SS and Sheriff denying Cindy Sheehan water

The link is to the Crawford paper, the Iconoclast, which is being hammered. The notable quote is:

"Several people left to use the restroom and get water. They never returned. Anyone who went back to their car was forbidden to return. That meant no one could bring us food or water. After much discussion, we decided to return to the triangular parking area because there was more room and a little shade and supplies."

All they have to do is not let anybody in, meaning no water gets in, and it's over.

Or it moves to the Crawford Peace Park, I guess.

Actually, this means that Cindy has them by the short hairs - and they are desperate to get her off the stage.

God bless you, Cindy. And, God, damn the sniveling little coward to hell.

:grr:


Edit: the currency of this info is in question.



Edit: sorry I jumped too smart on this 'un. It is misleading according to this comment at Kos:

1. So now they're endangering the lives of the protesters?

There HAS to be something illegal here...besides the faux "national security" excuses.

[jobycom]

2. We could move the whole damn thing down to Austin. More people

more press, and more water!

[FreedomAngel82]

4. What would that do though?

[jobycom]

10. You'd lose location but gain numbers, which might get more exposure

ANd the message could stay the same.

[FreedomAngel82]

3. You're right

They're trying their best to get them to go home. All of this says a lot.

5. Does anyone know if any national media (tv) is there ?

Where is Diane Sawyer? Katie Couric? Paula Zahn? (just kidding)

[anarchy1999]

20. Aruba., maybe?

New Mexico, who knows for sure?

[Canuckistanian]

6. Bush to SS to Sheriff....

The shit's rolling downhill. At the end of the day, there may be several violations of the Bill of Rights.

For God's sake, people get down there and make a showing!

[mcctatas]

7. They refuse water to Cindy Sheehan....

yet Teri Schiavo rated a special session in congress, her own law and medical diagnosis by Dr. Frist.....somebody better alert the Fristians!!!:wtf:

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Right on!

[movonne]

8. What do you mean that the Iconoclast is getting hammered.???

[steve2470]

9. how is Cindy and company going to get water ???????? nt

[wli]

12. I guess there will be a s**tstorm when she dies.

[funkybutt]

13. These are the tactics they used on the Crawford Five

Please read about the Crawford Five

21. Down in Crawford where the Motherfuckers Grow.... lala lala lala lala

My Dad once beat his cousins ass for sing'n the Texas version of that little tune.

[tocqueville]

14. I don't understand why there are so few people there

according to what laws you can tell people to leave
or walk on roads or ditches ?

Why no legal counter-measures are taken ?

[daleo]

15. Bush better watch himself

Hunger strikes often do enormous damage to political leaders. Withholding water from a mother of a soldier killed in Iraq sounds like an insane move (politically speaking).

[Gay Green]

16. Bush had done it!

SS NOW equals schutzstaffel. :grr:

[MaggieSwanson]

17. Hold on...

This news might be outdated. Read the comments on the Daily Kos link in the original post. Hopefully the commenter is correct and this is history.


>snip<


That was the situation on Saturday when the group made their way past the first checkpoint. As they left one by one to get food, facilities and water, they were not allowed past the 1st checkpoint.

Since Saturday, EVERYONE is camping/hanging out on the triangle of land located BEFORE the first check point. Every person who has shown up to support Cindy has brought lots of water, gatorade, Dr. Pepper, and, bless their sweet baby hearts, two Veterans for Peace from Sonoma, California brought wine.

So, of course, we had COMMUNION! Off this topic, but on to what is needed: A first-aid kit. There was a banner-hanging incident this morning that I think required stitches.

18. false alarm, read post

No, this diary (see below) is outdated/wrong (none / 0)

and needs to be unrecommended. In its place, recommend Cindy's new Day 3 diary.

This news in the diary here is no longer operative, and was probably a temporary tactic of more than a day ago, as comments below explain. And none of this about water is mentioned in Cindy's new diary she just posted.

Instead she sounds determined and healthy, not weakened or parched. She's planning to tough this out until they walk her out in handcuffs, if it comes to that.

You'll need to recommend her diary, and unrecommend this one, since she made no mention of anyone keeping water from her group. She also wrote "come join us."

22. Wow.. the Shrub's hometown paper doesn't think much of him

does it. It's really wierd, the site is busy so it's slow loading, I see the banner first, the Texas flag, the "Cowboy" fonts,the picture of Texas, then, *poof* all this liberal shit appears underneath it. Love the "President Bush Ditches Mother Of Slain Soldier" headline :D
