Sheehan, SOTU, Clinton times

On a thread discussing Sheehan's arrest, freeper tries the "they all do it" argument. Of course, he only highlights the differences:

25. Clinton did the same thing.
In the early days of the Senate's impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton in January 1999, a Pennsylvania man named Dave Delp was removed by the Capitol police from the Senate gallery for wearing a t-shirt that said, "Clinton doesn't inhale, he sucks."
A Pennsylvania school teacher was yanked out of a VIP Senate gallery and briefly detained last week during the impeachment trial for wearing a T-shirt with graphic language dissing President Clinton.
Dave Delp, 42, of Carlisle, Pa., and a friend had just settled into their seats when four Capitol security guards approached them. Delp said at the time that he was ordered to button his coat and follow the guards. Outside the chamber, he was told "several people felt threatened by your shirt."
Even after establishing that Delp was a guest of Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), the guards wouldn't let him back in and escorted him to a basement security area, where they questioned and photographed him.

30. Yes, but he wasn't arrested for "disorderly conduct"
That's the term for "protestor", a crime in the Constitution-free zone that has become anywhere Dubya happens to be.

32. Ummm, where does it say the man was arrested and charged?
Cindy was arrested and charged, quite different wouldn't you say?

33. Why don't you stick with the present
and stick with the party. I'm sure the freepers will find this ammo without your help.
Cindy Rocks!
Delp was an assclown.
Glad I could help!

34. Nice try. VIP, important issue, Santorum, no arrest - good parallel.
Thanks for bringing it up. It dramatizes more your guys' hypocrisy....Also, I don't remember the newspapers howling: "Republicans badly damaged by Delp's display"
But hey, we have our heroes, you have yours. We have our messages, you have yours. Always good to keep perspective.

A google search reveals this a freeper fabrication - which Drudge is now also spreading. No source in the past.
