You may remember that PYY brought you this story back in October, about Cindy Sheehan threatening to hound Sen. Clinton, if she did not adopt her "bring the troops home now" stance. Well, Hillary did not bow, did not waver, and now must pay the price, according to Mother Sheehan and her group of seditious malcontents. It appears that they are making good on their threat.
From the NY News:
WASHINGTON - Anti-war activists furious with Sen. Hillary Clinton are vowing to bird-dog her everywhere she goes, starting with a swanky Manhattan fund-raiser tonight.
Clinton's letter last week clarifying her position on Iraq - which included rejecting a timetable for withdrawal - fanned the anger of some war opponents, who decided to launch a campaign against New York's junior senator.
"We're calling it Bird-Dog Hillary," said Medea Benjamin of the peace group Codepink.
"I'm so mad at her," said Nancy Kricorian, Codepink's New York City coordinator. "We will dog her wherever she goes."
Both Benjamin and Kricorian are members of Code Pink, a group that has exploited Cindy Sheehan's story at every turn, since August. I must say it will be amusing to see the Clintons being protested and to see their reaction. They are not used to it.
But as you may guess, the MSM probably won't cover it or it will be buried next to the insignificant "filler" stories, that very few people read. Hopefully there will be a creative and industrious blogger that will get the scoop and some photos to go with it.

Please pray for Howard Dean and his allies. They are so blinded by their dogma and hatred. According to the Holy Spirit's message on The Christian Prophet blog, the U.S. has already achieved great spiritual victories in Iraq. We need a Democratic Party that is spiritually attuned and seeing clearly. Please pray.
YOU can pray for him if you want to, that is your business. I am not inclined to pray for people that love blindness. It wastes a perfectly good prayer on those that will not benefit from it.
LA, those are the ones that need it the most.
And as to your post... they are doing this because they are worried that if she wins any real traction, it will kill their movement, take away their glory, and thus their fund raising ability.
If the only Dem that can win is a hawk.... there are some problems.
Not to stick up to them but I think the Clintons are well versed in being protested.
It will be interesting. But won't Bill's selling his soul to get his wife elected by badmouthing Bush and the war while in Dubai help mitigate some of that?
