Police escort a protester from President Bush's speech Friday morning at Monticello in Charlottesville. (Pat Jarrett/The News Leader) CHARLOTTESVILLE — Protesters shouting "War Criminal" and "Impeach Bush" disrupted President Bush's speech Friday morning during the Independence Day Celebration and Naturalization Ceremony at Monticello. Lee Catlin, community relations director for Albemarle County, said six protesters were asked to leave the ceremony. She said no arrests were made. Protesters' shouts interrupted Bush at least five times. During the first flare up, in which a woman held a bright pink sign that read "Impeach Bush," the president acknowledged the protests. Addressing the 72 people who were to be sworn in as U.S. citizens, Bush said, "We believe in free speech in the United States of America." A Monticello spokesperson said that protesters were allowed to express their views unless they blocked views or passageways. He said that Monticello has no plans at this time to press charges against the six who were removed from the museum grounds. Hope they unnerved the little prick.

New citizens and prez celebrate 4th by Lisa Provence Hugs, flag waving and shouts of “fascist”: It was the Fourth of July at Monticello. Three thousand people showed up at Mr. Jefferson’s home today to watch 72 new citizens be sworn in– and six citizens escorted out. When the first shouts of “Defend the Constitution.” “Impeach Bush,” and “War criminal” rang out from protesters in the audience and pink-clad Desiree Fairooz ran toward the stage, President George Bush laughed, and acknowledged, “To my fellow citizens to be, we believe in free speech in the United States.”

Check out some of those looks, would you....shocked!! Hope them sheeple got a little education today. Three thousand people showed up at Mr. Jefferson’s home today to watch 72 new citizens be sworn in– and six citizens escorted out. Psa 83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. Psa 83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from [being] a nation; that the name of Israel [Christian America] may be no more in remembrance. Happy Fourth of July! NOT...... MOURN on the 4th of July!
