DAMNIT. I became a US Citizen last year at Monticello, and had to listen to Sam freaking Waterston. And this lucky batch didn't just see the President, they shook hands and talked and took photos :(

Classy. I'm sure the people that were there to become citizens were impressed as well.

I don't care what your cause is, heckling always makes you look like a fool.

I'm sure Bush has now reconsidered the error of his ways based on those shouts from lonely, pathetic, self-centered idiots who think any platform they can get to air their political worldview is justifiable.

Dancin_In_Anson:Classy. I'm sure the people that were there to become citizens were impressed as well.

Gosh, I would hope so. There are plenty of countries where those people would be taken away, never to be seen again. The fact that they weren't (at least as far as we know) speaks much about our country, don't you think? I mean, that's the whole idea of America.

He shouldn't be allowed to appear in public without having to face this. He should be haunted by this for the rest of his life. A social pariah. He and all his enablers.

I really hope this heckler gets sent off to Gitmo to be with his own kind.

Hobodeluxe:He shouldn't be allowed to appear in public without having to face this.

It's not about him. It's about those people being sworn in as citizens at one of the most significant events of their lives being marred by a few selfish disruptive asshats. Like nekom said, it doesn't matter what your political bent is; heckling makes you look like a fool.

I'm not a big fan of GWB, but even so, f*cking hippies.

What about if you're heckling a stand up comedian just so he can hilariously rip you to shreds?

Nabb1:I'm sure Bush has now reconsidered the error of his ways based on those shouts from lonely, pathetic, self-centered idiots who think any platform they can get to air their political worldview is justifiable.

Just because they choose to use their freedom of speech to tell the truth they're lonely, pathetic and self-centered idiots?

GWB better get used to it.


He's going to be remembered as a Nixon/Hoover type of figure.

No, because they think being disruptive at a ceremony honoring other people is an appropriate forum for their petty ax-grinding. Just because you have a right doesn't excuse you from making yourself a pimple on the ass of society when you exercise it.

it is about him. it's about disgracing him in front of the world.
it's about shunning him to the point that he's not invited to any more speaking engagements for fear of an uprising. Govt doesn't fear the people anymore. The people fear the govt and that's got to change.

smooshie:DAMNIT. I became a US Citizen last year at Monticello, and had to listen to Sam freaking Waterston. And this lucky batch didn't just see the President, they shook hands and talked and took photos :(

Whoa whoa whoa! I'll put of with a lot on Fark. I'll put up with trolls, assholes and flambait. I've seen people say horrible things, I've seen people stoop to amazing lows. I put up with it all.

I will NOT, however, put up with anyone besmirching the good name of Sam Waterston. I say good day to you, sir!

Jambuu:Just because they choose to use their freedom of speech to tell the truth they're lonely, pathetic and self-centered idiots?

You have no right to disrupt public events, none.

You cannot act like this in a restaurant nor at a graduation ceremony.

Had these protesters stood silently, perhaps holding a sign that did not block anyone's view, I might have considered this as being different.

Of course, one would have to question how these people even gained admission to this event. President Bush's staff has had a near rock solid history of making sure that protesters do not gain access to anywhere the president is speaking and these protesters were dressed pretty damn obviously to be missed.

Anyone else smell an artificially created media event?

Hobodeluxe:it is about him.

No, it's not. BDS is no excuse for rudeness. Janet Reno spoke at my law school graduation, and while I was no fan of hers at all, I would have been pretty pissed if someone disrupted my graduation to heckle her while she spoke (and political differences aside, it was a nice speech).

You can spot a conservative asshat anywhere just by them calling someone a "hippy".

Bush is a complete and utter failure, but I was a little embarrassed for him there.

No, troll boy, that's not what I said at all. It's still free speech, but you still may be a petulant snot by how you choose to exercise it.

That's because conservative asshats are the natural extension of tune in, turn on, and drop out. Hippies grew up, retained their same values of grandiose pseudo-religious worship of the self and voted for Reagan in droves. The Man that was keeping them down, conveniently became Bureaucrats -- and entire function of Government became the enrichment of the most selfish.



... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old mystic fallacy of the acid culture. The desperate assumption that somebody, or at least some force, is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.

Ah, it's Code Pink again. The Westboro Baptist of anti-war groups.

/yea, I understand your point boy.

Dancin_In_Anson:Jambuu:Just because they choose to use their freedom of speech to tell the truth they're lonely, pathetic and self-centered idiots?

It's not the what. It's the when and where.

Gee, somehow I don't think it would be realistic to expect Bush to set aside a time and place to address the grievances of these Americans. Under that consideration, they were completely within their right to address him directly. After all, it's been about 5 years since the war began...so, I think it was safe for them to assume that he would continue ignoring the issue and thus it would be up to them to choose the time and place of listing their grievances. As I'm sure you'll agree, Bush's people tend to vet their crowds to ensure a receptive audience. Nothing wrong with that, but then there's also nothing wrong with spoiling the makeup of a vetted crowd.

Between attacking people who are speaking their mind about legitimate grievances and remaining silent about the guy who started the whole Iraq thingy...well, maybe your scrutiny is slightly misplaced. Not much point in attacking protesters, they have not and could never cost the country as much as any politician.

Criticize those in power first, and the powerless never. I mean, that's just the practical approach to democracy, isn't it? What's the benefit in defending presidents against the criticism provided by a politically under represented bloc of the population?

DarnoKonrad:I SAID it's only applicable where I see convenient!


/yea, I understand your point boy.

No, I don't think you do, Chuckles.

he should be heckled at every event from now until the end of his life.

-janet reno didn't start a war based on lies.

it's a shame that some of you don't get it.

maybe if you lost a loved one over greed and lies...you might wake the fark up.

I'm inclined to agree, as much as this guy deserves a solid heckling. On the other hand, while I'm inclined to think these guys are a bunch of clowns, I can't really bring myself to care very much one way or another, here.

Oh, I get it. Plenty of people will excuse obnoxious behavior because it suits their political view. It's immature and sociopathic to a certain extent.

it disgusts me to see that the president had to come in to contact with people that disagree with him. We almost made it through 8 years before it happened. Usually his Dads' yes men do a pretty good job of insulating him from such a world. Why should little George have his feelings hurt while hes having such a blast playing president in his daddy's chair?

THIS. My commencement speaker was then-president of the World Bank James Wolfensohn, and of course the douchebag holier-than-thou campus activist groups had to protest and heckle during the speech. It's not like we had any input in selecting the commencement speaker, and on a day when some families have flown thousands of miles to be with their kids and celebrate the end of 4 long-ass years in college, they had to be subjected to this. Of course, it rained anyway, and the chairs were outside, so it mostly sucked regardless.

/Colleges should be forced by law to invite awesome commencement speakers.
//Went to a friend's graduation where Wynton-freaking-Marsalis was the speaker, he gave an awesome speech and then played trumpet solos for like 10 minutes

John Paul Jones:Gosh, I would hope so. There are plenty of countries where those people would be taken away, never to be seen again. The fact that they weren't (at least as far as we know) speaks much about our country, don't you think? I mean, that's the whole idea of America.

Maybe he forgot to hold it in a area that was a "Free speech zone". Oh yeah don't forget about our secret and not so secret prisons (see gitmo) where they hold you without telling you what you did wrong, just that you are an enemy and giving you that info might help you out.

Get real. When else and where else are dissatisfied Americans allowed to address Bush directly? This seems to be the only way, yes?

Such disrespect. There are much more appropriate ways to show one's displeasure. Sometimes I'm disgusted by people. This is one of those times.

it's nothing new.

you've always been a pussy.

well, maybe not "always"...but right now?

pussy.

-step the fark off.

you give real lawyers a bad name.

your "example" of logic was so poor...frankly, i couldn't believe it.

bush is a god damned traitor to the united states and should be shunned and ridiculed whenever he opens his poop hole.

damn, dude.

that_other_internet:Get real. When else and where else are dissatisfied Americans allowed to address Bush directly? This seems to be the only way, yes?

If this were an event where Bush was being honored, I probably wouldn't care. But, he was there to honor people being sworn in as US citizens. It's their ceremony, not his. Why should your desire to air your gripes to Bush trump their being sworn in as citizens?

that_other_internet:Gee, somehow I don't think it would be realistic to expect Bush to set aside a time and place to address the grievances of these Americans.

Gee somehow I bet the fark heads who heckled him during a naturalization ceremony could have found another venue to do their thing.
