"Blind faith in bad leaders is not patriotism." SLC Mayor Rocky Anderson
Edited on Sat Sep-02-06 11:30 AM by A HERETIC I AM
See and read Rocky's address in Washington Square in downtown SLC last Wednesday. Also on this webpage is a clip of him being interviewed on "Fox & Friends" where the female host, whose name is too unimportant to bear mentioning here, tries to take him to task for saying the president endorsed torture. She of course pulled the patented Faux/Hannity/O'Reilly ploy of talking over him, repeating her question while he was trying to answer it.

A .pdf file of his entire speech is here:

The video of same is here along with his Fox appearance and several other clips including Bill Maher's "New Rules" from Friday, KO's comments re; Rummy, Rummy's speech and Shrubbys speech. Scroll about 3/4 of the way down for Rocky's address, taped by the local CBS affiliate:

I am going to have to start paying more attention to this guy. He is articulate, bright and no pushover.

3. I LOVE that statement.....
and I want the bumper sticker. It's a non-partisan message likely to reach the maximum number of people, but still quite to the point. Good work, Mayor Anderson!

11. I hate E.D. Hill
When asked the other week about the Pakistani-Americans with American citizenship who weren't allowed back into the country without an FBI interview IN PAKISTAN both she and her little weatherman stooge Steve Ducey both agreed that they should be held up. Not even thinking that said people would be watched with an eagle's eye once they get here.

Somebody needs to slap that little hillbilly bitch in the mouth.

12. We've been reading his speech at our daily protest
because it lays everything out so well. Even for passers-by who only hear 30 seconds or so of the speech are getting a little bit of truth shoved in their faces.

Go Rocky!!!

:patriot:
