Shady Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Police chased reporters away from the White House and closed Lafayette Park today in response to a gay rights protest in which several service members in full uniform handcuffed themselves to the White House gate to protest "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."People who have covered the White House for years tell me that's an extremely unusual thing to do in an area that regularly features protests. A reporter can be seen in the YouTube video above calling the move "outrageous" and "ridiculous."

punked Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) To borrow a comment from another political figure...how's that hopey changey workin out for everyone? Do you think Obama personally approves of every security action taken by the park police? Do you even know if he was in the White House at the time of this? Wow you really don't get what the president does do you? No wonder you think Palin can do it. Edited April 20, 2010 by punked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg Bach Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 All power is conducted in secrecy..everyone knows that! The best security is non-existance...wonder who runs the Canadian company... that we used to have common wealth shares in --- and now we just have Harper and Iggy - bantering about while some old men instruct them from an old victorian house just off of University Avenue...as for Obama...I could see his installers now..."Hey - you look almost white...how would you like to ride around in a big jet and have your own chopper...and be on TV?" Duuuuh - OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anything about the President. Anyways, this is the protest the authorities and the administration didn't want the media covering. For whatever reason.

Anyways, this is the protest the authorities and the administration didn't want the media covering. For whatever reason. Or there is some sort of Police policy when someone chains themselves to the Whitehouse fence to move all people a safe distance away. Should the policy be changed? I don't know, and I don't know what it is based on. It isn't based on "Don't show gay people" I don't think. I am sure it has to do with Bomb protection, just as everyone including the press were removed when something was thrown over the white house fence a few months ago at a tea party rally. Or in 2003 when the anti war protest were going on and they chained themselves to the fence. I honestly don't know why they cleared the area, but I again it probably has something to do with someone chaining themselves to the whitehouse fence. I know if this was someone shouting "Ali Achba" and chaining themselves to the fence you would have no problem with the police clearing the area would you? I bet their protocol doesn't say "Clear area only when someone who looks Muslim chains themselves to the Whitehouse fence," I bet it reads more tolerant then that. Something like "When someone chains themselves to white house fence secure area, move all bystanders away, assess situation and so on." It is republicans that keep telling us we can't be to safe. Then when they are being safe you cry. Gotcha. Your own video shows after the situation was addressed the media was allowed to get their shot. Like it or not Reports dying cause of some small security mistake is the dumbest thing you can fight for.

When these things happen the police don't check press passes they secure the scene and act accordingly. I know you want to tie the police hands by having them check press passes and let the media put themselves and the police endanger I don't. After the situation was assessed the media was allowed back to film the protesters being taken away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punked Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) And now we find out it has nothing to do with Obama or the whitehouse and has everything to do with overzealous Park Police. Just another lie in a long series of lies from Shady. Although I would have no problem if protocol was to march everyone away from the whitehouse when someone chained themselves to the fence. When CBS News’ Mark Knoller saw that the police had pushed the press back, he interceded. Knoller tells Mediaite: No big deal. It seemed ridiculous to me that credentialed press was held half-way deep in Lafayette Park for a peaceful event at the WH fenceline. So I pointed out my concern to a US Park Police officer, and after a time, he phoned someone, likely his superior, and then escorted credentialed press to the fenceline for better coverage of the protest and arrests. At first the officer refused, saying it was US Park Police procedure. I asked him to contact his superior so I might deliver my objection higher up the chain of the command. And within a few minutes, after he made a cell phone call, he escorted credential press right to the fenceline. I thanked the officer for his effort on our behalf. http://www.mediaite.com/online/white-house-press-corps-shut-out-by-dadt-protest-until-mark-knoller-intercedes/ Edited April 21, 2010 by punked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oleg Bach Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 That is offensive and homophobic. Funny how I can write something with your fingers...I expected such a retort to my foolishness - so all gays are angels and not self serving hedonistic dis-honourable people? I find the term homophobic or "fear of homosexuality" silly...why would you or I fear these people? They are to busy scratching each others eyes out to bother with me or you...oooh - that's twice as offensive - what if I told you I do not approve of arrogant overly privledged Anglo Saxons - or racist Jews...or people who keep dangersous dogs - kept on a more respected level than children - I guess that would be a pitbullaphobia also? Come on now - how do you benefit by protecting everything - healthy and unhealthy - do you think most gays would stand up for your human rights and not refere to you privately as a lowly breeder? Oh yah - I don't like snakes or spiders much also - but I do not harm them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oleg Bach Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Back on topic - having a "transparent" White House does not mean a lot..It can be totally trasparent and the shameless twits could commit every evil against humanity and not care if everybody can see through it..transparency does not guarentee good behavior...Look at Bush he was nakedly transparent..and did what he pleased - Once an administration has seized total power..they don't give a damn if they act like the old Nazi party and invade sovereign nations...some have no shame.

Seems that rich was not that rich and did not sustain very long...Hillary has already been president - so was Nancy Ragan...getting back to these former times of prosperity you speak of. It would not have mattered who was in control during the Clinton era..the world goes through cyclical economics all on it's own..the bee hive gets depressed once in a while when we loose faith in the machine and in the money god.
