Sheehan to protest at U.S. posts in Germany in March

Stars & Stripes ^ | 02/23/06 | Steve Mraz

[Coop]

We don't need that kind of talk around here.

[Beth528]

She is stuck on stupid!

[GingisK]

If she doesn't watch her manners very closely, she will discover that the Politzi are quick with the batton. (Just hoping)

[T.L.Sink]

My sentiments exactly!

[3D-JOY]

Thanks for the ping..."I THINK"!

Now I have to try to keep my breakfast down!

[antiRepublicrat]

Yet another reason I wish I were still over there. I'd definitely drive up to Landstuhl for a counter-demonstration.

She will not get a warm welcome.

I talked to some German demonstrators once in front of the US Army Europe headquarters, and found them extremely nice. They went out of their way to show no animosity towards me or strike up angry debate, and just continued their quiet vigil. That I can respect, Sheehan's shrill and offensive antics, not.

[Tzimisce]

Hm....

Think all the Muslim Extremists living in Germany will show up to help her protest?

[antiRepublicrat]

She has hit the mother lode with regard to getting leftists to fund her lifestyle.

She's probably also living off her dead son's life insurance.

[antiRepublicrat]

If Cindy traveled to the Middle East and was abducted would anyone care? not me.

"Okay troops, we found the location where the kidnappers are holding Mrs. Sheehan. Any volunteers to go rescue her?"

*crickets*

[antiRepublicrat]

Cindy always wanted a European vacation.

Coming soon, "National Disgrace's European Vacation"

Where's my Photoshop when I need it.

[antiRepublicrat]

If she doesn't watch her manners very closely, she will discover that the Politzi are quick with the batton. (Just hoping)

Yes they are, I've seen it. Within a second of resisting the Polizei a guy was on the ground having had a baton whacked upside his head. And the Polizei had the baton holstered to start with, it was one swift move from draw to WHACK!

Germans for the most part have no real concept of police brutality. When they see the Rodney King tape, their reaction is "He must have done something pretty bad to deserve that."

If Sheehan thinks the scuffles with her resisting the US police hurt, she's in for a serious wake up call as to the meaning of pain.

[Old Sarge]

Old Sarge will not be posting to this thread.

Sarge is currently applying self-administered percussive therapy, in the form of banging his head against the wall, as a result of reading this post.

Sarge will be present for duty, as soon as the meds kick in and the work order for repairing the wall is processed.

Thank You.

Isn't this sedition??

Or would you call it treason??

treason

n 1: a crime that undermines the offender's government [syn: high treason, lese majesty] 2: disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior [syn: subversiveness, traitorousness] 3: an act of deliberate betrayal [syn: treachery, betrayal, perfidy]

On second thought -- I think it qualifies as both. 

[ElectricStrawberry]

where Sheehan will be at a “camp,” paying tribute to those who have died in the Iraq war.

Riiiiiiiight. She's there to "pay tribute". The sooner she starts grieving, the sooner she'll be able to move forward with her life.

[PleaDeal]

I'm so sorry!!! I had nearly the same reaction when the link was sent to me.

[PleaDeal]

Thanks StarCMC - I agree it's both sedition and treason. Maybe she won't be allowed to re-enter the US.

[Centurion2000]

Who's paying this witch?? She just won't go away.

[PleaDeal]

I would pay some serious $$ to see the hag get a whack from the Polizei!

(I hope that statement didn't violate FR rules. If it did, I'm sorry)

[StarCMC]

It would be sweet, but I'd be shocked.
