Cindy Sheehan Booed At The Rose Bowl Parade
Now that Cindy has turned on the Democrats, she’s not exactly a favorite of the liberals. And the liberals in Pasadena certainly made that much evident with the reception they gave Cindy’s entry in the Rose Bowl Parade.
Twenty-three people were arrested by Tuesday afternoon, including one protester, Pasadena Police Department Lt. Keith Jones said. Jones said the protester was “arrested for holding up a sign that blocked other patrons view of the parade.”
Dozens of anti-war protesters led by “Peace Mom” Cindy Sheehan staked out spots across from television cameras, hoisting signs reading “Impeachment is Patriotic.”
After the procession’s last float inched out to start along the parade’s 5 1/2-mile route, a group of more than 100 anti-war protesters marched behind it, including Sheehan. Parade watchers sitting in the grandstand booed and yelled at the protesters.
“This is not the occasion for this,” Mary Feichtel, 63, of Florida, said of the protests.
Sheehan spoke later to a gathering of protesters at Pasadena City Hall.
It’s worth noting that Cindy was never much more than a useful idiot for mainstream Democrats (and their mouthpieces in the media). When she was busy harping on President Bush they were quick to paint a picture of her as a grieving mother and citizen who had absolute moral authority on the war and wanted answers from her President. But now that Cindy has turned her criticism on the Democrats themselves, they’ve been quick to turn on her.
It’s the cynical truth. When things were bleak in Iraq, and the Democrats were campaigning on the war as a failure, they were quick to latch on to her rhetoric about a criminal President and his murderous policies. But now with things in Iraq looking brighter, and the Dems even looking to distance themselves from the issue, she might as well be the plague.
