Mother Sheehan’s Moment
The Political Teen has video of Mother Sheehan at the overblown, underattended “anti-war” rally in DC. A revealing moment comes when Sheehan has an uncharacteristic, relatively clear thought:
Mama: We have to show the world that Americans don’t torture and it’s not OK for anybody to torture another human being.
Audience: [Huge applause.]
Mama: Americans don’t invade countries and occupy countries preemptively that are no threat to our country.
Audience: [Huge applause.]
Mama: And it’s not OK for other countries to do that either.
Audience: [One whistle, half-hearted golf claps.]
