what do you think of this lady?

If you don't see the difference between protesting a continued war and holding a Klan rally then you have some serious issues. I know both you guys do, and you're just using rhetoric to try to shoot down my argument.

All of you make it sound like protest is any easy act taken up by opportunists. What does Cindy Sheehan have to gain out of this? Why do you think she or anyone would take up such a protest under false pretenses? It takes a lot more balls to actually go out and protest, especially as one person, than it does to write crap on the internet.

Her protest has become larger than one woman's loss of her son. It's tapped deep into the growing anxiety of both the war and the inept execution of it by our leaders.

So, because her actions have potential results which you consider good - despite her questionable reasons - it is good?

No, I'm not using "rhetoric" to shoot down your argument; I'm using logic. Just because peaceful protest is protected by the Constitution doesn't mean that if someone does it, they should be applauded for it. Protesting a war because you think the war is wrong is good. Protesting the war solely because you lost someone in it is murky - I'm sure her son would not want her to do that.

So really, I'm not saying she's a bad person or anything. I'm just saying I don't know enough to proclaim that she's good, and that her statements lead me to question her reasons for protesting.
