Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan's was arrested at Tuesday night's State of the Union address after she refused to yield to warnings from Capitol Hill police to cover up an anti-war T-shirt she was wearing underneath her coat.

Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider told the Associated Press that Sheehan kept the anti-war slogan covered until she took her seat. When they noticed her politically charged attire, police warned Sheehan that such displays were not allowed.

The celebrated anti-war protester ignored the warnings, police said.

Police handcuffed Sheehan and escorted her from the gallery about 15 minutes before the president arrived.

I'm shocked. She wore an anti-war t-shirt. Gee. Now, when we tune in to the MSM to hear reaction to the speech, we're going to have to put up with volumes of drivel on how her right to free speech was violated.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

She's getting arrested on purpose for media attention. It's stupid, pathetic, and desperate. She wants to look like a righteous martyr who was arrested for "daring to stand up for what she believed in." It's all a phony, cliched image.

Funny thing is that no one will be talking about Kaine's non-response. The libs shoot themselves in the foot again.

Fine by me. Every time that idiot does something, hundreds of swing votes go Republican. I'm sending her a "you rock! keep it up" email.

I wouldn't have put it past her to stand up and start shouting out things. Glad they got rid of her!

The misdemeanor charge carries a sentence of up to one year in jail

I bet the old bag of hot air would enjoy herself in jail, if there were only a judge in D.C. who would sentence the b*tch.

Amen to that. And the minions at the MSM are spinning it into it's best light as we speak. I actually missed the part with Kaine when it occurred live. But wow.

Sorry to say it, but she got a lot of media play tonight, although she has been arrested numerous times over the course of her protesting.
