CARACAS, Venezuela - Cindy Sheehan, the peace activist who set up camp near
President Bush's Texas ranch last summer, said Saturday she is considering running against Sen. Dianne Feinstein to protest what she called the California lawmaker's support for the war in
Iraq.


"She voted for the war. She continues to vote for the funding. She won't call for an immediate withdrawal of the troops," Sheehan told The Associated Press in an interview while attending the World Social Forum in Venezuela along with thousands of other anti-war and anti-globalization activists.

1. Been debunked, was a 1-off comment

one of those "filibuster or I'll take your seat in congress" sort of things. Discussed earlier several times today on DU. Ignore the yahoo news.

2. Well

I did look for a thread on it. I don't 'ignore' any news, I read them all. Some I believe and some I don't. Sorry if I wasted your time.

3. Please excuse me.

I was short with you, excuse me. There have been several of these on DU today and, while most have been positive, there are those negative people and I just didn't want this to turn into more of the same. Waste me time away, and if people want to, you have my (queen of the universe) permission to respond (that last was a joke, by the way). sorry if I offended you as this was not my purpose. Peace and rah for Cindy.

4. It's ok, really..

I understand where you're coming from. I was taken a little aback but I appreciate your explanation and apology, they are much appreciated.

I hope your evening is a good one.
