Audience members applauded the suggestion by one peace activist for a public execution of President Bush during Rep. Earl Blumenauer's Sept. 23 town hall meeting at Portland's Hollywood Theatre.
From the Oregonian article: "Some went even further, calling for Bush to be tried for treason. One Southeast Portland resident said the president "should be executed -- in public." A number in the audience applauded."
Did Blumenauer rebuke this comment at the meeting? It's disturbing, to say the least, that people in the audience applauded the concept of a public execution of the President. This speaks volumes about the true heart of the peace movement.
Peace via hate and execution, eh? Count me out. I'm with the Beatles on this one.
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
