After a busy weekend protesting the Re-Election of President Bush, some Boulder High School students, and their teacher, Mr. Jim Vacca, got a visit from the Secret Service today.
The protest, which managed to attract Congressman Mark Udall (D), who is expected to run for governor in 2006, was only a warmup to the action this week.
Earlier this week, according to several dozen witnesses and the Boulder Daily Camera (you may have to register, no charge), a student band, with Mr. Vacca playing along, played out a song that called for the death of President Bush. The band, the Taliband, played at a student talent show earlier this week.
Earlier today, the Mike Rosen show on 850 KOA was flooded with calls from students who claimed that the band "advocates killing George W. Bush." The band is scheduled to perform tomorrow night at the high school, however, the band is no longer going by "The Taliband" but is now known as "The Coalition of the Willing." There will be a multimedia show during the song showing pictures of President Bush.
Apparently the band sang "George Bush, I hope you die soon" to the tune of their punk version of Bob Dylan's "Masters of War." Jim Vacca, facing a tital wave of public outrage, has dropped out of the band. It remains to be seen how the Secret Service will treat this matter.
Wish I had a good picture of a rotten egg gatling gun to post!
"Its a beautiful town if you just fly over it."
Now we have a taste of the filth that lurks below.
LOL I'm sure they'll go down and pat them on their heads. Republicans are becoming spineless. They'll probably toss them candy while they're at it.
Absolutely, P-Marlowe, you're right and the air is so much cleaner.
It's beautiful, but Colorado Springs is more beautiful, and it isn't populated by people who want the President killed.
The Aclu would run to the rescue of the left, they may still for freedom of speech.
If you fly a glider over the town, the collective hot air rising from the University will keep you up all day.
Oh dear the feds visited them........
LOL
Leet's hope that they treat it VERY seriously. It is evident that this teacher doesn't have the judgement needed in an educator.
That photo is decades old.
I take it none of the parents are upset by this in their childrens' high school?
The "Taliband", that's pretty witty. I hope when that Congressman runs for governor, his opponent plasters commercials all over the airwaves showing him gettin' down to the Taliband.
LOL! Nice try, but that picture is from a film made in the 1970's.
Maybe things haven't changed as much as you think.
Absolutely! You're the man for the job.
And since this will be a historic run, you can use one of these to make the drop...
A google seach reveals that Jim Vacca is the advisor to the school's so-called "gay straight alliance" club.
Another reason for people to make it a short term priority to keep your kids away from such dangerous idiots by keeping your kids out of government schools - and in the long run to radically reform government schools.
I can't avoid it! My folks live there.
Whenever they have a meeting with the other two Boulder Republicans, they drive separate cars for fear that an accident would wipe out the entire local GOP.
(That's a joke, son).
