This video of Cindy Sheehan and a pack of wild liberals at a press conference today proves that not all Democrats are actually insane. Like the caste system in India, there are gradations and sects. And there is a war brewing between the far left liberal loonies and the class of more respectable Democrats who actually work for a living.
So here is the Fox News video of a bunch of anti-American war-protesting nuts heckling a press conference given by their own party.
Break-up a Democrat News Conference
The full story is here.
Iraq war protesters broke up a press conference by House Democrats on Wednesday with chants to bring American troops home from Iraq.
Chanting “de-escalate, investigate, troops home now,” the protesters disrupted a briefing aimed at outlining priority goals when Democrats take over the House and Senate on Thursday.
Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war activist and mother of a soldier who died in Iraq, led the group to Capitol Hill to warn Democrats that party activists expect them to end the war in Iraq and confront the White House on a change in Iraq strategy.
“We didn’t put you in power to work with the people that have been murdering hundreds of thousands of people since they have been in power,” Sheehan said. “We put you in power to be opposition to them finally and we’re the ones who put them in power.”
Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., cut the press conference short when protests drowned out his voice through a dozen microphones set up to record his comments. Emanuel said Democrats would go back to the caucus room and return later.

Since when did advocating to bring the troops home become a “looney tune” idea? That is pretty mainstream, supported by vast numbers of Americans of all political stripes.

That is an urban myth. It depends on how you ask the question, as a little polling knowledge and experience would help you understand. If you ask “gee everyone, should the troops come home someday,” the correct and overwhelming answer is yes. If you ask, and the buffoon Sheehan demands, “should they all just come home right now,” the answer is correctly NO. And if you ask if anyone actually supports Cindy Sheehan, the overwhelming anser is she should leave the country immediately.
