Jeb Bush gets rude welcome(Pittsburgh-Forced In To Closet)
Edited on Sat Oct-07-06 12:15 AM by RamboLiberal
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06280/728177-177.stm

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, in town for a fund-raiser for Sen. Rick Santorum, had a close encounter with a large group of anti-Republican protesters as he was making his way to the Duquesne Club, Downtown.

<snip>

Protesters said Gov. Bush blew them a kiss, acknowledging the crowd of about 30 chanting pickets that was made up of United Steelworkers and members of Uprise Counter Recruitment, a tour traveling through 22 cities to support anti-war efforts.

The protesters came closer.

"Jeb, go home," they shouted.

Mr. Bush, accompanied by a security guard and a female aide, made a slow retreat toward the T-station at Wood Street.

<snip>

As a precaution, the governor was ushered into a T-station supply closet and stayed there until the crowd left.

99. Sealed With A Kiss--2006 Version
Rick I got to say good-bye to your junket
Baby, I’m shocked at this
Pittsburghers chased me down
And I hid in a closet
Sealed with a kiss

I thought they all loved me and my Brother
It’s what I see on FOX
But they got all pissed off
And I hid in the closet
Sealed with a kiss

Rick I’ll see you right on K street
I hear Rush’s voice everywhere
I came here to support you
But Protesters made sure I wasn’t there

I don’t want to say goodbye without getting your money
Knowing Mark Foley we’ll miss
So let us make a pledge
Next time there’ll be free speech zones
Sealed with a kiss

72. I hope the Casey campaign seizes on this incident...
(and quite frankly any Dem campaign) to show the contempt the Rs have for labor. The image of the President's damn brother blowing a kiss to a steelworker would be pretty powerful. The message being that that could have been any American worker being "blown" to by the party in power.

I know Casey's up by double-digits, but I don't trust the machine behind Santorum.

139. And you KNOW he's going to want his turn in the White House.
"IT'S MY TURN NOW! GEORGE HAD HIS TURN, NOW IT'S MY TURN. YOU PROMISED ME DADDY! MOMMY, MAKE GEORGE STOP, MAKE HIM GIVE ME A TURN. I'M THE SMART ONE, WHEN DO I GET TO BE PRESIDENT"?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Why Jebbie, you're not going to get a turn. Your big brother fucked up any chance you ever had. The Bush name is now synonymous with arrogance, stubbornness, sloth, snobbery, stupidity, dishonesty, treachery and treason. You're going to end up being a lobbyist trying to suck up to the next DEMOCRATIC president and she/he won't give you the time of day. LOSER! :rofl: Your big brother (dimensions only, you're smarter than him, but not by much) ruined any chance of you getting close to the White House again, DEAL WITH IT!

There's lot's of fundraisers in your future, Jebbie. "SEE THE AMAZING MAN WHO COULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT ONE DAY IF HIS BIG BROTHER WASN'T SUCH A FUCK-UP! HEAR HIS TALES OF SIBLING RIVALRY AND HOW MOMMY ALWAYS LOVED GEORGE BEST! STEP RIGHT UP, PAY YOUR $50 A PLATE (that's all you'll be worth, Jebbie) AND RUB ELBOWS WITH THE MAN WHO "COULD HAVE BEEN".

I wish this entire family would just disappear from the face of the earth, that the earth, which they tried so hard to destroy, would swallow them all, banishing them to it's fiery bowels, forever.

Ahhhhhhhh, a guy's gotta have a dream! :7

9. The republiclowns, with their divide and conquer extreme
partisan anger politics, have brought this ugliness down on us.

They incite their followers to accuse the democrats of every sort of evil that they themselves are guilty of and then whine about division and resistance from their opponents. Just like the schoolyard bullies, picking and biting until somebody has had enough and strikes back then they bitch and moan that nobody likes them and everybody is picking on them.

Sickening examples of human shaped husks with no conscience and no redeeming social value.

12. It seems funny, but it got pretty serious
"Mr. Grove said a Port Authority canine unit was called in to help with crowd control. Two officers used their tasers to stun two protesters who "were asked to leave, but did not go," Mr. Grove said.

The tasers he said were empty of the cartridges that supply a more powerful charge.
...
The two men who were tasered were shaken and left the protest, said David Meieran, with the Thomas Merton Center and one of the protesters with Uprise Counter Recruitment."

Being tasered is kind of ironic, given how Thomas Merton died.

63. Protesters from the Thomas Merton Center
I guess I'm a little surprised a full-scale riot didn't break out, with those well-known hair-trigger radicals in the protest group. I'll bet Jeb! was wondering where his usual gestapo--whoops, "state police"--detail was when he made his ill-advised gesture toward the protesters.

157. 'how Thomas Merton died'????? ... he died in a tour to SEAsia in the 60s?
Is that right??

I remember many were suspicious that he had been assassinated b/c he was a very respected priest speaking strongly against the war.

sweat as he hid in a supply closet.

I know Poppy Bush served as a pilot and was shot down...but his boys are the biggest cowards around.

I wish I could have been there to see Jeb hiding in a closet. Surprised he could fit that gargantuan head of his into a closet.

21. Poppy bailed on his crewmates in that incident.
Several eyewitness accounts contradict his story about what happened, with a lot of disgust for a pilot who should have stayed at the controls till his men got their parachutes on. Strong sense of self-preservation in that family.

Edited on Sat Oct-07-06 10:32 AM by Jose Diablo
Didn't tell the crew over the PA to bail. Poppy was the only one that made it out, because as a coward would do, his mind locked-up in panic as the plane was smoking.

You know he got a medal for that event, no doubt his old man Prescott's doing in preparation for his Georgie's future political career.

How is it the useless people seem it end-up in power here in the USA? Image over substance, that's the rule in advertising.

16. I heard that later on Santorum slipped out the back door....
but that's nothing new. (rimshot)

I arrived through that T-Station about 1/2 hour after the jeb "closet incident". The crowd continued the demonstration.

The reactions from pedestrians and drivers was great. The energy level is building.

31 days until we send that Low Life Lying Lizard from Leesburg back where he belongs.

It looks like bush the even lesser thought he could insult his opponents and come away looking like his smarmy brother. I bet he wished that closet had been a porta-potty when those steelworkers started crowding in.
:rofl:

Seriously though, he should be made to apologize for his insulting actions. That's no way for a decent human being to behave.

40. Pit. police did NOT respond to T-station; Jeb enters Club via back door
More snippets from article:

Pittsburgh police said they monitored the protest in front of the Duquesne Club, which they called peaceful, but did not respond to the incident in the T-station.

The entire incident lasted about 5 minutes. After calm was restored, the smaller group of protesters inside the T-station made their way back to the Duquesne Club where they staked out the front of the building and an alley entrance.

Mr. Vandenburgh and Mr. Meieran said they later saw Mr. Bush escorted to the Duquesne Club, which he entered through a back door at about 5 p.m.

A spokeswoman for Mr. Bush said she was unaware of the incident last night and had no immediate comment.

(End of snippets)

I hope this makes the local southwestern GOP realize they better hold future fundraisers in Ligonier (Scaiffe's hometown) or Sewickley - they're not welcome in Pittsburgh, and it is too funny that the city cops did not intervene.

41. The article states 30, then 50, then 75 protesters.
Bet it was more like 300, based on how the media likes to downplay the numbers in favor of the bushies.

45. Watch out for a backlash. I'm serious.
We opponents of Santorum, Bush and all that the Repugs stand for do ourselves no favors when we chase Jeb into a janitor's closet in a scrum that ends up with police using tasers.

We do ourselves no favor when we storm the stage at Columbia University, forcing Jim Gilchrist, the fascist leader of the Minutemen "civilian immigration patrol" to flee before he can even speak.

And we just give the ignoble opposition more ammo when we hit Ann Coulter in the face with a pie.

It gives the Repugs more rhetorical tools to paint us as the enemies of discourse and dialogue. This is terribly ironic, because with their control of the MSM it is THEY who muzzle alternate ideas.

And finally, these tactics hinder the true purpose of Free Speech, which is to give everybody the absolute right to show the world, by their words alone, that they are total assholes!

Let them speak. Point out their lies and foolishness. Ridicule their arguments. Believe me, the American people WILL get it.

Okay. flame away.

48. "I hate Illinois Nazis"...Jake Blues
The American public is tired of the right wing crap and just not willing to take it any more.

I think most people feel that way and while I agree with you that we should let them speak, there is also a sentiment best expressed by Jake Blues in the original Blues Brothers movie when he said:

"I hate Illinois Nazis"...just before he chased them off the bridge with his car.

Here in Pittsburgh, there are people that remember how trying to negotiate with companies for better wages got them no where until the shut down the factories and marched.

We have a middle class in this country due to the men and women of the Labor Movement!

into the Iraq War, time they felt what they will feel at the ballot boxes, the only way
to shut up them up is to STAND up, Jeb was not touched, the protesters stood their ground
and chanted, the police did not even respond to the T-station, AND he ran and hid.

97. Timing is everything
It's one thing to hold huge legal marches and rallys to show your displeasure with the Bush war machine. Those words, spoken in unison by millions, speak much louder than the deeds done by a handful of activists who managed to corner Jeb in a closet at the Wood Street T-station.

What those activists did was make Jeb a right-wing posterboy for victimhood. Madge, just look at how those uncouth radicals mistreated the President's brother! We don't need that. Better to have him speak for Santorum, and THEN point out what a moran he is.

BTW, I'm a union man and I weep over how the Rethugs are systematically dismantling organized labor and (not so coincidentally) the middle class.

"What those activists did was make Jeb a right-wing posterboy for victimhood."

Didn't you mean "weeniehood?" he, he, he....

Hey, I am proud the crowd rose up. Whenever the Dems play it nice, we get swiftboated, called sissies, or "weak." John Kerry was just on Bill Maher's show and said he won't give them one ounce from now on--won't assume that the American people know better--won't play quite so nice in the future. I agree. Being gentlemanly has gotten us to this horrible situation in the US--we've got nothing and the black hearts own everything.

And they responded. He was a big man, blowing kisses until they shouted him down. He ran into a closet like the coward that he is. I would normally agree with you, but in this case Jeb was the one who precipitated this entire incident.

98. Yes, I'm serious. Pick your battles.
As I told another poster above, all that those (justifiably) angry protesters did when they cornered Jeb in a utility closet at the Wood Street T-station was turn him into a poster-boy victim for Rethugs who will use the incident as an example of our "fascist" agenda.

The irony makes me want to cry.

Better to have used the "blowing kisses" gesture to make HIM look stupid and YOU look tolerant at the same time!

112. Disagree.
When one stands up, others of us are emboldened.

We are defeated by our silence.

Groups like Code Pink, Cindy Sheehans's group, all
who protest...THEY ARE making a difference.

When the talking heads speak their lies, they go unchallenged,
their lies and foolishness are NOT pointed out, their "arguments"
are NOT ridiculed.

Believe ME, the American people WILL NOT get it, unless the
criminals are stood up to. When they have complete control it
will be too late.

...if it's not too late already.

What did they do that was so wrong? They were protesting, Jeb walks by and blows them a kiss (to steelworkers in Pittsburgh!), they followed him into the station and told him what they thought of him. No violence, just words and signs. Isn't that what free speech is? This is exactly what we need right now. People speaking truth to power.

Rock on.

As for free speech, excuse while I recall that quaint concept. The reason these protests are getting more boiterous and physical is becasue free speech and fair elections have been taken away, piece by piece. Didn't come guy get arrested by the SS for telling Cheney what he thought recently?

I say protest away, becasue the system is broken!!

While we are not quite to the "blood" stage yet, give it a little more time under Bu$hitCo and the Rethuglicans! Better to protest loudly now, release some steam and get more people enrgized, than wait until the bigger explosion from suppressing everything with "Tea time for Two" responses!

117. "Two officers used their tasers to stun two protesters...
...who 'were asked to leave, but did not go,' (Port Authority spokesman Bob Grove said.)"

Police should only be allowed to use tasers on someone who is carrying a weapon.

They shouldn't be allowed to electrify a protestor who is just sitting or standing unarmed. The police can carry them away without tasering. They probably had to carry them away after electrifying them, anyway.

Who knows what the long term health effect of being tasered is?

154. So ironic.
Edited on Sun Oct-08-06 08:18 AM by Brian Stevens
Police now can use tasers to "subdue" protesters. Not the first time it happened. One protest had a human chain and they used a taser to break it. I am surprised there is not much anger to this on here. Yes, make fun of the Fl. Bushit, but TWO PEOPLE GOT HURT BECAUSE THEY DECENTED THE REPUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good for you Eric for pointing this out.

121. someone should do an expose
on the CLOSET where he hid, and show it, and talk to the steelworkers, that'd be some funny shiott!

and maybe south park could make a video with him in the closet, and mark foley telling him to come out, that it's okay, he did it, and he's better now...

136. Is that a change in the wind I sense?
Edited on Sat Oct-07-06 05:47 PM by IWantAChange
Is it possible that mainstream America has reached the tipping point and is ready to throw out the party of moral values and that the 'War Presidents' brother was forced to duck into a closet because
he is the Presidents brother? Has Dubyha been anywhere in the last two years before a crowd that wasn't hand-picked?

152. Nothing to worry about
In his eyes there is no concern because remember the voting machine problems that are still going on and not a thing has been done about it, especially in Florida.

153. I love it. George's smarter brother blows steelworkers a kiss.
and ends up hiding in a closet.

What is it about these Bush boys that makes them incapable of understanding things like the reaction of steelworkers for chrissake to a smartass politician blowing them a kiss--or of people in the Middle East reacting to a smartass, chickenhawk in a flightsuit saying "Bring it on" on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

161. They've always gotten what they wanted, and have never
had to face consequences for anything they've done.
