11. His first response to the protestors
Edited on Tue May-27-08 11:33 AM by LiberalAndProud
promised to honor free speech, but scolded them for being rude, then responded to the chanters,

"MY FRIENDS, I WILL NEVER SURRENDER IN IRAQ. OUR AMERICAN TROOPS WILL COME HOME WITH VICTORY AND WITH HONOR. AND WE ARE WINNING."

He is now talking about nuclear nonproliferation treaties. Something in there about appeasing Russia and China and some other folks. Talking about requirements and compliance issues.


Edit:
He is talking about it "now" as opposed to "not"

12. Energy alternatives ...
Can't let countries to enrich uranium for civilian purposes. Multinational enrichment centers under international supervision. Rejected by Iran. Iran needs outside encouragement to accept. Yucca mountain.

this is getting kinda more than scary.

7. I've been listening to it...
It's kind of funny that he's complaining that "we on the left" would are the kind that would be interfering with his "freedom of speech"... Not of course acknowledging that his speech is "amplified" by the M$M, and those who have other views are not given equal voice so that THEY have freedom of speech!

15. He said his freedom of speech was being infringed upon
As the protestors were being escorted out the door by security.

Looks like only the Repubs have freedom of speech.

27. its the ole double standard
it's amazing how they manage to mangle the Constitution, but they cry out for it for when it suits their own purpose. What total BS this man is, just another clone/crony of the * loyals.

17. Oh no! did they interrupt his electric oratory performance
I just got back from getting lunch and the whole time I was out all I could think was "Man there is some sort of energy in the air. Some sort of exciting force of will and spirit at work right now" and what do you know... it was a McCain speech.

:sarcasm:

18. Kudos to the protesters. If Democrats want to make nice,
we'll be looking at a minimum of 4 more years of flag-covered boxes coming back from Iraq. The world needs to know we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any more.

29. Haaa! No wonder McSame wants to keep the events low-key and
without much media. He doesn't want the media showing that he's getting the business at his events.
