re: Where is the outrage!

Simmering. I think people are about to actually object.


Damn! Why does it take Americans so long to get pissed?

Huh? I thought she was done?

Sheehan's visit inflames passions

By Andre Coe

Former Marine Sgt. Philip Mitchell saw something Thursday he wishes he hadn't seen.

A group of about 30 protesters gathered that evening in Old Cloverdale across the street from the Capri Theatre in support of a rally led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan.


"Why (come to) Alabama? It's the reddest of the red states," Sheehan said. "We can't stay in the blue states always preaching to the choir. We can't do that. ... We need to come where we can make the biggest impact."

Sheehan began her 17-city "Summer of Love '07" tour in Crawford, Texas, on Tuesday and chose Montgomery as its fourth stop en route to a planned July 29 conclusion in New York's Central Park.

Mitchell looked on from a distance with his arms folded. He served in the Marine Corps from 2000 to 2004.

Sheehan is making a mockery of men and women like him who served, he said.

"If I died over there and my mother did this, I would roll over in my grave," Mitchell said. "But I understand, everybody has the right to protest. This is America. That's what we fight for."

During her speech, Sheehan called for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Bush lied America's way into the war in Iraq and botched relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina, she said. Plus, he has been spying on the American public, she accused.

"If Congress isn't for impeaching George Bush, they are spineless," she said.
