A few days ago Cindy Sheehan came through Charlotte, NC on her pathetic, nonsensical, purposeless trek from Texas to Washington, DC. She was suppose to speak to a rally of left wing, anti-war protestors here in Bryant Park in downtown Charlotte. What happened was quite comical.
First, the turn out of anti-war protestors was pathetic. In fact, they were out numbered 3 to 1 by a very loud and very vocal group of pro-Bush, pro-Iraq, anti-Sheehan people. When Sheehan arrived she surveyed the situation, did not see any cameras from the national press, noticed that there were nearly no anti-war protestors there to support her tired diatribe and in fact they were out numbered by Iraq war supporters and she refused to get out of her car.
The second comical thing about this ridiculous event was the excuse she gave to a local reporter about why she would not get out of her car. She claimed that all those pro-Iraq supporters scared her and that they seemed "violent" to her and therefore she would not disembark the car and speak to her loyal loony supporters as promised.
Now here is the most hilarious part. This liberal loony crowd that we have here in Charlotte bought this truly lame excuse and have been bashing the pro-Iraq supporters daily with full assistance from in the Charlotte Observer. Of course any of you who have had the misfortune to actually read the Charlotte Observer know that it is a far left liberal Democrat rag, exceeded only in its liberalism here in the South by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. But I digress. The Observer has published letters to the editor that basically say that the pro-Iraq supporters should have been denied their First Amendment rights to free speech and been forced to leave the park by local police so that poor little frightened Sheehan could have felt safe to exit her car and exercise her right to free speech and confirm for us all one more time what an idiot she is.
The point that there were no cameras around that would get her on the national evening news and that there were not enough anti-war protestors present to get up a good flag football game and that all Sheehan is interested in is publicity has been completely ignored by this liberal bunch of whiners here in Charlotte. They failed to provide her with a photo op she was seeking so she didn't even get our of her car. It was a drive by snooting!
The real thing to take away from this comical event is that the liberal elite think that the First Amendment of the Constitution applies only to them. Anytime anyone disagrees with any point of their far left liberal agenda we are labeled as "bigots", "intolerant", "ignorant" and now people chanting their opposition to an idiot like Sheehan we are referred to in the Charlotte Observer as "violent". Here is a new point of reference for them. Violence is a religious lunatic blowing himself up along with dozens of innocent bystanders in the name of a false god. Violence is flying three jet-liners into the ground and killing thousands of Americans.
Cindy - go home, sit down and shut up. You've had your day in the sun. Ok, everyone all together now. Let's spread some violence now - CINDY GO HOME! CINDY GO HOME! CINDY GO HOME!
