catbirdseat Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Bush thinks he can pull the same shit he does here while visiting a foreign country. Try staging a protest anywhere within a mile of GW in this country and see what happens. It is just part of Bush's attack on civil rights.

erik Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 this is mt favorite quote: Â The coalition says that it has also been told by British officials that American officials want a distance kept between Mr Bush and protesters, for security reasons and to prevent their appearance in the same television shots.

Necronomicon Posted November 12, 2003 Author Share Posted November 12, 2003 I gave up my civil rights when I voted for Nader. OOPS! Â But at least I can have the soothing feeling of watching Bush give a speech in London about how we are "Winning the War on Terror" in front of "Winning the War on Terror" banners, rather than a sea of angry Brits.

minx Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 i still assert that Bush looks like a kiebler elf. i find it disconcerting to listen to him talk about foreign policy, the economy, the war on terror when i keep seeing him running around a tree selling cookies.

murraysovereign Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 This whole "No Protestors, Please" thing reminds me of GWB's invitation to address the European Parliament in the run-up to the war in Iraq. Apparently the invitation was accepted, but only on the condition that GWB be greeted warmly and enthusiastically. Specifically, the deal was: No Standing Ovation - No Speech. The European Parliament wouldn't guarantee a standing ovation - or any applause at all, for that matter - preferring to hear the speech first before deciding if it was any good, so the White House declined the invitation. GWB and the people around him are, collectively, behaving a bit like a spoiled 4-year-old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialed Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 This speaks to my whole theory of Bush's disturbing political strategy. His team is very very adept at smoke and mirrors. He understands how to use the media to his advantage so well, that he uses it as a proxy for good policy. All spin, no substance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Yeah this is pretty stupid, but it happens in other situations as well. For instance, protestors against China's policies get sent off to a certain area when somebody like Jaing Zemin comes. Jaing doesn't even see 'em. And, I remember the a similiar thing happening in Spokane when Al Gore came to campaign - all the anti-Gore protestors were put into a special area.
