[babylonsister]

3. Thank you, Bb! This does my heart good! K&R! nt

[Sydnie]

4. Kick n/t

[Disturbed]

6. Ms Rice believes in the US Constitution.

“You can’t allow somebody to commit the crime before you detain them, because if they commit the crime, thousands of innocent people die,” Condoleezza Rice

[sinkingfeeling]

14. So we show now detain people before they commit a crime? When

did we change the laws and Constitution? Are we now the 'Minority Report'?

[reichstag911]

15. What an ugly "human being,"...

...in every sense.

[rman]

45. That's why we're going to detain everyone indefinitely, without charges.

Because anyone might do something bad at some time in the future.
Except us, of course.

(and that's only slightly exaggerated)

[Supersedeas]

5. remain optimistic no matter what...no matter what...no matter what

[durrrty libby]

7. Thanks for the pics....Stunningly Beautiful Protest.......n/t

9. Condyloma go homea

[Warpy]

10. Thanks!

All the lying, sack of shit corporate media said was "standing ovation."

The didn't mention that the standees had their backs turned!

[az chela]

11. I am beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel

Thanks for all the great pics.WE WILL NOT STOP til this evil government is behind bars!!!!
To all of you who are out protesting I say THANK YOU a million times

[Coexist]

12. knr

[gratuitous]

13. Why are they taking down the banner in that last picture?

It's factually correct, doesn't have any naughty words in it, and doesn't have any nasty pictures on it. Puzzling. Why, if it weren't for the overwhelming control that liberals and anti-war voices exercise over the media and in all public places, it would almost look like censorship.

But we know that can't be the case. Bill O'Reilly will explain it all, I'm sure.

[Bluebear]

17. Must not allow dissent. 9/11 changed everything, don't you know? nt

[Caution]

21. That's an obvious security risk

seriously. a walkway covered by a large banner like that would create cover for someone in a place that the advance security team couldn't have anticipated. It sucks, but the banner would have been better hung on a wall than in that location. It's a convenient excuse but it's also a legitimate one.

[gratuitous]

25. Weak, in my opinion

I understand what you're saying, but I'd conjecture that the walkway itself is patrolled by security posted at either end. The presence of the banner on the safety rail doesn't obstruct sight lines down the walkway.

But, any port in a storm for the fascisti, I suppose.

[Mr_Spock]

16. Condi - worst lying sycophant ever.

I'm so glad people up here are not wanting that horrible person getting anything positive.

[barbtries]

18. these pictures

sent tears streaming down my face. the people are starting to get it, they are

[cliss]

19. Thanks for sharing, Blue Bear.

I love seeing photos like this - they show the true spirit of this country.

By the way, Condiment Rice looks absolutely miserable in these photos. She knows the score. Her little castle made of sand is washing away......by the Tide. The protests are going to get louder, Louder, LOUDER.

I bet you anything she high-tailed it outta there, took a sedative and flew back home pronto.

[grateful581]

20. thanks for the post

and thank you to all the patriots that stood up against this criminal.
:patriot:

[lies and propaganda]

22. ha! cnn ticker just said 'only a few protestors...'

but many, many, many supporters.

[Ms. Clio]

23. my goodness, how very rude

/sarcasm!

[lividtiff]

24. Thank you

Thank you for these pics. When you spend the day reading all of the aweful things the rupublicans do, it's nice to see people taking a stand. It's a breath of fresh air, and a bit of hope for the future.

[SoCalDem]

26. How to spoil what should have been a wonderful day

Those graduates deserved to hear an uplifting speech about THEIR futures...not a recitation of a litany of lies and distortions..

If I had spent a fortune sending MY kid there, I would be asking for monetary compensation for ruining my kid'd special day :)...or at least withholding future donations to a school that so obviously cares little about propriety.

[LibDemAlways]

34. At the very least I'd want any fees for

cap/gown rental refunded as well as any other ceremonty related expenses. If it was my kid and I found out Condiliar was the speaker, I'd be beyond furious.

That school had a hell of a lot of nerve inviting a lying sack-of-shit warmonger to spew her filth. No member of the Bush Crime Family deserves any respect whatever. I know many students and profs made a statement with their signs and by turning their backs. I'd have liked to see them all walk out and leave her talking to a bunch of empty chairs interspersed with zombie-like kool-aid drinkers.

[LuckyLib]

39. ITA. These colleges and universities that think they can

invite any old Administration Asshat to speak and have them met with respectful silence had better think again. The gloves are off, the young people are making visible noise to the warmongers, and the race is on! Thank you BC students and faculty. Let's see more of this!

(Edited for spelling)

[qanda]

27. Okay

Can I say that I absolutely love all of those brave souls. I LOVE them!

[Canuckistanian]

28. These assholes can't expect to be treated like normal humans

They're murderers, plain and simple. I sincerely hope they're hounded and villified like this for the rest of their miserable lives.
:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

29. I hope this got to her

If it is one thing posers don't like, it is being exposed.

[madmark]

30. she's a lightweight, incompetent, chickenhawk

36. This ACC fan will happily cheer for a rival. 3 cheers for the BC new alum!

:toast:

[katinmn]

37. Thanks to the bright ones at Boston College!

The rest need to haul their war mongering selves to the recruiting station.

[zulchzulu]

38. She got off easy...

[bdamomma]

40. those BC grads were telling the truth

hey condi, the truth hurts doesn't it?????

[tabasco]

41. Thanks to the protesters!

How can any decent organization sponsor a speech by a criminal like Rice?

[Breeze54]

42. Advertisement??

A 'win-win' for them?
They get to show how they value 'free speech' and yet,
they also get to show they have produced, 'thinking students'!

It's great publicity too!! :sarcasm:

GREAT PICS OP!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Oh, btw... FUCK CONDI!!!!!!!!!

[ClayZ]

43. Yay! n/t

[lebkuchen]

44. She was very welcomed at Stanford's commencement

when she first took the job as Sec. of State. I wonder why she didn't choose to speak at her old stomping grounds instead.

[woo me with science]

46. Notice how all the words are spelled correctly! nt
