The Photo-Op: Cindy Sheehan Is Arrested
Because every cause needs a martyr.
AP reports: “Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son’s death in Iraq to spur the anti-war movement, was arrested Monday while protesting outside the White House.”
(Hattip: Amicus Curiae, who quips: “She’s so extreme that she’s marching herself out of relevance.”)
“Sheehan and several dozen other protesters sat down on the sidewalk after marching along the pedestrian walkway on Pennsylvania Avenue. Police warned them three times that they were breaking the law by failing to move along, then began making arrests.
Sheehan, 48, was the first taken into custody. She stood up and was led to a police vehicle while protesters chanted, “The whole world is watching.”
And Cindy loves all the attention.
UPDATE: Al Jazeera is watching. Mission accomplished.

Ace says, “Look at the old gal, she’s positively glowing.”

“[T]he only problem with this scenario is that Cindy would have to find a jury of her “peers”. Unfortunately for her, that definition means that people that have half-a-brain would be disqualified. Perhaps the Kos crowd could take a day off (the 2% that actually work) and come in for jury duty?”

Peace Loving Vandals
Michelle Malkin has a wonderful posting about Cindy Sheehan’s anti-war protest in Washington, DC this weekend. Her post shows what the vandals did to private businesses and even photos of the Sheehan arrest. These so-called peace lovers went to DC…

This woman lost it. She is insane and crazy. She looks like she is no longer mourning the lost of her son, she let the left winger take over her son’s sacrifice and enjoying it. Casey Sheehan you are a hero, God Bless You…You will be in my prayers everyday.

[...] It is not a far stretch to suggest that liberal activism and Sheehan’s showboating may have had some influence on shaping al Qaeda’s defensive policy. While not directly complicit with terrorist ambitions, the “peace protesters” assist our enemies by creating political unrest in the U.S., dividing the public, generating negative press worldwide, and thereby undermine American foreign policy.
