I finally remembered who Cindy Sheehan reminds me of:

[Redstone]

That guy in Tiananmen Square who stood in front of the tank.

You remember the picture.

1. A big part of me hopes she fares better than this guy.

Although, if she fares just as poorly, we might see some changes in this country.

[lectrobyte]

7. Poorly? From what I recall, he stopped the tanks a good bit, then melted

back into the crowd. That image moved the world.

[jobycom]

10. One of the great images of modern times. I think you are right

he wasn't caught, he just ran off.

[tk2kewl]

13. it really did. that was an amazing moment

[rkc3]

15. I gotta quit smoking crack - I always thought they smashed him up.

[lectrobyte]

19. Don't sweat the small stuff. Even if he had been shot or whatever,

it's still one of the most amazing things ever. One guy, standing up to tanks. In China. Where they'd shoot you in the head and send your mom a bill for the bullet. I just realized I dont know anything at all about courage.

11. Since all the 'most powerful people in the world' are using helicopters

in order to avoid Cindy Sheehan, I'd say she's doin pretty well ;)

2. I'll never forget it.

[wicket]

3. That picture still gets me all choked up

Powerful stuff.

4. The whole situation is like Tiananmen Square

[Wetzelbill]

5. yeah, I think she is that poignant....

What she's doing is important. One of the most important protests ever.

[soleft]

6. I sent her the picture

[Redstone]

12. I bet she'll feel flattered to be compared with that guy.

I hope it makes her feel good. She's got some guts, that's for damn sure.

8. That'd make a great editorial cartoon - Cindy v RW Noise Machine as tank

.

[Redstone]

9. THAT is a truly great idea! Is there a DUer with drawing talent

who can do it?


Redstone

[LaurenG]

14. Cleofus1 could do it

I mean he has the talent to do it. I'm not saying he will but he might.

:shrug:

[Redstone]

16. Do you know him? Want to ask him?

I just put this appeal up in a new thread. I think blm's idea is nothing short of brilliant.

Redstone

[LaurenG]

17. Ok I will ask him nt

[Redstone]

18. Thanks. My other post about this is here:
