Ron Paul Supporters Walk Out of Rumsfeld Tribute/Scream “War Criminal” At Dick Cheney

A steady stream of Texas Rep. Ron Paul's supporters walked out of a planned tribute for Donald Rumsfeld at CPAC Thursday afternoon. The walk-out had been planned ahead of time in part by Campaign for Liberty organizers and it seemed to be supported by more than 100 CPAC attendees.

The former defense secretary was also booed when took to the stage. There seemed to be a back-and-forth between Paul supporters and other CPAC attendees trying to drown each other out while Rumsfeld watched.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney then took the stage, but the heckling did not stop in what was an amazing display of friction. Someone in the crowd yelled to Cheney above the din "draft dodger." Nonetheless, the crowd is overwhelmingly warm to Rumsfeld, who eventually took his place in the presentation.

Ron Paul Supporters Scream “War Criminal” At Dick Cheney

video

Things should have been nice and chummy at CPAC an hour ago. Dick Cheney strolled on stage to cheers and the inspirational tune of Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best” and got began to present the “Defender Of The Constitution” award to Donald Rumsfeld. However, as the chants of “USA! USA!” died down, a voice screaming “War criminal!” could be heard. And then, as Cheney continued to talk up his former colleague, a shouting match began between supporters of Ron Paul and the rest of the convention hall.

The Paul supporters eventually walked out in the middle of Rumsfeld’s speech as way of protest. Talking Points Memo managed to nab a quote from one of them:

Comment by FireStone on July 10, 2011 at 11:11pm: I watched this coverage and it straight up irked my persona, The Shut Up and Sit down intro. Sent an absolute anger probe right through me. RON PAUL is the man as far as I am concerned. I just hope when it comes time to being counted for, the numbers show up, are honestly counted, which I am really distressed about and validated as truth and let him in the door where he belongs.

Cheney also mocked Alex Jone, saying to the crowd, "Now sit sown and shut up." He thought he was being cute. ffffing enemy of humanity.

I'll bet a case of 24 canadian lager beer,that not one of the cheering crowd members lost a love one invading Iraq or Afghastan. (Also RummieDummy and Big Dick were part members of the rat pack gang that did the Sept 11 2001 attacks)--3000 folks died and a lot more are dying due to radiation sickness.

These creeps allowed nuke bombs (each fllors) to be used in the downing of WTC 1 and 2

These two should been arrested and hung long time ago.
