend in your own mind.
That's no bruise. That's a timestamp of her 15 fame expiration notice.
A Taser would have left a less visible mark.
Anyone have the rule she violated or a link to it? All I can find is the one pertaining to the media.
i hope the cops are laughing at her. just another crackpot and they see them all the time.
She's been suffering emotional trauma for quite some time now...
I honestly believe this woman is mentally ill. She needs to be in an institution. Her behavior must be so humiliating for her family.
Nice goin' Cindy! Right out of the al Qaeda playbook! Way to follow the script!!Sheehan also contends she suffered emotional trauma, complaining: "I am so upset and sore it is hard to think straight."
Would we recognize Cindy if she wasn't upset??When did she ever think straight? That don't prove nothin'!
Cindy, dear! Please, do keep on hogging the spotlight! It sucks the air out of any news reporting on Governor Kaine's response to the SOTU speech!
I dont know if she is making more republicans as opposed to increasing the ranks of reagan democrats. Although my mom is a lost cause, my father is starting to come around. I avoid saying to much about sheehan because of her loss, but she is going way, way too far
Cindy pulls the old "don't you know who I am" routine. This woman is pathological. She makes Paris Hilton look camera-shy.
"...claiming she was brutalized by Capitol Hill police..."
Ooh! Bonus!

The State of the Cindy is not good.
Even the Democrats are cool to her these days (with a few exceptions). When she runs against Feinstein the party machine will crush her.
This quote is the key to her motivation. She loves the spotlight she earned as a critical Gold Star Mom and realizes that the spotlight will be turned off when she stops saying and doing irrational, anti-American things.
The show must go on...
"Sheehan said that after the officer was informed that she was a big celebrity, the abusive treatment stopped."
Well based on that, no one can claim she was taken out because of who she was but rather because of what she was doing.
I'd have done a full body cavity search on her.
stupid ho.
Cindy, the only "spasms" you have are between your ears -- and they have nothing to do with police behavior...
Did I read this right. It's her first amendment right to disrupt the president while he delivers a speech reporting on the state of the union, as required by the constitution. Why didn't they just let her stand between him and the cameras?
This stupid twit of a...broad...is getting delusional now.
Kay Bailey Hutchison was on FOX this morning & she said that Cindy She-Man not only took her jacket off to reveal her anti-war message, but that she was also making noise & that she threw a banner over the balcony.
I believe this woman has the capability of being very dangerous - I can smell a "Squeaky Fromme" in the making.
She is the face of the democrat party....party on Cindy
That, and she came in with the intent of causing trouble.
That woman should be given persona non grata status in the Capitol.
Just Cindy trying to feed her attention addiction.
Dang! She didn't feel "raped!" by being asked to leave? tsktsk... the left is definitely losing their hold. If she had used the "R" word, she'd gotten a serious revolution going among her shared-cranium fellowers.
How long before she accuses Feinstein of being party to the police abuse?

Cindy, in her own words.
The DailyKos nutjobs are going off on this one.
I heard on the radio that she's looking at a year in jail. My bet is that the PD will need to be proactive and fully pursue criminal charges in order to put themselves in the best position for her promised civil suit. I don't think Mamma Moonbat is going to like how this plays out...
Good thing it wasn't ME who was moving her out. MEOW.
