As for the name calling, grow up.

And Michael, what us liberals can’t stand is people who put ‘Support The Troops’ bumper stickers on thier cars while they tell those of us who served to ‘shut up’ any time we try to speak out about this aweful war.

Representatives of IVAW were recieved by the Obama campaign in Denver when they marched to the event and asked to meet with his staff. In Minneapolis this week, when the group marched up to the Target Center, the McCain campaign had the veterans escorted off the premices.

When the doors are closed, we sometimes need to get your attention a bit so you can hear the message.

I found it an interesting moment when the crowd attemted to shout down the young man, being distracted from Sen. McCain’s speech, and then to hear them slowly quiet down as they realized they were boo’ing a war veteran. Talk about your awkward moments. Hard to honor service and ‘Support The Troops’ as you’re hauling one out of your event in handcuffs for holding up a sign.

I did see the pink lady get thrown out

Not sure if the balcony guy was removed–he was shown later, after holding his sign, making peace signs with both hands (same thing the woman on the floor did as she was being removed).

I say this because I’m watching everything on C-SPAN, and I saw the protestor or two being hustled out of the arena.

Besides… why *would* you watch it on CNN? Or Fox? Or any of the other networks, when you have the straight, unfiltered stuff on C-SPAN??
