Didn't You Retire?

Hey everybody! Guess who got arrested again? I'll give you a hint. She has made a career of dancing on the graves of heroes and has even extended her hand to an authoritarian dictator.

HILLARY GOT ARRESTED?

No but close enough.

Peace activist Cindy Sheehan who just wants to protest and retire, and protest and then retire, and then protest but claim to retire, only to come back and protest again, got arrested with three other people who probably don't have jobs yet seem to strike a comfortable enough income to organize their trips to protest. Yes Ms. Cindy "Farewell Tour 3000" Sheehan has more street cred than Kanye West.

According to "The Hill" Sheehan and three others were arrested near the hearing room where General David Patraeus and Ryan Crocker were testifying on the situation in Iraq. Apparently they were shouting at people in the hallway.

Details are also coming out that one of the protesters was injured. Ironically if you read right after that it says that the same "injured protester" is being charged with assault against a police officer. So you can kind of assume that the they were arrested for doing more than protesting.

But the media of course will not speculate any further on this. What you will see from Newsweek, or one of the other looneytoon magazines that are good for a hoot or two and nothing more, will be long soapbox style rants about the violation of freedom of speech and the right to protest. Polls will be done at liberal colleges and professional victims from around the world will flock to have their words put into the article of that magazine of how big bad America has violated their rights.

I'll just leave you to use your brain on this one. If this injured protester is being charged with assault on a police officer who do you think started the conflict?

Now I can careless what Newsweek has to say or what any of these other "progressive" sources or "idealistic" sources or "opinion neutral aka whatever stupid word we can come up with to substitute for the word liberal" sources have to say about the rights of free speech being violated. It is amazing to me how a group of people can have nearly complete control over basically the entire entertainment industry, cable news, print journalism, magazines, newspapers, the majority of blogs on the Internet, and still have the brass cahones to claim that their rights to free speech are being violated.

Because if you can have all that and still claim that your viewpoint is not getting out, I have a bridge that I can sell you.
