Default Codepink shows it's class again

The typical "Dissent is patriotic" routine...

Of course, caring about the rights of others is oblivious to them...

July 4th...Independance Day...The president himself is speaking to new citizens of the country at Monticello; the home of Thomas Jefferson......


Codepik rule - "I will trample on your right to free speech while I use my right to free speech."...

Oh yeah, no wonder I didn't remember.
Well that was an awful display. Someone needs to tell them the purpose is not to make people hate you so much they lose sight of your message.

I agree this was a most unpleasant display...but I had to laugh at Bush preaching "In the U.S. we have freedom of speech" as several armed guards are wrestling out one woman whose speech he didn't like. LOL

the motto of the left is exposing the hypocrisy of Bush?

I can live with that.

I guess he should've elaborated since you're not making the connection...

He's talking to people from other lands...and a damn good chance many came from "less than democratic" nations...Maybe it would've been more obvious to you had he said this...

In the U.S. we have freedom of speech...

These people are being removed for disturbing our free speech...But, unlike some of the places people involved in this very ceremony have lived, these people will not be thrown in jail for years on end with the accusation of being some sort of subversive, nor will they endure execution (nor will their family) as an example of the government's unwillingness to hear dissent.

It wan't about her being removed because she was saying something the President didn't like, it was about her being removed for disturbing the peace and trying trample on other people's rights. SHE was the one in the wrong 100%.

she was in the wrong

however, bush talking about freedom of speech WHILE this woman is descended upon by several armed guards is funny

you don't think it's funny? fine! I don't care.

I think it's funny.
