Hillary not bitter
Bill not bitter

JFK brought blacks into the dem. party

Bill and Hillary will run every minority away to the GOP

GOP will lead for another 8 years

Where is the grace

Oh yes, Bitter sore loosers.

To Totally neutral:
You say that Bush has done nothing without Congress' approval.
Where have you been???
Have you not heard of his "Executive signings"?
Are you unaware of his appointments while Congress isn't in session?
Have you not heard that he has lied repeatedly to Congress (as well as the American citizens)?

To several others:
Do you really believe that liberal Democrats are the only citizens that are mourning our lost rights?
By Republicans standards, Bush can't even be called a Republican.
Their platform USED to be: smaller government, fiscally conservative, with more personal freedoms, not less.

To me, the only thing more frightening than having Bush in office, is to realize that there are that many ignorant people votering in our country!
If you are going to vote, and I hope you do, please do some research and make your vote an informed one!

Good! Their so called hate-filled ramblings represent the frustration of millions of Americans fed up with a president who DOES NOT and WILL NOT represent the majority of his constituents. Love it.

Bush should be tried for murder, convicted and then executed. He is nothing more than a criminal and should be dealth with accordingly. I am so very sick of looking at his stupid face. I am really counting the days until he is gone.

It's a good thing that as we celebrate Independence Day here in America, we know that our country continues to uphold and respect the freedom of speech guaranteed to its citizens by the founding fathers in the Bill of Rights…

*watches video of guards dragging protesters away

Oh, hmm…okay, well, at least America still has the best hot dogs in the world!

Shame on you CNN! For only showing the Republican and Democratic candidates in your "Election Center".

California has a GREEN PARTY and in that state Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez are running. THIS IS NEWS!

Shame on you for fooling americans into thinking that they only have two choices.

Why not do an analysis on how every hungry person and homeless person in this country could be fed and housed if OBAMA spent his multi millions on it instead of blowing that on an election?

P.S. – I love how there are EXXON MOBILE ads on your election center! I like to know who owns our votes!!

YOU ELECT HIM YOU VOTE FOR HIM NOW DEAL WITH HIM YOU ALL KNOW IS NOT WRIGHT TO BE THE PRESIDENT BUT YOU GUYS VOTE FOR HIM. NOW THIS WILL MAKE AMERICAN PEOPLE THINK MORE THAN 100 TIMES BEFORE THEY CAST VOTE FOR ANYBODY.

AMERICANS ARE PIGS. PERIOD.
OOOPS, my bad… AMERICANS ARE IGNORANT, LAZY, STUPID PIGS.

EAM the dittohead uses at least thirty names on here.Ha ha ha

Regarding Bush and the protesters:

As much as I despise this demented freak of nature, I know that he too loves this country dearly. He can't differentiate the country from the symbols, the constitution from corporatocracy , but I think somewhere in the part of his brain which has not degenerated to reptilian, he may have a vestigial sense of 'us'. That wee little bit was speaking to those new citizens, welcoming them to our beloved shores, presenting the open arms we all spread.

As a welcomer, he represented us all. I don't care what level of retard he is, he was my doorman to greet these new members of our society.

To mar this occasion with protests against the man when he was trying his best to be the greeter for the nation is inexcusable.

Where on Earth has our sense of decency and decorum gone? A republic as old as ours should be able to display a little grace, particularly on occasions such as this.

Is this too difficult a concept for people to grasp? That regardless of what one may think of the messenger, it's the message he's carrying that counts.

From what I've read, Bush responded that the newcomers were experiencing America's free speech firsthand. Then the free speechers were hauled away in handcuffs. Oh, my Sweet Flaming Jesus, what has become of us.

BruceR

Not only should these citizens have been removed for disrupting a presidential speech, but heckling the president while he is giving a 4th of July speech is outright unpatriotic. Protesting would be a good way to exercise freedom of speech, not slandering America's leader from the crowd on independence day.

Someone wrote:
"Bush went to war – who approved it? Congress
Bush signed the Patriot Act.
Who approved it? Congress"

That's right. The Republicans and the Dems are owned by the same corporate interests. Until we get third parties in the arena, we have no hope for a larger debate!

And Actually, Barbara Lee of Oakland did not vote for the war! Don't forget!!!

To all the Bush supporters above:

What is it you are so scared of that you feel Bush is the only answer for? That you are so willing to give up your rights and freedom for? That you are willing to give up our dignity for? That you feel anyone who doesn't think like you is at fault for?

Stop paying your taxes. I haven't paid since this illegal war started! They will notice when they aren't getting money! No money for guns, bombs and murdering people! I give all money I would give to taxes to local charities!

The president did not appear to acknowledge the protesters. Ah yah he did, he said in this country we have freedom of speech,,, You know as any one who said thing aginst him were dragged away by the Secret Police,,,FREE SPEECH what a joke!!

How many thousands of innocent children, woman, old, young, helpless, defenseless, Iraqis people have died so that America might have access to the world's second largest oil reserve?

Who are the people responsible for all this murder?

Those people should not go unpunished!

Bush was not elected to first term. His daddy got him in.

GW is no war criminal, his VP wanted just Iraq for the oil it has. Remember the secret meetings with the oil guys back when ?? How much is gas today from 2001 ???

EPA deliberately witholding the health hazards that are now killing first responders on 9/11.Ignoring warnings about hurricane Katrina,going missing for 5 days before bothering to show up.Abandoning most of them even now.Commiting most military resources for his personal war in Iraq instead of continuing an all-out pursuit of the man that actually killed americans on american soil and spending more than a half a TRILLION dollars on the fallacy of "winning the war on terror".A million american families losing their homes.Oil prices that are destroying business after business and unemployment the highest seen in decades and rising every day.The Midwest drowning in flood water and destroying crops as well as the homes of uncounted more americans while he was on his farwell tour.

The man and his administration have been the greatest tragedy this country has seen since the Civil War.He should be tried and executed,not merely heckled!

To all you people calling these protesters "Obama supporters":

NEWSFLASH!

We all hated Bush long before Obama become the next presidential hopeful. Bush is the worst president this country has ever had, and that FACT has nothing to do with whether or not Obama will win the next election.

The current administration has done more to stifle freedom of speech in America than any of its predecessors. For his illegal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, for sacrificing the city of New Orleans and for the continuing violation of human rights at home and abroad, George Bush deserves to be heckled at the very least.

Call the President a War Criminal! How very intelligent! Freedom of speech has no bounds, or does it? If the "N" word is used, it is not freedom of speech, it is racist or worse. If you are going to fall back on the the constitution for what you want to say, everybody should have the same freedom; or no one should. Freedom for all; not just for some. Not very original, but it works.

Do you socialist lefties know any facts at all, or do you just spew the same hate that you hear from your friends. I'm sure these professional protesters were planted by code pink and move on just to get attention. NOBAMA – Keep the change!!!!!

To all the people saying these protesters, not "hecklers," need to get a life…you need to learn your history. If Thomas Jefferson were alive today he'd give them his full support.

The freedom of speech we enjoy is not absolute. It must be excercised in the proper place at the proper time. Hecklers are ALWAYS dragged out, no matter who they're heckling, because they choose to try to excersie their freedoms at the wrong time. All that being said, it's about time Bush starts to hear from the people instead of the fat old men, like Rove, who have surrounded him during his administration. Hopefully, history will treat him with fairness, and represent him for what he is. A president who, through personal ego and arrogance, has almost ruined this country. I sincerely hope that once he leaves office, he is prosecuted often and repeatedly, so he can feel some of the misery he has given to the American people. If he ever drives down my street, I will be sure to let him know of my opinion of him….with a raw egg or two….

If you don't like Our President's policies; that were backed by some "turn-coat" DemocRATS, then shut-up and leave this country……..maybe you could move to Iraq, they will welcome you there!

I can't wait until Obama becomes president and I can protest him. Oh wait, I can't, I'll be called racist!!

to all that are mad,upset and bad mouthing The President. Try PARYING for him and out nation.

bush does not dictate to congress he can plead his case but ultimately congress republicans and democrats decide. so lets all share the blame where it's due and while were at it maybe thank them for keeping the other terrorist out of this country. maybe while you think of what to do with all the negative inside you you can count all the hundred of thousands of people saddam didn't get to kill because he was running for his life. and maybe you can say a prayer for all those who died at the hands of people like him it's easy to blame and point fingers when you sit snug and protected in your house hypocrite

Dissent is patriotism. Disrespect is not.

By expressing their "right to free speech" in this manner the hecklers were infringing upon that of President Bush which is why they were removed. I have yet to see a story about how the secret service is stopping public gatherings critical of the President so no one has actually lost their freedom of speech.

Also hecklers have been removed from speeches given by Obama and Clinton since the beginning of this campaign.

I love it when people speak out against what they consider to be injustice. I think it is wonderful. I do, however believe it needs to be done respectfully.

Of course Kool Aid sipping brain washed libs don't see it like that. You want to say what you want when you want how you want and you don't care whose rights you trample in the process.

Wow there are some really negative democRATs on this blog.

I think that our SOCIALIST loving democRATs are leaning more towards COMMUNISM every day. Just look at their policies!!

Worst President Ever (and I don't make that statement lightly) has no business giving a speech at Monticello. It's these Hecklers right to look and sound foolish, but no sympathy for Bush, he deserves every grey hair on his head, counting the days until January 20th, 2009!

1+1=2; bush is the biggest loser in history

i challenge anyone to argue otherwise about these two basic facts of life.

Wish I could have been there to join in with the Hecklers. I can't believe how many on this blog still support Bush. Must be quite a handicapp to be able to see only one color (ROSE) in spite of the Black Pit of Inequity Bush has pulled all Americans into!

If any President deserves to be heckled, it is George W. Bush. What a total hypocrite! He is a disgrace to the presidency and to this country! Bravo to the hecklers! Boo to those brain dead peons who haul away hecklers! The constitution is again being violated by punishing hecklers who are supposed to have free speech rights. It's too bad that more Americans don't have the guts and intelligence to vote for a Presidential candidate who is not a part of the establishment in Washington — like Ralph Nader.

Hey Slider,

If you are so concerned with Iraq, why don't you move over there and do something beside cheerlead for BushCo.

Idiot.

Some of you folks obviously have a political agenda. You make up stuff to make the man look bad. Pathetic. While there is free speech in this country….there are limits. The people who attended the speech had a right to hear the speaker they came to hear. If the protesters wanted to be heard, they should have set up their own speech….out by the dumpsters!

Too bad he wasn't appearing at his sentencing in the Hague for his crimes against America, instead of being at Monticello trying to wrap himself in the flag.

What a sad state of affairs that protesters feel the need to besmirch our patriotic holiday. Just because you disagree with one's policies does not mean that you need to punish the rest of the people with your immature antics.

I am so glad it's one less day of this President's term. I'm so thankful it's one less day of this Vice President's term. I understand the outrage many citizens feel. Some people seize the opportunity to air their feelings directly to those responsible for this current state of affairs and shout out. I understand the outrage many citizens feel when blogging. Thankfully this news article was posted. Much better than filling bandwidth with staged pictures of this President and fluffy pictures of his doing something patriotic with adoring crowds cheering him on.

He should be lucky the salmonella scare has cleared the grocery stores of tomatoes. LOL.

I bet all these people who hate Obama are sore losers all across the board. They couldn't lose well in a game of Monopoly. People, Hillary told so many lies on the campaign trail and was caught in those lies as she told them!! We need Hillary? I'd rather a presidential candidate realize he has miscalculated on certain policies than to tell a flat lie about what you did on a certain day to make you sound more qualified than you are. At least Barack acknowledges that he doesn't know all the answers. I really don't have a problem with Hillary. Aside from the lies I think she would be a good president but don't hate Barack because he beat her!!! Bunch of freakin babies. She lost a month ago!!!!!!!!

PS- You folks that think the president is a war criminal and should be impeached ought to make it happen. The Democratic-Socialist Party controls congress. Wouldn't they have the votes? Oh yeah, lest we forget, they keep mysteriously voting for his war policy!

The worst president in history deserves to be heckled and that's the truth!

How soon people forget that the President, CONGRESS AND THE SENATE all authorized the war. No major attacks here since 9/11/01.

If we aren't so lucky with the next administration, these same lemmings will be begging for Bush to come back.

Modern liberalism is not a "disease." Rather it is perennial adolescence. It looks at the world through utopian lenses and ignores both human nature and thousands of years of history. Yell and scream when you don't like something. Have a tantrum when things don't go your way. Mock your elected leaders when you're in disagreement. Push for state collectivism, but call the president a Nazi or fascist. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Hey folks, big surprise here, but your president is not moving out of the country (liberals did threaten to run away when he was elected–twice). He's not going on trial. He's not going to jail. He works within the framework of a constitutional government and has limited power, remember? Congress has much more authority. My suggestion- cover your ears and hold your breath until November. You're really going to be raving mad if McCain is elected.

"The president did not appear to acknowledge the protesters."
He does not appear to acknowledge 99% of the country.

If someone yelled, "you tax-raising, corrupt, anti-American socialist" at an Obama speech, you can bet they'd cart him off too.

Bush has not been a great president, but his failure has been his willingness to weaken his positions in the face of opposition rather than strengthen them. We should send more forces to the Middle East, we should have much lower taxes to avoid recession, etc. Obama will not get elected because the uneducated and emotional people who support him are not numerous enough to send us into anoher Jimmy Carter debacle.

I hope that he and his gang (Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Rove) are brought to justice one day and convicted. They are war criminal and have the blood of 4113 American soldiers and thousands of Iraqi on their dirty hands.

Nice to see the TRUE patriots in our country getting coverage today.

retired man July 4th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Bush went to war – who approved it? Congress
Bush signed the Patriot Act.
Who approved it? Congress
In the first six years of his administration gas went up a
dollar– what changed in the past 2 years to cause the price of gas to double in that amount of time? Congress

If those of you who believe that the President is a War Criminal – what does that leave the members of Congress who voted to go?

and yea – the lying thing -if that were true – why did some congressmen like Jay Rockerfeller say that there was not enough information to go to war- In other words — if he lied – why did so many people say that the US should not go to war?

Those of you who are claiming that the US is now a terrible plac e-you miss the whole irony of this post – they disrupped a ceremony to bring in New Citizens…. if we are so horrible – why are they having such a problem processing the paperwork for all of the people who want to become Americans?
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

QFT

what did we do with the german leaders after WWii for invading countries???? why should this be any different. Iraq and 911 had zero in common except both have costs lives of our young soldiers. when you lie to start a war that does this kind of damage what should you do???

Was it legal for the secret service to hall away the protestors? Weren't the protestors simply exercising their 1st amendment rights? I hope the ACLU jumps all over this one.

Boorish behavior and even more boorish comments. Simple courtesy has vanished in the USA, by all evidence, to be replaced by the demented ranting of a few vocal malcontents. This is disrespectful of the Office of the President, and to have it occur at this solemn ceremony is simply disgraceful.

"Benedict Arnold" = "BUSH"

Moderate away, boys. You can't cover for Obama forever. Sooner or later he's gonna have to swim or sink on his own.

What a travesty that our dear, clueless Commander in Chief should pick such a time and place to demonstrate the jackbooted skills of his thugs in suits? I'm sure a few of the new would-be citizens are wondering if they really left whatever right forsaken countries they may have come from.

How about all who think the invasion of Iraq was a good thing, you put yourselves on the next plane over without delay? Oh yes, Georgie boy liberated Iraq but at what cost…thousands of dead civilians who simply wanted to live their lives, basic services non existant, just because Saddam is gone, it doesn't mean the world is free of dictators.

You who think Obama = an Islamic run government, how would an Islamic ban on free speech be any different than a Bush ban on free speech? In the end the result is the same.

John Adams said " Dare to speak, read and think the truth " . May God bless those who had the spine to stand up and protest.

It is a citizen's right and duty to question the government. It is a citizen's right to bring a president or any other elected offical to task for wrong doing. This president has lied to the American people and to those of you who say Congress authorized the war yes they did but on false information and lies. The one I have always felt bad for was Colin Powell he was made to look like an idiot before the United Nations by telling them we had positive proof of Iraq's WMDs when it was known by the president and his cronie's that that was a lie. I still don't understand why this man(Bush) has not been impeached. Why in the name of justice will Congress impeach a president for lying about an affiar but won't when this president's actions have risen to the level of "high crimes and misdimeaners

I hope these Code Pink Obamists live very long lives to a very old age. I hope that they suffer every debilitating condition know to humankind in that old age and that they die miserable and in pain.

History will show President Bush to be one of the greatest president's ever. The people disrupting the festivities today are morons, clear and simple.

Hey "retired man," you need to bring your brain back online. Bush LIED to Congress and the WORLD to get us into this stupid war. He is a liar, a murderer, and a huge MORON!!! Get a clue. War criminal is too nice a title for G.W. PERIOD. Can't wait 'till this clown is out of office and Barak takes over so he can start to pull America back in the direction it belongs.

G.W. is the WORST president we've ever had and will probably retain that title for centuries.

Obama 08 & 12

I'm sure he is used to being know as the worst President ever, but then again he may not get that either. God Bless America!!!!!!!!!

Bush IS a War Criminal who brought Fascism to our shores. I'm just glad that the American people have had enough of his lies, deceit, cronyism and ineptitude to speak out about his failed Reich. Can't wait to see him out of the White House and in court on charges of Treason, War Profiteering, and Criminal Conduct Unbecoming a President. Good Riddance, Bush, you moron!

okay congress voted to go to war with Afganistan not Iraq. The rise of gas is due to an inflated dollar and increase demand thats not something that has happened over 2 years it takes an entire presidential term to go from surplus to negative and weaken the dollar congress didnt do that…if the President violated the geneva convention terms then he is a war criminal. no one says that America is a terrible place to live be want to preserve what America stands for!!

Mccain or Obama is an improvement over bush…

but Obama can bring a better reflection of America back to the world!

New Dem…we don't need to call those that supported the war from the beginning "war criminals". STUPID may be a more appropriate term!

Congress voted according to what information they were given at the time. So did the Senate, remember Hillary said "If I knew then what I know now"……Why would anyone support a war on such vague information. Her "experience" ….well she had a brain freeze like John McCain.

If you can hardly wait until Bushs is tried as a war criminal, why wait?

Hurry up, do it, do it today!

"Abamanation" – you need to learn more about other countries. Here is a short list of nations for you to start with on your journey. They all have more freedom than the USA AND a higher standard of living:

Canada, Ireland, UK, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Japan, Australia, New Zealand

Start with those. And lose the whole "USA is better than any other country" brainwashing. It's only another trick used by the republicans to keep you down.

Waterboard Bush.

By far the worst president in my lifetime………………Osama Bin Laden killed 4,000 Americans with his terrorist attacks….How does Bush respond,by sending another 4,000 Americans to die in a senseless war…..The GOP is supposed to be against big government yet this administration has taken away all of our civil liberties…..That lady has a right to free speech…..Up until now I was an undecided independent,but recent events have forced me to definitely vote for Barack Obama…..At least he's willing to talk first before sending our troops to fight

Poor, President Bush, he's the victim. Now, he has a very, very slight idea as to how the people of Iraq feel, since he and his Neocons visited the brutalization of their nation !! He might even have thought of paying respect to our fallen soldiers in Iraq, and the many wounded by a visit to Arlington National Cemetery. Instead, he does something he has done so infrequently during his tenure in Office, speak before the people of this nation, not only military bases and Republican functions. All of a sudden, his appearance draws flies, so to speak, and he is surprised and mouths, platitudes. Free speech, than why give the Telecoms immunity !! Mr. President, you are speaking, freely, out of both sides of your mouth !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Show some sense people. It is not just what they were saying that got them booted out, but the fact that they were interrupting a ceremony. If someone had stood up and sang "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Weener" at the top of their lungs, they too would have been hauled out. These people had a right to speak-out, though there is a time and a place. Suzy is correct that this was a disrespectful statement to those people the ceremony was really for. Thank you for speaking some sanity into the situation.
And Ms. Serrano, and those who likewise commented things like: "… only in America will you be escorted out if you don't agree." I'm afraid you don't know much about the rest of the world. In many countries that would be the end of your road… and the whole thing would be censured out so that no one knew about the event or the person.
The people taken away had a right to express their views, but it should be no surprise or outrage that doing so in this manner got them kicked-out of a formal ceremony. I'm sure they expected no less before doing so.

Liberals are living proof that pubic schools are not the best answer. See the protester, public schooling.

What a disgrace that George Bush would have the arrogant disrespect to show up at the home of a founding father of this country. He should be heckled all the way out of the US. He already has the historical legacy of a traitor of the highest order.

IN RESPONSE TO:

REPUB OF LA: So u want obama to raise your taxes and mess up the best health care in the world, r -u nuts people? As 4 the protesters , they probably never worked hard in their life, everything given to them since day 1-!!!

TO REPUB OF LA:

TURN ON CNBC.

1) LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY
2) LOOK AT THE JOB NUMBERS
3) LOOK AT THE GREENBACK VALUE
4) LOOK AT THE FUTURES INDEX
5) LOOK AT THE NATIONAL DEBT
6) LOOK AT OUR BUDGET DEFICITS

And tell me WHO'S NUTS? Make a NEW argument other than the usual GOP lines of attack that you just used (which have already been proven to be NOTHING but campaign SLOGANS) and tell the American people why they should keep the Status Quo?

We should all be thankful that someone has the nerve to stand up to this war criminal. This president deserves no respect. No respect for him, cheney, helms, or any other bigots.

bush is a liar and anyone who thinks different is an idiot.

Why do people think that Obama somehow put these folks up to this? Bush has been heckled before. This started way before Obama was even on the radar. It's just too bad that they only have enough time to blurt out simplistic phrases. What really needs to be said on the matter could fill a book…

Sounds like the protester was petioning her government for redress. Oops, my error. That was contained in something that is now obsolete under this administration. Just for fun… take out your dictionary and look up the definition of "Fascist".

Bush is planning his exile in Paraguay when his term is over. Just watch and see. His land is perched over a huge fresh water aquifer. The upcoming oil wars will be nothing, compared to the future water wars. He is a corrupt pig.

What a bunch of idiots. This is just as inappropriate as the idiot in Denver yesterday that sang a "black national anthem" instead of our National Anthem.. Inappropriate, selfish, jerks.

Freedom of speech is great, but no matter what they say, who cares anymore. He's out of office in a few months. Give it a rest already.

there is a small typo……'The President was talking part'

you meant "was taking part"

What a shameful way for any American to act in public, regardless of your politics, or what your sentiments are towards the President. Free speech is great. Allow a public dignitary to have his chance at free speech. Then you can politely have yours with a sign and silent march. Which behavior do you think would be most accepted? Which crowd do you think would be "heard" and at least respected for appropriate behavior?
I taught kindergarten, first, and second grade. I would have a difficult time explaining the crowd's behavior to the children. If the behavior isn't appropriate for small children, it's not appropriate for their elders.

Repub of LA, are you serious? Best Health Care in the world? We are number 37 or something according to recent reports. Just look at that video of the old woman dying in the hospital lobby!

You neo-cons need to stop using the "We work hard" argument, everyone works hard in this country, including liberals.

Dont vote for a Texas politician for President…..Lyndon B. Johnson….Vietnam
King George W. Bush Afganistan, Iraq and Iran

Dont vote for a Texas politician for President…..Lyndon B. Johnson….Vietnam

"John C. (Buddy) Schow-Chicago, Il July 4th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

All of the morons that continue to brag about Bush and how we haven't been attacked since 9/11/01 need to consider one thing. NEVER had we been attacked on the scale of 9/11/01 UNTIL Bush became president."
____________________________________

Ever hear of Pearl Harbor, idiot?

yeah we have free speech. but everyone that is congratulating these immature adults for yelling during a non political speech are crazy. we have free speech, but go start a blog, don't yell during his time, have some respect.

everyone was congratulating bush when he decided to go to war, but oh when were not doing so well the whole country goes against him. compare his term to other presidents. he has had a lot more put onto him than other presidents. for the circumstances things could've been a lot worse. hey, we could've had Saddam with tanks in new york is he sat back and had a beer instead.

Dave…

The only spoiled brats here are neo-conservatives like you, who thump Bibles and outdated political ideas in the name of progress. What strategy has Bush set? Al-Qaeda is operating nearly at the same level they were before, all because Bush and his administration decided to direct focus from Afghanistan to Iraq. Osama Bin Laden, mastermind of the attacks, is still on the run and is probably planning more attacks daily.

Bush is not responsible for our security, the attacks themselves set our high standard of security we have today.

Liberals do have brains, in fact, the majority of intellectuals are liberals, the only ones without brains are Neo-cons.

You "bush-bashers" are hilarious.

You claim that you stand for Free Speech but then attempt to stop anyone you hate from exercising that Right.

Meanwhile, the people from your own Party are putting up a fence at their upcoming convention to keep you from doing the very thing these hecklers tried to do to Bush and the attendees.

You truly are sorry lot.

.

We are losing this country to the tyranny of the Bush Administration, who has done more damage than terrorists ever could.

Free speech? Dissent? Our forefathers believed strongly in these. What has happened to those Americans who continue to support this petty dictator?

Will this be printed? Or will the FBI show up at my door? It's a free country, right?

Slider-why don't you tell it to the graves of the 3000 that died on 9-11
that the man responsible for their deaths is running around free, and we invaded a country that had nothing to do with it. You idiot

This is supposed to be America. I can't believe these people are forcefully taken by Secret Service or anyone. We have the RIGHT to protest peacefully. NO ONE in that video was violent in the LEAST. One guy was pulled BACKWARDS off something that he was standing on.

It's like Communist China here more and more; Bush is a criminal and a fascist. Anyone with a brain who is paying attention knows that. He is the worst President in American History. I will rejoice when he is gone forever. Look at the statistics! Most Americans feel the same way!

President Bush in the Mid 1990's on being governor of Texas.

"You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier."

Well, he is a war criminal. there are so many young men and women who lost their lives in this war that was based on a big fat lie. These young people gave their lives for what? Their gone. Families have been torn apart. There are many disabled, and homeless veterans from this current Iraq war.

Then we have John McCain who doesn't want to give veterans 4 yrs of college after 3 yrs of service. What kind of mess is that? This war was for Oil. It is a shame, Bush and cronies need to be charged as war criminals. No more Republicans. Barack the vote!

"Bravo" retired man, you right.It was not possible for such of men to destroy the great hope named USA.He worked with your Congress.
Why they still need to become Americans?…for their dreams.
Is not enough?
What else?
God bless America!

It is shocking how hate-filled liberals have become. Their zealotry of non-liberals is on par with the views of radical Muslims toward non-Muslims. It is difficult to know which to fear more… those who wish to destroy America from the outside, or those wishing to destroy it from within!

Dissent is fine. Protesting is fine. We should all appreciate those who fought and died to give the citizens of this country the rights and privileges that come with citizenship, especially on this day.

But WHY? WHY?, disrupt the naturalization ceremony for these fine people who believe so much in this country and what it stands for that they came here….LEGALLY…and worked hard to become citizens?
How about a little respect? How would you like it if I came to, let's say, your wedding, or your graduation, or your mother's funeral, and made a jerk of myself?

As I already said, protesting is fine, but take it to appropriate places and events.

While I disagree with such rudeness, it seems that today, our politicians offer the common citizen very few opportunities to really be heard. If they have taken a position, they seem to ignore poll numbers that are in strong disagreement… and they rationalize their positions with explanations that leadership sometimes means moving against the tide.

However, there are majore concerns such as balancing a budget, or the trillions of dollars of money owed to social security and the looming federal pensions and medicare.

Is there no way for our leaders to stop running for office constantly, establishing their legacies, and finding ways to spend tax money back in the areas where the votes are counted?

It is unfortunate that people are not respectful of the president…especially on the 4th of July. But it is even more unfortunate that our politicians often to not tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to the American citizens. Lacking that level of trust, it is not surprising that people begin to take freedom into their own hands. As the politicians often tell the media, the public is collectively very aware. And has been patient until recently. Now when they begin to speak up, our elected officials should begin to listen or the voices will get louder until they do.

LOOK AT THE WOMAN REAL CLOSE AND YOU WILL SEE WHY SHE WAS HECKLING A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. THE ONLY ONE GOOD ENOUGH TO SET THESE KIND OF THINGS UP IS NONE OTHER THAN THE ALPHA AND OMEGA OF THE AAs. WHAT A STUPID REMARK. YES IF PRESIDENT BUSH WAS FOOLED ON THE WMDs THAT WIPED OUT WHOLE VILLAGES IN IRAQ. THE WEAPONS OF GAS THAT HUSSAIN USED ON THEM THAT'S WHAT. WHAT DO YOU THINK OUR TROOPS SUFFERED WITH WHEN THEY CAME BACK FROM DESERT STORM. WAR IS HELL. NO ONE EVER EXPECTS IT TO BE ANYTHING ELSE. TAKE IT FROM ME I WAS IN NAM TWICE SERVING MY COUNTRY IN MY 28-YEARS OF PATRIOTIC SERVICE. I AM NOT A HERO. THOSE SOLDIERS THAT FELL AROUND ME AND BESIDE ME WERE THE HEROS. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAD TO LISTEN TO WHAT WAS GOING ON IN AMERICA. WITH ALL THE PEOPLE RUNNING TO CANADA. ONES BURNING THEIR DRAFT CARDS AND THE PRESS KILLING US AS WE TRIED IN VAIN TO WIN A WAR OF HUMANITY. INSTEAD WE WERE JERKED OUT AND LEFT THOUSANDS TO BE SLAUGHTERED. THE SAME WILL HAPPEN IN IRAQ. BECAUSE NO ONE DIDN'T FIND WMDs DOESN'T MEAN A DARN THING. THEY WERE THERE. IT IS A HOT BED FOR TERRORIST. HUSSAIN DID SUPPORT BIN LADEN. A COMMON FACT KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE MILITARY IF YOU HAD ENOUGH RANK TO KNOW. IF YOU PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE STOMACH TO GO AFTER THESE MURDERERS THAT KILLED OUR FELLOW CITIZENS ON 911 THEN GET THE DICKENS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY. LIKE THE SCREAMING WOMAN YOU CAN BET SHE HAS NO ONE IN THE SERVICE. BESIDES I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL THE NON SOLDIERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT IS STILL A ALL VOLUNTEER SERVICE. YOU DON'T WANT TO GO AND ARE COWARDS THEN DON'T JOIN THE HELL UP. IN THE MEANTIME SHUT UP AND VOTE FOR OBAMA. HE'LL SAVE YOU. HE'S GOT THE PLAN FOR A GREAT CHANGE IN AMERICA. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH HIS PLAN HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOW WHAT IT IS. MAYBE IT'S REZKO FOR SECRETARY OF THE TREASURE AND THE REV. WRIGHT FOR SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. OH DON'T FORGET PLEGHER HE'LL MAKE HIM OVER THE JANITORIAL DEPT. AT THE WHITE HOUSE. YOU KNOW HE'S WHITE. OR I COULD BE WRONG AND REALLY NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS. In the meantime the Americans need to quit yelling about bringing our troops out of the middle east. we need to stay for the sake of America staying a country. Especially the country we love. Don't let people like Obama destroy it.

I don't know about Bush being a fascist or bringing fascism to America. He may well be a war criminal; that remains to be discovered and proved. I think he probably is a war criminal as is Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Rice. What George W. Bush is for sure is a moron, a perfect idiot. And he has caused more harm to this country than any enemy ever did or has.

George Bush is a war criminal and will burn in hell for all the innocent people who have died needlessly on his watch, due to his incompetence and outright evil intent.

He was too busy cutting brush to read a briefing about the upcoming terror attacks. He was too intent on avenging a threat on his dad's life to care that thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis would die. And now he's rattling his sabre at Iran.

And only ONE PERSON has the GUTS to call him on it?!

This isn't about Obama, McCain or Clinton. This is about AMERICA.

In other countries around the world, people take to the streets when they're upset with their government. And often these governments listen because they know they serve on the whim of the people. They're afraid of the power of the people. In America, the people are afraid of the government.

Something for us ALL to think about on this Independence Day.

To: SLIDER @ 5:27PM
The survey says: Iraqis, looking back, overwhelmingly preferred life under Hussein. All of the infrastructure (utilities, food supply, etc) was functioning, Christians were free to practice their religion and you didn't live with the constant stress that war creates.

Happy 4th of July America !!!!

Love how the right wing feel they can abuse the 1st Amendment and cry foul play each time any one else speaks up….

So why was so many afraid of letting the president of Iran speak, when so many are willing to let Bush speak ??

Dave, Illinois, so when Americans get attacked in Iraq or some where else it is not attacking America ?? We are by no means any safer then we were in 2000, rather we are more unsafe, a lot more terrorist out there now and a lot more people hate us… Even our allies in Europe are loosing their power.

Spidey, What allies ??, i think the far right wing, like you, are wacked… Just look at the pastors preaching hate and war against the muslim world…

Typical disrespectful scum of the earth. Not the place or the time for such rhetoric.

Bush deserved everything he got and more. And to you that hate Obama so, and want to put the blame on him. First those hecklers were not youths and neither were they Black. Besides this posting is on Bush and how you got over to Obama is beyond me or anyone with good common sense.

No one is going to beg you to vote for Obama, that is your choice.
Go sign up for the armed forces on Monday, and maybe mccain, can make sure you will be the next ones in line to go to war.

Wow, what a bunch of brainless Obama crybabies at this site. Bush did this and Bush did that. And kiddies, do you know how you can tell when NOBAMA is lying? His lips are moving.

"Hmmm? Looks like someone forgot to take out the trash." – The trash gets taken out January 20, 2009. Good riddens to bad rubbish. Hopefully our next President will be admired and not despised by his country and the world at large.

The worst president in our country's history. It will take generations to right his wrongs.

"Those of you who are claiming that the US is now a terrible plac e-you miss the whole irony of this post – they disrupped a ceremony to bring in New Citizens…. if we are so horrible – why are they having such a problem processing the paperwork for all of the people who want to become Americans?"

Its not terrible compared to many places, but its a sad shadow of what this country used to be and what it used to stand for. Lets hope that our path changes soon, as many have said above, our founding fathers would be incredibly disappointed at what we've become. They hoped to evade many of these problems by creating the country and government however did not anticipate that so many liberties would be stripped and that so many areas of government would fail to protect them.

LISTEN UP!

i have a musician friend who recently traveled to UK for a gig.

at the Boston airport, the security / police demanded him to give up on his books, which were not exactly pro-Bush-co, or else.

they said to him, "you can't bring those books into the airplane. you have choices: give them up or you can't board."

he argued fot his constitutional right, but to no avail. he had to give up the books for the trip!

"free speech" my arse, George Fascist War-criminal Moron Bush!

his mom should be ashamed of herself for giving birth to such disgrace to humanity!

you bet he's gonna sue the authorities! stay tuned!

I like the way he tells “his fellow citizens…we believe in free speech in the United States of America” while his goon squad hauls them away.

Wonder how those folks will feel with a muslim president?

Here's the problem… If Obama gets elected, and Dems control the house and senate, WHO are the liberals going to focus their incessant hatred on?

They might actually have to start thinking for a change, instead of relying on the drumbeat of hate.

To hear your two sides -"Democrats" and "Republican" go at each other, at this rate you will all get to enjoy something you know so well from the past.. civil war. Do you forget the pictures of Bill Clinton walking between George and George with big smile on their faces? These guys are family friends, mocking all of you. Hillary in power wouldn't stop the war. You have Obama talking about "service." Folks, you are going to get drafted for the REAL BIG ONE, whether you vote democrat or republican.

If you want to do something about it, DO IT – stop whining on the Internet. Has it done anything in the past 8 years? I think not!

PS: Please don't use depleted uranium ammunition on each other, I'd prefer not to have MORE of your waste filling the air over my country and killing my country(wo)men.

anytime pig bush is heckled is a good day in america; he wasn't even elected in the first place he was shoved in by his supreme court buddies;
then he allowed 9 11 to happen so he could start his failed war'impeach the pig

Limbaugh and his followers should also be in prison for backing the dictator.

to all of you 20 percent bush people…..you are either an Idiot or have just come out of a Coma……or work for the Federal Gov. they are all the same.

McCain will not take the U.S. out of Iraq. Obama will not take the U.S. out of Iraq. Cynthia McKinney will take the U.S. out of Iraq.

Question your allegiance to the two-party system. Vote for REAL change.

Vote GREEN in 2008!

The President may not have "acknowledged" the protesters but he certainly hesitated and appeared a bit off afterward., so he knew they were there. I wish you people in the press would Stop portraying this little man as some kind of stoic hero. He is one of the most undemocratic presidents in recent history, and you in the press have enabled him. It's time to stop, the game is over.

Of course he didn't acknowledge them, he couldn't comprehend what they were saying.

The President was heckled McCain was heckled…. maybe their on to something here………

BARACK THE VOTE PEOPLE……………..

so much for free speech

I am amazed that some people on this forum are blaming Obama for the heckler! Those people need a life!

I Like Them! They look so Sexy!

you bet Bush co have already bought properties in countries without extradition treaties with anyone, those that you can't find even in
a good map.

you better believe that they're all packed and ready to bug out any moment. they ill-gotten money is all squarreled away in some unknown bank accounts of some unknown island nation

they can run, but they won't be able to hide long enough!

IMPEACH BUSH

Freedom of expression absolutely rocks.

all those screaming for impeachment should have been screaming at Nancy Pelosi for the ast 2 years.I think she is the head of the Democratic party that has said "impeachment is off the table"—but you still support her along with all the other weaklings.

retired man.

I agree 100% with you. Great point about Congress.

For the people that think the USA is so bad, there is a very easy fix for that. Pack your s*it and move to another country.

YES PLEASE BRING BUSH AND CREW UP ON CHARGES!

OR HAVE BUSH,CHENEY AND RICE AND ALL OF THEIR BOG OIL AND BIG MONEY WARMONGERING BRETHEREN LEAVE OUR WONDERFUL COUNTRY !

TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT WHEN IT IS DOING WRONG AND FOR NOT HONORING THE WILL OF ITS PEOPLE IS THE MOST PATRIOTIC THING THAT YOU CAN DO!

THESE PEOPLE ARE TRUE PATRIOTS WHO PROTESTED TODAY.

Remember folks, Clinton did NOTHING to stop osama nor hussein during his run!! Now Bush has to clean it all up. I feel sorry for him.

For all of the liberals out there stop shouting and start debating. There is a distinct difference between exercising freedom of speech to protest outside of the presidents speech like many people did, and trying to disrupt a ceremony that from what I can tell the president went out of his way to keep non political.

I'm as mad as the next guy at some of the things bush has done, but guess what he was elected by the people, by a process that is spelled out in the constitution. The congress won't impeach him because they would have to impeach themselves if they did. Every thing the liberals want to impeach him for has been approved by congress, and I believe even St.'s Obama and Clinton (i believe they are spending their time at a cabin walking on water) supported much of what the president has done. Lets review shall we. No Child(Kennedy Clinton too. backed), Iraq(most of current democrats backed, and Obama was too stupid to admit when he's wrong and say that he was wrong on the surge), Patriot act (All backed originally, and even clinton & Obama voted for it in the recent update). So before claiming that Bush has run the counrtry into the ground, or this is some GOP master plan, remember that the DNC has had their hand and most of their upper body stuck in a lot of the stuff that's gone on.

As for some of these posts where are the moderators? Some definately violate the coment policy, but I guess it only applies if you are criticizing Obama that you can't be obscene. But being obscene towards the President is OK.

do you have to refer to it as "heckling?" it's not a joke or childish game: bush is a war criminal. get off your collective butts and do some real reporting.

I'm saddened by this highly polarized discussion. I think I would be happy with either Obama or McCain. The silly noname McSame cannot be logically applied to McCain given his history–he is anything but the same as Bush, even though some of his policy choices are similar. With respect to freedom of speech, these protesters were not following an orderly, logical, or respectable method of dissent. If Obama or McCain had to respond to every heckler the way some of the above comments suggest Bush should have done, they would have no opportunity to discuss their preferred policy. Bush, as faulty as some of his policies have been, had every right to ignore the rude interruption!

Somebody please explain to me why this President isn't impeached! I honestly don't get it. What's worse than lying to his own people and inflicting death and injury on over 100,000 including Iraquis, and grave harm on their families, lost careers, homes, and also so much grief — all because God "told him to."

The person who said the President brought fascism to the United States has obviously never lived under a fascist regime in their entire lives. They have no idea what they are talking about and can't possibly fathom the widespread mayhem in countries where fascism actually does exist. Ask any Italian who lived under Mussolini in Italy or Franco in Spain about the current situation in the United States. If fascism did reign in the U.S., then Pelosi, Reid, Howard Dean, and the like would have been captured, tortured, and murdered like the political opponents of those regimes. The hysterics and over-simplifications of the Left does nothing to further their cause.

Bush is a not only a war criminal, but a terrorist and a torturer. He must be executed for his crimes.

It's a sad day when peolpe have to worry about what they say for fear of being arrested and rposectued under one of GW's incredible "Patriot Act" laws. He's turned back the freedom clock decades. What a loser.

What;s that Big Brother? Oh, sorry. I meant what a lover….

(of torture, illegal detention, and spreading democracy at the point of a spear…)

You Bush-haters are so miserably misguided that you are now ready and eager to vote for an avowed Marxist-socialist. Great thinking! And you talk about the future of our country?

Bush was not alone in going to war with Iraq. He had the approval of the Congress and of every major leader of both parties. They all based their decisions on U.S. intelligence (remember "slam dunk" by Director Tenent?) and the intelligences of most major nations.

You've been watching too much MSM.

Bush will deserve every heckle and jeer he receives for the rest of his lousy life. And the voices calling WAR CRIMINAL will grow louder and louder. Bush is an American disaster as are the idiots who voted for him.

GO MCCAIN !! vote 2008 !

I respect your love for our country BUT what we actually have is a SINKING DOLLAR and a LOSS of the world's respect.

Thanks to the Bush leadership!

Nice…………

Scum suckers at work – ruining a patriotic celebration in an infantile display. And those here who have supported them: wait until you get the half-cast Muslim-born Marxist slickster from the Windy City for president. Will you disrupt him when he sells the country down the river to the Muslims?

I love all the automatons who so self-righteously applauded when Bush made his smarmy remark about "We believe in free speech in this country," EVEN AS the hecklers were being dragged off for their dissenting opinions. You have to be making an *effort* to be that blindly stupid.

Have liberals no shame?

This speech today wasn't about President Bush, the war on terror, or anything else. It was a naturalization ceremony. Here were 76 new Americans receiving their citizenship on the most befitting of days and protestors (Bush-haters, there's really nothing to protest) ruin the most exciting day of their lives.

Bravo!

Lock him up in Gitmo and throw away the key!!!

Retired man –
Very well put. People talk like we are a monarchy. Bush couldn’t have done most of what has happened over the last 8 years without the help of Congress.

Remember that when you’re all doing the happy dance over Bush’s exit while voting the same idiots back into Congress in November.

Watch the video, idiots! This woman was not black. And so what if she was!! Stop the racist comments. It is ignorant and appalling that we still have this kind of talk in the USA – and on July 4th, when we should be showing the best our country has to offer!

It's patriotic to protest…at least the polls tell us so!

Good for the protesters, I wish I could tell him to the face!

I am no fan of President Bush but it disappoints me to see him heckled during an Independence Day speech where many immigrants are becoming US citizens. While the protesters may think they are disrespecting Bush, they are also disrespecting their new fellow citizens with such statements. Bottom line, there is a time and a place for everything and that event was certainly not either.

Thank GOD for the free speech that this admin. tried to stifle!

Thank God this is the last 4th of July for this presidency.

Obama 08/12

I am die hard democrat and I even get enjoyment out of seeing the misery the republicans have brought to this country. I see more and more republicans losing their jobs and I get excited. They deserve it.
However, Bush is a war criminal and the Democrats are no better. They should have brought Bush and Cheney up on charges and have failed over and over to do so. All those people who write in like the democrats are any better..they are not. Where is the Impeachment? The dems decided not to. Where is the war criminal charges…the dems decided not to.

you are waiting to get enough comments so you can 'close' the discussion, aren't you??

condi rice is proud of the 4114 dead troops we have to show for her war.

Basil

I have pointed out why Bush and his cronies are war criminals.. He LIED about WMD's.. That was the SOLE reason to invade Iraq. What about a LIE do you and MOST Bushies not understand?? Clinton's lie about oral sex didn't kill anyone. Bush's lie about WMD's have lead to 4000+ American's dead. Is that enough for YOU to believe Bush should be tried for war crimes?? Oh lets see, he illegally eaves drops on regular American's.. He strongarms the congress with his threats of vetos and backdoor deals to get Haliburton the ONLY contract to rebuild Iraq.

Spidey, Dave and all the morons who support Bush.. The right is far more whacked then the left. The right (white) wing wants EVERYONE in America to do as they say, act like they want and to restrict your freedoms. You are blinded by the lies and misinformation. WAKE UP AMERICA before its too late.. We haven't been attacked since 9/11, but terrorism around the world is UP. Gas is up because of Bush's dealings in Iraq and his ties to big oil. Cheney's net wealth has increased 80 million in the last 5 years.. Bush is lousy and W stands for WEASEL!! Name 1 good thing Bush has done while in office??? I can't think of anything.

We aren't safer.. The attack will happen and Bush knows it. He's waiting to let it happen again, just like 9-11-2001.. He sat and listened to the kids reading a book that day while America was attacked. He should have maned up and left the kids and tended to America, but just like his days as a pilot he made up excuses!!! Bush is a criminal, not Presidential!! BUSH LIED 4000+ have died!!!

We are living in tough times, gas is up, job loss is up and no hope in the mortgage crises, yet we have not suffered another attack in our home land, we can speak freely, and protest freely – America is free thank god to Bush! God bless America and our freedom! Happy Birthday America!

The only freedom of speech that liberals recognize is their own. Everyone else must goose-step to their way of thinking.

Anyone else feel like its time for a revolution? Congress and The President need to go because the LAST thing they care about is American Citizens. The Housing Bill Bail-out is an election year joke. The Iraq War has not benefitted any American Citizen and please dont say its provided more security because it has only cost U.S. Solders lives. There has never been an Iraqi attack on U.S. soil. Everything done in Washington D.C. is done for self-serving or party-serving purposes. These people are so out of touch that they dont care about Gas Prices or Food Prices or anything that normal people have to worry about.

George Washington warned us all about National Parties in his farewell address….. He would be ashamed of President Bush and our Congress.

BTW

Dear Basil- For your information, this Bush-hater noticed you misspelled the word "the" -good try, though.

Generally , I believe that people should be treated respectfully
while making addresses. Let them finish and then let your feelings be known. NOT this "man". AND NOT on this day! He is not deserving of ANYTHING BUT our CONTEMPT.

BEEN TO THE UK, FRANCE, CZCH REPUBLIC, HOLLAND, SPAIN, MEXICO CITY, BRAZIL, CANADA, JAPAN, HONG KONG, SINGAPORE, TAIWAN, CHINA, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA AND PARTS OF THE HIMALAYAS.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

retired man is spot on. Too many on the left forget Bush had help going to war. He made the case they looked it over and agreed in most part it was the right call.

Now when things get hot from the anti-war nuts these democrats become gutless wimps like John Kerry and cry i voted for the war but now i'm against it. If Bush lied so did Clinton. Hillary said she spoke to people that worked for her husband and after that she agreed to vote yes for the war. odd how this stuff gets left out.

Yes such a bad country that people are willing to risk their lives to get into it.

people haved died for this country and people are willing to die to keep it safe and yet some of you hate this country as much as you hate Bush. Like the old saying goes if you hate it then get the hell out. no one is holding a gun to your head in order to keep you here!

Dave in Illinos said:
To bad they aren't shipped over to the Middle East. Then let the spoiled bratts get a taste of real suppression of speech. Bush has set a strategy that resulted in zero attacks on the homeland since 9/11. This is like calling Truman a fascists because he kept the war going to finish off the Axis powers. Liberals are all mouth and no brains!!!!!
——–
Of course there have been no more attacks. The white house hasn't figured out a new one that they could get away with again.
Bush and Cheney should both be tried for war crime and stealing more that a trillion dollars from the taxpeyers thru their no compete awards for their family business's and haliburton and it subs.

I hope when that man walks out of the White House for the last time, he is met by law enforcement and arrested for crimes against humanity.

Bush and all his cronies need to be behind bars for the rest of their lives.

The man (and I use that term loosely) that has destroyed our independence, our freedom and the constitution more than anyone could have imagined does not deserve to speak at any event (I don't care if he is the current President) so bless the hecklers and I look forward to the day when Bush has to answer to God why he did what he did and imagine his surprise when God isn't impressed!

The United States of Torture: It's official.
Many nations aspire to the high standards of the US. Regrettably the US fails to live up to its own standards. Have you guys considered devolution? You get to walk away from all that debt and shame. American? What me? Alaska, Hawaii, Texas, Californian Northwest, Liberal Northeast, the South will rise again, then there’s them deadbeats in the middle, anyone want to take pity on them? … Well, no back of the envelope plan is 100% perfect.

The Bush Administration and the GOP have brought fascism to this shore.

I love this country, but it's been hijacked and that's what is very frightening

In the words of Ronald Reagan, "are you better off now than you were 4 or even 8 years ago?"

WTO

To all hecklers:

I have no idea why you people would wait for a specific day to seize an opportunity to make your case when you have the courts everyday. GO TO THE COURTS and stop using special public forums to make noise. No one takes you seriously. No one knows your name or your specific concerns about the war. Maybe you are just as psycho as the man you are hollering at. Lol!!!!

When you think of the men and women who are over in Irag fighting in this war that never should of been it is very sad. I was hoping Hillary would be the next President as I think she knows more than the others how everyday people feel and that she would of worked her buns off trying to bring the troops home. Now it is between Obama and McCain and I do not like either of them, McCain is more knowledable than Bush but thinks a lot like him, Obama is a no brainer and just a smooth talker who waits till someone speaks and jumps on their ideas. He does not impress me. Also I think the person who interrupted Bush while he gave a speech acted alone, there are lots and lots of people who feel like screaming these days.

Well folks, when you start getting upset -just keep one thing in mind- we will NEVER have to listen to GWB blather on and on and on during a July 4th celebration again. I, for one, am supremely thankful.

"Hecklers" doesn't accurately describe them… I'd call them "Heroes". I would love a chance to tell the President exactly what he is — a thief, a War Criminal, and a Fascist Fanatic.

As a 100% disabled Veteran, I can say without reservation this President is the most shameful and deceitful President we have ever had in my over 50 years of life. Having traveled all over the Globe he has indeed brought dishonor and shame to us Americans. You CAN NOT bring freedom to those at the end of a Gun Barrel. Shame on Bush. As a Bible believing Christian Bush has even brought shame to us Christians.

PRESIDENT BUSH: YOU SHOULD GET THE MESSAGE. YOU HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE PRESIDENT. YOUR NAME WILL MAKE HISTORY; AS THE WORST PRESIDENT THIS NATION HAS EVERY SEEN!

INSTEAD OF DRAGGING AWAY AND ARRESTING THE PROTESTERS, MAY I SUGGEST THEY ARREST THE ONLY WAR CRIMINAL ACTUALLY PRESENT AT THE CEREMONY?

I do remember someone telling me that " Its a free country" and Freedom of speech is guaranteed….

These are idiots! These are the same morons who call Pres. Bush a war monger, liar etc but then cozy up to dictators like Chavez, Castro and the rest of that ilk. As far as free speech is concerned, they only believe in it when they want to speak. Remember how conservatives and others who disagree with them are shouted down at college campuses? Happy Independence Day to all true Americans and not these stupid, publicity hungry jerks who heckle our President

Serioulsy people? Yeah, the guy is a dope. But saying he is fascist or no different than Hitler in Poland is ridiculous. Maybe a little perspective would do you some good. Pick up a book and try and learn a little about how things were in Germany and Italy in 1940. And freedom of speech doesnt mean you can go flapping your jaw and yelling anytime you like. Maybe you guys need to also read the Constitution and the Bill of RIghts in addition to some history.

I disapprove of anyone who is disrespectful of a candidate during a speech. However, I do agree with their frustration of how Bush/GOP have lied to the public and there has been absolutely no hearings. Bush should be impeached for what he did to this country. History will show him for what he is, a liar, law breaker, and the worst President ever. He is even worse than Jimmy Carter!!!!

This country desperately needs a new administration and a new direction both internally and abroad. The last 8 years of this administration have been nothing less than a debacle for this country! Our sons and daughters will pay dearly for this for years to come. Remember that the next time you vote. Nice people that you would want to have a beer with can turn out horribly as leaders of the executive branch. Ask tough questions and demand thorough answers!

It's still disrespectful, no matter how you want to justify it! (Call it free speech, blah, blah, blah!) It's the real reason most people in other countries hate us! Americans aren't respectful, consistent, patriotic, or even remotely honorable- call it like you see it. We all "stood" together after 911- for about one month! Our leaders, like Bush, whether you love him or hate him, is still in a position that deserves respect. He cannot make any decision alone and needs the backing of Congress- A Democrat controlled Congress! The economy went south about the time the Democrats took over and tried to give all our money away to undeservings. Now, go ahead and take these comments and try to make yourselves feel better by blaming me and calling me names too. We, as Americans, are good at that!

he deserves worse

Heckled? Is that all? George W. Bush needs to be in jail.

It's those dumb obama supporters.

Don't they have any respect for the presidency of the US. especially on the Fourth of July

They are uncouth and loud mouth and bordering on un-American.

I'll be glad when this election is over and McCain wins.

Bushs' presidency is the result of great spin and marketing by free market republicans and a media that no longer works for the 'public good' or for a well informed public. Today is July 4th, How many times did you hear the press talk about the birthday of our republic? We are not a democracy .we are a republic. Where are the citizens defending that republic.?
If you knew about the 1933 business plot against FDR you would know what the hecklers were talking about.
God Bless the Republic. May God save the republic.

More kook left wing libs. The stupidity of the left sickens me. Go ahead and vote for your socialist BO-may God help us if he ever sets foot in the White House.

Well said! Its time to clean up our own house…the economy such as the price of gasoline, real estate meltdown, mortgage foreclosures, etc.
God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to all the repugnants out there, that´s what you are REPUGNANTS

"President"

While there's little to agree with about the way this President has run the country, its does a great disservice to America and the newly sworn-in Americans to be disruptive during the Monticello speech. As Thomas Jefferson might have advised, if the goal is to be effective, then pick your day, place, time, and message more carefully. If the goal is simply to be disruptive and disrespectful, anyone can do that. Many Americans are reverent about Independence Day and overlooking that is a peril to your cause. As our Founding Fathers understood many years ago, garnering support is a careful balance between mind and heart. Your actions at Monticello were careless and succeeded in losing support. Had the men behind the Declaration of Independence been so careless, we would not have founded this Nation long ago. Think!

"aaaahhhhh…good thing that one of this nation's foremost founding principles, freedom of speech (in fact, the very FIRST amendment in the bill of rights), is still respected and upheld by our government to this day…"

*sees protesters being dragged away from crowd in video

"oh, okay, well…at least we still have the best hotdogs…"

With Bush's approval ratings in the 20's, I'm surprised we don't see more of this. We should have pulled a Gray Davis and recalled him a long time ago. This is one Republican who won't be sad to see W go in January.

Seeing people like George Bush and Dick Cheney and knowing that they will no longer be alive in a few more years makes even an atheist feel like believing in Hell.

It is not America they are criticizing, it is Bush.
Bush should be arrested for embezelment, and negligent homicide. Why is this not obvious?

You really get an idea of how ignorant people are reading this?

"NEVER had we been attacked on the scale of 9/11/01 UNTIL Bush became president." They tried to during the Clinton Administration, did they not?

"If we're lucky maybe something really big will happen at one of these staged appearances." Hmmm….Creepy….

"How else does a person who almost didn't make it through high school and got into Yale on an affirmative action program (his daddy) ever get elected president of anything?" So Yale is so easy, that they just let anyone in because of their father? Give me a break.

Every thing Brian Fields's from Arizona is moronic. I wouldn't know where to begin.

"BUSH ..GET READY FOR PRISON!!!" Seriously dude??

CNN……The President, who was talking part in Monticello's annual naturalization ceremony, was interrupted several times by protesters.

THAT IS SOOOOOO Direspectful!!!!!!!

Shouldn't they have a job or something.. or a life?

BUSH IS A NAZI AND HAS DONE MORE TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY THAN ANY OTHER!

IMPEACH HIM

Bush should be IMPEACHED. His the worst thing that ever happen to Ameica. Impeach Bush. His a disgrace to us all.

Yeah Pat, I believe you need to get a life. Take the blinders off.

Rude, rude, rude.
This type of person has absolutely no respect for our country, the flag, not to mention the president.
The sad part of it is that ignorant people get to vote also.

The only fascists I saw in that crowd were the 3-4 people who clearly do not believe in free speech–or basic manners.

Slider – Why don't you ask those people in Iraq what they think of the Hussein government, as opposed to what they have now?

Think they want to go back?

__________________________________________________

I think it's a safe bet to say "yes" at this point.

I mean, you think they love having their country occupied by a foreign army, infrastructure completely destroyed, and bombings in the streets? (and no, there were no terrorist bombings before we got there).

Maybe you think they get a ton of joy seeing the pictures from Abu Ghraib, soldiers using the Koran for target practice, and tossing puppies off cliffs.

So yes, I would bet the average Iraqi thinks back to the relatively peaceful days of Saddam and wishes their country wasn't invaded in the first place.

July 4th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

No attacks since 9/11. I think Bush has done a wonderful job. I love that man. Liberals hate him because they cannot understand why he has out smarted them at every turn. Bush is a genious. We will never allow Islamic law in the U.S..lo

No, liberals hate him because he ignores the law, the constitution, the will of the people, the will of the iraqis, The UN Charter, and everyone else but his rich friends.

Wake Up Bush is no conservative he's a Neo fascist and the only reason there has not been an attack since 9/11 has nothing to do with bush and everything to do with dumb luck. oh and you sound as smart as bush spelling "genius" Genious"

funny how everybody is callin Bush a war criminal and a fascist and blaming him for everything that had gone wrong in America when we, the people were the one who voted for him, and elected him to be our president term after term. we can only blame it on ourselves for our own stupidity by favoring him and wanting him to be our president. and now that everything is going the opposite way of how we wanted, you people started pointing fingers at others. of course Bush have some parts to blame buh he wouldnt even be there to cause all this misfortune if we the people never voted for him so everybody get a GRIP and blame urself as well instead of completely at Bush!!!!! cuz you americans should be ASHAMED!!!! and feel STUPID for picking BUSH!!!! quite ironic how the americans choose him and yet now you guys are all bashing him to no end!! how pathetic of you people!! because you guys were held responsible to!! so DONT EVEN BLAME IT ALL ON HIM!!!!

Bush is a deeply sick and insane man.

For those of you who so easily invoke "Hilter" this and "Fascism" that, there is no way that this compares to such atrocities, be it Bush or anybody else in power in this country.

But mark my words, the Democrats will take back control of this country. The Republicans have lost control and there is only one person to blame, Ex-president George W. Bush. NOW there IS someone worse that Nixon.

It will be a generation or two before Bush's destruction of his own party is mended.

Mark my words.

How come liberals define 'freedom of speech' as 'silencing and outshouting everyone they disagree with?'

Unbelievable and extremely disturbing. If some of you folks REALLY want to see a Nazi/Fascist, just look in the mirror. And while your at it, maybe you can come up with a "Final Solution" to the Republican problem.

Bush went to war – who approved it? Congress
Bush signed the Patriot Act.
Who approved it? Congress
In the first six years of his administration gas went up a
dollar– what changed in the past 2 years to cause the price of gas to double in that amount of time? Congress

If those of you who believe that the President is a War Criminal – what does that leave the members of Congress who voted to go?

and yea – the lying thing -if that were true – why did some congressmen like Jay Rockerfeller say that there was not enough information to go to war- In other words — if he lied – why did so many people say that the US should not go to war?

Those of you who are claiming that the US is now a terrible plac e-you miss the whole irony of this post – they disrupped a ceremony to bring in New Citizens…. if we are so horrible – why are they having such a problem processing the paperwork for all of the people who want to become Americans?

I'm sorry America, for the road not taken these last eight years by our President and Congress. Forever changing our country's landscape, our right to celebrate our hard-won Independence Day with pride.

Let us remain faithful however to our women and men in the military. They remain in harms way even as we speak.

Please bring our troops safely home.

To bad they aren't shipped over to the Middle East. Then let the spoiled bratts get a taste of real suppression of speech. Bush has set a strategy that resulted in zero attacks on the homeland since 9/11. This is like calling Truman a fascists because he kept the war going to finish off the Axis powers. Liberals are all mouth and no brains!!!!!

Anyone disrupting a presidential speech in that way would be removed regardless of who is president.

If more people spent time learning to write effectively and correctly, they would make better arguments instead of leaving no doubt to their idiocy in the hate-filled ramblings they leave behind.

I don't understand how these morons get into events like this in the first place. The real funny part is they will be at the Dem convention protesting and I fully expect(praying also) that there will be riots so people can see just how whacked out the left is in this country. We are going to have reliable allies in the middle east thanks to Bush's polices. Did I mention we haven't been attacked since 911? Bush has done a great job as president. Food and gas are high to do the extreme left not Bush.

Anyone notice the parallels between King George I and King George II?

Both claimed victory with the sword and left office failing to provide bread and butter.

Yes, it's the economy stoopit, but I doubt Geogie knows how much a loaf of bread costs.

I look forward to a new president that can complete a three word sentence without stammering.

If there is REAL free speech? Why are they being dragged by the police?!

Free speech is more like a joke these days!

The very fact that a heckler would dare to call Bush a fascist proves that he isn't! Dissent is healthy, and many legitimate criticisms can be leveled at the Bush administration, but let's be real.

To those hecklers who disrupt other's free speech: please shut up! No one cares what you think. Have your own events to say what you want; I promise to stay away and let you speak.

Why does these people always fall under the Democratic Party wing of the nation? Maybe the Democratic Party should be renamed the Type-A personality party? I mean seriously folks, it's the 4th of July, lighten up. We are still one nation, so let's enjoy the holiday.

Typical democrats, those who can not get over Clintons impeachment. Why can't these idiots cerebrate the 4th like most americans. Get over it , there are only a few months left when we get a "real ringer" to lead us. Have to admit it though, he has outsmarted congress and all the liberals.

Michael S. – Fort Wayne, Indiana – "I fear my own government more than I fear any so-called "terrorists"."

Yeah. Tell that to the graves of the 3,000 dead on 9/11, you idiot.

You're are definitely like most of your ilk: you don't know what real oppression, tyranny, or brutality by a government is, and like most of your ilk throughout history, you get real silent when you finally do get a government that gives you that cause to fear.

Why don't you ask those people in Iraq what they think of the Hussein government, as opposed to what they have now?

Think they want to go back?

Idiot.

Ah, freedom.

It's an insult, really, for him to stand on those grounds.

Heckeld! They all should be Impeached.

The Bush Cheney, Yes!

I am sure these protesters would be hurling the same insults to the Minutemen during the Revolution because of their Fur caps, French firearms, and The Cause they fought and paid for with many human lives.
Back then to hurl insults openly against the King of England would cost you your life, or worse yet, your entire family as well.
Fortunately for us, The Few and The Brave paid that particular price that freedom of speech (not slander) would have its rightful place in a Democracy governed "by the people, for the people".
They understood the words "Don't Tread On Me" and laid down their life to back up those words. O' spoiled children of America, unless you are willing to die for your accusations, slander and verbal abuse, whether true or not, silence the cowardly tongue.
Be Free, Live Free, Die Free!

Heckling Bush is free speech,,,heckling Obama is racism…

The ceremony wasn't about bush, it was about the immigrants who waited in line to become citizens. What a way to remember what for many was the best day of their lives – a couple weenie "protesters" acting like attention deprived children. And for all of you claiming the protestor weenies have a right to "free speech" at a privite event, you are totally wrong.

Look on the bright side. Soon Georgie and Dickie will lose their diplomatic immunity. They can then be brought up on war crimes charges. 4000+ Americans are dead and many thousands of Iraqis due to their lies. McCain is just another liar-in-waiting. No matter what the bammer does, he can't be any worse than the republocnazis.

Jason – Chandler, Arizona July 4th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Mark in Portland since thats what PDX is. Bush is responsible for 9/11. He knew the "terrorists" were here in America, he had the fbi tracking them and they could have gotten them IF he really wanted. Don't get me started on the alleged plane that hit the Pentagon.. If you look at the video of the "plane" you see NO tail of a plane at all.

Jason — I don't know about the video but I was at the Pentagon on 9/12 and I saw a tail of the plane along with lots of other rubble

Having these people removed is not an infringement on their freedom of speech — any one espousing that has no idea what the privilege/right permits. The Freedom of Speech does not entitle people to be disorderly and shout down the president or anyone else trying to give a speech. The yelling and interrupting the speech of those you disagree with is disrespectful. The freedom of speech does not exist to only those that can yell the loudest!! These people are an embarrasment.

Phil, New York, New York July 4th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

I totally support war. All the liberals will be wishing Republicans were in power once the islamo facists enact Sharia law in the U.S. Liberals have been trying to turn this country back into England before the ink was dry on the Constitution. If you need proof all you have to do is listen to liberals tell you how they want other countries to like us and how great of countries are in Europe.

——————————————————————-

Statements like this are idiotic scare tactics. The United States is not a country that can be invaded. No one will come here and enact Sharia law in the U.S. Let's have a rational debate on whether we should pull our war machine out of *their* countries and what the consequences of that would be, but spare us the theatrics, please.

All of the morons that continue to brag about Bush and how we haven't been attacked since 9/11/01 need to consider one thing. NEVER had we been attacked on the scale of 9/11/01 UNTIL Bush became president.

Jefferson would endorse those hecklers right to speak truth to power (or truth to tinpot fascist, in this case).

The only thing that bothers me are the idiots who come on this page and criticize those people for speaking their mind. As if it's wrong to criticize the president. If you don't exercise your rights, people, you're gonna lose 'em.

God save the First Amendment.

I think it's sad that CNN would post this. To what purpose does this meet? Once again, CNN provides clear evidence that it is a liberal mouthpiece. Granted, it is the right of every American to voice their opinion, but to show these nuts is plain sickening. Congrats, you've given them their 15 minutes of fame. BTW, what was the President's speech on or do you care? Why hasn't Obama been attacked like McCain has during his speeches? Looks like he's a protected person. Maybe the choosen one?

Good for them; it sorely needs to be pointed out that on a day when we celebrate our freedom our President is a fascist war criminal

Heckled? He should be arrested.

He's a symptom of a sick Republic, not the problem. For the people, by the people. The 3% of the population that control 97% of the wealth, have an agenda, and it's called the New World Order.

Another example of why this Fool (Bush) makes very few public appearances. If I was him, I would be afraid to go outside of the White House gates. If we're lucky maybe something really big will happen at one of these staged appearances.

It is so hypocritical that the freedoms that this administration seeks for citizens of other countries, it denies it's own citizens.

Freedom of speech in America can only be defined as being only possible, if you agree with the status quo. Once there is opposition, one is quickly apprehended. What countries does this response to protests, remind us of?. We can name several. What a shame.

Come on people. President Bush isn't the first person to have a heckler removed. That doesn't make him a fascist. That's just a stupid excuse to sound off on him. If you want to hate him that's your choice but stop sounding so ignorant about it.

Clinton Impeachment is to Bush Impeachment

as

Jaywalking is to Grand Theft Auto

Yeah, He's a fascist-
BUT, you elected him, twice.
He has done nothing without the approval of the Congress YOU elected.
Shame on YOU for your choices.
Hitler had the same mandate of the people,
Think before you pull the lever, you never know when it may be the last time.

The sad thing is that this is perhaps the most a citizen could do to him. Given ALL the damages Bush and Cheney have inflicted on our country and others, will there ever be a day that they will be served justice?
I think not.

Historians will shame him for generations to come. But he probably couldn't cares less if at all..

Did you ever notice how most Bush-haters can't spell or even write in complete sentences?

As for Bush being a Nazi or having family ties to Nazism, does that mean that all liberals should be persecuted for their ancestors involvement in slavery? Would they want or think it would be okay for them to be judged by he sins or rumors of sins of their fathers and grandfathers?

Nooooooooooooo.

Everyone keeps saying Bush and Cheney are war criminals, but no one ever explains why. This is radical leftist propaganda at its best. The same with the whole freedom of speech thing. If Bush has stolen all of our rights away, then why are millions of Americans everyday able to share their comments with each other and the world on websites like this one. Why are NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC able to constantly deride Bush and Cheney day after day after day if their freedom of speech has been taken away?

Can we amend the constitution so that Bush can have a 3rd term? Ij love that man. He is a true American hero.

All wars in U.S. history, except the Gulf wars, have been started by Democrats. Democrats are warmongers.

So u want obama to raise your taxes and mess up the best health care in the world, r -u nuts people? As 4 the protesters , they probably never worked hard in their life, everything given to them since day 1-!!!

What better way to celebrate the birth of this nation than to disrupt and disrespect the entire country?

These people are true patriots who spoke out like this today. They restore my hope in America.

Good for them for exercising free speech and standing up against this travesty of a president! Yes, he's a war criminal; that's very clear to many Americans. Most leaders/dictators of nations are somehow able to prop up their national economy, even during wartime, but not this shameful excuse for a president. Every sector of the economy is in the toilet along with the respect and honor of this great country.

No attacks since 9/11. I think Bush has done a wonderful job. I love that man. Liberals hate him because they cannot understand why he has out smarted them at every turn. Bush is a genious. We will never allow Islamic law in the U.S.

George Bush is a disgrace to this country. He should be heckled every time he shows his face in public. In fact, he should have been impeached a long time ago for deceiving the people of this country and getting us involved in Iraq.

There will be dancing and rejoicing in the streets when we get this IDIOT MORON out of office. Halleluija.

Our sorry situation with Bush/Cheney/Rove is because voters in general have not made the effort to be informed. The 6 o'clock news is not a substitute for info that is presented in this countrys major newspapers. You have to work at finding the truth. It rarely just falls into your lap.
How else does a person who almost didn't make it through high school and got into Yale on an affirmative action program (his daddy) ever get elected president of anything?
Make the effort to be informed and see through all the BS or you will end up with a government where your vote won't count. Don't believe for a moment that it can't happen.

Some day people will understand that Bush does not care what we think about him, just as he does not care about this country. I used to think he was just crazy – now I'm convinced that he is doing exactly what he has been told to do, and to hell with America and Americans.

I totally support war. All the liberals will be wishing Republicans were in power once the islamo facists enact Sharia law in the U.S. Liberals have been trying to turn this country back into England before the ink was dry on the Constitution. If you need proof all you have to do is listen to liberals tell you how they want other countries to like us and how great of countries are in Europe.

andrew jackson if he were here today woulda knocked bush out cold

A shared sentiment by many Americans and others.

Kudo to the few who have the courage to say enough is enough.

We shall have justice!

cnn, you'll be heckled if you exclude Ralph Nader from the presidential debates this year.
The corporate media says he can't go in unless he has 15% in the polls with NO national coverage, yet their polls don't include n\ader as an option, only advertising Obama & Mccain.
We're not idiots and in the youtube age we will expose to everyone how the media is fixing the election.

It makes me sad to see so many people blame so much on President Bush. He is one man. There is also congress to think about, all of whom were elected.

No one is perfect, and I would dare say that the job is far more difficult than anyone is willing to acknowledge or could ever truly understand unless we were in their shoes.

Heckling may be a right, but it makes the people look immature.

I may not agree with everything, but I respect the position of leadership that the President has. I also do not agree with Obama or McCain but I also respect them to a certain extent.

I think a lot of America's problems are global in nature and the solutions are not nearly as simple as everyone likes to blurt out.

Just grow up a little.

BTW – I have had a brother in Iraq.

It is true that President Bush is not the favorite president of many Americans. I myself did not vote for him.

However, there are many venues that the President attends that are more appropriate for this type of protest. These nine new citizens didn't deserve to have a wonderful event marred by the thoughtlessness of these protesters.

While many may not disagree with the sentiment of the protest, the lack of civility to both the new citizens and their families in attendance is inappropriate. First, it was the protests at the soldiers' funerals and now this.

What happened to consideration for your fellow citizens and basic decency and civility….oh I forgot, the morally correct protesters' opinion of what's important trumps everything else…

BUSH ..DO US A FAVOR..!!…GET OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!!!

RIGHT ON SISTER!!!!

Yep Virginia too has nitwits still looking for Owl Gore's recount.

"Hmmm? Looks like someone forgot to take out the trash. Simple minded goobers with nothing to do except grasp at attention for mouthing what they believe to be popular.
Why are they always butt ugly to boot?"

Kinda harsh words directed at our president don't you think?

Clinton Impeachment is to Bush Impeachment

as

Jaywalking is to Embezzlement

BUSH ..GET READY FOR PRISON!!!

Disgusted US ARMY Vet!!!

TO ABAMANATION:
PLEASE TELL US WHICH COUNTRIES YOU HAVE TRAVELED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HAVE BEEN TO CANADA, THE UK, IRELAND, FRANCE, GERMANY,ITALY, DENMARK, SWEDEN, HOLLAND, ARUBA, ST.MARTIN, ANTIGUA, ST. LUCIA, JAMAICA, PARTS OF MEXICO AND HAVE NOT SEEN IN THESE COUNTRIES PEOPLE WHO THINK WE ARE THE BEST COUNTRY.

The Secret Service has a long and proud tradition of not interfering with hecklers. What this administration has, that no other administration has had before, is a team of people dressed to look like the Secret Service, whose job it is to pretend to be Secret Service and "escort out" hecklers.

Every time that CNN and other news sources fall for this, the administration gets away with one of its deepest-reaching and Orwellian scandals.

…And for there guys? Wow, that's saying something.

Long overdue…….he deserves it.

I never liked Bush, but I don't like Obama either. I think he will be a big disappointment for those who want real changes. I predict he won't bring the troops home as promised. The difference between the two is that Bush was a funny conman, Obama will be a boring one. I wish I was wrong.

When Bush came to Tampa in 2004 and spoke at Yankee stadium (not a campaign stop, but on our tax dollar) they turned people away who were not supportive and rushed the police to confiscated signs that appeared during the speech that were critical of the President. Positive signs provided by the White House were allowed. This man has done more to damage democracy than any person I know of. He is a blight on our country and will be known in history books as the WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

Still for Hill but now ONLY for Hill July 4th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

That is all the Obama people know.

blah blah blah

————————————————————————————–

How do you know these protesters were Obama supporters? Were they wearing "Obama '08″ bumper stickers on their foreheads? It seems like you will do anything to throw your hatred of Obama into other people's faces, even bringing it up where it is completely irrelevant.

I am disgusted by the blind faith that America is still a great country! Can you name one thing we are #1 in anymore??? When I was growing up I was told that they hate us for our freedom and that we are infidels! Well If that was true then the terrorists have won, thanks to the Bush Administration! If you think you have freedom you are sadly mistaken! That right was taken from us at the signing of the Patriot Act. Some people in this country act like the parent of a spoiled brat, who refuses to see that their child has done anything wrong! Wake up People!!! I love what this country once stood for and I believe in my heart that we can be great again! However, if we are going to be great again, then we need to acknowledge our faults now! I think that the republican followers really do not see what has happened to this once great country, and that is very sad! If they could only remove the republican blinders they would weep for this country! Also, for all those out there that plan to vote republican for president based solely on the fact that they don't want the Dem's to take their guns! I say to you name me one Police officer or military person that would be willing to go to your house and take your gun from you when you have done nothing wrong! It will not happen! This time around vote for more then just your right to bare arms vote for the troops serving over seas, vote for the people in America who have served this country and have become seriously ill, vote for improving international relations, vote for stem cell research and save a life, vote for fair wages, vote for the environment, vote to keep jobs in America, vote for child health care! We are the United States of America and I think it is about time we acted like we were United!

These comments have re-affirmed my belief that the average american is a malinformed moron…….not saying I like Bush or anything but seriously, you dont storm into a naturalization ceremony to selfishly express your views.

It will be with a tear in my eye that I will listen to the Star-Spangled Banner today. America now tortures peolpe as policy (but we just don't admit it is torture). We have suspended our right of Habeas Corpus (but we just don't call them "citizens"). We eavesdrop illegally (but we have made it "legal"). We have sold out our future to big oil companies (but it has been done to "help" Americans by supplying them with that addictive substance, oil). We are trashing the environment (with the "Blue Skies" and "Healthy Forests" initiatives). Yes is no, up is down, left is right, and war is now unending, soon to become "peace". We have met the enemy, and he is us, with a big boost from George W. Bush. Could it really be that fear of our enemies could be responsible for all this? Could it really be taht we are all that "terrorized"?

The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.
- Patrick Henry, American Revolutionary (1736-1799)

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
- Benjamin Franklin, American Revolutionary (1706-1790)

Happy 4th of July, everyone.

"Simple minded goobers," Ridgeway? Have you read the Nuremberg Principles lately? Bush is indeed a war criminal, and it is the duty of every U.S. citizen to hold him, his cabinet, and functionaries to account.

BRAVA and BRAVO to the protesters who spoke truth to power.

RJ keep YOUR nose out of MY Freedom
Annoy the wingnuts-uphold the constitution!

Mark in Portland since thats what PDX is. Bush is responsible for 9/11. He knew the "terrorists" were here in America, he had the fbi tracking them and they could have gotten them IF he really wanted. Don't get me started on the alleged plane that hit the Pentagon.. If you look at the video of the "plane" you see NO tail of a plane at all. It was a missile launched to divert attention. What did the Twin Towers and the Pentagon have in common? NOTHING!!! Bush needed an excuse for invading Iraq, his only hope was to LIE and tie Iraq and 9/11 together. Which he tried and failed at miserably. He has tried and failed miserably at EVERYTHING he does. He failed as owner of the Texas Rangers. He failed as a service member. He has ultimately failed as the President.

Voting for McCain is the worst move next Bush this country could do. We will end up in WW3 and be thrust further into a 3rd world status if McShame is elected. This country is headed down the wrong path and Obama is our only chance to correct it.

Of course Bush did not acknowledge any protesters' comments! He scarcely understands the English language.

Free speech is only free when everyone is allowed to speak. Those of you who disapprove of protest against the war are, in fact, as complicit in the suppression of speech as any fascist. Those of you who are pinning the blame on Senator Obama are staggering me with your idiocy. Do you mean to tell me that for the past five years, no one has opposed the war, before this new "uppity black" came along? That's ridiculous. It is no wonder we are repeating the same mistakes made in Vietnam – those who are ignorant of their country's dark history are condemned to repeat the same mistakes, after all.
Happy fourth of July, War Criminal Bush.

I know this is a conservative country, but that shouldn't mean supporting a candidate based solely on their party affiliation. Why can't people seem to learn anything? Is it beacuse our educational system is so poor that we can not contemplate a world beyond each presidency? We need a revolution in the country. Let's rise above, embrace change, and restore our name in the face of the world. We should all be able to be like this lady who heckled the president without the worry of being hauled off to Guatanamo.

I commend President Bush for his actions today. Most of use would have said something just as hateful back, he did not, rather he tells these new American citizens that we have free speech in America. It is obvious that many of the people here would not be capable of doing so with there hate for a man that they really don't know. Many have talked about the men that escorted the protester(s) away, what would you do if you were making a speech and something like that happened, probably do the same if not worse. I feel that many Americans today are uneducated about the term "impeach". Before everyone goes around using it how about looking it up, what crimes has he committed to stand trial for?

This bitter lady ruined the celebration of all these immigrants that had waited so many years to be a Proud American.

Another typical Obama supporter!

if obama is elected, we will be steamed rolled over like germany did to poland.

Democrats. Wrong on eminent domain. Wrong on child rapists. Wrong on the Second Amendment. The first to scream when their First Amendment rights are infringed, and the first to deny those same rights from others. God help us when Kumbaya Obama gets in. Then who will you blame ?

The last time I heard, this was still a FREE country. You don't like it, LEAVE IT!!! For all the dimwits above.

I'm so sick of hecklers and war protesters.

Can we just arrest Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, LIbbey and the rest and give them a fair trial then hang them for treason and move america forward already!?!

…the REPs are full of S..T!

Do not believe anything that they say!

VOTE – BOB BARR!

You people are (let me see if I can get this PC enough to understand) "RETARDED" as he11….

…the REPs are full of S..T!

Do not believe anything that they say!

to:chuck moylan
Fortunately this 4th of July we find ourselves again not attacked on our homeland due to Mr. Bush's foreign policy.

we'll you are Right, we have not been attacked, but since 911 there are more and more people wondering if Bush and Chaney didnt have anything to do with the attacks. lets see Iraq war on terror..ok. if so why fumble the ball on Afghanistan?
oh, WMD…hmmm none found?
oh, how a bout this one: Saddam is a bad man who kills his people, well that would work if WE didnt put him in power and if other leaders were not doing the same thing…in a round about way isnt Bush doing the same…letting our brave Americans die so EXXON can get their NO BID CONTRACTS…isnt that what John McCain wants to continue?
DUMPMCCAIN.COM

Dump Bush and Obama – the new Bush.

The Republicans have disgraced this country by allowing destroying our constitution. They have violated international treaties and should be tried by the United Nations just as horrific people in other parts of the world are tried and punished.

Bush needs to be impeached , its crazy how he says its a free country it is so let those people speak, its in the constitution the freedom of speech, instead he has secret service get rid of Those hecklers they shouldn't of been taken away in my opinion. I agree he is a war criminal and I am counting down to his departure because he has screwed this country big time. Barack Obama will be a really good president I don't want John Mccain in the white house.

This should not be a surprise, a "small man" who thinks God whispers in his ear. Christianity (his self professed faith) has suffered more through George W than any time since the crusades. The whole world is dissillusioned by this man and his kind and "we the people" have become fodder for those who would do us harm.

What a tragedy…

IF YOU ARE GOING TO BLAME OBAMA FOR THE HECKLER YOU MIGHT AS WELL INCLUDE MCCAIN BECAUSE BUSH TAKES NO CLAIM FOR BLAME. ALSO, TAKE BLAME YOURSELF FOR VOTING BUSH IN TWO TIMES AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, VOTING FOR MCCAIN GIVES BUSH A THIRD WONDERFUL TERM.

I think Bush is a good guy with a major flaw: Pride, a greed for glory. Out of his greed for glory he took us to a war we had no business fighting. Now, of course, he is a war criminal. It is a sad story. The truth is, I would vote for Bush before I vote for McCain: Bush made a huge mistake; McCain seeks to perpetuate Bush's mistakes, refusing to admit they were mistakes. The Bush war, the Bush tax cuts for the rich, the Bush international policies — McCain is insisting they are all good. I miss the McCain of yore; now John McCain scares me.

I can see all the America haters, illegal immigrants waving foreign flags, decadent weirdos in ridiculous attire protesting agaist normalcy, all crowding the NFL stadium in Denver to listen to Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech. What a spectacle that will be, it will give McCain at least a ten-point boost.

…and if you've been to the mall – you know that the Bush administration could care less about it's condition!

The REPs party doesn't want to do anything to conserve our NATIONAL TREASURES!

McCain will tell us to that we're trying…! But,…they aren't!

Say NO to the REPUBLCIANS!

These protestors are great Americans! They make me proud. Wish I had been there to join in.

Under Bush and Cheney…there is no thing known as "Free Speech!"

i hope we make it to the election before the new revolution begins.i would rather have a respectable change of government,before the anarchy begins.bush and company will be cracking down on the american people with whatever it takes to remain in power.without obama,we will be newest third world country.

…and if you've been to the mall – you know that the Bush administration could care less about it's condition!

The REPs party doesn't want to do anything to conserve our NATIONAL TREASURES!

McCain will tell us to…!

Say NO to the REPUBLCIANS!

If Amarica was really a facist nation, he would not have been only escorted out, he would of been shot in the head. Try explaining that to Obama cultists.
Obama cultists are the first to deflect critism of policy or character issues. Mc Bama = Mc Bush.

HE AND CHENEY ARE WAR CRIMINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I HOPE THE TWO OF THEM ARE BROUGHT UP ON WAR CRIMES

George W. Bush reminds me of Lyndon Johnson. They said the same thing about Johnson when he expanded the Vietnam war.

How very sad that an exciting and wonderful day had to be ruined by those protesters. I feel sorry for the people who were becoming citizens. This should have been a special day for them and it was ruined by those who had nothing better to do.

Surely, no one is surprised!

That heckler was a paid black women by the Obama campain to start up some dirty support for thier campain. We all know by voting for Obama thier will be not change. That's just a word he copyed from a tv ad in china. Just wait you let Obama in the White house and he will have you put in jail for talking againt him.

Bush has heard — deservedly! — so much criticism over the last 7+ years that he seems to pay no attention to it anymore. Or maybe he's just so out of touch he thinks protesters are actually cheering him. Regardless, it's downright shameful that Secret Service agents, on the public payroll, were dispatched to "escort" one protester away, which just reflects the hubris and abuse the Bush administration continues to heap onto the American public. By the way, did anybody else note the irony of this episode: On the country's birthday, when we celebrate freedom and liberty, its First Amendment was stepped on, no less by a president who probably couldn't spell constitution if you spotted him "consti" and "tion"!!

These are the same airheads who blame Bush for 9/11. "Forget logic, just vote for Obama" – the mantra of the airheads…

NObama N'08 (you'll get exactly what you vote for: nothing!)

If you want to be romans who ruled the world, then you will have to be at war all the time. If not, then stop pretending to preach your values & stop showing your culture & wealth to the world and just be another ordinary country.

As the world changes in 5 to 10 years, we will truly know if the US really rules the world or not.

Why is it that almost all of these comments feel the need to downgrade someone else to prove your own point?! Reading what most of you have to say really frightens me because the thought that there is so much hatred and animosity amongst ourselves within this great nation lends itself to an impossibility to unite. How about we share our opinions without bashing others, and look at compromise and synthesis as a means to move forward? Extremism of any nature, for any candidate, religion, political methodology, or cultural belief can never be beneficial. Accept differing opinions, as were provided by the hecklers in the article, and try to understand where someone is coming from instead of writing them off as lunatics or "Nazis". Are you guys really serious?!

Bush/Cheney need to be much more than heckled! The whole administration should be brought up on criminal charges and thrown in prison. They have trampled the US Constitution, sold our countries economic sould to Communist China, sent our brothers and sisters to their untimely deaths in an illegal, misled and lied about war, instituted torture, broken Federal privacy laws, etc etc etc, the list goes on! They have all spit in the faces of Americans and yet so many still embrace these elitist scumbags. ALL of them have guilt and innocent peoples blood on their hands.

DISSENT IS PATRIOTISM for all of you woolen ones out there. To say nothing and follow blindly is fascism! Get it? I fear my own government more than I fear any so-called "terrorists".

Being ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.

These loudmoth Pinkos are able to spit their venom onlly because me and my children have fought for that right. In my Parents Generation they would be tried for Treason.

Fortunately this 4th of July we find ourselves again not attacked on our homeland due to Mr. Bush's foreign policy.

I, for one, am living a great life with a wonderful family and excellent job. SCOTUS has just reconfirmed my right to bear arms.

This 4th of July is a time to reflect on all our blessings and I thank Mr. Bush first and foremost.

You can argue that George Bush is not a war criminal? I'm listening.

TO PHIL IN FLA.:

YOU FORGOT Cheney, Rove and Rumsfeld–they also need to spend about 10 years in Gitmo. All need to be prosecuted for War Crimes.

LETS SEE NOW.

THE PRICE OF GAS UP 300% & GOING UP.

THE PRICE OF FOOD UP 50% & GOING UP.

THE DOLLAR DOWN 60% & GOING DOWN.

WE GOT HERE BY OUR OWN HAND THAT

CASTED THAT VOTE. LETS HAVE A FEW BOOOOS

FOR THE AMERICAN VOTER.

Bush and Cheney are both war criminals and should get what they deserve, rot in jail .

We don't have free speech in America. I should be able to counter heckling with a can of "shut the **** up", but I'm not allowed.

I'M SURPRISED IT HASN'T BEEN MUCH WORSE, AFTER ALL HE IS THE DECIDER, AND HE DECIDED TO INVADE A SOVRIEGN NATION JUST BECAUSE. ???????

These people ought to just shut up and be thankful that someone has kept their pathetic selves safe these last 7 (really 232) years. I am so sick of this self-righteous, mindless opposition to a war and foreign policy (Afghan, Lybia, Iraq, North Korea, soon Iran have been stymied) that has been fantastically successful in historic terms. Thankfully this "war is lost if we implement the surge" (good one, Harry Reid) fanatic fringe of the Democratic Party will cost them the election.

Freedom of speech? I guess it depends on who you are saying it about and where you are. You have to make to your freedom of speech known in the voting booths.

Please leave already war criminal!

it's about time people showed how fed up they are with the current administration and its arrogant and draconian policies. the Iraq war has crippled this country needlessly, bin Laden is still on the loose (the CIA unit hunting him was disbanded), the dollar is in the toilet, gas is through the roof, we are deeply in hock to the Chinese government, and America has lost most of the stature it had gained since WW II – all this on his watch. while I applaud the hecklers, I know their cries of indignation are falling on deaf ears. Mr. Bush simply does not care.

THEY WERE EXPRESSING, ONLY

WHAT MOST AMERICANS FEEL.

The fuheres's henchmen strike again. There is no freedom of expression in this country anymore. and remember – McSame is the fuherer's clone and agrees with every thing fuherer Bush says and does.

None of us want a war in Iraq and I know it's hard to keep quiet sometimes, but he is our president. Get happy he will be gone SOON ! STILL SHOW A LITTLE R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

OBAMA 08

Well……that's what happens when you become a President. You either are going to be the best or the worst. Plus, is not like President Bush is the only one to have go through this. This is what our country is since the beginning…

Patrionism is not thinking what is best for us or not, is living on this land where our Founding Fathers made for us 200+ years ago……don't believe me, just ask them why they did this for us…

IT IS HUMILIATING & SHAMEFUL BUT PRESIDENT BUSH

HAS NOT LEFT US MUCH TO BE CELEBRATE ABOUT.

AND WHAT'S EVEN MORE SHAMEFUL, IS THAT AMERICANS

WERE THAT EASY TO MANIPULATE, INTO VOTING FOR HIM.

AND TO CONTINUE THE LEGACY OF THAT SHAME MCBUSH IS

USING THE SAME TACTICS THAT WORKED FOR BOTH BUSHES.

Good for all, people are hurt and tired of the games from this president.

How unfortunate that for many, even if they don't care for the President's policies, that we live in a society that we have lost our ability to respect a president's position. Actually there is very little respect for people toward each other as a whole!

He is a war criminal and brought facism to America–correct that–he brought it to the White House and then to the business of governing as it is really part of the Conservative Agenda and always has been.

I cannot believe that Bush was actually TALKING about freedom of speech as those citizens were being dragged away for exorcising that very freedom.

Clearly you do not have freedom of speech if you disagree with Bush.
Also, your not a patriot if you don't support Bush's WARS.

Next time there will be snipers exorcising preemptive strikes on those citizens Bush feels may speak out in disagreement.

YOUR freedom stops where MY nose begins. To disrupt a naturalization ceremony that celebrates others' joy at becoming an American citizen — this is NOT what I consider "exercising one's freedom of speech." This is egomania and disrespect towards your fellow man. But the liberals continue to get that one wrong!

ANNOY THE LIBERALS
Work — Succeed — Be Happy!

SHAME ON AMERICA FOR NOT IMPEACHING bush THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY. OUR CHILDRENS CHILDREN WILL STILL BE PAYING THE PRICE. DOWN WITH CORPERATE PIGS AND ALL WHO ARE THIER PAWNS

good, now if congress would just impeach this acehole and the next President would prosecute them and let the Hague at these guys.

Remember when the President of this great country was respected? The country can still be great but, this gang of hoodlums, and those that think they way they do, need to go. The people of this country are angry at Bush and it shows at events like these. There will be more of this, and it's more than deserved.

A sentiment that is echo from a lot of places.

We can't wait to take back our country.

The time is near! No Bush – No Mc Same!

take that. people are tired of bush, they should have been this tired, four years ago. but now will do, i guess.

Bush is a war criminal. He lied about the Iraq invasion. Lied about WMD's and he has over 4000+ dead Americans blood on his hands. We have freedom of speech in America or at least we did until he was elected by the Supreme Court. Bush has trampled civil liberties and the constitution. Bush needs to be impeached NOW and must face war crimes charges. Pat you need really need to get a life. Bush is a dictator, nothing less. He eaves drops on Americans phone calls without proper authorization.. His administration spies on Hillary, Barack and many other powerful celebs and probably most law abiding citizens. He has ruined America's standing in the world and made Americans less safe at large. We can't travel in our own country without being suspected of something, all in the name of security. Bush must face the music and his crimes. I wonder who does he see when he looks in the mirror?? Happy 4th to ALL American's except Bush and Cheney!!

Oh Alex moonying. you suck

Now how did she get a ticket to get in???? I thought all of Bushies appearances were ticket holder only?????

He is the worst….he has done a lot of damage to this country….HOW does that man sleep at night??????????? When he comes on tv, I use the mute button, don't want to hear him or listen to him….

Obama taught the constitution…so what? Bush re-lives history. McCain makes it. America will rise! Happy 4th of July America.

Why should Bush bother to acknowledge the hecklers anyway ?
He's spent the better part of eight years refusing to acknowledge ANY truth – or its messengers.

good for them SPEAKING THE TRUTH wake up america lets get our country back vote obama keep our country from going down the drain with mccain

heckling is child's play….Bush should be charged for war crimes!

Saga4 Obama learn how to spell. You are a liberal idiot.

Many Americans who are now most opposed to the Iraq war, were the very same ones who supported it.

Not me.

But I don't call anyone a war criminal.

Maybe we should call 80% of Americans that for their early support?

hm how convinient that she happens to be black looks like another obama-nazi trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. every obama supporter wanto be famous lol what a joke she should be standing next to BUSH, cause all she did was make herself look like a fool. not surprising .

Isn't freedom swell?

Some of you people need to travel to other countries- then you will know what we have- no matter who is president- is so much better than any other country.

Great! Now we need Barack to win the election!

Obama '08

Hey at, as far as your comment is concerned, do you have any sons or daughters serving or have served in Iraq? I'm guessing not.

I'm sure Thomas Jefferson couldn't be more proud to have America's worst-ever president deliver a July 4th speech at Monticello. I'm pretty sure he'd have been the loudest protester.

Obama put them up to it

Then he can disapprove it in public and look nice.

Bush should be impeached – he will be forever known as the worst president ever to step foot in the white house. Words cannot describe my disgust with that man…..

there is nothing wrong with your country. every country is going throught hard time, life is not easy, sometimes its rough sometimes its rosy.you americans dont realize how lucky you are.most of you are just spoilt.

bush and mcbush get heckled everywhere they go.that's what they get for using our nation for personal and illegal gains.i hope they are imprisoned for their terrorist actions in iraq.

I am thoroughly apalled at what George Bush has done as president, and heartily ashamed of the direction this country has taken during his tenure. But I still believe the office of President (if not the man) should be respected… and to disrupt the president's speech, and mar this day of celebration for the new citizens, was a disgrace.

Happy freakin' Independence day Bush.

McSame better get used to hearing it every time he speaks too. We've let this country go long enough. It's time to hold these people accountable. First heckling and/or protesting, next war crime tribunal and other courts for all of the laws broken.

I agree with the protestors who were brave enough to verbally expose this 'president' for what he is. He should face impeachment hearings as proposed by Dennis Kucinich.

Does anyone want to listen to anything the man has to say? Not Hardly! No More Bush & No More McShame. OBAMA FOR PRES 08

That man needs to know all the way to the end of his presidency (thank God) that he is a disgrace.

He should be begging for our forgiveness. He LIED to WE THE PEOPLE and now over 4,000 of our soldiers have died.

His daughter said that she may not vote for McCain. There just may be a smarter bush.

I love it when Bush says we have "free speech" in this country as the shock troops carry away the protesters!

A vote for McCain is a vote for the rising wave of facism that Bush and his sick band of criminal friends brought to this nation!

bush should be charged for war crimes and putting America to this very difficult economic situation

Lock Bush up at Guantanamo – let the folks there give him a taste of what he authorized for them.

A Bushel and a Peck, and a Hug around the Neck! I thought this was the big day, of the USA…

In the land of free speech, only in America will you be escorted out if you don't agree.

Free Speech in America? I guess not.

Soon we'll have to get the secret service to wear red arm bands… we should also think about renaming homeland security to fatherland security while we're at it.

Honestly America, can't you see what the Republicans are doing to you?

I believe in free speach… but the hateful disrespect that Obama inspires in his followers reminds me of Germany and Hitler.

I love how they showed one protester being hauled off while the moron we have as president is saying "in America we believe in freedom of speech! " I am actually offended by that idiot giving a speech about independence when he has taken our freedoms from us! The Fascist regime of the Bush administration should not make speeches about what they don't support! He has committed treason against the people of these United States and the country! He should have never been president because the people didn't vote him in, the supreme court did! I say impeachment is long over due and he should be tried for treason and war crimes!

It is all the brainwashed haters for Obama representing their supreme leader.

You have to call 'em like see 'em!!!!

It is not slander if it's the truth.

Shannon
Independent Voter

It is the nasty Hitler youth…. I mean the inspired Obama youth.

Nasty is all they know.

Trash everyone.

They did it to a candidate of their own party… and all HER supporters…of course they will do it to Bush.

He needs to be heckled. Well under 200 days until he leaves the WH. I was looking forward to that but now with these 2 candidates I don't think its going to be any better with Obama flip flopping on everything and McCain being a Republican. Gosh we need Hillary more than ever.

GOOD! As much as Bush wants to stop it, we still have the right to free speech. I'm glad someone used it this 4th of July.

The days of the Bush presidency are numbered. Maybe, by next 4th of July the gift to our country will be that Bush is brought up on charges as a war criminal.

OBAMA 08 & 12 God Bless America (and everyone else too).

bush extolling free speech? and at the home of the greatest president this country ever had..the author of the declaration which we celebrate today! TJ would be turning over in his grave if he knew this moron was speaking at HIS home on this day!! don't know if it was lost on the media, but did anyone, seeing the video of those calling this moron to account for the 4114 young americans he sent to their deaths in his mercenary war on Iraq for Oil (I say 'oil' because ALL other reasons he gave for this action have since been discredited and oil (ironically the only reason this moron's regime hasn't cited) is, by default, the ONLY one that remains..he has no original thoughts..was being heckled and didnt for a second deviate from those who tell him what to say. Hitler in poland, the Moron in Iraq…no difference.

When the heckler yelled and bush said we had "free speech" in this country people clapped. Where in the devil are there still people in this country that APPROVE of bush….

That is all the Obama people know.

They can not show respect for anyone that disagrees with them.

They are loudmouthed, demanding bullies.

They stole the democratic nomination that way.

For the record:
For each of you saying Obama hasn't changed his position I ask you to remember how he mocked Hillary. Obama said her Iraq position of having a measured safe withdraw by not committing to a specific timeline was wrong. Seems he now is saying Hillary was right, and he was wrong. Face it folks you were blinded by his rock star show ignoring his inexperience and his past relationships. Each of you kept giving him the benefit of the doubt, just like so many did for Bush and look where that got us.

Just say no deal. NObama.

Well, they do have a point. This is the president (and lets not forget the vice president also) who gave the thumbs up to torture. I don't like terrorists anymore than the next person, but what that has done is shown we are no better than the terrorists and ruined our reputation worldwide for a long time to come.

Like he really cares what people think! Like another person said: SO!

I feel those two individuals pain. Unfortunatly, the powers that be continue to be in control and we must wait 6 more months until they are gone!!!!!!!! Let's hope we do not have a rerun this November!!!!!

OBAMA 2008

I hear that all day from different people at my convenience store but in a low and fearful voice. Here I heard a lady with lot of courage.Does not sound good but a bitter truth.I wish the politicians had that courage

Finally someone speaking the truth!

Bush is a WAR CRIMINAL who brings dishonor to our country!
He has done what his Nazi lovin' Grand Parents (HERBERT WALKER and PRESCOTT BUSH had spent the better part of the 20th Century trying to do

BRING A NAZI REGIME TO THE UNITED STATES and SUBVERT THE CONSTIUTION and wipe his Butt on THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

All citizens (especially any one who has sworn to uphold the Constitution) should attempt to arrestr the WAR CRIMINASL BUSH and Chenney and make a scene as the Secret Service escorts you away from the event!

American's need to stand up and oppose this Vichy Goverment…so that the world can see that we stand for the principals that our founding father's belived in enough to risk their very necks for!

Bush is a traitor…and any one who thinks we belong in IRAQ…should go and sign up (no matter if you have served…or if you are too old ,Blackwater will take you.!

Cowardly bastards who want to send some one else over there …..can't speak untill they are in Bagdahd

Hmmm? Looks like someone forgot to take out the trash. Simple minded goobers with nothing to do except grasp at attention for mouthing what they believe to be popular.
Why are they always butt ugly to boot?

It brings warmth to my heart to see my fellow citizens doing what is right even if it makes them look like they are doing the wrong thing. This President is a Fascist and a War Criminal and deserves to be locked up! I sure hope when Obama does become President that this is the first thing he does in office!

Obama Richardson 2008!!!!!!!

Good for them! WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK! No Bush – No Mc Same!

another way to speak out against the war criminals of the GOP-Kada is to not vote for 100 years more McCain…AMERICA UNITE>>>happy birthday

Bush is the only president in history to bring shame on America by mistreating not only prisoners, but even American citizens.
He has done more harm to America than any other person that has ever lived.

Good for them! Barack the VOTE!

Happy Independence day!!!????

after all the DAMAGE the GGOP-kada has done in this country? he is worried about a heckler? may be John can give him some advise since John cant make a speech without getting heckled…
George W. Bush the only American president that has to move out of America when his term is over…

If they have FREE speech why are they being dragged away?

Bush doesn't like what they said so he sends his henchmen to shut them up. When Americans do not like what Bush says, we are all stuck listening to him.

Some people really need to get a life!
