Because Matt, we don't do foreign policy on the advice of code pink nutjobs, that's why.

When did Maliki ask us to leave Iraq, anyway?

Maliki Speech Video/Transcript... I've read the speech and it's quite good despite some minor heckling. I tried to pick some quotes but the speech is best whole. I'll place it in the extended entry or read it hear at Real Clear Politics .......

Oh golly gee, I am advocating criminal conduct! War profiteering, innocent people in Iraq blown to bits, domestic spying, US torture chambers and you are worried about a F_____g tshirt.

It's been illegal since at least 1946, Ken, and no, it's not funny.

Disagreement is one thing, but outright ignorance is another. Those "Free Speech" advocates are usually the first to cry like the baby's they are, when there is disagreement with their words. DIVIDE THE COUNTRY is the norm for Democrats of today, and they don't care or give a damn how they do it. There can be "No Doubt" that the "Divide The Country" people will cause the downfall of the USA. Then watch them cry. Only when there are several thousand people killed or the country falls, will they recognize the error of their stupidity.

That is funny.

Political speech in the capital during the presidents speech is now illegal, 'cause, you know, the whole world is watching.

What will conservatives think of next?

God forbid Cindy Sheehan should wear a t-shirt that Bush does not approve of.

Anjin-san, Cindy Sheehan didn't just "wear a t-shirt that Bush does not approve of." She wore a t-shirt with a conspicuous political slogan on it to the state of the union address, which is attended by everyone who's anyone in Washington and is televised live around the world. It is a misdemeanor to demonstrate inside the capitol building. Do you think Sheehan wore the shirt for the color? Of course not. She wore it to get her message out, which is pretty much the definition of a political demonstration. So if you want to defend Sheehan's t-shirt stunt you must either deny that she was trying to send a message, which would require you to consider the words on her shirt to be meaningless, or you must admit that you are advocating criminal conduct.

The picture of Owens is not complete until one contemplates his self-penned rap lyrics, which he rather proudly posts on his website:

SHOCK AND AWE

See the devilâ��s clawâ��
Thunder lightning death!
American Satan certified,
Fiery werewolfâ��s paw,
Welcome the witchâ��s law.
Shock and Awe!
God gave Lucifer
The outrage signâ��
No more floods,
Generals in charge this time.
Military hi-tech games
Smoke and flames
Tomahawks never error
Now the screech of terror!
O say can you hear
Like hysterical chickens
Enemy families scrambling
With their foreign fear.
. . .

Hmmm. Just so we understand things correctly, in Owens' world: (1) the US is Satan; (2) our troops are terrorists; and (3) we should feel sorry for the enemy "families."

Oh, and (4) it's totally cool to disrupt an address by a foreign head of state by playing a sophomoric prank and then not even having the f*ing balls to own up to it.

Got it.

Yea, God forbid Cindy Sheehan should wear a t-shirt that Bush does not approve of. Maybe some people in America don't think Iraq's government deserves all that much respect.

A world full of problems and the GOP is focused on trying to maintain a bubble of fantasy around Bush where no one is allowed to voice disagreement with his policies.

In a way it is a free speech issue. Shouting and disrupting a speech such as this violates the free speech rights of the speaker. I would hope we could extend the courtesy to guests of the congress and administration.

More and more I find the left using the argument of free speech to stifle the speech of opponents. Throw in the chicken-hawk argument as well into that tactic of shouting down contrary views.

Child like behavior makes your ideas look childish.
