Protesters Interrupt Bush Holiday Speech
ABC's Matthew Jaffe reports:
Protesters today repeatedly interrupted President Bush's Fourth of July speech at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's residence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
No sooner had Bush started speaking at the naturalization ceremony welcoming new American citizens than protesters began shouting at him, calling him a "war criminal."
The President paused in his remarks and then responded, "To my fellow citizens, we believe in free speech in the United States of America."
One woman moved towards the stage before being stopped by security, but other protesters still made their voices heard.
Only minutes later, another protester shouted expletives at the President, while still another called Bush "a fascist".
By the time Bush finished his 10-minute remarks, at least nine protesters had been escorted out of the event by law enforcement.
Although Bush did not mention the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in his final Fourth of July speech as President, he did thank the troops, while paying tribute to the author of the Declaration of Independence, who died on this day in 1826.
"We honor Jefferson's legacy by aiding the rise of liberty in lands that do not know the blessings of freedom," Bush said. "And on this Fourth of July we pay tribute to the brave men and women who wear the uniform of the United States of America," prompting a standing ovation from the assembled crowd.
Bush congratulated the new citizens participating in the naturalization ceremony, more than 70 men and women from about 35 different countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Norway, and Burma.
"From this day forward the history of the United States will be part of your heritage, the Fourth of July will be part of your Independence Day, and I will be honored to call you a fellow American," said the President.
While in Charlottesville, Bush toured Monticello with Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, a Democrat. Early in the afternoon, Bush returned to the White House to celebrate Independence Day, a holiday which falls right at the start of his birthday weekend.
"Thomas Jefferson once said he'd rather celebrate the Fourth of July than his own birthday," said Bush, who turns 62 on Sunday. "To me it's pretty simple, the Fourth of July weekend is my birthday weekend."
Protesters also lined the President's motorcade route, chanting "Arrest Bush" as he drove to and from the Monticello ceremony.

interjections at Bush's Independence Day speech
Thank you to all who demonstrated and interjected today at Bush's Independence Day speech.

Bush's Speech!!
If you dont like the leader of this country then spend millions of dollars on a recall or suck that mess up. Nobody is begging you to stay in a country that you dont want to be in.
Let the soldiers to their darn job or do it for them bc if we arent fighting over there, we will be fighting over here!!
HINT TO ALL DUMB ASSES:::: The democratic congress could take the troops out 2mrw if they wanted to but they havent. OKAY!!
Oh good grief
You are the dumb ass. What the hell are you doing HERE?! Are you enjoying your little 4th of July games?
If we didn't want to be in this country we wouldn't be speaking out.
We want the soldiers to COME HOME instead of fighting in an illegal and immoral war. In case you hadn't noticed, some of them are coming home in coffins.
What a Moronic Troll!
Most stupid post I have ever seen!
What the hell are you doing here and who the hell sent for you?
This is not your "Hee-Haw" or your "Faux News" Adolescent Tabloid Trash.
How can I say this politely, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
Geeez!
Huh...
You libs sure do uphold the right to free speech... when it's yours.
Anyone who disagrees with you...
Well, you know, same ol' same ol'... personal attacks, hate and irrationality.
Not that I agree with the guy, but geez, every time I follow a link to a lib web site, all I see is haters and elitist "you don't belong here" crap.
Well, keep your happy (or hateful) group think going... Just know that many of us see through it...
Ought to look in a mirror or something.
It Is Very Right-Wing To Hide Behind Anonymity
It is typically right-wing for characters like you to hide behind a veil of anonymity. Your hero was for the first time confronted in a truly "free speech zone" right in front of his lying, fascist face. As usual he paid the cheapest amount of lip-service to constitutional rights of ALL Americans. I do not expect some one such as yourself to understand the concepts of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly as well as the responsibility of the President of the United States to be a leader of ALL of the American people and not just the now shrinking minority of partisan right-wing hard-asses,yourself included, who only see what is beneficial to themselves.
If you are so cock sure of what you are charging then tell us who you are. What is it you do for a living? What is your background in "supporting the troops"? You sound like a self-proclaimed patriot. Tell us what patriotic actions you have taken beyond purchasing one of those magnets to "proudly" display on the bumper of your vehicle. At least I hope you pay your taxes like the rest of us "sad-sack liberals" you denigrate withour evidence. Your rhetoric is cheap, just like that of your fearless leader, Shrub!
In case you were not informed, Bush has been appearing in front of selected audiences now for nearly his entire time in office. Hand picked supporters have given him all the "love" and "support" that the complicit media could record and play to the American people over and over again as if Bush was some sort of god-like figure. At Monticello, Bush and his people had no apparent control over who could get the tickets to the event. First come first served resulted in Bush being confronted by irate citizens who are quite sick and tired of his "schtick".
In summation, it is my advice to you that in the future you are quite free to participate in this discussion. I do not criticize your participation but I do despise your doing so in secret. Secrecy has headed this nation toward economic and moral ruin. People such as yourself hasten this process!
Dumb?
That post is the typical thinking of uneducated people. When you don't understand the concept of democracy you believe being patriotic is blindly following your leaders right off a cliff. Whoever made that post is IGNORANT, not necessarily dumb, but may well be both!
One other thought: Whoever it was probably watches a lot of FOX news!
Al k.
Hmmm
I see were using one of Bush and his ilk's favorite con's to allow there agenda..
"If you don't like America leave"...
The reason many are voicing there opinion,protesting America is because they LOVE AMERICA...
They want the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION put back to govern WE THE PEOPLE....
So this lame con"If you don't like America leave",,has to be debunked...
I hope somebody with clout and words can debunk this Bull..
I personally fell for this rich man propaganda,,while they continued to chip away at American's liberties that now has ripped the United States Constitution to shreds..
A Bit Fuzzy There Anonomous
Hmmm, let's see if I understand this correctly. If we truly love our country we should (a) silently stand by and and watch it's destruction or (b) promptly pack up and leave because we now suddenly hate it?
Now, unless we fight them there, they ("they" being an ideology that has no army, navy or air force)will expediently board a transatlantic flight and fight us over here? I suppose "they" follow some code of ethics that as long as we "fight them there" and supply them with fresh young troops to satisfy their blood lust, "they" will no longer plan harm on our borders? If we stay, within time they'll digress and change their evil ways after realizing that we're all really pretty good Joes over here after all? Perhaps they'll come to learn that invading their country and handing their oil over to Exxon, Shell, Hunt, et al really isn't anything to hold a grudge over?
The Congress cannot take the troops out tomorrow. They can withhold funds and force an eventual withdraw. Although I think they should, that's easier said than done. If there was any one constructive point in your anonymous throw-a-rock-and-run diatribe worthy of debate, it was likely that one. Like my late Dad often said when I was a child; "you sound just like a cheap radio, you can hear anything out of a cheap radio". Also, have some balls and sign a name. Otherwise, you have no balls, just a little fuzzy bag.
as if YOU WOULD SUIT UP TO GO, you lying son of a bitch...
we got your number, neocon troll, you'd never suit your own sorry cowardly ass up to go to Iraq to die, it's someone elses job to do that, right?
and then, with your faux noize channel;"if we don't fight them thar we wud haf ta fight dem over dere" bullshit... another crock of neocon bullshit, but you parrot it anyway..
why don't you lying neocon cocksuckers take rat poison and get the fuck off this ball in an honorable way instead of parroting this jackass shit to people who actually can see thru your bullshit right wing neocon rhetoric and lies, eh dorkus??
go get some RID O RAT, I'm sure you can buy some at the local hardward store, and then put it in your hooch and guzzle that. the problem will go away shortly, you miserable son of a bitch and lying mass murdering cocksucker!
get real, you neocon slugs....you are the reason this nation is imploding......YOU ARE!!!!!
Disappointed
I support your right to free speach. I just wish you didn't have to be so rude about it.
Find your own platform: a sidewalk on a busy street, a meeting of fellow citizens at a public park (which you spent your own money to advertise, blanket flyers in neighborhoods, and encourage participation), etc.
But don't pretend to be interested participants at a swearing in ceremony of new citizens to our country, and a speach by the president of the United States of America.
Your behavior appears to be that of raving lunatics when you act this way, and it does not help your advocated cause in the least regard.
Happy 4th President Bush
Had I been there 8 protesters would have been escorted out instead of 7. Great Job and a super way to spend the 4th of July, in todays America.

Escort the war criminal out
All you have to do is escort the war criminal out and the protests will be over. Glad to know you believe in justice for all who break the law. Read the 35 articles of impeachment and learn.

Freedom of Speech
Why is OK when liberals heckle you call it "free speech", but it is OK for you to shout down those you disagree with an limit their freespeech?? Do you believe that you have free speech and those who disagree with you don't????
Sycophantic "anonymous" Fool
Your fascist Chickenhawk "fuhrer" just wasted thousands of exploited soldiers, murdered over a million innocent men women and children (who never had anything whatsoever to do with Bush's "9-11") and stole over 5 trillion dollars from us you stupid son of a bitch.
Free speech eh? Ever hear of the Bill of Rights? The Constitution? United States sovereignty?
I took the oath to defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign or domestic, how about you? I did not take an oath to defend Republicans, Democrats, oil companies, foreign governments or evil men and neither did the young soldiers who have been betrayed by Bush in his Iraq Holocaust.
Moronic Repugs like you are the worst excuse for human beings that I have ever seen, no respect for life or land, they try to rationalize bigotry, fear, hate, theft, lies, greed, gluttony, laziness, stupidity, ugliness, disgusting torture fetishes and their proclivity to recklessly consume and destroy.
And your knee jerk reaction to true Patriotism (Dissent) is to scream "LIBERAL"! How pathetic!
Now that I have wasted a few minutes of my time with you "anonymous", GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
The only purpose of "anonymous" is to annoy and distract. Doubt the jerk could even find Israel on a map to say nothing of the United States of America.
Soooo. Your response to his
Soooo. Your response to his question about whether liberals respect free speech is to tell him to "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE"? Really?
DON'T BE BAITED INTO MORON MODE
-geez, every time I follow a link . .
-IGNORANT, not necessarily dumb, but . .
-Poor anon. - here's something to take home .......
IF all of you good people really 'want to know', it requires some work on your part . .
because there are huge, powerful forces that don't want you informed or thinking for yourselves.
Good Luck !
A provision in the "PATRIOT Act" creates a new federal police force with the power to violate the Bill of Rights.
Go to House Report 109-333 USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005
Sec. 605 reads:"There is hereby created and established a permanent police force, to be known as the 'United States Secret Service Uniformed Division." . ."subject to the supervision of the Secretary of Homeland Security."

Police State America - A Look Back and Ahead http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=7622 James Madison said "The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands....is the definition of tyranny," and that's the condition now in America. This article reviews the record for the past seven years. It's not pretty.

Don't be a moron, be like me
This is a perfect example of what is wrong with both the left and the right. People like this just assume that if you're not thinking like them, then you're brainwashed. What they're really saying is don't be fooled by the other side, be fooled by me. Getting people to think for themselves is not even part of the equation.
Bottom line
If your an American and YOUR NOT DISTURBED BY WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE LAST 7 YEARS. And your NOT TAKING SOME SORT OF ACTION. The YOU ARE THE PERSON THAT NEEDS TO LEAVE. Only cowards stand by when their life and liberty are being taken in pieces.
The courageous take action to make sure that they are preserved. That is the bottom line. In other words if your not doing anything shut your mouth.
