Rev. Lennox Yearwood: "Arrest Bush, Not Rev!"

On September 12, 2007, the ANSWER Coalition presented a Press Conference at which it announced its plans for the massive September 15th Mass March and Die-In to be held in Washington, D.C. One of the speakers at the conference was the Rev. Lennox Yearwood. He was introduced by Brian Becker of the ANSWER Coalition. Rev. Yearwood is the CEO and President, Hip Hop Caucus. On September 10th, he was viciously assaulted by six Capitol Hill cops and sustained serious injuries. He said: "The lights went out for me" for a while when he was being beaten. But that when he came back to the light, he joined the chorus of supporters who were then shouting: "Arrest Bush, not Rev." For background on the Sept. 15th rally, please see: www.ANSWERCoalition.org. The press conference was held at the National Press Club, in the "Murrow Room," (located just a few blocks east of the White House), in Washington, D.C. Note--A fuller version of the Press Conference, 46 minutes, can be found at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4960527919397254659.

Bush has turned this country into a dictatorship! Impeach Bush/Cheney for war crimes against the American people and humanity!

[CarlNyberg]

Attacking Iraq was totally about freedom.

Attacking Iraq allowed VP Dick Cheney the freedom to spend $450+ billion (and counting), much of it going to his former company and other cronies and war profiteers.

WELL SAID

[thierrydude]

Well said, the chimps think that obama is the great welfare messiah and the buttfucking lefty jewz who call themselves liberal are manipulated just as easy as the chimps. They are all lemmings who hope everything will be wonderful. They are nothing but Bush blamers. These tarbabys aren't taking back shit. 3 more years of 0 progress and blaming all of their shortcomings on Bush. They cant argue on talking points because they will loose or just blame Bush when they cant answer questions.

I'm a white America and a supporter of Rev. Yearwood and the the Iraq Veterans Against War. Idiot is a foul mouth punk and probably works for the A.D.L. or A.I.P.A.C. or some other Racist organization. Too all Americans don't be Intimidated by the Racist filth, for they can not stop us as Americans. We must all come together and then we can rid Our Country these Treasonist Scum.

[skullanones]

should watch your punk mouth or it might need to be shut!!!

[skullanones]

Idiotfinder911, You are a Zionist Pig and doesn't speak for white folks. I'm a white man and my enemies are not average black folks, but the real enemies of American's is Zionist, Freemasons and other Secret Societies. This isn't a fight of races, it is a fight for America and too those that hide in the shadows I look to draw you out and throw you in the middle of a firing range.
