Peace prize winner 'could kill' Bush Annabelle McDonald 25jul06

NOBEL peace laureate Betty Williams displayed a flash of her feisty Irish spirit yesterday, lashing out at US President George W.Bush during a speech to hundreds of schoolchildren.

Campaigning on the rights of young people at the Earth Dialogues forum, being held in Brisbane, Ms Williams spoke passionately about the deaths of innocent children during wartime, particularly in the Middle East, and lambasted Mr Bush.

"I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence', because I don't believe that I am non-violent," said Ms Williams, 64.

"Right now, I would love to kill George Bush." Her young audience at the Brisbane City Hall clapped and cheered.

"I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize, because when I see children die the anger in me is just beyond belief. It's our duty as human beings, whatever age we are, to become the protectors of human life."

Ms Williams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 30 years ago, when she circulated a petition to end violence in Northern Ireland after witnessing British soldiers shoot dead an IRA member who was driving a car. He veered on to the footpath, killing two children from one family instantly and fatally injuring a third.

Ms Williams's petition had tens of thousands of Protestant and Catholic women walking the streets together in protest. Now the former office receptionist heads the World Centres of Compassion for Children International, a non-profit group working to create a political voice for children.

"My job is to tell you their stories," Ms Williams said of a recent trip to Iraq.

She tell school children she'd love to kill the President of the United States and they clapped? OMG

Leftists like this don't have the moral authority to even be parents, imo.

[prairiebreeze]

She shouldn't be allowed within a hundred yards of any school. Treat her exactly like a pedophile.

[Peach]

It's really disgusting. And I'll tell you this - much as I disliked Clinton, if my nieces had told me that someone in their school had said that, they'd be hearing from me about their guest and I know my brother would have called as well.

This is outrageous to make jokes like this with little children. And then we wonder why kids pull a Columbine.

Betty Williams mother was artificially inseminated with Sperm from a dirty butt-monkey from the Tali ban. Our superior armed forces sent her forefathers to their dirt naps and she's upset about that. Therefore her terrorist inbred political views are on display for the whole world to spit upon.

[goldstategop]

Pacifists make an exception for murder... when its President Bush. Then its anything goes.

(Go Israel Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)

[Alouette]

I'd like to see her do this with Muslims and Jews.

She'll have no problem organizing a pro-Hezbollah march with a couple of Neturei Karta shills.

[Darkwolf377]

Romanticizing a threat against the President.

The left loves to romanticize violence "for the cause" whatever "the cause" happens to be--Che and various practitinoers of necklacing, for example.

"I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize,

its easy, be a vocal liberal/communist and they seem to come pretty easy...

[CometBaby]

Nobel peace prize winner inciting school children to support assassinations... good good good?

This is why the Nobel award has become as big a joke as the United Nations.

[j_tull]

because when I see children die the anger in me is just beyond belief..

any bets where this c*nt stands on abortion?

[satchmodog9]

Sick old pig. Hypocrite as well.

There. Much better.

Do you know what one of the older definitions of the word feisty means? A dog farting

I'd say this fits her.

"I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize, because when I see children die the anger in me is just beyond belief..."

And your views on abortion....?

[elc]

Actually, there were many Protestants who led the fight for civil rights for Catholics - both before the partition and after.

[Puppage]

"Right now, I would love to kill George Bush." Her young audience at the Brisbane City Hall clapped and cheered.

Talk about a brainwashed, captive audience.

[Retired Army Special Forces]

She is the exact same thing that makes up the majority of the Democrat party these days. No different than your average DUmmy or KOSmunist. They are all part of the America hating global socialist movement.

[Churchillspirit]

.....civil rights for Catholics...

?????

[elc]

Yes, there was a time in the North when Catholics were not treated equally...

[Churchillspirit]

Perhaps you could elaborate on your remark.
