| Another Protester

Hello from the hall. What is it with me and proterters in MSG? I just saw another taken away, although I didn’t get a photo.

This was actually quite sad: as the protester, an hispanic man, was being removed he kept yelling “You killed my son! George Bush, you killed my son!”

While I’m sure it was heart rending to see that episode and I can’t pretend to understand his grief I CAN say that blaming the President is incorrect.

If his son has indeed given the Ultimate Sacrifice for our Country I sure that proud soldier or marine did us all Proud in his service.

I pray for that man and his family…for whatever reason that brought him to the floor of MSG.
