Darth Cheney descends on Austin

[NoPasaran]

Austin? WTF? He went to MISSI-freekin-SSIPPI and they told him to go fuck himself. What does he expect in our fair city?

Vice President Dick Cheney tomorrow will visit Austin to get a briefing on hurricane refugee and relief efforts.

[dave502d]

[reprehensor]

3. NoPas...

This is your time.

Be the second human on record to tell the VP to go 'Cheney' himself.

It won't make Baby Jesus cry...

Cheney is walking evil.

Even Jebus threw the money changers out of the temple.

[CitySky]

17. Think Big

I think in Austin, you could get enough people to form a human billboard to spell it out in a field near we'll he'll be landing. Or to hold up cards with different colors and "crowd-spell" like at a college football game. :)

[EC]

4. From now on there should be a

Go Fuck youself Mr. Chaney in every town...he shows up in..

[sonias]

5. Pardon my language, but as the good Dr. Ben Marble yelled

"Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney! Go fuck yourself, you asshole!"

Damn I can't be there to yell it myself. I'll pass it around though.

<you know what to say> :evilgrin:

[Why Syzygy]

7. Yeah but

he is on his way to Houston, isn't he? Isn't this about the time he is scheduled to hog feed Tom DeLay's election funds? With you know, the HAVE MORES?

[acmejack]

8. Let's go see him!

Maybe we can "talk" to him.

[anarchy1999]

9. Peace to you all, be sure to wear lots of garlic and carry crosses in

front of you. He is a very wicked individual.

Love you all lots and hope I can make it to Austin tomorrow. Not looking good for me right now, but I can hope.

Anyone within driving distance don't miss this!

Protesters deride Cheney as he visits Austin shelter
AUSTIN — As Vice President Dick Cheney toured Hurricane Katrina shelter operations in Texas' capital city Saturday, a group of about two dozen protesters gathered outside chanting, "Cheney, Cheney, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide."

(snip)
"Cheney is profiteering off of murder," said 36-year-old Debbie Russell of Austin, who flashed an obscene gesture at the vice president when he waved at her and other protesters as he got into his vehicle.

That's from all of us you fucker Cheney!

12. Hey Sonia, Peace! and a kiss and a hug! n/t

Debbie kicks ass and then some. But then so do all the rest of us.

[sonias]

14. Hi anarchy1999!

We all do what we can. I'm sorry I couldn't make the protest, since I was working a benefit for our guests from Louisiana. But you know Debbie would speak and gesture for all of us.

Dick Cheney comes to Austin

Outside the convention center, dozens of protesters holding posters that carried messages including "Go FEMA Yourself" and "Incompetence Kills" stood along Cesar Chavez Street as Cheney's motorcade pulled away.

11. There is a whole passel of my folks that would have been there to

boo and hold up signs if we had known in advance that he was in Austin.
How did he get through town so unannounced?

[sonias]

18. Precisely why it was so low key, efhmc

The first announcement of this stop was made late Friday morning only in print media. I never heard it get any TV coverage locally except for News8 and that was briefly.

Cheney didn't want any more "fuck you Mr. Cheney" on TV press conferences. Only the media was allowed in to do their part of the photo-op, with him and the repuke representatives he brought along.
