Anti-war protesters convicted
Updated, 5:45 p.m.
The anti-war protesters who tried to get Rep. Steve Chabot to sign the "Congressional Declaration of Peace" have been convicted. Read more here
Chabot's office has issued this statement:
"We are fortunate to live in a free nation where people have the right to express their views and debate honest differences of opinion. I've met with many people, including some of these protesters, with various opinions about U.S. military action in Iraq. Most of these meetings have been cordial and professional.
"However, we are also a nation of laws and our laws should be respected. When the law is broken, it is up to our legal system to determine guilt or innocence as it has in this case."

Post a Comment*Typical wRong wingnut whackos arresting young smart privileged white folks who see the true light.
Love the Messenger !
PATHETIC !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !
The link goes to a "new" 2007 pledge. What was the one they wanted Chabot to sign? If I recall correctly, that one was even more left-wing.
Some sections of the "new" pledge still sound like they were written by the terrorists in Iraq.
"Voting against all funding requests to be used for U.S. military operations in Iraq."
"Safe and rapid withdrawal of all U.S. troops and coalition forces from Iraq, with no future redeployments."
"Support for reparations and reconstruction to address the destruction caused by the U.S. invasion, military occupation, and 13 years of economic sanctions."
That 78-year-old nun really sounds dangerous. We can all rest easy knowing the system was able to respond to such a threat.
When do all the Neocons and Repugnicants who pushed this illegal and illegitimate war go on trial for their crimes against humanity?
I'm shaking my head in disbelief at this comment. "at 2:39 PM, March 13, 2007 Anonymous said...

1.) "Voting against all funding requests to be used for U.S. military operations in Iraq."
YEAH: IT'S CALLED ENDING A CRIMINAL ACTION OF INVADING ANOTHER SOVEREIGN COUNTRY WHICH POSED ABSOLUTELY NO THREAT TO US. (SEE THE NUREMBURG WAR TRIALS)
2.)"Safe and rapid withdrawal of all U.S. troops and coalition forces from Iraq, with no future redeployments."
AGAIN, SAVING THE LIVES OF THE REMAINING U.S. (AND COALITION) TROOPS BY REMOVING THEM FROM HARM'S WAY
3.)"Support for reparations and reconstruction to address the destruction caused by the U.S. invasion, military occupation, and 13 years of economic sanctions."
AS COLIN POWELL SAID "YOU BROKE IT, YOU BOUGHT IT". I SUPPOSE YOUR ANSWER IS MORE LIKE "OOPS! SORRY WE KILLED 650,000+ OF YOUR MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THIS MISADVENTURE. UH...OUR BAD!"
Your sheer ignorance is astounding!
The protesters stepped over the line and got a punishment that seems to fit the crime. Their action was designed to call attention to the ongoing murder taking place in Iraq, but they should have left when ordered to.
That said, when will the war-mongers ever get a punishment to fit THEIR crimes? Probably not in this life.
Off the War Pigs!
There must be a parallel backwards liberal universe where everything is the opposite of reality. And as time goes on, history is changed to meet their current mindset or causes a mental distorted revision of past events depart from facts.
It's kind of sad that people can get so twisted in the views. It's like a counter-religion that they become "cult-like".
It's a shame...
I'm proud of these protesters for taking a stand and then taking the necessary fall when you break the law.
Brave but ill adviced, and with what purpose?
But thanks for the thought
had enough vote democratic and increase cincinnati's homicide rate
CHABOT HAS BACKED BUSH & CHENEY & RUMSFELDS LAWBREAKING<<<<
HE IS FULL OF IT BECAUSE HE barely BEAT CRANLEY:
Chabot Rubberstamps Bush’s Iraq Policy 100%
Steve Chabot is a Rubberstamp to Bush’s Iraq policy to “stay the course and pass the buck”. According to a recent nonpartisan group, Chabot votes with Bush 92% of the time. (SOURCE) Chabot has praised Rumsfeld’s overall handling of the Iraq war, saying “I think he’s done an exemplary job.” (SOURCE) And when it comes to Bush’s Iraq policy, Chabot said he is “100 percent with the president”. (SOURCE)
Chabot Pushed for Iraq War days after 9/11 and before Afghanistan
From the House floor, Steve Chabot pushed for war with Iraq just a few weeks after 9/11. Chabot said Iraq ought to be a “principal target” of the war on terrorism and that Hussein should be “put up there with Osama bin Laden in this war against terrorism.” Chabot made this speech days before we responded militarily to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. (SOURCE)
Chabot Spread Bush’s Claim that Iraq was a Nuclear Threat to the U.S.
President Bush first told the world that Iraq was a nuclear threat to the U.S. with a worldwide press conference delivered from Ohio’s First Congressional District.
Not only did Chabot host Bush to make the claim to the world, but Chabot repeatedly pushed into the public that Iraq was a nuclear threat to the U.S. Chabot said that Hussein was “on the verge of having nuclear weapons” and that he believed “unless we do something to stop him now, Saddam Hussein will do something to harm this country.” (SOURCE & SOURCE)
Chabot Refuses to Hold Bush Administration Accountable on Iraq
Not only does Chabot refuse to ask tough questions of the Administration, but Chabot has voted to keep the Administration's build-up to the Iraq war secret, and to retaliate against Bush critics of the Iraq War build-up by calling them "liars". (SOURCE & SOURCE)
jesus
when did this become the new dailykkkos?
chabots office said:
"However, we are also a nation of laws and our laws should be respected. When the law is broken, it is up to our legal system to determine guilt or innocence as it has in this case."
the current administration is a set if evil out of control fascists who routinely ignore or break the law, trampling on the constitution every day they breathe. chabot has sworn his allegiance to them as a spineless member of the neoclown party.
their statement has no credibility until their actions speak louder than their words.
Audit: U.S. lost track of $9 billion in Iraq funds
Pentagon, Bremer dispute inspector general's report
Monday, January 31, 2005 Posted: 0412 GMT (1212 HKT)
Paul Bremer received a Presidential Medal of Freedom in December for his work in Iraq.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Nearly $9 billion of money spent on Iraqi reconstruction is unaccounted for because of inefficiencies and bad management, according to a watchdog report published Sunday.
An inspector general's report said the U.S.-led administration that ran Iraq until June 2004 is unable to account for the funds.
"Severe inefficiencies and poor management" by the Coalition Provisional Authority has left auditors with no guarantee the money was properly used," the report said.
"The CPA did not establish or implement sufficient managerial, financial and contractual controls to ensure that [Development Fund for Iraq] funds were used in a transparent manner," said Stuart W. Bowen Jr., director of the Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.

WOW THATS A BIG CHUNK OF TAXPAYERS $ MISSING ISN'T IT? RE-READ THIS PARAGRAPH:
An inspector general's report said the U.S.-led administration that ran Iraq until June 2004 is unable to account for the funds.
OK NOW REFLECT BACK TO 2004 AND THINK WHAT THE FUNDS MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIVERTED TO-THE STOLEN ELECTION.
GOOGLE PNAC (Project for a New American Century) This IMMORAL war BASED ON LIES was planned out prior to the 2000 election theft by the PNACers (aka neocons). It's about OIL, perpetual war and the GROSS PROFITTING that coincides with both.
The Cons are wearing down our military while raiding elite special forces to PRIVATE MILTARY FORCES such as Blackwater. They are stealing from the public coffers to enrich themselves. I
THEY NEEDED TO STEAL ELECTIONS AND START WARS TO IMPLEMENT THEIR AGENDAS. THE CONSTITUTION GOT IN THEIR WAY SO THEY GAVE US THE PATRIOT ACT AND MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT OF 2006 (WHICH GOT RID OF HABEAS CORPUS) IF THEY WERE WILLING TO DO ALL THIS DON'T YOU THINK WE SHOULD TRULY INVESTIGATE 911?
Speaking of Stolen Elections (which is what brought us Bush's war in the first place:
Ohio Election Workers Sentenced
Wednesday March 14, 2007 12:16 AM
By THOMAS J. SHEERAN
Associated Press Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) - Two county election workers were sentenced Tuesday to 18 months in prison for rigging a recount of 2004 presidential election ballots so they could avoid a longer, detailed review.
Jacqueline Maiden, 60, a Cuyahoga County election coordinator who was the board's third-highest ranking employee, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer, 40, each were convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Peter Corrigan allowed the women to remain free on bail pending appeal, but indicated he thought there was a more widespread conspiracy among election officials.
``I can't help but feel there's more to this story,'' Corrigan said.

THE JUDGE BELIEVES THERE IS A MORE WIDESPREAD CONSPIRACY BUT THE US VERSION FAILS TO MENTION THIS.

-Was Bush's "Mission Accomplished" a reality?
-Were the insurgents in "their last throes" as Cheney stated over and over?
-Did Saddam have WMDs?
-Were there ties from al Qaeda to Iraq?
Time to face reality. There is one thing you got right:
It's kind of sad that people can get so twisted in the views. It's like a counter-religion that they become "cult-like". Cut the kool aide and think for yourself:
LIBERAL-2a. tolerant; not narrow in one's ideas and views; broad-minded.

I find most "liberals" far from tolerant, or broad-minded.
They are among of the some most hateful, intolerant, and biggoted people in America.
Agreed. Most liberals are so open-minded their brains have fallen out.
"...I find most "liberals" far from tolerant, or broad-minded. They are among of the some most hateful, intolerant, and biggoted people in America...."

The liberal, anti-war crowds comments on this blog are scary...they call anyone who disagress with them "murders," "fascists" and "war-mongers." What happened to people having differences of opinion, but respecting each others views?

My friend, you are the biggest joke on this blog and your so called "VOTE DEMOCRAT" kool-aid sipping responses. You have the depth of a mud puddle on a 95 degree summer day.
(Waits for the typical, unimaginative "wRong wingnut fishwRap" response...sigh...)
One thing that can said about the liberals on this blog is that they sure can cut & paste.
