I noticed about 10-15 troopers between Bush and the "protestors"..
As shown on MSNBC this morning. They were obviously told by someone to stand between the president and the protestors as his caravan of dignitaries and big money people passed by. It shows they are taking them very seriously as they pretend to ignore them. What are they afraid of?

2. The truth
Shrub knows he has no answers for Cindy. He can bully politicians, but he can't bully this mother. What's really scary to him is that Cindy is articulate and has been able to tell the truth in such a way that more and more people are realizing that Shrub is a liar.

7. Just compare both sides
Think about the Schiavo protest outside of the Hospice and the Elian protests in Miami. It all depends which side you are on. If the protest outside of Hospice was a liberal effort they would have been pepper sprayed and tossed a mile away in a "free" speech zone. All in the name of security. Because we know there were no death threats and trespassing going on with the rw crowd right?

With the Elian protests the cops waited until the rioting began and were still criticized by the media for their rough treatment of the rioters. Compare that to the treatment of the protesters that were gassed, beaten and arrested in NYC for the RNC or in Miami for the FTAA.
