"Non-violent civil disobedience day" ....it's a point they are trying to make..

It's going on all over the country today. People are sick of not getting their message across.

If bush had a braincell he would come talk to the woman and at least let the people know he cares..

but he had a cop pull the old lady off the front of his house..some leader.

As the article states and has already been posted in this thread:

Police warned them three times that they were breaking the law by failing to move along, then began making arrests.

It helps when you actually read the facts behind the story to know what's going on.

Sheehan obviously was trying to get arrested. Maybe she's still peeved that Rita was stealing her thunder?

its called direct action and people are doing it all over the country...

bush is hiding coward and can't even face "his" people.

his home is surrounded by people who want answers wherever he goes...

why hide? he can't talk to anyone unless it's handpicked fluffers.

a failure of a leader as everything else in life that was not handed to him on his silver spoon.

He is the President, not a slave owner. Why should Bush address Sheehan and her small entourage? Oh wait, he already did back when her son was killed. Funny how people forget about that, including Sheehan.

Actually, it was a relatively small gathering. And, even thought most Americas are tired of the war, most still support the cause and believe that pulling out is the wrong choice. Hence why no one gives a sh!t about Sheehan. Hell, even Hillary Clinton told her off. Nice try.

It makes no difference to these people what Bush states. They do not want to listen to what he states and are looking for publicity.

They are being polar. "Their way or it is the wrong way."
Had Bush talked to them, they would have just repeated the same line as before and attempted to spin his words for publicity.

They do not have any constructive solutions, just destructive complaints.

w/ respect to the protest; they knew the rules; they were probably instructed what to do in advance on what actions to impliment; the police instructed them that they were breaking the law prior to the arrests;

They were probably hoping for a violent confrontation and are pissed that it did not happen.

Wasington DC got owned while bush cowered...pro war wingnuts (all 100-400 of them lol) cowered into a small angry mob of frat boys exactly how it is in real life...a few loud blowhards but the actual americans care.

The Big House houses more people on a given Saturday to watch a football game than showed up at this "huge" rally that took weeks to coordinate.

Next?

When you take conjur to task for pulling that crap initially, which he does frequently in this forum, you might have a leg to stand on as well as some fvcking backbone to display. But since you're one of his butt patters and enablers, much like the rest of the one-eyed and halfway blindered lefty crew in here, your comment doesn't mean squat.

CNN

Sheehan was among several hundred demonstrators who marched around the White House on Monday and then stopped in front and began singing and chanting "Stop the war now!" Organizers had said some planned to be arrested.

The protest following a massive demonstration Saturday on the National Mall that drew a crowd of 100,000 or more, the largest such gathering in the capital since the war began in March 2003.

Throught I would point out these fairly important details from the story.

And this shows how little you know of what the people are doing to get the message across that you are holding your ears to.

Sorry your being left out, but it's your choice to get left behind and hate filled.

I know making it out to be bush gripers makes it easier to stereotype to drown out logic...

But people are getting fed up with the same lies on tv...go outside and talk to real people.


The winds of change are coming and there is a lot of accountability to come home for bush..

See how TrollsLikeChicken loses perspective? He thinks it's ok for HIM to generalize horribly but nobody else can.

Well, simple math shows that 100k is approximately 0.0338% of the population of the United States, or 0.0451% of the voting population. So, unless you have some real facts out there, I'd say you lose.
