Sheehan Arrested At State Of Union Address

She was invited by a Democratic Congressman, but arrested for wearing an anti-war tee shirt. No dissidents allowed !

To be fair, the daughter of the Defense Committe Chairman (or someone like that...sorry for being so imprecise, but I've only had 5 hours of sleep in the past 48) was also ejected because she was wearing a shirt that said "Support the Troops". It isn't dissent that isn't allowed there, it was t-shirts or posters of any kind that expressed any political opinion.

In this case, I think it was a rule applied fairly.

And no, I don't like Mr. Dubya. Never did, never will, never have voted for him. The twit.

And she wasn't arrested either. I think Sheehan was arrested, and then the charges were dropped. Interestingly, Sheehan was not allowed to be there but the media is reported that a Bin Laden sympathizer was allowed to be there. That Congressman's wife was asked to leave only because they didn't want Bush to look as if he was afraid of Sheehan, and to make it look like he is fair.
