The Police have said it was a misunderstanding, based on the fact that "protests" are not allowed there. The Officers on duty took the T-Shirts as constituting a protest.
It is worthy of note that Mrs Sheehan was wearing a black zipper, closed, over the T-Shirt when she was being led to he seat. One suspects she didn't think she would be allowed in wearing the T-Shirt.

3. Due to the outrage of the congressman's wife and congressman, there was an apology and the Sheehan charges had to be dropped.
4. If "proper attire" is to be worn, then that would mean a blank t-shirt would be improper yet....it isn't.
I'm curious. Did anyone actually watch the State Of The Union address?
I think was watching Supernatural (the Prez never takes over The WB). The President never says the state of the union is weak. To me it's a huge snorefest.
Ah.
And the tuna?

It is possible that she thought as you suggest, however it is also possible that DC is cold this time of year. I tend to wait until I am at my seat before I take my coat off when I go to theatres on cold nights.
it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

Indeed, two possible interpretations. She wore it open on the way out, I suspect you put your coat on before leaving the theatre, what with it being later and probably colder.It is possible that she thought as you suggest, however it is also possible that DC is cold this time of year.

I may put it on before i leave, but wouldnt button up until i reached the door.
deliberatly leaving it unzipped after being ejected is a different matter though

Use Logic Or STFU!!!
They gave her more exposure by kicking her out.
Silly bitch, your weapons cannot harm me. Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, Bitchhhh!

Part of the plan, perhaps.They gave her more exposure by kicking her out.

Just so.Part of the plan, perhaps.
As long as they're not required to mike her, the media still give her a look.
Funny they won't do the same for a soldier's mother if she's proud of her son or daughter notwithstanding their sacrifice.
Cindy Sheehan's brand of moral authority is more camera-friendly.

Whilst I have every sympathy for her loss, there can be nothing worse than outliving your child, he joined the armed forces.

True since she isn't alone.Just so.

One can be proud of their son fighting in our armed forces but can also be disappointed (to say the least) in what they actually fought and died for.
This is evident regardless of the fact that their son joined the armed forces willingly.
I'd be pissed to if I had a son die in Iraq versus say fighting an incursion into the US.
Tbh, I guess the congressman's wife's t-shirt was offensive.....
"Support Our Troops Defending Our Freedom"
I'd like to know what brainwashed fools actually believe that (besides the congressman's wife).
What a piece of trash of a t-shirt.
