Conservatives,

First you got to deal with this:

“WASHINGTON - Capitol Police DROPPED a charge of unlawful conduct against antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan on Wednesday and APOLOGIZED for ejecting her and a congressman’s wife from President Bush’s State of the Union address for wearing T-shirts with war messages.”

and then this:

“‘The officers made a good faith, but MISTAKEN effort to enforce an old unwritten interpretation of the prohibitions about demonstrating in the Capitol,’ Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer said in a statement late Wednesday.”

and finally and most importantly, this:

“‘NEITHER [Cindy Sheehan nor Beverly Young] SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONFRONTED about the expressive T-shirts,’ Gainer’s statement said.”

All quotes from MSNBC (February 1, 2006)

I know this might be hard for you to understand, conservatives, but wearing an expressive anti-Bush shirt to the SOTU does not comprise a “disruption,” NOR DOES IT VIOLATE THE LAW.
