A Rousing Ryan Welcome at Rally

Typical Obamabots, freedom of speech only applies to them....

DES MOINES, IA -- A protester disguised as a Mitt Romney supporter rushed the stage Monday as new vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan was speaking -- and being heckled -- in front of several thousand people at the Iowa State Fair.


The woman had been wearing a Romney T-shirt before Ryan took the stage at about 1:15 p.m.


The Wisconsin congressman had been speaking for only a few minutes when the woman jumped on the stage and started to shout. An Iowa State trooper jumped onstage after her and walked her out of the area. Troopers took at least one other person from the crowd later in the event. Ryan pointed out the woman trying to get on stage and then moved aside while the trooper removed the woman.


"She must not be from Iowa," Ryan said to applause.


The heckling continued throughout the 20-minute speech.


The crowd was mostly pro-Romney, but a handful of vocal protesters were spread throughout and did not stop. Romney supporters tried to drown them out, which made for a hostile crowd.


"I thought it was too bad people were so rude," said Ann Carrick, of Dexter, who identified herself as over 60. "They have the right to speak, but not when someone else is speaking."



Liberals hate freedom of speech.

What about the woman's freedom of speech?

btw - I giggle when I think of all the times teabaggers infiltrated democrat town hall meetings.

Someone asked earlier about Ryan and Florida. Here's a response. Not too good...

 
Another Rousing Welcome For Ryan!

Or not...

Dumbass Romney/Ryan didn't think they'd lose the votes of all the veterans and seniors too? All that's left to vote for them now are rich old men and dicksee. Wait. That's an oxymoron, isn't it?

Paul Ryan got a raucous welcome here Tuesday night – though perhaps not the welcome he was expecting.

Several hundred protesters gathered outside the Venetian Hotel here to demonstrate as Ryan, the newly minted GOP vice presidential nominee, met inside with casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, 2010 GOP Senate hopeful Sue Lowden and about three dozen other top donors.

“Ryan, go home! Ryan, go home!” the sea of demonstrators chanted as they marched in a circle around the fountain outside the hotel.

Most of the protesters said they were members of the American Federation of Government Employees and the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, both of which are holding their annual conferences in Las Vegas this week.

“Paul Ryan’s out here and we’re here to picket the 1 percent and his budget cuts,” said Donna Pixley, a 46-year-old nurse from Florida. “He doesn’t represent the best interest of the middle class. They’re using government employees to fix the deficit. We didn’t create the deficit.”

Dan Fowler, a 64-year-old VA retiree who works as an organizer and trainer for union members in Tacoma, Wash., said that he “came to support all our union brothers and sisters because this guy is in town.”

“If he’s truly going to be an American, then he needs to truly support the middle class – not giving all those tax cuts to the rich,” he said of Ryan.
