"Disturbers" thrown out of Betrayus hearings

[panader0]

Only supporters allowed. What an ass. (Ike Skelton)

1. Oh grow up!

I would like to hear what is being said. Code Pink called attention to themselves, now let's get on with the hearing.

[rockymountaindem]

2. Agreed n/t

[panader0]

3. Protesting is immature?

It's just like bush only appearing in fromt of friendly audiences. Besides, don't you already know what he'll say? "The surge is working" "We need more time" bush's talking points.......

[wndycty]

5. Protesting is not immature. . .

. . .not understanding there is a time and place for it is. There is important information that we want to hear so that we can determine whether or not its factual and how best to respond. I fully support war protest (hell I was even part of the march that shut down Lake Shore Drive in Chicago on the first night of the war), but its gets out of hand when the Congress can't even conduct hearings.

10. IT's the Bily Jack way....

[panader0]

15. So, shutting down Lake Shore Drive is OK

but raising your voice is not. Is that what you mean by "Grow up"?

[Cameron27]

4. Agreed

and they wasted the protest on a nothing moment.

[TwilightGardener]

7. Agreed. Bad form.

[panader0]

9. I think the real bad form is the war and the totally ineffectual

congress that holds these bullshit hearings.

[SoCalDem]

14. yes ..we wouldn't want to miss a second of the speechifying

by the republicans, who seem to have NO questions.. just taking every opportunity to say the code words over and over and over..

1. surge
2. Is-Lamb-ick
3. working
4. succeeding
5. Reagan

etc etc

6. Idiots.

Good for Skelton. It's not for supporters only, but it's not for DISRUPTORS either. If they just silently protested with tee shirts or signs or whatever, that would be one thing, but no, they can't manage that.

[wndycty]

8. Yes and if they want to protest outside of the Capitol or inside the meeting room. . .

. . .the minute it is over go for it. But this is some important shit and we need to hear what is being said.

11. Disturbing a hearing does not help

It delays and prolongs the hearing. I hate meetings/hearings that take longer than they need. I have other chores that need to be performed. If I was there in person I would not be happy when others are disturbing the hearing especially when I have difficulty hearing in rooms with poor acoustics.


As I stated in my post... Respectfully to Ike Skelton enough of the prologue. Have Petraeus give his report.

I thought for a bit that Representative Tom Lantos was a Vampire when I heard his talk.

[LiberalFighter]

12. The protestors could had done a better job when Petraeus

began reporting bullshit by putting on the "Bullshit Protector" earflaps.

Get yours here. Build your own Bullshit Protectors

I would had put them on when the idiot Duncan Hunter began talking too.

13. Americans thrown out of our own government

Well it's time we dump them in Boston Harbor

[Mike Daniels]

16. Disruptors thrown out of a business meeting is more on-target
