Anti-America Tantrum

This is what the Left has deteriorated to. The equivalent of throwing themselves on the floor, screaming and kicking.

Liberals are making noise in Washington – left-wing activists will gather near the Capitol Tuesday night and bang pots and pans to drown out President Bush’s State of the Union address.

Banging pots and pans??!! When I first heard they were going to do this, I thought, nawwww, surely they aren't THAT lame. Wrong!

The group is called "World Can't Wait - Drive Out The Bush Regime" and look at its stellar list of supporters:

The group's Web site lists Gore Vidal as a member of its Advisory Board and has collected endorsements from left-leaning celebrities including Susan Sarandon, Jane Fonda, Harry Belafonte, Ed Asner and Sean Penn.

Couple this kind of thing with the absolute meltdown at blogs like Daily Kos and Democratic Underground, and you can see what kind of mess the Democrats are in. These are the people Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi listen to, because they contribute to the Democrats. They are also the reason that Democrats will not be the majority party again for a very long time.

JASmius adds: Well, you knew this one was inevitable:

"Peace mom" Cindy Sheehan is so angry that she wasn't allowed to disrupt last night's State of the Union address, that she intends to file a lawsuit claiming she was brutalized by Capitol Hill police who suppressed her first amendment freedoms.

"I have the bruises and muscle spasms to prove it," Sheehan said, in a message posted to several left-wing Web sites after she was arrested and then released on her own recognizance.

Sheehan also contends she suffered emotional trauma, complaining, "I am so upset and sore it is hard to think straight."

The Bush-bashing "Gold-Star" mom says she wants to take legal action, announcing: "I have some lawyers looking into filing a First Amendment lawsuit against the government for what happened tonight. I will file it. It is time to take our freedoms and our country back."

This is, of course, the backup gambit. Cindy was probably dumbfounded that she was actually going to get into the House chamber, which may be why she thought she could push her luck with the seditious banner she tried to unfurl. But if she didn't, she could always just whine and moan and bitch and generally play the victim card.

The key, though, is that she was removed before the SOTUA could begin, which removed any possibility of the video footage of the aforementioned disruption and the President's reaction to it. All she's left with is more of the same extremist gadflyism whose shelf life expired months ago.

Given that it is House rules that prohibit bringing banners into the House chamber, if Cindy has a problem with it, she can take it up with the House Republican leadership.

Either that, or she can become a registered lobbyist. If she doesn't get elected to the Senate, that is.

Boy, now the 'Pubbies really have incentive to de-Abramoff the place.

UPDATE: Here's another tantrum to add to Jen's list:

National Organization for Women president Kim Gandy was so angry on Tuesday after the Senate confirmed Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito that she began cursing during a radio interview.

"That is such bullshit!" Gandy exclaimed, after radio host Steve Malzberg argued that Alito was nowhere near as politically extreme as Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who once favored lowering the age of [sexual] consent for women to 12.

The staff at WOR Radio bleeped Gandy's swearword and Malzberg promptly warned her, "Hey, hey, hey - you can't say that on the air...I suggest that you control yourself - we're on the public airwaves."

Sounding surprised at the reprimand, the NOW chief responded: "Excuse me - that's a curseword?"

Kinda speaks for itself, doesn't it?
