At the site www.digitaldocumentaries.com, Natham Bramble has posted a (RealVideo) documentary video he made of protesters at President Bush's inauguration.
The video can be viewed at http://www.digitalvideodocumentaries.com/dv_protest.html
His comments from that web page:
Protests of the 2001 InaugurationOn this forum page, he invites comments:January - 2001
The debacle surrounding the Presidential election of 2000 will undoubtedly be spoken about, reported on, and analyzed for many years to come. All the mistakes and controversy surrounding the outcome has placed a lot of doubt on the legitimacy of George Bush's right to the title President of the United States of America. Bush's choices for his staff and cabinet appointments have ushered in the new American regime of Republican rule, which has also generated a lot of anger and frustration among those who have become used to a more liberal government in President Clinton and his staff.
People came from all over the country to witness the swearing in of America's 43rd president, including me and a few of my friends to help me make this short film. Many came to voice their anger about every controversial issue you can think of. Many were protesting the outcome of the election, shouting about the Supreme Court's decision to get involved, others included women's rights organizations, environmental issues, corporate influence in the government, and many other things.
Many supporters of George Bush were also present, shouting back at the protesters. Although, the Bush supporters weren't as vocal and active in voicing their opinion. I saw very few signs in support of the new president.
It was cold and raining and security was tight, but I was able to get enough interviews with people to make this short online documentary about the protests that were going on during the inauguration.
A new film is up on the site. It’s a documentary in which I interview some of the people who were protesting during the 2001 Presidential Inauguration of George W. Bush. Please check it out and I’d love to hear any feedback you might have.
Don't worry, you and your fellow travelers will have yet another chance to try and steal another election in '04.
I'll go out on a limb, and predict a Ronald Reagan style, landslide, leftist smackdown Republican win.
Also, I’ve seen several of the reported “confusing” ballets that were being used in Florida and as a person who has studied user interfaces I could certainly see why people were getting confused. Add to that the controversy over minorities being turned away at voting centers, recount after recount, and something about overseas military votes being ignored or lost or whatever it was, I can’t remember, leads me to think that the whole voting process was faulty.
And see, given the fact that children in 4th grade could use the ballots, without confusion, to vote for Mickey Mouse, I disagree about any 'confusion'.
Furthermore, WHAT controversy concerning minorities being turned away? The Civil Rights Commission, headed by a solidly democrat leader, found not ONE--NOT ONE--person who should have been able to vote, but was turned away.
And the recount after recount--in which not ONCE did Gore lead, was a clear indication that Pres. Bush won the election.
And finally, I'm not surprised you know so little about the military ballots being invalidated. Gore's laywers were able to disqualify them on the most flimsy of circumstances, even high fiving each other after they were able to disenfranchise thousands of our soldiers.
I havn't seen your website, nor your video, sir. But I'm not surprised anymore by the extent liberal leftists will go to push thier ignorant, uninformed view.
I'm sure I'll find, if I view the video, a bunch of uninformed, quasi-educated youths who think they know what really happen in Florida. I've heard it all reading the newspapers and forums on the web, and frankly, it's a bit depressing to see so many youth who havn't bothered to read anything except the leftist views of the media. Watching a 60 second newsclip from CNN headline news is NOT staying informed.
I appreciate you commenting in this forum, and your views are worth considering, if your informed of the issues. Otherwise, like the protestors in DC, your just as ignorant and not worth listening too.
"Florida Recounts Would Have Favored Bush"
Further into the article, it states:
"In all likelihood, George W. Bush still would have won Florida and the presidency last year if either of two limited recounts -- one requested by Al Gore, the other ordered by the Florida Supreme Court -- had been completed, according to a study commissioned by The Washington Post and other news organizations."
Read the article for yourself here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A12623-2001Nov11
But let's at least be honest with each other--your not interested in being open-minded, your not interested in truth of information, nor are you interested in facts--after all, your a liberal, and a member of 'Bartcop.com'.
You know, I'm always more then willing to discuss the issues. Your 'Bartcop.com' special, in the forums over there, is truely incredible. You discuss being banned from freerepublic.com because of your disagreeing view here, yet, getting INTO the Bartcop.com Forum just to post, is nearly impossible. And just incase you do, you can be rest assured if you don't support thier view, you will be banned. Who's being the hypocrite now?
I really don't think your view of the election will change. Having read Bartcop.com, I find it to be not only misleading, but also simply disgustingly perverse and downright offensive. But, that's really what you leftist idiots are about, offensivness.
