Protestors delay Presidential press conference
I love this!!!

MSNBC just said that that the Bush press conference in Ireland has been delayed because of protestors holding up the motorcade. I don't have any links but this is great news. It means Boy George may have actually seen some signs.

Thank you, Irish men and women!!!

2. Ahh, too bad it wasn't himself!
But, in any case, the press is reporting that there are protestors. And to delay the live press event is great!

7. I know what we'll have to do to get our friends back
Bush and his gang of thieves, thugs, and religious wack jobs will have to be charged, tried, convicted and imprisoned. There should be no pardons. We need to convince the world that yes, this was an unlawful gang who seized power against the will of the people and will be held acocuntable for their crimes.

If they ever get out of prison, we need to turn them over to the Hague.

12. We ARE doing this. We protested both Cheney and Asscroft when they
Edited on Sat Jun-26-04 09:11 AM by KoKo01
came to NC. There are protest alerts posted here on DU when Cheney or the others come to a city in the US. There are always protestors, but the media doesn't cover us. We don't exist for them. And, you can't get close enough for them to see you. When Cheney came they found a back entrance and the black helicopters were swooping overhead. That's how we knew he had arrived because the helicopter came and then left when he was safely deposited at the fund raiser. We were kept behind wire fences at an entrance where the big donars were arriving, so they saw us but Cheney didn't. The fact that he and Shrub have to be "escorted" in through the back door means they know we are there, though.
