Who thinks Cindy Sheehan will become a political prisoner?

Randy said that they could deny bond and bail when she gets herself arrested.

G-d be with Cindy Sheehan and keep her safe.

...the national outrage?!?!?

Something is bound to happen that will tip the scales. And making Cindy a prisoner...Not even the Bush Administration is that stupid.

She has nuisance value right now. Chimpie doesn't want to make it anything else.

it's counter productive.

She's doing him a lot of good right now, anyway.

As long as she's attacking Democrats, he doesn't have to.

The idea that Cindy is the new Rosa Parks or Nelson Mandela is absurd.

She's a grief-stricken mother who has done a good job of shedding light on the human side of the debacle in Iraq. But she really is just not that important in the overall scheme of things.

She has, of late, lost a great deal of support because of her attacks on Democrats.

I'm ready

:popcorn:

It's those of you who love enabling war, torture, a criminal government, and perpetual lies and who never supported her that have their noses out of joint.

Please. Stop with the Cindy attacks. If you don't like what she's doing, ignore her.

Cindy may be correct in her opinions of Hillary, but as the Fitzgerald investigation shows, Cindy ought to concentrate on the MAJOR PERPETRA-I-TORS, ALL of whom are in the REPUBLICAN Party.

But then, I'm actually a Democrat.

LOL

imagine a nuanced position, i.e., hating the war, fighting the Bush Administration, but not fanatical about Cindy.

I do not attack Cindy.

My real position on Cindy is one big yawn.

Hmm?

is giving her great advice. Buy that girl an Amberbock.

Not their best move. No, they will get her another way. Say a prayer for her.

Cindy was quoted recently as saying that when she goes before the judge for her recent charges she is going to say:

If you believe in what you are doing, give me your stiffest sentence. If you don't, then resign."

Just talked to Cindy on the phone about an hour ago,she was getting ready to do an interview.She sent me an email at 3 a.m. that she had just gotten out of jail and was planning on going back again tonight and getting arrested again and was told last night that because she had already been arrested that next time she would spend time in jail which she is prepared to do.
The protestors are going to go lay on the lawn at the white house again tonight,she said it was very cold last night so maybe it wont be so bad tonight.
I told her that people all over the country held vigils last night and she was so happy about that.
I will keep DU updated when I hear from her.

Do you know how many other protesters are there with her?

There were at least 100 when they started but a lot of them left so about 26 got arrested

of a political prisoner.

Nobody disputes that her actions warrant being arrested. Heck she's counting on it and planning for it.

A political prisoner is when you are arrested for nothing, held without trial (or valid trial) to keep you quiet.

Sheehans arrests are essentially the opposite (shes getting arrested to make a scene, not to keep it quiet)

heard her on Randi - not agreeing to Randi's sound advice.

Timing is everything - where are all her advisors from Camp Crawford? They disappeared once the cameras went elsewhere.

Cindy is thinking about following Randi's advice as she was told it they lock her up again she might be held to january due to previous arrests.
I am sure Cindy will weigh her choices wisely!!!

Cindy doesn't need any "advisors." And people who sincerely hate this war aren't protesting for the cameras. Everyone knows the corporate media is complicit in enabling Junior in his foibles.

The protests are to show Congress and the rest of the enablers that the gig is up. We're not taking the bullshit anymore.

I know several individuals going to Crawford for the Thanksgiving protest where Cindy invited Laura to bring the turkey.

BTW, AP did a story on Cindy's arrest yesterday and "MSM" all follow AP. You should find the tone to your liking.

for the Bush's to take that kind of chance.
