wow, Kevin Griffey yelled " lazy fascist" at Gonzales

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/politics/20060207-9999-1n7disrupt.html

Disruptive San Diegan calls Gonzales 'lazy fascist'

A San Diego man briefly disrupted yesterday's Senate hearing on domestic surveillance, calling Attorney General Alberto Gonzales “a lazy fascist” as a protest to the Bush administration's eavesdropping program.

As Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter banged his gavel, 27-year-old mechanical engineer Kevin Griffey was escorted from the room, content that he had fulfilled a patriotic duty to resist a practice that he believes undermines the Constitution.

“The reason I spoke out today is that I love my country so much, and I feel it's going down a very troubling path,” Griffey said afterward. “If the administration is going to do something like this, it needs to follow the law and obtain a warrant.”

-snip-

“I feel that some of the practices of this administration are jeopardizing our freedoms in a lot of ways,” Griffey said. “That's why I felt perfectly justified in doing what I did today.”

thank you Kevin

16. I agree fascists are inherently both.
Bush is too damn lazy to do his job and read his P.D.B.s and probably too lousy to know what to do if he had. The fascist's solution is to give him more power, as opposed to say, holding him accountable, go figure. When the power they do give him is not enough, he takes it anyway, in spite of the laws against it. The Republican controlled congress roll over, say thank you and sir can we have another.

28. He wasn't a bad guy. He just wasn't a team player...
I come from a world that understand only one person can drive the bus at a time and we share. He insisted on doing all the driving, himself.

12. So thats who that was?
Edited on Tue Feb-07-06 03:18 PM by Ksec
I saw that when I watched the replay last night.

Gonzo looked upset when that happened. Like the guy buzzed his conscience. He had a look of guilt on his face. Hes an intelligent guy. He KNOWS he broke laws and his garbage excuses were laughable.

15. Yet another concerned citizen takes a stand against tyranny.
Hey, Congress critters, are you feeling at all embarassed or guilty or humiliated, YET? You should. Shame on your failure to protect us from such anti-democratic, anti-Constitution, anti-liberty practices. Shame on YOU! You are supposed to be the best of the best: the smartest, the most innovative, the most concerned, the exceptionally courageous, the particularly protective of our values and our interests.

21. Wish I could have been there to see Kevin Griffey
Thank you Kevin; you're being a helluva lot more patriotic than the likes of Alberto Gonzales.
He doesn't seem to be the smartest attorney on the block, so what's he doing in the high position he's in? Oh, I keep forgetting, one doesn't need to be qualified for a job with the Bush
administration, all you have to do is be loyal to the crooks, and lie a lot.
:thumbsup: :patriot:

I need a nap.

25. Thank you, Mr. Griffey for trying to snap Washington out of its trance
I would only quibble that Mr. Torture and Spy Gonzales isn't a lazy fascist; he's a hard working one who has been promoted for his fine legal mind.

After all, Alberto Gonzales works very hard at being a fascist.

39. Would it be out of line to suggest
that DUer's take up a fund to promote those kind of activities. Send a person or two a day to make a scene during procedings such as this. Maybe provide bail and/or attorneys. Help us get our voices heard. Possibly counteract some of kkk Roves blackmailing. It is just a thought. Not trying to steal a thread here.
