There is something very distasteful about this.
Hey "protester," hate George Bush, love him, but this event isn't about you and your homemade bed sheet of profundity. It's not about Bush either. But, as dumb as you think he is, he gets that and you don't.
It's the 4th of July... at the home of Thomas Jefferson, one of the men who penned the words that enunciate your freedom to now scream at the president... at a ceremony welcoming newly naturalized citizens no less. Very classy.
I especially enjoy the irony of that tubby protester in the Univ. of Virginia lacrosse t-shirt yelling of all the fascism Mr. Bush has brought to our shore. Indeed, those fascists are known for their tolerance of disrespectful numbnuts who interrupt a head of state speaking on the occasion of their nation's birth. In fact, history is littered with fascist rulers who have used the podium to calmly reaffirm a chowderhead's right to free speech at the same time said chowderhead is calling that ruler a criminal on national TV. If you have some time, there's a great book on the topic, "History's Freedom Lovers: Fascists and the Protesters Who Adore Them."
"Protester," I'm sure you think you are America epitomized... free speech and everything. But take a look across the stage as you're being dragged out of the event. Those folks with their right hands in the air epitomize America on this day. You take it for granted, and your actions disrespect those new Americans.
