By JAMES HOHMANN / The Dallas Morning News

Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams came from Ireland to Texas to declare that President Bush should be impeached.

In a keynote speech at the International Women’s Peace Conference on Wednesday night, Ms. Williams told a crowd of about 1,000 that the Bush administration has been treacherous and wrong and acted unconstitutionally.

  1. Thank you for your opinion Mr. O’Reilly… uh… Limbaugh… uh… Malkin… uh… Colter… uh… McNair.

    For your edification…

    Sedition? Not hardly. There is an obscure document called the Constitution (perhaps you’ve heard of it?) whose first amendment protects the rights of citizens to express their opinions. That same document mentions impeachment five seperate times as the appropriate way for ‘we the people’ to protect ourselves from a return to the tyranny from which we escaped in the mid-seventeen hundreds and to protect ourselves from those who would carelessly and with malicious intent release “the dogs of war”. War-profiteering imperialistic NeoCon Republicanism is tyrannical and anti-American. Cheney, Bush, Rice and many others remaining in this failed presidential administration are fully deserving of impeachment and removal from office.

    Read our evidence page and refute the claims there if you can:

    Treason? Please.

    Treason would be when multiple members of the White House staff (Fleischer, Armitage, Rove and Libby) compromise our national security by outing an NOC CIA agent during wartime (Valerie Plame-Wilson) in an act of political retribution against her husband, whistleblower Joseph Wilson on orders from their superior(s) (certainly Cheney and likely Bush as well). All this was spoken into testimony in the Libby trial without challenge by Libby’s defense team. It was all allowed to stand as spoken into evidence during testimony. These are facts that you choose to ignore.

    “60-minute drama queens”? This is a laughable accusation as many of us have been working steadily and tirelessly to defend our nation from these wanna-be dictators for 2, 3 even 4 years without pay or much in the way of thanks – especially from the least informed among us – the FAUXNews-digitally lobotomized and most opinionated such as yourself.

  2. Shame on you for this scurrilous attempt of disarming our President in a time of war. Mr. Bush has stood steadfast in the face of intense criticism by you 60-minute drama queens who need a climax and denouement to every world affair within the span of a television program period.

    We are engaged with the evil side of islaam for our lives, our way of life and our children’s future freedom.

    Asking impeachment as you do is tantamount to sedition and treason.

  3. August Red Alert!! Plot to overthrow the U.S.A and Constitution

    August 20, the criminals are meeting in Montebello, Quebec to plot the overthrow of the U.S.A and destroy our Constitution.
    Carry signs with Traitor, Impeach, or Treason printed on them.

    Impeach Bush! -North America Union- is Treason! News snuffed, Secret deal!! U.S.A ends 2010.
    Lying King George behind our backs and under the smoke of his own war has given the United States his legacy of Treason.
    The North America Union is being implemented without Congress consent or without any public vote or comment. North America Union replaces our Democratic Republic, United States of America; it will be fully implemented in 2010. When our soldiers come home from war, they will return to North America Union, not the United States of America, how are you going to explain that to them? King George has ruled that the U.S.A be abolished!!
    This is it folks, every American who has ever pledged their Allegiance to the Flag, every American who has pledged to defend the Constitution of the United States of America, has to step forward. Now!
    Demand your elected representatives to control this dictator and to bring him and his conspirators to Justice for Treason.
    Demand your Congress representatives to confirm their allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America. Mark any neo-con Republican or Democrat who side with Bush and his North American Union as Traitors and run them out of office!! Now!

    -A Patriot’s Message- The hammer falls on the Constitution of the United States of America. Our freedom and Democracy, our sovereignty as a nation is coming to an end (2010).
    The politically appointed neoconservatives in Justice sneer at Habeas Corpus; Geneva Convention; worker, consumer, investor and environment protection; education; affirmative action; individual rights and “entitlements” like Social Security and health care.
    The corporate neo-con conspirators (Establishment) have their own agenda of a New World Order; W.T.O; N.A.F.T.A; N.A.U; immigration; globalization and “free trade”; military seizure of foreign oil fields; employing a private army of mercenaries and propagandist; “dealing” with Afghanistan Opium drug lords harboring Osama Bin Laden and financing Al Qaeda.
    The ideal corporate model is “Communism” where individual freedom and democracy are mute. The board of directors rule. The corporate neo-cons hate our regulatory government, Constitution and Individual Rights.
    Our Federal Government is purposely bankrupt by war/trade debt and the ideal corporate nation, China, are carrying trillions of dollars of our debt. Communist China and their junior corporate American partner’s technically own the “U.S.A” resulting in “Globalization” and loss of sovereignty. Mission accomplished. The surge strategy is not to win the war but to pump oil and further indebt U.S.A to Communist China. Patriots, sign on! Impeach Bush, Cheney and nullify their Supreme Court appointments!
    Lawrence Baker (your name)
    (Your representatives)
    Sen. Boxer
    Sen. Feinstein
    Rep. Eshoo

    All representatives- We are starting a list. I demand that you reaffirm your allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America and begin impeachment procedure against Bush, Cheney. If you do not, you will be branded a traitor. You’re either with U.S or against U.S.
    Impeaching Bush, Cheney would not only save and cleanse the U.S.A but also bring our citizens together. Once again Americans would have pride and respect for their country. Impeachment of these neo-con criminals would vindicate the U.S.A with the rest of the world.
    If these evil criminals win, they rule with slavery, secrecy, lies, fear, hate, torture, terror and violence.
    Our Founding Fathers knew that this element would always try to destroy the U.S.A that is why we have a Constitution to keep this element in check. After 2010 under N.A.U. rule (after the people find out; neo-con corporate media guilty) there will be violence and war which will play into their hands, evil thrives in that environment.(Mexican Army)
    What about the economy? (shake, shake) our economy is already destroyed, the economy is an inside game. We can compete as Americans, after we purge our government of the traitor politicians; do not let their defeatist strategy scare you. We can do it! All we need is enough courage. The longer we wait, the harder it will be to get it done. DO IT NOW PEACEFULLY!!

  4. cas,

    A few years back, I worked for Betty Williams. She has a fiery side, but that is passion. Passion for children. All children. Passion for their safety and their lives.

    She related a story to me once, and it would be difficult to recall all the facts accurately, so I won’t try, except to say it was something of her defining moment. It was what ‘put her over the edge’ and made her into an activist for peace.

    I don’t know the date, but as with many of the bloody conflicts in Northern Ireland, it resulted in a random child dying in her lap. Two, at the same time, if I recall correctly. After that she got up, organized a lot of mothers, marched, knocked on doors, and demanded peace. Eventually, it happened.

    I can assure you that her comments are borne more through frustration than hate. You’ve seen, online or on tv, the “dead babies”, of Iraq, as Betty would call them. Others maimed, some just scared, but all emotionally scarred forever. Mr. Bush, for whatever reason, is the direct cause of a lot of children’s suffering and that, I believe, would be Betty’s point. Maybe, through some bit of logic he will eventually prove their champion. One would hope. However, I’d suggest it is far easier having kids die at your feet, than in your lap…

  5. Since when does an opinion have to meet your criteria Michael? Pseudo ‘Politically correct’ thinking like yours is what poisons the well of critical thought.

    Freedom starts with the freedom to say what you like, and not have to appease trolls like Michael.

    Go back to masterbating Michael, it’s the only thing you do well.

  6. cas,

    Please give equal time in your opinion here to Pat Robertson calling for the assassination of Hugo Chavez and Ann Coulter calling for the assassination of…

    … just about every liberal, progressive or Democrat alive.

    Wouldn’t want you to look like a hypocrite now, would we?

  7. And this coming from a Nobel Peace Prize winner “Right now, I could kill George Bush,” she said at the Adam’s Mark Hotel and Conference Center in Dallas. “No, I don’t mean that. How could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that.” This is why the peace prize is a joke, and the people stood and CHEERED, gotta love them peace activists, I wonder what they would do if they really hated someone.Bet a nickel this does not get airtime on NBC, ABC,or CBS
