From this first hand account I learned that someone ran over the crosses Cindy Sheehan set up outside Bush's vacation spot. The thing that strikes me about this is the view from the press. I am 100% positive that had this been a protest from the right-wing the press would have repeated the outrage from them about desecrating a memorial to fallen soldiers, and repeated it, and repeated it....
However our <cough> liberal press has these headlines:
A Bad Week For Protesting Mom - CBS
Peace Mom's husband files for divorce - Chicago Tribune
CINDY SHEEHAN'S AGENDA - Yahoo News
The crosses being run over have barely been mentioned so far. We are talking about crosses here... the Christian symbol of Jesus Christ's sacrifice for our sins... the very heart of Christianity, the most dominant religion in our country and the one that our President loves to mention over and over again. Mention that the ten commandments have no place in a court of law and the press is all-the-fuck over that one - run over crosses that a liberal-leaning person places and who gives a shit - her husband wants a divorce!!
Lame.
