Move Bush! Get out the way! Get out the way! By Buddy Grizzard, Guerrilla News Network
The cacophony that greeted the President and sustained itself for the duration of his wreath-laying ceremony was impressive to experience. The chant of the day was "Move Bush! Get out the way! Get out the way! Get out the way," an adaptation of a tune by local product Ludacris (what y'all know about that ATL style?). The protest itself was beautifully diverse, and carried a communal vibe that was a pure joy to be a part of. I was proud to be from Atlanta. For some reason, Atlanta Police decided not to imitate police in Miami and Portland, where freedom of speech and assembly, two of the fundamental rights which make us Americans, apparently no longer exist. And Bush, a man who came to office through the electronic disenfranchisement of tens of thousands of mostly black voters in Florida, was shown that he could not pull off a cheap photo-op here in the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement. There'd be no plastic turkey moments in our town that day, we made sure of it.------------------------------------------- posted 6:53 AM :: reference link ::
