Cheney Visits Harvard Club Through Back Door
200 protestors waited to greet vice-president near club entrance


Like that, he was gone.

Late yesterday afternoon, Vice President Dick Cheney's motorcade drove over the Massachusetts Turnpike and headed out of view, towards the windowless rear of Boston's Harvard Club. A half hour earlier, Governor W. Mitt Romney, in a black Ford Explorer, had also slid passed the protestors outside the club by using the same back door.

...

As Cheney spoke to GOP donors, all of whom had shelled out $2,500 to hear him speak, protestors stood a block away bemoaning the vice president's presence in the city.

The Boston Police Department, whose officers had arrived by motorcycle, bike, horse, and car, closed down the blocks surrounding the club for the entirety of the event.

"It's the equivalent of Hitler coming back to life and coming to Boston," said Nick Giannone of Quincy, Massachusetts. "This guy's a straight-up fascist. I also find it pretty appalling that someone would pay $2,500 to sit in a room with a war criminal."

...

The tension between attendees and protestors increased as the group of approximately 200 hundred gathered a block down from the crimson and white flowerbeds of the club's entrance. Protestors screamed, "Shame on you!" and "Murderers!" to those making their way to the fundraiser.

Most attendees ignored the taunts, although one woman did return the favor, instructing one particularly vocal protestor to "get a fucking job."

1. What's not to love about the good people of greater Boston!

It's the equivalent of Hitler coming back to life and coming to Boston," said Nick Giannone of Quincy, Massachusetts. "This guy's a straight-up fascist. I also find it pretty appalling that someone would pay $2,500 to sit in a room with a war criminal."

..."I am appalled that he can go around raising money now that the party and he, in particular, have demonstrated to be so morally bankrupt."
...Betty Tufankjian, an elderly resident of Scituate, Mass., was hustled across the street by one officer. She was with an old friend from high school.

"Yeah, we're trouble," Tufankjian said. She was there to protest Cheney because she thinks he is profiting from the war, she said. ....
Protestors screamed, "Shame on you!" and "Murderers!" to those making their way to the fundraiser.

10. "get a job"?

What is this now, the Sixties? Are all protesters automatically unemployed hippies? I mean, really!

9. Heh, a job like a career government welfare case

which Cheney is. How many years do you need to suckle the teat of our government before you are cut off?

How many trillions have the GOP minions sucked out of our pockets?
