When peace-lovin' Cindy Sheehan supporters attack

Last week one of Cindy Sheehan's bodyguards allegedly physically "attacked" a KGO cameraman who was walking in her fake field of crosses:

I asked Mark Matthews of KGO about the alleged assault, "I'm not happy about it. We're happy to abide by the rules when we know what the rules are. But there was no message communicated to us to stay out of the crosses. And last night, photographers, supporters of Cindy Sheehan, people praying, clapping and singing were here amongst the crosses. 13 hours later, it's off limits without any notification to us."

I asked one of Sheehan’s spokeswoman if she condoned Key's assault of the cameraman. She would not answer my question directly, instead saying, "I think if we all do our fair share, we'll work to keep everybody out of the way... That's all we need is to have people stay out of the crosses... I think that's all being worked out privately. I think the cameraman and the Iraq veteran was doing his best to honor the fallen will work it out."

Uh huh. There's more on that Iraq veteran, Jeff Key, here. He's a gay Marine who even did his own one-man show. And, he's quite the photographer too.

Now, just yesterday, a fight broke out at a Sheehan rally in Wichita. She wasn't there, but it looks like one of her supporters started it, although the video isn't that clear.
