Ok DU, Can You Tell Me Why Brattleboro Hasn't Gotten DU Love? RE: Arrest Bush Petition.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

I had no idea this initiative was taking place in this small town in Vermont. Did I miss the thread? Either way, it was a bit discouraging to read that all the emails etc were negative so far for the most part. Where's the DU love? Get it together people! You know what to do... :)

SNIP
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (Jan. 30) - A town petition making President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney subject to arrest for crimes against the Constitution has triggered a barrage of criticism from people who say residents are "wackjobs" and "nuts."

SNIP
It reads: "Shall the Selectboard instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against our Constitution, and publish said indictments for consideration by other authorities and shall it be the law of the Town of Brattleboro that the Brattleboro Police, pursuant to the above-mentioned indictments, arrest and detain George Bush and Richard Cheney in Brattleboro if they are not duly impeached, and prosecute or extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them?"

SNIP
The petition prompted Brent Caflisch to go to his computer in Rosemount, Minn. "Maybe the terrorists will do us all a favor and attack your town next, our country would be much safer with several thousand dead wackjobs in Vermont," he wrote.

It went on to say terrorists could kidnap the three Select Board members who voted in favor, "cut their heads off, video tape it and put it on the internet."

4. Because Democrats are past all that "hate stuff".

Democrats want to join together with Republicans and put an end to all the divisiveness that is the real cause of all of our problems. Continuing to go after Bush and try and disguise your hatred as "responsibility" or "rule of law" is just the kind of partisan, "old style" politics that got us into the mess we are in. We have to come together with all Republicans to make this country the ruler of the world - and isn't that what we all should really be about?

Excuse me for just one moment... :puke: ...there, thank you.

Surely no sarcasm thingy is needed...

5. I sent them a "way to go" congratulatory e-mail

yesterday.

Here is an interesting poll:

If you lived in Brattleboro, Vt., how would you vote?
Arrest Bush and Cheney 55%
Leave Bush and Cheney alone 45%

Total Votes: 95,953

Here is a site with the Selectmen e-mails. Send them some love.

7. You missed it. I posted the USAToday article yesterday.

9. I Just Did A Search. Guess I Missed It Cause It Only Lasted 20 Minutes And Got 5 Replies.

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with DU'ers on this issue. I see several threads have been started with almost ZERO interaction from DU. Now you have a town that is getting totally freeped and no support from the liberal community that is supposed to embrace them. Their positive emails should outnumber the negatives by 10 to 1!

What the fuck DU??? :wtf:

8. Goof grief, when Bu$h was elected,

some were asking where did they find 52 million people dumb enough to vote for this clown. Now after all that clown has botched up we still have 45%, 43,399 dumb asses voting in this poll to leave Bu$h/Cheney alone. :wtf:

10. I even checked the price of real estate in Brattleboro. I like the

way they think.
