Did anyone see the protestors screaming at Rummy on CNN?

[Gin]

Females on the balcony screaming You're fired Rumsfeld...How many troops did you kill today? I was shocked...they were taken away by force but yelled a lot. Hung a banner saying Bloody Hands over the railing.

[Ilsa]

1. Where was this?

I haven't seen much tv today; don't know where any of the killers are.

[Gin]

2. The press club speech he was making...

it was shocking...these gals have guts.

[chimpymustgo]

4. Unbelievable. I hope they left information about their plans with

family or friends. We might not see them again.

MSNBC showing it again now!

[SimpleMan]

5. National Press Corps...

It is on CNN, MSNBC, FOX.

Two women had a bloody sheet hanging from the balcony that said something like "No Blood for Oil." And they kept repeating,"Hey, Rumsfeld, whadaya say? How many children have you killed today?" It was pretty cool, actually. Rumsfeld played it off by telling us how "free" Iraq is now that it has over 100 newspapers there...bla, bla, bla...

3. I'm watching the MSNBC Video

Not sure if you can see the screamers.

7. Of course, now the ditto head anchors are talking about how

calmly Rumsfeld handled it...freedom of speech...blah, blah blah...just a couple of wackos, handled with aplomb by the great Rummy.

[Richardo]

8. Freedom of speech is RIGHT, Rummy baby!

How's THAT for a First Amendment Zone, you POS?

(Pardon me, I've got something in my eye)

9. hugs and thank you to the two women

womanpower at work.

[Buns_of_Fire]

10. I'd like to know who the MANLY-MAN was

who shouted "Go Home!" from the expensive seats down front. Whatsamatter, son? Pissed because two women just showed more courage in fifteen seconds than YOU'VE managed to muster in the last three years?

[Gin]

11. that is the truth...more courage than I have too...wow..I am still

shocked....

[flamingyouth]

12. Thank you

Well said, my friend!

[maveric]

13. Wasnt that GREAT!!!

I was on the phone with my Ma while watching Rummy's speech and was shocked when I saw those brave women telling him that he's FIRED! I told Ma to turn to CNN and she did.
I beleive that we're going to see more and more of this. I hope so.

15. That was Great!

Best thing that has ever happened on a Rummey lie fest.

[BurtWorm]

16. Is that why he was crying?

[GR]

17. No But Heard Him Say 911 Was A Blessing....

That deranged SOB....Will watch for coverage...

[paulsbc]

19. put it in context

He said a leader of Jordan said that if 9/11 allowed us to wake up so that we could avert a worse disaster, then it would be a blessing. He was relaying the story of what the Jordanian leader said. I knew when he said it that I needed to come here immediately and see what people were going to say about it :)


As for the protestors, I thought they were great, but does everyone say that last nights' protestors in the debate were great? What makes one right and the other wrong, other than it being Rumsfeld on stage (is that all it takes to determine right/wrong for you?)

[disgruntella]

21. i searched for a link to a transcript

Because I too wanted to see the 9/11 quote in context. Couldn't find anything yet. I hope someone does post it here.

As for protestors at last night's debate vs. today's Rumsfeld "event" -- this *is* a partisan web site, you know! ;) I wouldn't be so shocked that folks here take sides and appreciate some disruptions more than others.

[NicoleM]

22. "What makes one right and the other wrong"

Nobody died because Lyndon LaRouche wasn't allowed at the debate last night. How many people have died as a direct result of Rummy's actions? That's the difference, IMO.

[GR]

23. Oh, So He Didn't Mean To Imply It Was A Blessing...

Get real...

I thought last night's debate was great...exciting and truth telling abounded...

Like father like, son, 4 years and DONE!

25. Your question made me think....I resemble some of it....

Protesting these madmen and their policies in any close proximity to them has been difficult to do...so when anyone does..I personally love it...don't know what that makes me...color me anyway you wish.

To those women who took that chance today....You go girls!

[indigo11153]

26. Right

These women are American heros. I have taken risks to protest and there is nothing harder than getting a message out through the RR media.
It takes planning and guts. I bet it took more planning to get into the press club than Rummy spent planning post-war Iraq!
These ladies are wonderful!

18. Rummy's hands are dripping with blood.............

20. Medea Benjamin has gotten Rumsfeld before BEFORE the war

in a Senate Hearing:





Anyone who doesn't know her name should look her up in google. She is OUTSTANDING. Her group has been to Iraq.
