Get off my property

Those quotes tell us nothing about Lincoln's attitude toward mothers of dead Union soldiers, do they? They show that Lincoln had little time for people who openly sided with the enemy. No purprise there, I'm afraid.

Lincoln would have had little time for Mrs. Sheehan - other then to feel sorry for the loss of her child. Which is exactly what the Suspending of Writ of Habeas Corpus shows. Linclon had the measure signed to squash any protesting of his action that he or his generals deemed necessary. There is a big difference from getting the President to have emptahy and sympothy for the loss of your loved one - and using the loss of your love one to protest. By all accounts of the Civil War - Mrs Sheehan would of been arrested with the Writ of Habeas Corpus having been signed by Lincoln - either at his direction or most likely under the direction of one of the Military officers under his command.

I can reference many instances were civilians were arrested for protesting the war which is one of the reason for the suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus

In fact, what you are suggesting here is that Mrs Sheehan is siding with Saddam or Al-Zarqawi, which to me seems to be even further from the truth than anything else you wrote about her.

That is not what I have stated - I what I have said is her use of professional handlers show that she is pursueing an agenda beyond just getting answers about why her son died from the President. BTW here is what I initially stated about Mrs. Sheehan

And in that they are wrong. If you think this woman is doing it for a noble cause - well that is fine, But, when an individual has professional handlers well it shows something about her agenda

You are assuming facts not in evidence in the discussion. I question her motives not her loyalties.
