Emperor Bush hands over his ears!

My point if you choose to protest Bill Clinton
should you be made to walk in a ditch and
still get harassed by law enforcement, is this
what it has come down to preaching democracy for
Iraq but denying it at home?

Free speech ditch


The group stopped along the way and sheriff's deputies in McLennan County advised them that if they wanted to go farther toward the ranch, they would have to walk in a ditch along the road.

The marchers walked about half a mile until the deputies stopped them, saying that they had violated their instructions by walking on the road itself instead of staying in the adjacent ditch.

Sheehan protested, saying she had not walked on the road. The deputies refused to let her go farther.

No matter where you stand you could be a anti
abortion protester going to protest Bill Clinton
or you could be a protester against NAFTA and
Cafta and the outsourcing of American jobs..you
should not be told to walk in a ditch.

Rueters has a different angle but still protesters
were not allowed to walk on the road even if
by accident.

The group of protesters, including U.S. veterans from the Iraq and Vietnam wars, were loud yet peaceful and McLennan County sheriff's deputies, trying to avoid arrests, stopped them on a road about 5 miles (8 km) from Bush's ranch on a hot August day.

 

No matter where you stand ..to lose a son and then
told to walk in a ditch and not on the road.

Shmae on Crawford and Shame on Bush...in Jesus
name amen.

 

play by play being there

Oh the miracle of text msg Ken and how it
can take you there...no matter how you spin it
a mother who lost a son should not be told
to walk in a ditch...period!

1:10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6

Diebenow reporting:

We've got about 50-something people walking on the side of the road, in a ditch, all the way up the mile to the Bush ranch. At the first checkpoint, the police ordered them to not walk on the roadway, but in the medium-tall grass along the right side of the road where it is about 10 ft. wide in places, three feet deep in some places. They are kind of straddling the roadway.

There appears to be another checkpoint up ahead, with another car in the middle of the road.

Now two big white dogs are coming out to greet them along the fence. I don't know what kind of dogs they are, but they seem to be friendly. Some rancher's probably.

It's really hot, humid, with people sweating.

Wait. Call you back in a minute.

1:15 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6

Diebenow reporting:

We are at the second checkpoint and the sheriff's department has told the protesters to get off the road. They've been walking on the road, breaking their part of the bargain, the police say.

Some of Cindy's group are now sitting, waiting for Bush to come out. Now more are sitting down.

snippet:
Protestors are saying that one of their rationales for not getting off the road was that the media was on the road. A police officer said that the media was just following the protestors, but the media is still on the road, with cameras, booms, microphones.

Some protestors are still sitting, but more are now standing.


Police are now telling the media to get on the other side of the road and to not disrupt traffic.

Chanting is still going on (time 1:20).

More coming.



2:10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6

At the first checkpoint, Sheehan told Officer Vanek: "We don't have the quarrel with you. The quarrel we have is with the President."

At the second checkpoint, she said,"I didn't come all the way from California to stand here in a ditch."

An officer offered to send Bush a letter or a statement from Cindy Sheehan, but she said she didn't want to do that.

Her reply was that they were making the mother of a veteran of the Iraq war walk in a ditch.


An officer got in her face, stopping her.

The crowd starts chanting, "W. killed her son. W. killed her son."

Bush has not come out, none of those anti-protest protestors either.


Sorry Ken you can be there and trust the reporting
are you saying the AP lied or this person lied
and she was not shown the ditch...I will criticize
because it was wrong Ken...if you were to go
carry a sign and protest Nafta of Cafta or anything else and they told you to walk in a ditch
I would be outraged as well...I stand on what my
topic says

Bush the Emperor out of touch and deaf to the world...his impatience reaps impatience.


Bush must have a scripted event and a hand picked
audience because he cannot deal with people
disagreeing with him. Phoney!

No one is being leftist or anything it is about
a mother who lost a son in Iraq being shown the
ditch! That is my salient point hillclimber and
you know it..you just want to apologize for
bush again and again and again and again ..lets
keep enabling a dysfunctional child.
He is a gutless chicken hawk and he has a background to back that up...he has not even
attended one funeral but loves to yuk it up on the
ranch.


and Ken you lableing Cindy Sheehan as bitter is
your own opinion and not even hers ..you cannot
dimminish a person by labeling them bitter which
implies hate...a person can legitimately take
up a righteous cause as they see fit but I could
see people who oppose her would dimminish her by
calling her bitter...what if she is righteous in
her cause. That is your opinion of her Ken not
even close to hers. Wait a minute your opinion
of her is held from a distance and oh my ..you
have not even spoke to her personally...amazing!

and you know very well KenH that bush could meet
with her ..so shame on him...shame on his arrogance...he is out of touch.

THE SALIENT POINT AND I AM SHOUTING BECAUSE IT
IS EVERY AMERICANS RIGHT TO QUESTION POWER BY
PEACEFUL PROTEST AND TO BE TOLD TO WALK IN A
DITCH INSULTS OUR DEMOCRACY.imho

 

Again Old regular nothing to say accept attack
me...do you or don't you agree.. should she be
shown the ditch in a free democratic society.

yes or no

Because it effects even you ..if you were motivated to protest and were thwarted or insulted.
