Squatlo Rant: "War Criminal!" Dick Cheney Jeered At Cpac, Ron Paul ... By squatlo
At least a couple of people in the Republican Party know war criminals when they see them, and they wanted no part of any "award" presentation involving those merchants of evil. There's hope for some in that party yet! ...SQUATLO RANT - http://squatlo-rant.blogspot.com/

Making a surprise appearance at the conference to introduce former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld for a CPAC "Defender of the Constitution Award", Cheney told the audience to "sit down and shut up" after a crescendo of "USA, USA" chants, which were reportedly triggered by a "where's Bin Laden?" exclamation.
In the following moments of silence, screams of "war criminal," "murdering scum," and "draft dodger," were reportedly hurled at Cheney.
According to a tweet from Slate's Dave Weigel, another malcontent later yelled "show us the shekels, Dick!" before being promptly removed by security.

Remorseless War Criminal George W. Bush Doesn’t Feel ‘Safe’ In Switzerland
In America, George W. Bush is best known for his 9/11 cowboy bravery. But everywhere else (including outer space), George W. Bush is “a brain-dead alcoholic who loves torture and death, just like Satan.” In communist Switzerland and other countries with medieval laws prohibiting the use of torture and rape prisons, for freedom, George Bush is actually a criminal who needs to be arrested! This is why our former hero-president decided to cancel his appearance at a Zionist potluck in Geneva: Switzerland is a very dangerous place, with all sorts of “laws” and shit.
Seriously unsafe!
Human rights groups said they had intended to submit a 2,500-page case against Bush in the Swiss city on Monday for alleged mistreatment of suspected militants at Guantanamo Bay, the U.S. naval base in Cuba where captives from Afghanistan, Iraq and other fronts in the so-called War on Terror were interned.
Leftist groups had also called for a protest on the day of his visit next Saturday, leading Keren Hayesod’s organizers to announce that they were cancelling Bush’s participation on security grounds — not because of the criminal complaints.
(C’mon. If Bush is a real-life war criminal, wouldn’t he have a tenure-track professorship at Georgetown? Or at least a visiting fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government?) [ABC/Reuters]
