Italian expats get Impeach Bush signs on NBC Today Show

It wasn't easy, but during the NBC Today Show shot live in Rome today, we managed to get one of our Impeach Bush signs on the air. Watch the video (after the advert), sign shows in background right after the map of Italy: http://tinyurl.com/bmdn2 There were about 10 of us there, all with Impeach Bush signs (camouflaged initially as Hi Mom signs). We were swarmed by tourists who took our photos, asked to have their photos taken with us and cheered and clapped. We tried chanting Stop the War during one of the segments (while Katie was sampling ice cream at an outdoor cafe) and were shoved away by their "crowd control" people.

One of our more patient members actually sat through all the videos of the Today show and found one of us chanting Stop Stop Stop the War. Katie was even forced to acknowledge us with a remark about freedom of speech :) http://tinyurl.com/ayu8m (again after the advert)

Afterwards, one of the producers told us "this isn't the right venue for your message." An Italian man said, "No, this is the right place. You guys did the right thing." Then she said "you can't get your message across by shouting (referring to our chanting). You've got to communicate calmly." I walked over and said, "Give me a mic and I'll explain our position calmly." They declined.

SPINE

Utterly logical response to a dumbass statement.

Perfect response. Salute!

The complicit corporate media really doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Keep watching, and look behind the dipshit's head--IMPEACH BUSH, clear as a bell!

What a tool that producer was though--NOT THE RIGHT VENUE? But "Navy Seals ROCK!!" from perky Katie is just hunky-dory...gimme a break!

CNN, NBC and other networks have Huge windows behind the hairdos. If I lived in NYC, I'd get my ass down there at least one day a week with a sign.

It's my understanding that there are at least one or two Liberals and/or Democrats up there.

Get busy.

"Sorry, the clip you requested is not available"

:(

Right after Katie talks about going to Florence, you get a great view of the sign.

:(

For the Today Show and GMA.

LMAO. Just exactly WHICH forum did they have in mind, then?

be done?

Thanks...that was a treat!

:applause: Thanks for the link!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

I couldn't view the video either. I kept getting messages that I needed to download software.

Thanks, you guys. That was back in February and we had a great time.
