"Go FUCK YOURSELF" Shouted to Dick Cheney in Miss. Press Conference!
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 11:53 AM by KoKo01
Cheney was blathering about how great everything is in Mississippi on CNN and a man yelled "Go Fuck Yourself" twice. A reporter said: "Do you hear alot of that Mr. Vice President?" Cheney laughed and said "He must be a "friend of John..." chuckled and put his head down.

So Cheney goes to diaster area and disses John Kerry. These disgusting people have NO SHAME! I hope there's a transcript...Believe me on this..

On EDIT: DU'er "Hope Lives" over in GDP Forum heard Cheney's reply as this:
One of the reporters asked Cheney if he had been getting a lot of that and Cheney said No, that was the first, must have been a friend of John...then he thought twice and didn't finish his comment.

2. Does the responsibility lie with the Homeowner or the Govt....
IOW, can the Govt. bulldoze your house as a "health hazard" or do they have to check with you first. :eyes:

13. I worked for FEMA debris removal contractor after Ivan.
If a building was totally destroyed, no chance of repair, it was bulldozed (backhoed, actually) and hauled to a landfill.

If your house was still habitable, you were responsible for bringing all debris to the street right-of-way where it would be picked up by the contractor at no charge.

16. What about personal items that folks might have wanted to recover,
though. Many folks can't get back to their homes or they died and relatives have to deal... Is there a waiting time before a house is condemened?

36. With this bunch, probably a LONG waiting time.
But seriously...
If it's safe to enter the house, of course you can remove valuables and mementos.
If not, I'm afraid you can't.

6. Except for the reporter who said "Do you get alot of this" when the
person yelled "Go Fuck Yourself" it was pretty limited to a few bland questions about Pelosi calling for an independent investigation, which Cheney fluffed off.. Also, Cheney was in his calm mode doing what he did for Poppy in the Gulf War. "I'm in charge, everything is going well..I praise the people who have handled themselves with courage and the officials and National Guard who are here working on the recovery and restoration effort...blah...blah...blah. Typical Cheney crap.

26. funny how cheney said "first time I heard it" when HE HIMSELF
uttered those words on the floor of the senate to a dem senator (leahey?)


they showed it on CNN tonight on Wolf Blitzer; and Cafferty caught that right away; that cheney had said "go f*** yourself" a few months ago on the floor of the US senate.

Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 12:00 PM by KoKo01
internet. I'm sure if I heard it many others did too and it should be reported that he only cares about politics and business and uses every opportunity to slam Democrats that he can. That comment by Cheney was uncalled for and, the guy who made it is probably right now on his way to GITMO.

17. Cheney knows that Diebold won in 2004, and SCOTUS in 2000. He has
to slam them publically, because he knows he's in office illegitimately.

19. They can never allow people to think that Democrats would have been better

Look at that dumb fuck Bernie Goldberg's book about 100 People Screwing Up America.

Jimmy Carter! Plus, isn't he in the top 10 in that book. Totally ridiculous.

They must forever maintain the vilification of their opponents. I actually have had Freeper idiots on another board my wife and I run both DEFEND Bush's response to Katrina AND try to talk shit about how it's a good thing Kerry wasn't President. I've been destroying them with facts and they are hurting. I mostly post things from here just to try to bring reality to them. I think it's working, somewhat.

The Repubs and their Cult Members are desperate to maintain their illusions, it's all they have!

12. if he had been getting a lot of that
The reason he does not is because he lives in a sterile bubble, safe and secure from the rabble and common people.

THE BUBBLE HAS BURST!

18. Randi said the guy didn't sound agitated and particularly loud,
more like he was just tired and disgusted.

That was the first cheney has heard that? He really does live in a cave.

I agree that the guy sounded tired and disgusted.

I would be very happy to see this begin a trend at any public event that * or the devil cheney or where any of the rest of these pukes appear.

I'd do it, but I suspect that after my email to cheney telling him to go fuck himself, I might be barred from entry to any event where a repuke is likely to appear!! :evilgrin:

23. Just caught it on C-SPAN--from a tape earlier today--sounds like
some guy walking by just shouted it out:"Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney!" The guy said it twice. A reporter asked if Cheney heard that a lot? (surprised he asked the question!) Darth said no, he didn't hear that much....(Must have forgotten when he heard it out of his own mouth in the Senate!)

A Very, Very Good Idea

Ben Marble, a Gulfport resident who says he’s a doctor, had the guts to wade into Vice President Dick Cheney’s carefully-staged photo op Thursday and say what many residents of the Gulf Coast wanted to say to the politicians who sat on their butts while the people of Mississippi and Louisiana lay dead and dying.

“Go fuck yourself Mr. Cheney,” Marble screamed just off camera as the event played out live on CNN. “Go fuck yourself you asshole!”

Secret Service agents subdued Marble and CNN yanked the video off its web site but copies of it float around the Internet and Marble, who’s homeless after Katrina destroyed his Gulfport home, is offering a copy for sale on EBay.

Republicans, of course, jumped in with carefully-crafted indignation over Marble’s “inappropriate remarks” to Cheney, forgetting the Vice President used the same words to tell off a Senator just last year.

Cheney offered his outburst of obscenity because that Senator had the gall to question his relationship with scandal-scarred Halliburton, the company he used to run and that’s now ripping off taxpayers in Iraq. All Marble had to be upset about was loss of his home, death of close friends and family and destruction of the city he loved.
