BUSH IS BEING HECKLED!!!

[Maddy McCall]

VA SPEECH. HE'S BEING HECKLED!

Edit: Since this is part of the GOP's distraction plan for the day, to distract from indictments, please, mods, let us discuss it here.

[AlCzervik]

1. Details---i beg you.

[Maddy McCall]

5. Someone in the back of the room was heckling him...

and the rest of the people booed him down.

I imagine he's already been ushered out.

[AlCzervik]

7. of course and brought directly to their portable rubber hose room.

[Dinger]

57. Stupid Fucker Says Iraq & 9-11 Connected!

Give it the fuck up you gaddamned idiot!!

:mad:

[CottonBear]

35. He'd just started the main part of his speech when someone started yelling

I couldn't understand what was said. it was two sentences at least. Bush kept talking and the crowd started booing. Bush kept talking and then the crowd started applauding during the middle of Bush speaking. I think that they were applauding the heckler's removal.

It made my morning! :)

[halobeam]

2. I thought that too, but then cheering got loud....

was that to drown it out?

[Maddy McCall]

6. Yes...it was boos and cheers...

to drown the heckler out.

[annabanana]

3. I thought I heard something

(given the audience, mighten that have been "hOOOO rah"'s?)

[Maddy McCall]

10. No...did you see the doe in the headlights look on Bush's face?

[SpiralHawk]

53. That's the same look he had on 9/11

He froze when the nation was under attack, and did nothing. With an hour's warning he and his Cronies could not even muster a pea shooter to defend the Pentagon and Washington.

Pathetic.

[leesa]

58. He played his role exactly as ordered on 9-11.

[savemefromdumbya]

66. yes he did

[halobeam]

11. Someone was shouting something...words, not yahoo's

and hoorays... then clapping and cheers (Ugh...puke) got louder... I think it was to drown it out and get the possible hecklers out. It seemed negative, his (Bush's) reaction was weird, his face got red and then he continued when the cheering got loud... the cheering was in his mid sentence... really weird.

[Maddy McCall]

18. Yes, it was angry screaming at Bush...

and he stood there startled, and then the boos started. Then, the boos evolved to cheers.

No doubt it was a heckler.

My question is, are all the people at that speech military?

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. Bush was wonder "Who let that guy in!"

He's going to have some "words" with those see-cyour-ty people! LOL

[LA lady]

39. Very military area

I lived there for 5 years, there are military EVERYWHERE in that area. Extremly red except for Hampton.

[insane_cratic_gal]

49. Very Military Yet Very Blue!

Kerry 43,518 62%

Bush 26,401 38%


On edit here is the Link for that

Look under Norfolk

[kath]

70. Well, for sure it's a hand-picked screened audience - it always is for the

Bubble Boy.

[maddezmom]

4. thought I heard it

:wow:

[pimpbot]

15. I heard someone yelling "karl rove"

Then the rest of the crowd drown them out.

Bush is really stumbling today. He cant even read right today.

[Maddy McCall]

19. I couldn't make out what he was saying.

[Whoa_Nelly]

28. Not only stumbling on his words, but his eyes look like he's been crying

or has actaully NOT had a few good nights of sleep.

Perhaps he's been :cry: over indictments and how he's going to have to resign :evilgrin:

(I do so love to dream big!)

[belle]

43. Drinking heavily will give that bloodshot look too

[Whoa_Nelly]

63. Point well taken :-)

Am west coast....was just waking up drinking coffee when I tuned in to this yet-another-repeat-war-on-terra speech. You are probably right re: drinking. Also, if I remember what I've read about those who drink a lot, it does interrupt sleep cycle. :evilgrin:

Whatever the case/cause of * looking like hell, I enjoy every moment he looks like shit and is not moving on and enjoying his life, (a la his remarks in August about not meeting with Cindy and moving on with his life.)

[carolinalady]

8. I thought they were booing the Terra-ists he referenced. I hope

they were booing him.

[tgnyc]

9. There was a heckler. The crowd booed him. Then they applauded

probably because security had removed him.

[Maddy McCall]

12. Exactly what I interpreted it as.

[carolinalady]

13. I love how CNN had the CIA leak news conference time

captioned underneath him.

[bluedawg12]

14. I heard it too. This is his version of a Nurmberg rally. n/t

[halobeam]

17. This man is just a fear monger, negative and

quite frankly a great downer. I have NEVER heard a president so aggressively mean sounding. He is some sick pup.

[bluedawg12]

61. Look at who write this stuff- ever read David Frums book?

Militantly chicken hawk.

[Neocondriac]

16. Was he an ER doctor from Mississippi ?

[DemGirl]

26. He's a FUCKING idiot!!!

This motherfucker thinks the American public is to stupid to see through his fear mongering!

MSN broke away from his speech and are now reporting on the CIA Leak indictments... :applause:

Hey Bushie...you stoopid moron, nobody believes your bullshit anylonger!!!

[wtmusic]

54. welcome to DU DemGirl

:bounce: :toast: :bounce:

[crispini]

21. LOL, MSNBC just CUT AWAY FROM THE SPEECH!

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

[Maddy McCall]

22. Can you believe it???

[carolinalady]

24. How many people in America just changed channels to msnbc?

I DID.
:rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

29. And then they cut away from the speech.

Darn it!

[Coexist]

31. me, me, me!

thanks for the heads up.

[Fleshdancer]

25. Thanks for telling us!

I can't watch Bush anymore. Theway. hetalks. makesmy. skincrawl.

[tulsakatz]

27. not only did they cut away from the speech but.........

they said they were interrupting the speech to go to their TOP STORY of covering the indictment story!!!

So Fitzgerald is a bigger story than the terror speech!!!

[belle]

45. ooh, they hate him.

:evilgrin:

[cassiepriam]

71. I predict we will be seeing less and less of *.

His minders will not let him out much anymore.

[liveoaktx]

23. Geez, this is the THIRD TIME he has given this speech

[HereSince1628]

32. But it's the thousandth time he needs sound bites for the media

His handlers put him in a place where he can play to his polling strengths.

[acmejack]

34. So I'm not missing anything?

I had suspected it might be a "best of *", which I frankly thought was a little passe the first time I heard it.

[liveoaktx]

37. It is the same speech he had written to give on 9/11, which he gave

2 weeks ago, again to the Military Women the other day. We might as well put up a cardboad dummy with a tape recorder

[Catchawave]

48. That's what Wolf said when CNN broke away...hee, hee n/t

[pdxmom]

30. "We will settle for nothing less than complete victory"

Tell that to Meirs.

[Maddy McCall]

33. Or scooter.

[Bouncy Ball]

36. Ok I actually turned the shit on.

I had to turn to CNN because MSNBC isn't even showing his speech anymore. It's not on either C-SPAN channel, either.

OMG. CNN just cut in.

ROFL!!! GAWD, that is funny!

Wolf Blitzer: The President, repeating many of the lines he has used earlier....

Ow, ow ow, that's funny!

BTW, the heckling is GREAT when it happens. Even after they drag the person out, it psychs bush out. He's easily shaken when giving a speech, since he can rarely do a good job even under the BEST of conditions.

I am loving this.

[crispini]

40. This is outrageously funny.

He's trying to give a speech and NOBODY IS LISTENING! :rofl:

[pdxmom]

38. Wolfie basically just said...

Nothing new here folks. Move along, move along.

Even the media is tire of hearing the same crap.

[OhioChick]

41. I caught that, too! n/t

[Bouncy Ball]

42. Yep.

Wolfie's comment made me laugh out loud.

"Same old thing here, folks, FEAR FEAR FEAR, let's move on..."

:rofl:

[montana500]

46. are you serious? lol!!!

nm

[me b zola]

44. I heard it. Yes, definitely heckling

I rewound several times and I could not make out what the soldier (I am assuming) was saying.

We should try to get the press to look into who this was, because I have a sinking feeling that if this is a soldier, they will either be found in the brig or reassigned to Iraq. I want to hear this person's story, I want to know if they have served in Iraq.

[insane_cratic_gal]

47. Norfolk Va went for Kerry last election

A military town

Kerry 43,518 62%
Bush 26,401 38%


So whoever said that it's a very Red town didn't check their facts. I use to live there and I'm part of military family who is VERY democratic.

I hate the blanket statement that military is pro-republican

Like saying that Louisiana is pro Bush, there are parts that would say otherwise

[Maddy McCall]

50. Thanks for that info.

:thumbsup:

[Hissyspit]

52. Officer Corps is Rebulican...

Rank and File Soldiers lean Democrat.

LynnTheDem has posted the study/stats.

[insane_cratic_gal]

55. That is very true

We are rank and file Navy.. so considering that 85% of the military is the same. It really makes you wonder doesn't it?

[cynatnite]

51. I thought someone was yelling something...

This is the only circumstance I would approve of a soldier heckling a president.

We need an apolitical military, but bush needs to know and so does the rest of the world that he doesn't have the undying loyalty of everyone in the military.

[Catherine Vincent]

56. Alright!

[phylla]

59. Audience 50% military, 50% invited CoC business people

Norfolk and Portsmouth are heavy Dem. voters.
But Virginia Beach is EXTREMELY repug. And Va Beach is the behemouth around here.

[Bouncy Ball]

60. Yep, Va Beach is red red red.

It's weird.

I don't like it there.

[insane_cratic_gal]

62. Not excessively

Bush 103,752 59%

Kerry 70,666 40%

33,000 votes isn't extremely repug

I'd say the whole military area.. was pretty damn blue. Look at the map of Hampton roads

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/VA/P/00/map.html

[phylla]

64. I live in VaB and 20% margin dependable Repug is extreme enough for me

[insane_cratic_gal]

65. I lived there for 5 years

My husband is Navy.. I guess that happens when you get a party that drapes the military around themselves to look good.

People feel like if they don't support the war and the president then they are not supporting the troops.

Considering this administration more then any other uses the military as canvas for their war policy, it's disgusting.

But think of it this way.. only 20 percent in 2004 were fooled by that line of bullshit.

Ask them today, I bet you Va beach is blue by 20 percent.
Only place Asshat has a good rating in Utah

[blindpig]

67. As he was in S Florida.

I was listening to Sirius Left yesterday afternoon and a caller in S Florida said bu$h was heckled and cursed by a large crowd as he performed his dog & pony show.

[sunnystarr]

68. Here is the audio clip
