Gonzales nixes public appearance amidst protest

10:02 AM MDT on Wednesday, June 27, 2007

BOISE -- A peaceful protest turned vocal Tuesday afternoon as America’s top attorney refuses to speak before those who oppose him.

The controversial attorney general was in town to deliver a specific message -- one aimed at bolstering the fight against gangs.

But with about 100 protestors on hand with a different agenda, the AG decided the environment was too hostile.

Shortly before Gonzales was to address the public at the Fort Boise Community Center, it was announced the media conference would be moved and restricted to reporters only.

"The concern was, because of other individuals that were there, it would detract and be a distraction from a very important message that I wanted to deliver to the people of this community, that there's a lot of stuff going on in Boise and in this area," said Gonzales.

for harboring White Supremacists. There used to be a 'compound' in north Idaho. Otherwise it has a very, Mormon, influenced type of Conservatism, which permeates the politics. Very 'Family' oriented which is doublespeak for we hate anyone else's lifestyle, and will trample your rights to keep you from it.

It's not like that.

You've never been there.

I'm so far left that Dems have to send up smoke signals to find me, but snarky comments about places you've never been won't cut it.

Skin your own head.

There are more than a few liberals here. The way this place is painted by those who would probably point to Iowa on a map if asked to find Idaho would be hilarious if it weren't such a pervasive view. Sad.

I'm in Portland. You know, "liberal" Portland. We are Skinhead Central here. I'm quite certain that there are more white supremacists in the P-Town metro area than in all of Idaho.

So vocal = not peaceful?

You know you've had it when you're a conservative being protested in Idaho.

:rofl: :rofl:

they failed to say Idaho wasn't into being repressed by crime family spoiled brat elitist idiots.

Otherwise I think they're pretty cool with repression.
