Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has canceled an April speaking engagement in Toronto, fearing for his safety, organizers announced Tuesday.
The arch-conservative Republican who served under President George W. Bush was scheduled to speak at the Metro Convention Center April 24…
Last September when Cheney was booked to speak in Vancouver, protesters marched and booed as he and guests arrived and police kept him in a hotel lockdown until crowds were dispersed.
…Both liberal and conservative Canadian media mocked Cheney’s decision to avoid speaking in Toronto.
The rightist National Post was scathing in an editorial: “Who knows what else might happen: He could be surrounded by socialist doctors and forced to undergo indoctrination on public healthcare,” the Post said. “Gay couples, who are allowed to marry under Canada’s perverse wedding laws, might block his way and kiss where he could see them.”
The liberal Toronto Star also pulled no punches: “Has Dick Cheney been reading about how all the mean ‘pinkos’ up in Toronto treat their right-wing politicians? Or is he just scared of Canadians in general?” the Star asked.
Isn’t there a Canadian branch of the NRA to protect him?
What a pussy. They were going to give him a heart too.
I betcha it’s more fearing the International Criminal Court.
Right in one Hyph3n
I’d think Obama would have the same problem. Killing people in other countries breaks a lot of international laws. He is breaking Sharia law. He may need all his body guards.
Who in the world, would go to listen to such a jerk?
Dick Cheney who? In more important news Courtney Love tells TMZ the Muppets “RAPED” Kurt. She is just jealous, and wishes it was her instead, sources say. More controversial is no Muppet has ever been seen having genitalia!
In other braking news, out of work Hollywood B-list actors are coming out of the wood work jumping on the ” I am gay now everyone look at me” list! Proving that Neil Patrick Harris is responsible for putting an end to the Hollywood sex tape crazy.
Muppets are alway being fisted…
If you don’t know what fisting is, you must be leading a very sheltered life.
But what does this have to do with Cheney not being a living human being?
Someone should check the poor fellow in to get some PTSD treatment.
I thought liberals were in favor of free speech.
Someone needs to clue in that guy in the story that Cheney supports gay marriage.
He knows we should want him dead because he knows how guilty and evil he is. Unfortunately for the world, his critics are left wing advocates for peace and don’t believe in murder for political purposes. Cheney does, and that is why the liberals have no chance against him.
He a murderous coward and he’s scared that the liberals Canadians will ship off to wherever there’s a trial for his worthless hide or that they’ll stick him in jail until his batteries run out.
It hasnt been long that MOST Gov. Major employees, had to fend for themselves..
THEY WERENT CHICKENS..
Only a few ever got SHOT.
At what university was he supposed to deliver his speech?
“The arch-conservative Republican who served under President George W. Bush ”
Hang on, I thought it was sort of the opposite.
This one will give looney tunes like Dallas some good conspiracy fodder.
Dick Cheney does not have a functioning heart, he has an artificial implant that has taken over the complete function of pumping blood through his body. Yes you tin foil hat wearing nut cases Cheney does not have a heart beat and only a single blood pressure not 2 like all the rest of the non Darth Vadrered people
YOU KNOW: just another “clue” how f-uped our once great country is when past leaders (BushtheRetardedMeat Puppet, Cheney the Puppet Master, Rumsfeld) have to be very careful about, and hardly if ever, go over seas once out of office for fear of being arrested?
But lets just call it partisan politics or media coverage so we don’t have to look at ourselves in the mirror.
That gurgling sound……..its is the sewer.
Cheney totally deserves it, but I’m going to bookmark some of these articles and comments and return to it 2 or 5 years from now when Obama and his former admins are booed by right wing crowds. I bet the response from the left will be just as whiny as the response to this from the right.
A robot would show more humanity.
And if you can’t think of 4 reasons to boo Obama you need to pull your head from some nether orifice.
Ohh, it’s a gathering. They are going to have one of those Active Denial microwave pain-rays there. Dangerous to him.
His daughter was on Hannity tonight ((so was Michele Malkin so I may be confusing two different shows)). My gawd, what a shit stain of a human being Hannity is. They want to equate Limbaugh’s current troubles as on par with Bill Maher and some woman on video from 20 years ago saying something stupid.
Only fit for the born again South where 66% of the registered Republican Voters don’t believe in evolution.
Hard to believe we are all the same species, but every bell cure has to have its extreme. But 66%–?
Ha, ha. Stoopid Hoomans.
And the Repubes interested in numbers of voters, not whether they can think their way out of a paper bag.
They know that a total idiot’s vote is as good as a college professor’s and usually easier to get.
For one thing, you don’t have to bother with facts.
For another, you don’t have to bother with whether you’re making any sense.
While the professors love to argue to hear themselves expound in a hundred directions, the idiots love to shout a simple, easy to remember, jingoistic clap-trap.
That’s what’s always been wrong with the electoral system.
We need a selectoral system.
There is that saying about wise men appearing unsure and fools being totally certain.
but aren’t we seeing the selectorial system at play right now? The .01% funding those they select to the exclusion of those who don’t get such funding?
but seriously–who selects?
Paranoia running high! And this idiot was the VP. Go figure!
He’s more machine now than man…
Jeering pitchfork wielding Canadians? Again?!
Here’s a guy that was appropriately named.
This is rich he’s scared coming from the guy who invaded Iraq
In case you don’t know, there is an international arrest warrant out for Cheney’s arrest. Nigeria requested him.
eDnERD you really are a leftist bigit prick, I just wonder which pervert you are during the Gay Pride parade in Seattle.
You don’t seem to mind that President Huessin has continued all of Cheney’s/Bush’s policies, and heavily expanded the erosion of you rights.
You’re just locked into the Demoncrat vs Republicrapt stupidity, wake up and smell the Globalist Elite’s revolution of the rich and powerful. This revolution is going on while dips like you continue to spread old meme’s. People like you are the reason the Dark Ages occurred and will brought back by the Globalist.
