Can someone please explain to me

When Cindy Sheehan claimed that she spoke for ‘all mothers who have kids in Iraq’ or even ‘All mothers who have had children killed in Iraq’ or even ‘All mothers who are opposed to the war’?

Why is the right so threatened by this woman that they need to demonize her so, and organize a ‘You don’t speak for me Cindy’ tour? Couldn’t they just as easily have held a ‘I have a son in Iraq and I support the war’ tour? Or is it too many syllables?

Also, why is it so hard for the right to grasp the truth that supporting the troops and supporting the war are not the same thing, at all.

Isn’t what Cindy is doing supposed to be the best of what America is about? You’re free to peacefully protest against things you don’t agree with? I don’t agree with much of what the woman is saying, but she is free to say it.

And, if a bunch of pro-war people want to camp out, I’m fine with that too (though I'm dubious as to the intent, as they didn’t feel the need until Cindy showed up).

And, if you want to strip naked in times Square to protest the fact that KFC doesn’t kiss the chickens on the head before they become the latest 10.99 bucket deal – you are free to do that.

And, if you want to spend all your time collecting signatures in order to deny gay people basic human rights…you should be arrested and beaten with the VHS version of the birdcage.
