Sessions: Anti-war demonstrators 'Blame America First'

WASHINGTON(AP)_ Support for U.S. troops fighting abroad mixed with anger toward anti-war demonstrators at home as hundreds of people, far fewer than organizers had expected, rallied Sunday on the National Mall just a day after a massive protest against the war in Iraq.

...

''The group who spoke here the other day did not represent the American ideals of freedom, liberty and spreading that around the world,'' Sen. Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican, told the crowd. ''I frankly don't know what they represent, other than to blame America first.''

One sign on the mall read ''Cindy Sheehan doesn't speak for me'' and another ''Arrest the traitors''; it listed Sheehan's name first among several people who have spoken against the war.

1. stfu

This asshole needs to hear from us.

[MelissaB]

4. Please write or mail him your thoughts.

[sabra]

5. great idea. will do

peace.

[Occulus]

7. We should paralyze his office

Call, and instead of complaining, just talk about stupid everyday stuff.

*ring* "Senator Sessions' office, can I help you?"

"I just heard the most amazing thing! Becky got a new car!!" (and stop)

All day long.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

13. You're only going to waste the time of an unpaid intern.

[zbdent]

2. Yep - arrest those exercising freedom of speech

and put up statues of those who expose CIA agents . . .

SICK F*CKS . . .

[MelissaB]

3. Recommending to expose this asshat to all of America

Yeah, I'm from Alabama. Just know that all of us don't think this way.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

14. We know Melissa.

Believe me, we definitely know we've got allies all over the South, even in the reddest of red counties.

Unfortunately, I don't think we're ever going to have enough of you to get assholes like Sessions out of office.

[BlueEyedSon]

6. Blaming Bush & the neocons is not blaming America, you douchebag!

[UrbScotty]

8. If you can't take the heat, get out of the Senate! (nt)

[BOSSHOG]

9. Senator, I spent 24 years supporting freedom and liberty

I love my country and our constitution more than any 100+ bunch of ignorant lemmings you can throw together and hand out flags to; and my actions as a Sailor and as a civilian prove it. I saw on an earlier post that two more American Soldiers have been killed in Iraq. No doubt they had your support and the support of all the flag waving assholes who think they are conservative and will do whatever the haters on right wing radio tell them to do. I'd be more than happy to tell you what I represent.

[QC]

10. Sessions has three kids.

Why haven't they enlisted?

Perhaps we should send enlistment forms to the honorable gentleman.

[Norquist Nemesis]

11. How Ironic

Apparently, the only way to spread American ideals of freedom and liberty around the world is at the point of a gun! "Right" Senator?

Senator Sessions should get a failing grade for competency as a federally elected official. He is either clueless or attempting to further ratchet up the divide, IMO. A U.S. Senator displaying these character attributes and representing a diverse constituency should not have the privilege of voting to enact laws affecting the citizens of this country.

12. Who else is to be blamed for American foreign policy and pre-emptive war

[leesa]

15. Well, it IS American foreign policy doing the damage, after all

Don't blame America....just a variation of the GOP, "It ain't my fault" meme.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

16. We are blaming GOVERNMENT first...we are america

you just don't seem to get that Sessions. We are America. You are the government. Its our job to keep you in check (although, clearly we are failing). all you are doing is "projection of the right" projecting your problems on us. :eyes:

18. Sessions is just another member of

the "Blame Ex-American Presidents First" crowd. It's all the fault of the "Clenis".

How they can wrap their heads around this one is beyond me. They claim that Democrats and liberals "blame America first", yet they've spent their entire existence "blaming former American Presidents first"...a president that I would like to add was our last "legitimately" elected President.

Why does Senator Sessions hate America?

[Clark2008]

22. I love The Who.

Just so you know.

[Clark2008]

20. Yeah, I wrote the idiot.

My Dad and step-Mother live in Alabama, so I used their address to fill out the email form on his website.

I posted the letter here:

[MelissaB]

21. Thank you!

I'll bet you will get a reply that really ticks you off. Please keep me posted. :hi:

[Clark2008]

24. Did you know Huntsville (where my parents live)

loves Wesley Clark so much they actually named a street after him?

Seriously, the have all these streets named after generals and there is a Wesley Clark Drive in Huntsville.

Cute. :)

[MelissaB]

25. I didn't know that.

We go to Hsv. fairly often becasue my son plays hockey. Can you tell me where it is? The next time we go I'll look for it.

[Ladyhawk]

23. No, Senator. Anti-war demonstrators are looking first at the beam

in our own eye.

[Toots]

26. Well we all know America is never to blame for anything......

And Bush* is even less to blame.......:shrug: got soundbite??
