2. You can practically smell the rancid grease
on the wheels inside his head, as he thinks to himself, 'heads on pikes, heads on pikes...'

26. Agree. They only consider it free speech if it is right wing controlled...
The wing-nuts just don't get it. It's like they live in an alternate reality.

As a matter of fact.. I'm convinced Conservatism is a sickness.

12. Yeah, escorting them out will teach them to interfere with free speech!
Well, they are sitting dumb like idiots because, um, do I really need to finish?

11. You can not interfere with ideas for which you disagree. So we are going to have you escorted
out of here, thereby interefering with your ideas, which I disagree.


Hmmmmm. Wondering if there is some universal contest to see who can offer the best demonstration of hypocrisy. :rofl:

Make him unwelcome. Maybe one day, his racist, homophobic, gun carrying so-called "christians" constiuents will be trumped in the election by the people who are getting screwed.

35. And you know
for what it's worth, that he is the only Jewish Repukelickan member of the house. Wish his idiot, bigoted, "über-Christian" constituents knew that.

Too bad there wasn't a second team, already infiltrated into the audience, to take it up when the first group was removed.

32. I second your statement - with the notation
that Cantor's technically pachydermal ass leakage. Dripping here and there and polluting everything it lands upon. :thumbsdown:

This scumbag is one of the worst. Rice's hypocritical spokesman tries to shut down the speech, in the name of free speech. What an idiot.

30. Want to double the effect of something like this???
Next time have two or even more groups.... that then stand up, once the first group is escorted out.

after one or two groups being escorted out, they (security) wouldn't have the resources to take others out so quickly....they would have a longer window with each group that popped up.

Also, wouldn't it be great if that was done ultimately by every person, and eric cantor was left standing in an empty room??

have fun and thanks for standing up!!

31. I dislike Cantor with a passion!
And that other fool is saying they don't allow 'free speech' unless they give permission? I would've been a shoe and egg throwing s.o.b. They would definitely lock me up! x( :argh:

34. Try this...
After the ALPHA is team is escorted out for voicing a contrary opinion,,,...
Have a BRAVO team who has infiltrated the invited audience say the same or similar message but cover their mouth or other method to avoid immediate detection buy authorities. I even see a CHARLIE team, the permutations are delightful!

37. I would love for one of those to happen but when they are escorting
the group out a second group in the opposite side of the arena starts the whole thing again. It would cause mass confusion and would make the people and the speaker listen to the message again.

40. Beautiful! The message went through.
It doesn't matter if the OWS protesters were escorted out. The message is now loud and clear that OWS is now heading toward DC and to EVERY politician in power who continues to cater to the 1% and not listen to their constituents.

This is only the beginning I'm sure. GREAT job OWS Houston!

As someone said, the youth are leading the way and I am so proud of them.

41. Requiem for a jackass I once knew
In the early days of my career, I was a research tech in biochemistry and cell biology at Rice University. Later I worked for a much less worthy organization under a juvenile little neocon boss who once yelled at me in a fit of low self-esteem rage that he never wanted to hear me mention the name of Rice University again. Well hear you go, you little RepubliCON jackass! Have another helping of Rice. I hope you choke on it!
