AP: Sheehan’s rally disrupts Rove reception
Chanting “Try Rove for treason,” Cindy Sheehan and more than 50 other war protesters disrupted a reception before President Bush’s top adviser Karl Rove spoke at a fundraiser Saturday.
One woman was arrested during a scuffle with police after Sheehan and the anti-war demonstrators rushed toward the closed doors and kept chanting loudly after the guests went into the dinner.
Rove was speaking to the Associated Republicans of Texas, and ticket prices started at $200. He was not in the Renaissance Hotel lobby during the reception.
Flap supposes it was boring in Crawford for Cindy Sheehan et. al. since the President left Texas last Sunday. But, Karl Rove?
“I want him arrested. He planned the war that killed my son,” Sheehan told officers guarding the door. Sheehan’s oldest son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004.
Police then ordered the group to leave, but some protesters had paid for rooms for the night. Those protesters went upstairs, including Sheehan.
Karl Rove is the President’s political advisor not a foreign policy staffer. Karl Rove has nothing to do with American Iraq War policy.
Anti-war protesters unveil a large banner protesting in the lobby where President Bush ‘s top advisor Karl Rove was speaking at an Associated Republicans of Texas dinner Saturday, Aug. 19, 2006, in Austin, Texas.
Earlier, wearing shorts and T-shirts while guests of the lobby reception walked past in sequined dresses and expensive suits, anti-war demonstrators carried American flags and signs, including one that read “Check your conscience.” A few protesters unfurled a large banner from a sixth-floor hotel balcony that read “Rove v. Truth: No Contest. Pink slip Rove.”
Those at the reception sipped their drinks and largely ignored the protesters before they started chanting. One man looked at the group and said, “Go Bush!”
Cindy Sheehan is such a MORON. She is protesting against a Bush Administrative official that has NOTHING to do with the foreign policy side of the White House.
But, Rove WAS close-by and in Texas.
Dede Miller, sister of anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan, is knocked to the ground after being caught in the middle of a scuffle with police as they arrested Tiffany Burns during a protest outside the doors of the ballroom where President Bush’s top advisor Karl Rove was speaking at an Associated Republicans of Texas dinner Saturday, Aug. 19, 2006, in Austin, Texas.

Cindy Sheehan is a disgrace to the state of Texas, The United States, and all Military Services. Perhaps most of all she has disgraced her son who VOLUNTEERED to honorably serve his country. I bet she enjoys the money the military gave her following the death of her son. I’m sure he would be extremely embarassed at her actions. It was his service and those of others that allow her the freedom to do what she is doing. I wonder if you will print this.
