Peace Activist Cindy Sheehan to Speak in Charlottesville on May 22nd

cindy sheehan charlottesville speechWe just got word via David Swanson and  confirmed by the Daily Progress that Cindy Sheehan will be speaking at the Omni Hotel on May 22nd from 7PM to 9PM.  Tickets will be available at the door and cost $10 for students; $20 for general admission; $50 for admission and a photo with Sheehan; and $100 for admission, a photo with Sheehan and priority seating.

Seriously, $100 for a photo?  I guess now that she’s trying to be an elected politician, she needs the money, but this seems a little odd.  Where is that money going? To her California campaign or to anti-war stuff.  I guess this time, the pro-war protesters won’t be present.  Or will they?

    haha. Probably more like “pro-stay-the-course” activists now, I guess.

    $100 for a puppet show is a bit pricey IMO.

    So much does B-yo loathe her that he’s loath to deploy vowels to the ends of his verbs.

    /needs a vowel movement.

    stanley, i’m attending a grammar and spelling symposium in wichita this summer, and i’d like you to accompany me and deliver a presentation on verb-ending vowel deployment.

    i have extra tickets if anybody else wants to tag along.

    So if no one else wants to come, you don’t have extra tickets? I’ve never encountered tickets with a conditional existence before.

    $100 for a photo with an anti-semite. Was Farrakhan not available?

    You guys are all gonna miss my good-natured grammar-based poop jokes when comments like #12 turn this whole thing into a flame war about the I/P conflict.

    try to be positive stanley. look at it as an opportunity to work your grammar joke magic in unlikely, inappropriate, and most likely, extremely offensive scenarios. fun for the whole family, really.

    So given that this blue star mom is running against Nancy Pelosi I can only wonder why this merits a post here at all. She has chosen to come to the most liberal place in Virginia to pick up a check.

    Is this thread an ad or just a chance to mock a misguided woman who lost a son in an unpopular/unjust war?

    Roboto, she actually paid us one million dollars in blood diamonds, believe it or not.

    Yes. Yes it is. Im resisting, but bring it, and we’ll see.

    @16 so she using you to launder her blood diamonds after you give her back $999,995 in change.
    Classy!

    every generation should have an unjust and ridiculous war predicated on deception and mass hysteria. it helps the economy, sort of.

    in 20 years it will be OUR children, in china! i cannot wait.

    This lady is ridiculous. I’m saw her last year on the mall and was mildly interested in what she had to say. She got on the bullhorn at 6pm on a Friday and let loose a profanity laced tirade about things. There were pro-war protesters there who did the same thing. Both sides did their very best to appeal to the people they already had and to disgust anyone who was undecided or had an opinion but wasn’t ready to kill for it. It lasted an hour then both sides went to neutral corners to celebrate their victory that day and everyone left. Both sides really did a lot to change policy and move public opinion.
