We confronted John Yoo today at the University of Virginia.

[arcadian]

First at the Miller Center of Public Affairs where I was forcibly removed, then there was a protest march from the Corner to Minor Hall, the location of John Yoo's second appearance. We marched right down Rte 250 in heavy traffic, no cop escort which was weird, right past the Rotunda. David Swanson, Cindy Sheehan, Ray Mcgovern, and Col. Anne Wright show up for the march, they weren't at the Miller Center event, but David was. At the second John Yoo speaking event at Minor Hall on the UVA campus, John claimed he "owned" John Stewart of the Daily Show(my paraphrasing). After he got a few laughs with that I piped up with "Did ya put the thumbscrews on him?" (Dead silence, pin drop silence, John Yoo looking perturbed, looking down, signaling security) Yoo: "What?" Me: "Yeah you know thumbscrews, it's a torture device, it's a joke, you know? Because torture is so funny." (cops moving in and I get up) On my way out I express my disgust that the University would host a torture advocate and a war criminal. Cops still move in, I put my hands up and say, "Don't touch me, I'm leaving." Some kid in the audience pipes up with "Don't taze me bro." Laughs from the audience, John Yoo laughs. I leave. Two young students left behind me and outside Minor Hall express their support, I thank them.

1. We haven't forgotten, Mr. Yoo

Good on ya, arcadian!

[ShortnFiery]

5. Yes, Here! Here! Yoo should have been dis-bared at a minimum by now.

This veteran salutes your courage arcadian! :patriot: :toast:

[boston bean]

6. Did you give him a big

Fuck Yoo from DUers? :evilgrin:

[arcadian]

12. I tried to engage him and I was going to mention DU.

But he slimes his way out of these situtaions. At the Miller Center he said that "9/11 changed the way that we think about law and the way that we wage war." again my paraphrasing. I countered him with "What do you mean? Iraq Invasion plans were on the books well before 9/11." To which he called me "paranoid". Later I asked him if I was the paranoid one, then why did he have to have a bomb sniffing dog go through the room before he spoke which did happen and was quite strange.

23. Good job and

nice pics. :hi:

[supernova]

7. Great job, arcadian.

:thumbsup:

He should be protested wherever he speaks.

Damn traitorous dictator wannabe

[truedelphi]

8. Thank you! Thank you!

And isn't it odd how strangely normal in appearance this monster happens to be?

[housewolf]

9. Good for you!!!!

Thanks for expressing what so many of us feel.

Thank you!!

[Loki]

10. I want to know where the America Bar Association is on this

criminal. They allow this POS to teach and to continue to practice and lecture at universities? If I were a Virginia alumni,I would write a very nasty letter when they come begging for money to call Mr. Yoo and have him contribute his salary. Shame on Berkley School of Law, shame on University of Virginia, War criminal, that's all anyone needs to say to him, say it over and over and over. Every where he goes there should be a silent protest with signs calling him a war criminal and put blood on your hands. How does this fucker sleep at night?

11. Hear Hear!!

[brucefan]

13. Good on ya!

[deaniac21]

14. You confronted yoo?

[monmouth]

15. So many awesome DUrs. Good on you...n/t

[peacetalksforall]

16. Great report and bravery. A question - if you have studied him - is he or was he ever a Moon

follower? Meaning Rev. Moon, of course.

Thanks for what you said that made him look down and call for security.

[arcadian]

19. The guy tries to come across as charming.

It's really disgusting when you know his background. He might be a nice guy to hang out with if he wasn't such a dick.

[Catshrink]

17. Thank you for your courage!

Excellent work, arcadian!

:yourock:

[Arctic Dave]

18. You have my respect and admiration.

[arcadian]

20. Thanks everybody for your support!

Means a lot to me and I know it means a lot to everybody who turned out today!

[dana_b]

21. Great job!

That is the way to get to them. Keep pushing their faces in it - every time they go somewhere to speak. Every time they go out in public. f***ers.

[Hissyspit]

22. God, what a piece of shit he is.

Although he didn't "own" Jon Stewart, Jon did a terrible job with that interview. I'm not sure why. He just seemed really unprepared.

Thanks for the pics! Sorry I couldn't be there.

[PA Democrat]

24. Thank you. That cretin deserves to be protested and heckled everywhere he goes.

[arcadian]

25. We're trying.

If his lecture was any indication of what's in his book. It truly sucks. Droning on and on about past Presidents, reading a wikipedia article about the info would have been more entertaining. Yoo, asked the audience a few questions during, one was "When polled, which President rates as the worst, last 15 years not included?" Not kidding, he actually had that caveat "not in the last 15 years". I yelled out "Buchanan!" Yoo, says, "Yup, that's correct!" I learned that one on DU.

[EFerrari]

26. Sweeeeeet! Nice going!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

38. We will not forget. The American people and the media hounds should not be allowed to forget.

[scentopine]

39. Those who give Yoo shelter are as guilty as he is, they have blood on their hands -nt

[Stardust]

40. Did you know that you're my hero? The valiant few who represent

those of us who can't or won't protest. Thank you so very much!
