Bush's Independence Day speech interrupted by protesters!
WASHINGTON - July 4, 2008 (Xinhua)
- Anti-war protesters repeatedly interrupted U.S. President George W. Bush's
Independence Day speech Friday in Charlottesville, Virginia, ABC News reported.
As Bush started speaking at the
naturalization ceremony welcoming new citizens at Monticello, the home of
Thomas Jefferson, one of the country's Founding Fathers, a group of anti-war
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 Bush, while still another called him "a
fascist."
By the time Bush finished his
ten-minute remarks, at least nine protesters had been taken away from the event
by police.
In the speech, there is no word on
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he only thanked U.S. troops for their service
to the nation.
In the afternoon, Bush returned to the White House to
celebrate Independence Day, a holiday that falls right at the start of his
birthday weekend. Bush turned 62 on Sunday.
Ed. Note: Happy Birthday Amerika, where you are arrested for speaking out against the President! If you don't like it, then do something about it! Rise up en masse and forcibly prevent the secret service (i.e. SS) from arresting people for their political views! If you want Amerika to go back to being a free America, then rise up in armed Revolution and overthrow the tyrants who have destroyed our great country. If you are unwilling to do that, then you are part of the problem.
