Cheney told to f*ck off.
Did anybody see the video of Cheney standing there giving interviews when off camera a guy starts telling him to f*ck off or to go f*ck himself?
At first I thought it was brilliant. I laughed my ass off at it. And then I thought how angry that protester must have been. His house washed away, perhaps family or friends dead, and then he sees this prick glossing things over. I thought of that guy and how desperate he must've felt.
Yay....and to automatically dismiss this guy as a chopper-assaulting nutcase is a bit hasty IMO....
He will have plenty to be sore with Cheney about that tonnes of other people would be sore about too on top of probably just losing his home while the administration have pissed about constantly, hanging him out to dry along with the rest of Louisiana.... 🙁
A sad state of affairs indeed though.....
No, I didn't see or hear of this....

No, this is one of the people who's expressing his right to criticize the government. He's not being an idiot, he's expressing his opinion and disgust with the federal government in an appropriate way -- there's nothing violent in telling someone you're majorly pissed with to **** off. Imagine what these people are going through and tell me you wouldn't do the same. I don't think you could.

Who gives a damn about American politics, or for that matter, about politics period?Politics and politicians are for three kinds of people:
1. Those looking for a power trip.
2. Those in need of leadership (like sheep and christians)
3. Vanity studs.
Or maybe people who are interested in politics just like to know how the world works, NOT be ignorant sheep, and want to make sure things get changed and know the ways to go about doing so?

Politics wont teach you how the world works, nor will it enable you to change the world - politics only teaches us via example that people never learn from history...politics and politicians have never changed.

No I don't think I would pull a Ned Flanders if my house were annihilated by a hurricane. One of the things my parents have taught me is that even if things go crap it doesn't give you an excuse to flame every person around you.
I think that if anyone is respnosible for this hurricane problems(not the hurricane; just the lack of help) it's the state of Louisiana and its officials. Does anybody realize how corrupt New Orleans is?
Yes, the federal government is acting quite silly but why cant this screaming man go complain to the Mayor or Governor who are much more responsible than Bush or Cheney?
I'm sorry to say it but this man is almost on par with being a protester to me(and I agree with Backfire's philosphy of protesters being idiots). Instead of screaming at people why doesn't this man do something about his problems?
And Sadako of Girth..... no I am just putting him in the general group of people who need to use a little comon sense when dealing with things. He isn't exactly a looter, protester, or gun toting gangster but these three groups all express a large amount of idiocy.
Actually a lot of how the world works IS down to politics....especially these days.....
Why cant you fly a Union Jack flag or the St.Georges cross in ENGLAND in most parts....? Politics decided that.
Laws..... affected by politics.
Public Speaking: All to affected by POLICTICAL correctness....
Wars: Politicians again.
Prices of fuel...? Affected by the 'war' in the middle east (Which is down to politicians) and taxing. (Politicians again)
Prices of nearly everything as a knock-on effect of fuel/shipping prices and politics regarding other countries...?
See above answer...
Noticed that in the UK the amount of pub venues allowed to have live bands were almost killed off in most areas in the mid-nineties...?
Taxation by the Government in the form of a "Music licence" by Blair who professed to wanna help musicians in the UK and even posed with a guitar to get young voters on side.... Hypocrite bastard.
If you look at most aspects of life, sadly they are governed by Politics.

Yup, yup. I don't care if they're protesting nuclear bombs, abortion, or the fact that they wish the government would provide them with a brain, protesters still look like, well, for lack of of any positive words, protesters.
