A woman stops D.Rumfeld during his speech - What do you think about that ?

[BonjourUSA]

"National Press Club" meeting - A woman accused publicly Rummy to base his politic on the lie. He didn't answer.

I think it's a courageous behavior. A little bit hystericÉ But courageous

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. And it got national attention

about time the sheeple realize that not everyone thinks what Shrub and Co do is 100% marvelous!

[ClintonTyree]

2. I saw that.................

she went on for quite some time before being silenced. I would rather have seen the look on Rummies face during the outburst, but the cameras were trained on her. She did a fine job.

[BonjourUSA]

5. she is in Guatanamo now ?

:-)

[bowens43]

3. I'm all for it.

Anyone who has the opportunity to challenge these liars in a public , televised forum should do so. Good for her!

[xchrom]

4. bravo! more! bravo!

[BiggJawn]

6. "Mr. Rumsfeld, You're FIRED!"

The look on his face before the cameras swung away was pure "Whaaaaa? Who DARES????"

[Bridget Burke]

7. Hysterical?

Do you know the history of that word? It derives from the Greek word for uterus & describes female misbehavior attributed to uterine disorders. It was a popular diagnosis until the early 20th century & a good excuse to keep women out of public life.

If you wish to define behavior anatomically, let's discuss the men at the Press Club, meekly accepting Rumsfeld's lies without complaint. Perhaps they were lacking something vital.

15. Touché!

Well said. Well aimed!

:toast:

PS: After some thought. Some of those docile reporters were women, don't forget.

[Le Taz Hot]

20. Ba da bing!

Excellent, BB!

Taz<--Still laughin' her ass off.

[BonjourUSA]

25. I would not like to stir up the war of the sexes.

In France "hysteric" is now in the ordinary language. It is used for the women but for the men too. It describes a behavior without "medical" allusion.

Find another word because my english is too much basic to do it. And excuse me if I have shocked you. As French that is a lapse :*

[BurtWorm]

28. Épater les bourgeoises, eh?

;)

It's actually in the ordinary language here, too, and few people know or think about its physiological origin. Though, more and more do since feminists pointed this out in the 1970s.

What's a better, more politic word? I don't know. I didn't see her outburst. Unrestrained? Je ne sais pas. :shrug:

[chiburb]

8. She's a Patriot!!! n/t

.

[sasquatch]

12. I agree

[el_gato]

9. A True Hero

If anybody is gonna rescue this country it will
be brave women like these two.

[ikojo]

10. As is said by Earth First!

DIRECT ACTION GETS THE GOODS!!!

These people don't understand kindness and diplomacy...they understand only bulliness.

[slappypan]

11. It was a brave gesture, but

she sounded shrill and incoherent. I wish she had kept it simple. That look on Rummy’s face was absolutely chilling. An evil, sadistic smirk.

[BonjourUSA]

14. T Rex

[ender]

19. so, when are you going to do something like that?

i mean, i'm sure you can keep it non-shrill.

kudos to her.

[BurtWorm]

23. I would be scared to death to do something like that

to confront the nation's chief war monger during a nationally broadcast event. Wow! That takes guts!

[slappypan]

24. look, I'm not trying to put her down

I just don't think she was persuasive to anyone not already on her side. Stuff like this is heartening to those of us who opposed the invasion of Iraq, but to most people it just looks like a 19-year-old having a silly tantrum. Believe me, I certainly don't know what the answer to this problem is and I wish I did.

[lumpy]

30. Incoherent ?

I understood every word she shouted.

[sistersofmercy]

13. Bonjour BonjouUSA,! Yes they are very courageous indeed!

Cheney was asked by Mayor Bloomberg not to attend the WTC site memorial today for "security" reasons. I think it was for two reasons actually, the families know protesters will come and secondly, a lot of the families did not want him there!

[rainy]

16. In norfolk when Ashcroft was here a man stood up in the middle of his

speech to the invited officers and yelled questions about free speech in this country before being excorted out. Over 100 people were protesting outside. It made our local news on tv and press.

[opihimoimoi]

21. The French Revolution was started by WOMEN

Pissed off house wives said NO MORE, NO MORE, NO MORE SHIT. Went on a rampage, men immediately joined in and viola.....Stormed the Bastille. Anoinette("Let them eat SHIT") and Louis among many other arrogant shit heads, lost their heads to the Guillitine

Collective Courage comes in Pulses... The Pubs want to subdue the Pulse, keep it managable. Bushco and Co. are unraveling at the moment,
unable to stem the TIDE.

They had their opportunity and fucking blew it....

[bif]

17. 2 thumbs up!

I'm amazed she got that close to him!

[DoYouEverWonder]

18. Is anyone helping

them with legal fees and lawyers? It's nice to cheer for them but they need money and good lawyers right now. Is anyone organizing anything for them?

[opihimoimoi]

22. Prolly in GitMo by now.

Dummy had an smiley/angry look followed by a smirk. That can only mean the poor lady will go to a place far away never to return.

[otohara]

26. Did You See How They Pushed Her Around

once the screams of Go HOme started.

[amish_enforcer]

27. Any footage online anywhere? N/T

[tom_paine]

29. Courageous & Brave.

In 20 years, when the last vestiges of the Old Republic have been swept away, and crazy George P. Caligula is Emperor, only God knows what such an act of defiance will cost you...
