Sheehan stuff

Sheehan stuff

Another neat thing about Sheehan: the right knows they can't attack her and it really, really pisses them off. Leading them to do rhetorically stupid things:

The campsite has close to a thousand white crosses, each representing GIs who, like Sheehan's son Casey, were killed in Iraq.

While Sheehan has gotten a lot of support in her vigil, and has been joined by dozens of sympathizers, she's also sparked some opposition.

Monday night, a pickup truck tore through the rows of white crosses.


The "spitting on the troops" myth has haunted war opponents for 35 years - but how is this any different? (other than "it really happened.")
