This is what disgrace, stupidity, hatespeech and downright hysteria look like after one disgusting roll in the hay called the Women's March on Washington.

What a bunch of foul-mouthed, ignorant, hysterical bimbos proving to the world just what hateful stone bitches they truly are.

Madonna:

     

Here's the full transcript of Madonna's vile: “Hello. Are you still awake out there? Are you sure about that? Can you hear me? Are you ready to shake up up the world? 

"Welcome to the revolution of love. To the rebellion. To our refusal as women to accept this new age of tyranny. Where not just women are in danger but all marginalized people. Where people uniquely different might be considered a crime. It took us this darkness to wake us the fuck up. [Good thing it's a "women's" march, Madonna, and not a "ladies" march with language like that.]

 "It seems as though we had all slipped into a false sense of comfort. That justice would prevail and that good would win in the end. Well, good did not win this election but good will win in the end. So what today means is that we are far from the end. Today marks the beginning, the beginning of our story. The revolution starts here. The fight for the right to be free, to be who we are, to be equal. Let's march together through this darkness and with each step. Know that we are not afraid. That we are not alone, that we will not back down. That there is power in our unity and that no opposing force stands a chance in the face of true solidarity. 

"And to our detractors that insist that this March will never add up to anything, fuck you. Fuck you. [Oooh. I bet they're waking up and listening to you with open minds now, Madonna. Did someone mislead you into thinking that such tone and profanity is actually credible and persuasive?] It is the beginning of much needed change. Change that will require sacrifice, people. Change that will require many of us to make different choices in our lives, but this is the hallmark of revolution. So my question to you today is are you ready? I said, are you ready? Say yes, we are ready. Say, yes we are ready. One more time: you're ready. 

"Yes, I'm angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot of blowing up the White House, [sounds like a typical liberal version of 'tolerance']  but I know that this won't change anything. We cannot fall into despair. As the poet, W.H. Auden once wrote on the eve of World War II: We must love one another or die. 

 "I choose love. [Oh, sure you do.... We can tell by the hateful bile that you just spewed from your mouth on a public, nationally-televised speech. Why; after listening to that, who in their right mind could question that you're "all about love?"]Are you with me? Say this with me: We choose love. We choose love. We choose love." 

  

Then 'actress' Ashley Judd had to demonstrate just what a witch she is.

Here’s the full text of Ashley Judd’s insane, inane and guttural rant at Saturday’s Women’s March in Washington, DC:* 

‘I am a nasty woman,’ Judd began as she read the poem. ‘I’m not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust.’ [Oh my, Ashley; such a credible debater you are invoking such intellectual genius like that.] ‘I’m not as nasty as your own daughter being your favorite sex symbol, your wet dreams infused with your own genes,’ she read later, clearly referencing Ivanka. [What kind of sick, disgusting mind produces an insult like that? What kind of idiot thinks hurling insults like that seems dignified, persuasive or the least bit credible?] ‘

I’m not as nasty as confederate flags being tattooed across my cities, [cities can get tattoos? Who knew?] maybe the south is actually going to rise, maybe for some it never really fell.’ Judd continued to proudly repeat the phrase ‘I’m a nasty women’ [Yeah, Ashley. You've clearly proven yourself to be with this idiotic display] as the crowd of thousands continued to cheer. ‘And our pussies ain’t for grabbing, they’re for reminding you that our walls are stronger than America’s ever will be,’ she concluded. [Uh.... What does that mean, exactly?] ‘Our pussies are for our pleasure, for birthing new generations of filthy, vulgar, nasty, proud, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh, generations of nasty women.’ [Oh, gee; won't that be just dandy for world peace and relations between the sexes!]

Then America Ferrara [whoever the hell she is] got up to add her 2 cents of stupidty to the poop soup:***

‘We march today for the moral core of this nation, against which our president is waging a war.’ [Let me get this right; you're saying the moral core of this nation is abortion, the gay/lesbian/transgender agenda and all this hatespeech?] ... ‘We reject the demonization of our Muslim brothers and sisters, [but isn't all the recent terrorism done at the hands of people claiming to be muslims? And all Trump has said about it is we need to stop just opening the borders to people from that part of the world until we've properly vetted them. Obviously, America; you've learned nothing from how 'well' such immigration policies have worked out for Germany and France.] we demand an end to the system murder and incarceration of our black brothers and sisters, [who's been systematically killing them? Seems like more black-on-black crime has taken the lives of blacks than anybody else has done] we will not give our rights to safe and legal abortions, we will not ask our LGBTQ families to go backwards, we will not go from being a nation of immigrants to a nation of ignorance.’ [Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that. You speakers at the Women's March sure sound like you're pretty damned ignorant about a lot of things by the way they talk] 

‘We won’t build walls and we won’t see the worst in each other [unless it's Donald Trump and then you're willing to believe anything and everything "worst" about him, right?] and we won’t turn our backs on the more than 750,000 young immigrants in this country.’ [Obviously, America, you don't understand anything about the definition of "illegal."]  

‘Together we, all of us, will fight, resist and oppose every action that threatens the lives and dignity of any and all of our communities.’ [Funny; I didn't hear anything in any of these witchrants about the rights of straight people, white people, Christian people or true male homosapiens. That'd be just a simple oversight on the speakers' parts, isn't that right, Madonna, Ashley, America?]

‘Marchers, make no mistake. We are, every single one of us, on attack. Our safety and freedom are on the chopping block and we are the only ones who can protect one another.’ ‘If we do not fight together…we will lose together.’ 

What a bunch of hateful, divisive, hysterical and ignorant women.

The hysterical raving liberal dingbats are a flyin’ still! (aka the outrageous double-standards of the liberal loons)

Back in 2011 when Barry Hussein Obama was blatantly running the US Constitution’s 10^th Amendment, Executive, Enumerated and Separation of Powers clauses through the shredder with rampant issuance of Executive Orders, recess appointments and dozens of other ways to violate US Federal Law, subvert the will of the people and therefore pretty much run roughshod over the United States in furtherance of his radical agenda, Obama’s dictatorial ways was compared to the likes of Hitler in his running of Germany prior to the outbreak of WW2.

Not only that, by then Obama had demonstrated an obvious anti-Semitism by benefiting Islam in every policy decision he possibly could. As the Middle Eastern geopolitical saga of the past 100 years has shown, Islam is expressly anti-Semitic in dogma, doctrine and actions. The historical record clearly shows Hitler was an obvious anti-Semite from the 1920s on until his death in 1945.

To anyone with a working knowledge of world history and current affairs, the analogies between the two were not hard to draw in 2011. Yet, when country music legend Hank Williams, Jr. did so, the libs raised holy hell until ESPN in a condition of spineless political correctness and lack of fortitude dropped Hank’s song from the opening of Monday Night Football broadcasts.*

When a Roman Catholic bishop in Illinois said in 2012 that “Obama’s ‘radical, pro-abortion and extreme secularist agenda’ proved he was ‘intent on following a similar path’ as Hitler and Stalin,”** 23,000 signatures were accumulated by an online religious community demanding he apologize. And,  he was “asked to resign from his position on the Notre Dame University Board of Fellows by nearly 50 university faculty members in response to his comments, unless he would ‘renounce loudly and publicly this destructive analogy.’”***

But today, at the Women’s March on Washington – some silly publicity stunt designed to protest the election of Donald Trump and not of Hillary Clinton, a bunch of the idiot famous got on stage to say really immature, embarrassing and snide stupid remarks. One in particular, Madonna, went way, way over the top and said she is so upset by “’this horrific moment’ of Donald Trump’s inauguration as president” she exclaimed onstage in front of thousands of fellow protestors that “Yes, I am angry,” Madonna said. “Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.”[Emphasis added.]****

Ask yourself; 

• Do you think the United States Secret Service will arrest Madonna for threatening the life of the new President of the United States like they would if you or I or any “average” citizen made such a statement? 
• Do you think her record label will cancel their contract with her for her inciting a riot, promoting violent sedition like ESPN did to Hank Williams, Jr? 
• Do you think anyone will collect signatures demanding she apologize for such an irresponsible statement endorsing violence against the President like happened to the Illinois bishop?

Madonna's irresponsible - if not illegal - public statements today are yet one more example of the flagrant hypocrisy and double standards of the loons on the liberal left.

And these dingbats wonder why they lost this election....

The inauguration of the 45th POTUS Donald J. Trump - Part 2

Yesterday, after he was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, President Donald Trump gave what I thought was a pretty positive, upbeat and inspiring inaugural address. (The text of which is in my "Inauguration... Part 1" entry just previous to this one.

Some of his points at the beginning were, I thought similar in ways to that of then newly sworn in POTUS Ronald Reagan who in that 1981 inaugural address made the claim that in many cases "Government isn't the solution to problems. Rather, government is the problem."

Of course, such dramatic returns to the principles of government as set out by the founding fathers in 1776 and 1789 as Trump campaigned on, won the presidency with and spoke about yesterday morning in his inaugural address is bound to get all the liberal dingbats flying round the belfry in a state of raving hysteria.

Besides a few dozen nitwits chucking rocks in the streets and torching a few cars in Washington, D.C., the gang of usual media suspects were quick to open their mouths on the air and demonstrate just how seriously demented and paranoid they really are in their ever-so-skewed worldview.

I give you one Chris Matthews as a for instance. Matthews behaved like a raving lunatic as he demonstrates daily in his program on MSNBC (one of the loonier of the Looney Tunes media outlets go) re Trump's inaugural remarks, Matthews claimed that "Trump's 'America' first' tone was "racial" and "had a Hitlerian [as in Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany] background to it."*

Really, Chris? Seriously? The Lib Left's brains are so twisted and their knowledge of history so flushed into the sewage of their hate they see any kind of patriotism from our President [and Commander-in-Chief of the US military] as being likened to that of Nazis and the Holocaust? What a dingbat who must've flunked every single history class he ever sat in!

Oh, if only Matthews was the only hysterical dingbat.... But, he's not. Oh, no; that raving nutjob commentator Rachel Maddow (more like Rabid Mad Dog) claimed Trump's "America first" emphasis to be "militant"**, with "dark, antiSemitic overtones,** because, she says, "There was an America First Committee that formed intis country [America], some of the richest businessmen [a usual liberal mantra; when desperate for villain figure to fit your hysterical ranting, haul out the 'rich' and 'big business'] in the country who were part of it, they were formed to keep us out of World War Two. They were infiltrated by the Nazis, many of them were anti-Semitic, part of why they weren't alarmed by Hitler's rise in Germany," she raved.**

O...M...G...! Mad Dog Rachel proves she's not only a lousy history student but apparnetly a permanent resident of The Twilight Zone.Of course if these liberal buffoons didn't have double standards they'd have no standards whatsoever!

Case in point;when a Republican prez seems to be heading us into war, these libs all want to claim we should just "give peace a chance" and lecture us that "war is never the solution to the problem" and so on.

Now this Maddow whackjob is claiming a group of American isolationists in the 1930s were doing so only so Hitler could have better opportunity to kill more Jews? Besides being just downright hysterical, she forgets that the Holocaust was one helluva big secret until Allied forces got deep enough into Germany to find and liberate the Nazi concentration camps. Maddow forgets that the civilian German populaces of towns right next door to some of these camps didn't even know what went on in them until the War was over.

What a whackjob idiot. But, if only she and matthews were the only 2.... But, alas; ABC's Terry Moran had to jump on the labotomy bandwagon stupidly claiming Trump's speech "...carries with it ovetones from the 1930s when an [waaaaait for it...] anti-Semitic movement [was] saying, 'We don't want to get involved in Europe's war. It's the Jews' fault in Germany.'"** THAT ONE HAS TO TAKE THE IDIOT PRIZE!

Again, another history moron shoots off his mouth to remove all doubt about 1) how stupid he is on world history, 2) just how hysterical and raving mad his rhetoric truly is and 3) that he will stoop as low as he needs to - lower than the slugs in a damp root cellar and lower than the sludge of stale fecal matter found in the bottom of a septic tank - in order to advance the agenda of running down what real leadership and patriotism is - in this case Donald Trump's positive, upbeat and inspiring inaugural address.

Firstly, from 1914-1918, the world had fought what it naively believed was truly 'The War To End All Wars' (WW1). In those 4 years of worldwide conflict, 38 million people were killed or injured. Those who did survie after suffered from "shell shock" and other mental afflictions in addition to their physical wounds.

Americans living in the throes of the Great Depression of the 1930s were either veterans of that War or had male friends, relatives or acquaintances who were. In other words, the memories of the horrors of that War were still very fresh in their minds in the 1930s. Hence, 1930s  America as a whole was isolationist in sentiment to avoid sending its sons off to the carnage of another World War.

But, whenever a Republican president starts rattling its war sabers about oppression in Europe (say the Balkaans) or IndoChina (say Vietnam) or the Middle East (as in Gulf War 1 and 2), for examples, the libs are the first ones to start hollering about how "America should not be the world's policemen." Yet Trump's 'America first' tone reminds these same deranged liberal nutcases of Natism, anti-Semitism and other "dark" and "militant" evils instead of a financial and economic policy that is perhaps really only isolationist in tone and spirit.

That is how twisted, raving and hateful the liberal Left in this country have descended in their cultural decay.

Yet when Trump says "When you open your heart to true patriotism, there is no room for prejudice," he's being Nazi-like and anti-Semitic? Did I miss something there?

When he said "We willfollow 2 simple rules; Buy American and Hire American" and "We will seek friendship and good will with the nations of the world - but we will do so with the understanding that is the right of all nations to put their own interests first" [emphasis added] he's being "dark," "militant," "anti-Semitic" and "Hitlerian?" Are these liberal clowns even critiquing the same inaugural address the rest of us watched on national TV? Are they really that skewed and off-the-bubble out of their heads as to have heard what they're alleging in Trump's words? Or are they just amoral enough to be willing to lie so boldly as to knowingly claim that such lunacy was actually spoken when they know full well it was not?

Sadly, I'm afraid the answer to both questions is Yes, they really are.

And that is more "Hitlerian" and "Goebbelsian" than anything Trump has or hasn't said to date.

The inauguration of the 45th POTUS Donald J. Trump - Part 1

The full text of the 45^th President of the United States Donald J. Trump's inaugural speech January 20, 2017:

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you.

We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.

We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.

For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country

.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. 

This is your day. This is your celebration.

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. 

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

Everyone is listening to you now.

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.

At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

We are one nation – and their pain is our pain.  Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success.  We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;

Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;

We've defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own;

And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.

We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.

One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.

The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.

But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.

We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.

Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs.  Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down.

America will start winning again, winning like never before.

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders.  We will bring back our wealth.  And we will bring back our dreams.

We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.

We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.

We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

The Bible tells us, “how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.

There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected.

We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.

We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

The time for empty talk is over.

Now arrives the hour of action.

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done.  No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.

It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.

And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:

You will never be ignored again.

Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.

We Will Make America Wealthy Again.

We Will Make America Proud Again.

We Will Make America Safe Again.

And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America.

In the same vein as my previous post.... Boy, this is well-written, true and says it all!

Don't know who actually wrote this. I received it author unknown via email. But, this is very well-written whoever wrote it, to-the-point and sez it all!


Dear Hollywood celebrities.....!!

It’s time to wake up now.  Get this!

The only reason that you exist is for my entertainment.

Some of you are beautiful.

Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes.

Some of you are so convincing that you scare the shit out of me. And others of you are so funny that you can make me laugh uncontrollably.

But know this, you all have just one thing in common. You only exist and have a place in my world to entertain me. That’s it. Nothing else!

You make your living pretending to be someone else. You play dress-up like a 5-year-old. Your world is a make believe world.  It is not real.  It doesn’t exist.  You live for the camera while the rest of us live in the real world. Your entire existence depends on my patronage.  

I crank the organ grinder, and you dance.

Therefore, I don’t care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your opinion means nothing to me.

Just because you had a lead role in a movie about prostitution doesn’t mean you know what it’s like to be a prostitute.  

Your view matters far less to me than that of someone living in Timbuktu.

Believe me or not, the hard truth is that you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer, and you cease to exist. Once I am done with you, I go back to the real world until I want you to entertain me again.

I don’t care that you think BP executives deserve the death penalty. I don’t care what you think about the environment.  I don’t care if you believe fracking is bad.  I don’t care if you call for more gun control.  I don’t care if you believe in catastrophic human-induced global warming. 

And I could care less that you supported Hillary for President. Get back into your bubble. 

I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something pretty or scary or funny.

Oh! And one other thing.  

What was all this “I’ll leave the country if Donald Trump wins”?  Don’t you know how stupid that made you sound?What did you think my reaction was going to be?  I better not vote for Trump or we’ll lose Whoopi Goldberg?  Al Sharpton?  Amy Schumer? 

Leave.  I don’t care! And don’t let the door hit you in the a__ on your way out.

Make me laugh.  Make me cry. Even scare me. But realize this, the only words of yours that matter are scripted — just like your pathetic little lives.

I may agree with some of you from time to time, but in the final analysis, it doesn’t matter. 

In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment.

So, shut your mouth and dance, monkey, DANCE!

Who cares who is and is not performing at Trump's inauguration. It's an inauguration, not the Super Bowl halftime show.

All the Artists Who Declined to Perform at Donald Trump's Inauguration**

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

Video Summary: Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration will take place Jan. 20 in Washington, D.C., but so far, the president-elect has had some difficulty assembling a star-powered lineup for the ceremony.**

Show More.

So… “Trump has not attracted a wealth of star power to his Inaugural Ceremony….but as the days until the inauguration tick down, Trump’s swearing-in ceremony won’t include performances from the big name acts like Beyoncé and Yo-Yo Ma who took the stage for President Barack Obama.**

Oh, waaaah. Like we're all gonna just have a nervous breakdown or something. Gimme a break.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole idiot famous crowd we could do without. Asking them to appear, perform etc at anything political just encourages them in thinking that the whole world even gives a rip about their opinions on things. 

The idiot famous from Hollyweird and the music industry just need to shut up and sing or shut up and act and otherwise, just shut up.

The "halo effect" brining out the worst in everyone the camera aims at.

It's an old political adage that "two things one should never see made are laws and sausage."

Watching the confirmation hearings for Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions this morning confirms that adage. It also has confirmed what goes through my mind every time I watch a congressional panel question someone from Marine LtCol Oliver North in 1987 all the way thru umpteen SCOTUS nominees, cabinet members and so on. And that opinion is that continuous live media coverage (as in with audio and video coverage) of congressman in hearings only turns that sausage into dog food.

Why? Because most of those clowns spend more time creating nifty sound bites that appeal more to their constituents and other supporters than they do truly and effectively vetting a candidate for a position.

Of course, effectiveness is a concept that's just about completely foreign to the legislative branch of the federal government anymore, I'm sorry to say. 

In fact, our whole federal government is living proof of Chesterson's observation that "anything worth doing is worth doing badly."

But equally as unproductive about broadcasting these hearings live is the fact that it brings out the lunatic fringe who get their 15 seconds of fame shouting varying rants of hysterical messages from the Moronosphere until Capitol Hill Police wrap them physically remove them from the hearing room. 

At least the sports broadcasts have gotten smart. They refuse to give video exposure during broadcast of a major league game to the embicile who darts out onto the playing field and runs away from pursuing stadium security personnel while taunting them with an embarrassing game of "Catch Me If Ya Can." 

Get a clue CNN, FOX et al; go back to sketch artists and on-camera summaries and ditch the embarrassing and all-but-worthless hamming it up for the cameras and free P.R. these political hacks (for the most part) get along with the dingbat protestors. Maybe then the coverage of these events will have more worthwhile value - as well as the substance of these hearings - and we could all get back to watching/hearing REAL news.
