Attacking the Creator

Cindy Sheehan shouts down a Democratic press conference.

WASHINGTON — Iraq war protesters broke up a press conference by House Democrats on Wednesday with chants to bring American troops home from Iraq.

Chanting "de-escalate, investigate, troops home now," the protesters disrupted a briefing aimed at outlining priority goals when Democrats take over the House and Senate on Thursday.

Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war activist and mother of a soldier who died in Iraq, led the group to Capitol Hill to warn Democrats that party activists expect them to end the war in Iraq and confront the White House on a change in Iraq strategy.

The Democrats encouraged Sheehan when she was bothering the president, and now they're paying the price for it. Sheehan's major tactic is basically rude, confrontational behavior. Instead of criticizing her methods, Pelosi met with her to gain favor with the anti-war left.

After this stunt, I wonder if Sheehan will still have 'absolute moral authority' in the eyes of the media?
