Baird in VancouverFrom Democracy for Vancouver: Baird at one point insinuated that - when the crowd let out a huge round of boos for his upbeat Iraq trip report - they were booing the troops, which worked the crowd into a frenzy. He was then fighting an uphill battle for the better part of the hour. We lost count of how many times he evoked Al Queda and noted that the magic six month figure came up more than once. It was really ugly and awkward.From a great report from Ridenbaugh Press: One man seemed to place his finger on the feeling here when he compared protests about Iraq and other Bush Administration policy to a 9-1-1 call: The people have been calling 9-1-1 to report an emergency, but no one ever responds, including Congress. They have felt ignored, and now they're furious about it. Many, clearly, had hoped for more change when a new majority was seated in Congress in January, only to find much less than they'd hoped for.Other reports from Slog and NPI Blog.
