Alabama commemorative march turned to an anti * rally

Did any one see that scroll earlier this morning on CNN? Or did I not have enough caffeine in my system?

1. Was it this?

"Hands that once picked cotton will now pick a president," Jackson said. "We deserve a change, and we now have the power to make that change."

"We can bring George Bush back to Alabama to finish his Guard duty," (Jesse) Jackson said.

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich addressed the crowd via cell phone. He referred to the 2000 presidential election, which Bush won by only a few hundred votes after a vote-counting crisis in Florida.

"We learned from Florida how voting rights is a continuing issue," Kucinich said. He said "eternal vigilance" would be the price to pay for needed monitoring and accountability in voting venues across the country.

"I'm dedicated to a nation that can truly live its dream as a nation for the people and by the people as evidenced in the ballot box," Kucinich said.

At the end of the rally, the crowd sang several songs, including a verse which rang, "Ain't gonna let Bush-whacker turn me 'round."

2. Thanks, that probably is it.

The scroll was short on detail.

3. S'funny

That excerpt is the only part of a long article that mentioned Bush. It's mild stuff, too. Sounds like CNN's stirring up crap over nothing.
