Sheehans T-shirt was a protest?

In our world where everyone is preaching tolerance, it's good to know that some people are small enough to be downright petty. Cindy Sheehan wore a tshirt with an antiwar slogan on it. Something like "2242 dead.......How many more?". I wonder how they would have reacted if she had just worn a shirt with the number 2242 on it. I mean can they ban numbers? Numbers seem pretty harmless. There is some kind of law against protesting in the capitol building, but the press can gather around someones house that just lost a son or daughter and hound their parents for weeks on end. What's more harmful? Well both potentialy I guess, so why aren't the press arrested for harassing people? Don't give me that free speech crap. I had a friend who's son had drown in a pond in their front yard. For whatever reason the press found it interesting so they actually camped outside of their house for over a week. Noone could come or go without being harassed by the press. You can imagine the pain and stress a week like that causes, not to mention you as a family need that private time to grieve and morn the loss. I think it's criminal what happened to them. But all Cindy did was wear a T-shirt. I could understand if it had an incendiary slogan on it like "I hate niggers" or "Bush is an asshole". But it didn't. It could have caused a disruption I guess but if we werent so fuckin nitpicky and petty then she could have worn the shirt and noone would have ever known. But the press in all its freeness would have had to report it because it certainly was a matter of national security and the American public needs to know about the array of antiwar tshirts in Cindy Sheehans woredrobe. It's all crap. Now we have an entire week of anti Sheehan rhetoric comming on the right wing radio circuit. WHOOPIE!!!! I hope Hannity hears the news and gets so upset that he calls Rush Limpdick and they both have strokes right there on the phone. Not enough to kill them. Just enough to deaden that vortex that suffices for their mouth in the front of their faces. In a perfect world that would be the case but I am constantly being reminded at how just imperfect this world is.
