SubscribeAbout Yesterday’s Huge Impeachment Events
This is how yesterday’s worldwide impeachment events have been breathlessly hyped for weeks at sites like AfterDowningStreet:
April 28, 2007: Impeachment Summer Begins This Spring!
George Bush and Dick Cheney have lied the nation into a war of aggression, are spying in open violation of the law, and have sanctioned the use of torture. These are high crimes and misdemeanors that demand accountability. Since Congress doesn’t seem to get it, on April 28 Americans from Miami, Florida to North Pole, Alaska are going to spell it out for them: IMPEACH!
Use the new ImpeachMap to find out what’s going on in your area, post a new action, or find people to team up with.
RED markers indicate A28 actions being planned. BLUE markers show people who are looking for others to team up with. GREEN markers represent actions that need some financial help. And the AIRPLANE markers show where we will have A28 ImpeachPlanes towing IMPEACH banners over different cities. You can now add a red marker to post your action or add a blue marker to signal that you’re looking for people to join up with. Please be sure to include your e-mail address in your marker description so we, and others, can contact you!
The theme of the day is spell it out, and we’re going to put the word IMPEACH! everywhere on April 28. If you’re in Miami you can join the Unwelcoming Party for George Bush, who will speaking at Miami Dade College that day. If you’re in San Diego you can tell Nancy Pelosi to put impeachment back on the table. And there are more than 100 hundred other actions planned around the country! It’s time to say NO to impunity for lying, spying, and torture–and YES to H. Res 333, the bold Articles of Impeachment Congressman Dennis Kucinich has filed against Dick Cheney.
Anybody can start an A28 action. It can be as small as writing IMPEACH on the sidewalk in chalk or as large as organizing 2,000 people on a beach to make a human mural. Be creative! Some of the ways that people are talking about spelling it out include: signs, gigantic lasers, toy soldiers, stencils, LED throwies, freewayblogging, banner drops, light projections, t-shirts, rocks, skydivers, skywriters, peaches, christmas lights, flags and balloons. Join the discussion about creative ways to spell it out on A28’s new ImpeachSpace network.
But alas their reach exceeded their grasp — as usual, as even their colleagues at the Washington Post were forced to admit:
Sending a Message, With Unimpeachable Clarity
By Paul Schwartzman
Sunday, April 29, 2007; A04The protesters assembled on the Mall yesterday with a plan to voice their less-than-generous views about a certain president and his vice president. They would form a human chain to spell out I-M-P-E-A-C-H, even including an exclamation point.
But only 150 or so showed up, far fewer than the 1,000 organizers had hoped for. As their photo opportunity approached, they knew they’d be lucky to spell I-M-P.
“We’re going to have to scrap the big plan,” George Ripley, the protest’s leader, announced. He advised his allies to rearrange everyone. They would still form I-M-P-E-A-C-H-!, he insisted, only on a tad smaller scale.
“A nightmare,” a pony-tailed confederate said, shaking his head…
While everyone waited for the photographers to reach the top of the monument, a guy in a tie-dyed T-shirt led them in a chant:
” Give me an I! . . . Give me an M! . . . Give me a P! . . . ” …
A book was being passed around. Ripley implored the protesters to share their ideas, poems and artwork. Then a cellphone rang. The photographers had reached the top of the monument and were snapping away.
“Thanks so much,” Ripley told the crowd, before another idea came to mind. Would everyone form a big circle around a giant “W,” with a pink slash running through it?
How about it?
There were a few murmurs and mumbles as the protesters started drifting away.
“I can’t do it,” Ripley said with a sigh. “Party’s over.”
Oddly enough the Washington Post didn’t even publish a photo of the turnout. In fact, none of the wire services seemed to have any photographs of this worldwide event.
Apart from these two of the same woman, which the folks at AfterDowingStreet jumped on like a duck on a June bug:
Impeachment photos from AP in Rome, Italy
[AP caption:] Tourists walk past Stephanie Westbrook, of Huston, Texas, a U.S. citizen living in Rome since 1991, holding a placard as she and a handful of country fellows gather near Rome’s Colosseum, Saturday, April 28, 2007, demanding the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, saying they lied to the world about going to war in Iraq.’
Not much to show for all their “efforts.”
And just imagine if these groups didn’t have our watchdog media on their side.

Tis’ Spring. The Flowers and Idiots are blooming.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:21 am
Did these fools lack some sort of vitamin when they were growing up? Such a waste of time, perhaps these fools can spell out the same message to some of dictators around the world, instead of carping about the one who was actually stopped.
April 30th, 2007 at 4:22 am
Impeach Bush? Howzabout…Get A Life!! Ignorant morons need an outlet….and this kind of nonsense seems to fit the bill. Grow the eff up, for your own sake.
April 30th, 2007 at 4:25 am
Seems to me George Bush had a mandate for going into Iraq. It wasn’t until after Saddam was gone and an insurgency popped up that these fair weather warmongers started their whining and crying.
Wars are okay for a liberal as long as the end quickly with a minimum of U.S. casualties. Well…except for Vietnam.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say again ‘cuz I like it…”If Walter Cronkite had been on Omaha beach filming the deaths of our sevice members, Congress would have pulled out of WWII and Europe would still be a National Socialist state, there would be no Israel, and Jews would be a significant minority. War footage is NOT for the dinner hour.
April 30th, 2007 at 4:45 am
As much as I like to be informed and see footage of the battles, I agree with LNM….footage of carnage( which is an essential part of war) should be shown like all the rest of the shows the censors only allow after prime time.
Also, if reporters of today had been anywhere during WW2….we would be isolated and fearful of attack at best, or under the Nazi bootheel on the east coast, and the Japanese on the west coast. Hey, we almost are, but the democrats need to win the white house first….pelosi got assurances of shared power from Assad….
Reporters are responsible for sensationalizing a war they profess to be against. Bullshit. They hope that conflicts happen, because they make their money, they look for that cheapened Pulitzer….but most of all, they are adrenaline junkies, and they seek out human conflict because they enjoy witnessing it, and by proxy, they are “there” but dont have to kill anyone.
Easy to have an opinion when you hold yourself higher than the people you cover. The bad part is, people read your stories, look at your pictures, and form opinions on what you report….which is not necessarily the way it really happened. Haditha comes to mind….journalists are the used car salesmen of what used to be a craft. They are only about two notches above politicians…..and the flush handle is five notches above them.
Oh, as an aside, Cronkite was there during world war two, he was virulently anti japanese and anti german….and did what everyone did back then, fought to win. He was convinced by the propaganda of the socialists during viet nam…..a war fought by totally unqualified jerks in washington instead of being fought by soldiers. I never watched Cronkite after his “we lost” speech…because that day..”he lost”…. respect.

Don’t get me started on Cronkite; like all youth I was brainwashed while growing up into thinking he was the modern Murrow; it’s only later in life I found out that statement was more accurate than I thought, as neither was anywhere close to the “unbiased journalist” their ideals supposedly demanded.
Frankly, we’ll never be told the truth in the MSM about the (lack of) evidence for impeachment; that would be like the MSM admitting that “Mission Accomplished” was truthful as the Mission - removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq - had indeed been Accomplished…

Of course Sen. Harry Reid had to give his ‘the war is lost speech’ in the liberal, barking moonbat world - those are the words that brought about the end of the war and led to the impeachment of a reviled Repub President. . .
The problem is that like Vietnam - OIF is not lost, there is not the ‘overwhelming majority’ that Pelosi and Reid claim or they would not have to put in troop withdrawal timetables (which in addition to ‘making a statement’ also garners votes from the luntic anti-war fringe politicos) and of course the pork (which actually bought votes and also violated Ms Pelosi’s own expressed stop the pork comment upon assumption of her perceived ‘power’) and finally to impeach a President (and it does not always go to resignation) there has to be a crime - which we know this far into the Bush Administration - isn’t going to be uncovered no matter how many times the dem ‘committees’ lift that damn rug.
So instead they lie, waste time and money and accomplish nothing - which given their ‘progressive’ agenda is actually a good thing. And of course their not accomplishing a damn thing will po voters on all sides of the ‘aisle’ . . . Problem is nothing gets done, we are still being overwhelmed and put at risk by illegal aliens, the Troops are not funded and the overblown and overhyped lies and blather continues on unabaited. . . We have all heard it before and no proof has ever been found. Ever.
Can we question their bias now?

They follow Joe Gobbels’ playbook: Tell a big enough lie often enough and some folks will believe it. (It worked for Adolph) As Bubba proved, you only need around 47% every four years. Those of us on the right side have a big problem in that we don’t ‘toe the party line’. Wide range of views. And, unlike Reagan, many won’t accept 60 or 70% of what they want. “If you don’t support exactly what I believe, I’m staying home”. So they get someone who gives them 0% of what they believe. That has to change. We may not get exactly what we want, so we do have to vote for the lesser of evils, but at least we will get the lesser of evil.
I’m not sure we can survive much more of the greater of evil.

I wonder how many people I need to spell out ‘liberal assholes’” on Waikiki Beach?

wardmama4…a post of intellect and profound truth. I salute you!

ncj,
Just one really big guy with liberal written over his bung hole.

The matter of pre-war intelligence was thoroughly investigated by the bi-partisan Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which filed a lengthy report of its findings, and they found no evidence that Bush/Cheney had knowingly used bad intelligence in support of the war.
For the sake of argument, this bi-partisan commitee was under a Republican Congress. Just to be fair.
Nonetheless, these impeachment moonbats are so far divorced from reality.
April 30th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
The British Butler commission found that Saddam did try to buy Uranium, as did the Senate Intelligence committee. Using ‘Honest” Joe’s own data, no less. The moonbats may be divorced from reality, Peloonie, Weed, and the rest of the ‘Rats are just lying. [and a bunch of other words not suitable for publication]

I remember when the Soviet Union controlled all the media…all of it. Pravda was often quoted, and then laughed at for it’s being so ludicrous. I remember thinking how nice it was that that kind of crap could never happen here.
That was then, this is now. Our media is controlled, but by seditious anti American liberals with nothing more than the downfall of conservatism as their goal. They approach it with the same zealousness of the muslims and jihad, only they are playing for more than religious convictions….they are playing for power.
Now, one has to dig to find anything resembling the truth about anything. We have sat idley by, and watched our own media slowly turn into a living shell of Pravda, and of the other dictator run publications who only spout the party line.
I never thought I would not be able to be free to state my opinon. Not in a million years would I think that in my own country….my opinion will never be allowed because it differs from the media’s agenda, and is directly contrary to pelosi’s insurgency… and I am muzzled.
If it werent for S&L, I would scarce be heard. And that is going to remain so for as long as SG is allowed to keep it open.
