Audacity of Truth
Flyswatter in Chief:
"He had this fly that was persistently buzzing around him during the interview...he swatted his hand and he said ‘I got the sucker’...it was a, you know, Dirty Harry ‘make my day’ moment."- The NYT's John Harwood, describing Obama's killing of a fly - 6/16/09
VIDEO: Cindy Sheehan, other far left anti-war protesters, disrupt Dem press conference
Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) was nicer than he should have been in the face of the disruption. Of course he probably realizes that crowd, as part of the Nutroots faction, helped get his party elected to the majority, so showing a little ‘respect’ for Sheehan and Co. appeared to be what he chose to do in response. Taking sort of a “don’t bite the hand that feeds” approach.
Here’s the story from Fox News.
Hat tip: ST reader Mwalimu Daudi
Update I: Via BizJournals:
Before the chanting started, Sheehan got a hug from Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., the new chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
Awww. Now why does that not surprise me?
Update II: Check out the reaction at Democrats.com. Think condemnation for Mother Sheehan’s actions is being expressed? Think again.
Update III: Here’s a better copy of the video from Ian at Hot Air. I didn’t realize Sheehan walked up to the podium where Emanuel had previously been. She used Emanuel’s podium as her pulpit after she and her crew yelled loud enough to get the Dems to leave it. Unreal.

Interesting observation CaptainVideo. The way the Dems quickly vacated the lectern, turning it over to the ever screeching Jihad Cindy, seems to me, upon further viewing, to be a tad too slick and quick, almost contrived. Your comment is just Machievelian enough to be true, I put nothing past the Democrats. How did she and her protesters get in? Who got them in and to the place in the right place to do this? Remember that she, along with other moonbat nuts, have been given passes to get them into events, such as the inauguration and State of the Union Address, before by ultra-left Democrat politicians. This may be what it seems on the surface, nothing more than a backlash by the nutroots against the Dems, or it could be an orchestrated attempt to make the Dems look centrist, or it could be infighting between the Dems (moonbat vs. moonbat lights).
Can you come up with something besides he’s just a traitor?
Hey chief, can you show me where I called him a traitor? Didn’t think so. Try and actually read the posts before you fly off the handle, ok? It’s called a differnece of opinion, look it up.
And since you swore to “uphold and defend the Constitution” when you went in then some might say you’re the traitor.
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, try again.
Bin Laden got exactly what he wanted: to get rid of our freedoms.
Really? I keep hearing about him and his group wanting to wipe Israel and the U.S. off the map. Still haven’t heard anything about them trying to get rid of our freedoms? Nice try, though.
The pity is he didn’t HAVE to do it, we did it to ourselves when all we had was, yes, a LAW ENFORCEMENT problem
Precisely the kind of thinking that led to the deaths of 3,000 people on 9/11. So we should have tried to arrest Bin Laden and his group rather than destroy them? Brilliant plan. Were you on Clinton’s cabinet?
Instead we pop off and invade Iraq.
Oh, I know. After only 12 short years of Saddam flipping off the U.N. and their inspectors we fly off the handle and invade for no reason.
