"A third of my generation is dead because of politicians like Giuliani." -- Steven Pokorny, age 28, at Giuliani during meeting in Miami, Sunday, Jan. 13
MIAMI, Jan. 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rudy Giuliani was rattled by pro-life advocates and canceled his speech at his first bus-tour event Sunday in Miami. Activists have planned confrontations with Rudy for every stop of his Florida bus tour. Photos available online.
On Sunday, Jan. 13, at approximately 12:15 PM, pro-life activists were in the crowd at The Green Street Cafe (located at 3110 Commodor Plaza, Coconut Grove Florida, just outside Miami) waiting for Giuliani to begin his Florida Bus Tour.
When Rudy Giuliani arrived, Joseph Landry (age 26) was within 5 feet of the candidate, and began yelling: You are a baby killer! You are a baby killer! Florida is pro-life! Rudy wants public funding for abortion!" See news report. Law enforcement officials immediately escorted Mr. Landry from the area, while Mr. Landry continued his monologue.
Within Minutes, Steven Pokorny, age 28, stood to his feet and cried out, "A third of my generation is dead because of politicians like Giuliani! Giuliani wants to kill children and have you pay for it!" Law enforcement did not stop Mr. Pokorny.
At that point, Giuliani left the building, without addressing the crowd.
Mr. Pokorny was able to follow Mr. Giuliani for more than a minute, yelling out about Rudy's pro-choice, pro-homosexual agenda. Again, Mr. Pokorny was not interrupted by police.
Giuliani officials had no idea how many pro-lifers were in the crowd, and how many more times Giuliani would be confronted. This might explain why Mr. Giuliani did not make any remarks - and left the meeting without addressing supporters.
Pro-lifers have scheduled confrontations with Rudy on every stop of his Florida Bus tour.
Video footage of the confrontations with Rudy is available upon request.
>Defeating the party of death for one thing.
Yeah, that has worked so well since Roe v Wade.
I see your point, of course.
And apparently, in his supporters' worlds, as well. Good grief.
What laws did these people break?
Please cite them.
This kind of stuff may actually gain Rudy some votes.
Prohibited? Free Republic cut its eyeteeth FReeping liberal politicians. Our chapters followed the Clintons, Gores, and Kerrys all around the country and FReeped them at every opportunity. Our FReeps are legend and the harrowing stories are permanently recorded for posterity on news reels and in several books. We’ve never met a liberal that didn’t deserve FReeping!
Rudy Tooters should pray their man (if you can call her that) does not win the nomination. The FReeping opportunities will be limitless.
And supporting Rudy gives us a liberal RINO in the White House--a fate equally unacceptable, if not worse. (Example: Schwarzenegger)
What’s “weird” is how you are needing to twist everything around from what was initially said and what were the subsequent replies.
It’s obvious YOU are the lawyer.
If you’re talking about your blahblah at post 68, uh, I don’t think so.
But since you say you already “addressed” the “fire” issue, pray tell, how then are you sticking to your conclusion that the First Amendment is absolute and that there are no limits on protesting at political rallies?
I’ll try to keep up if you try to answer the questions put to you, k?
Classless acts like this convince the disinterested general public to whom abortion is a second tier issue at best that all pro-lifers are kooks they don’t want to associate with. And that characterization is going to be alive and well in their minds long after this one election.

Does that work ?????????
“How many times must I say FR is a conservative site? We do not support abortionism, homosexualism, feminisim, environmentalism, gun control, liberalism, socialism, etc, etc, etc. When I say I suspect we will become even more conservative than we already are, possibly via attrition if nothing else, what do you think I’m referring to? When FR starts pushing hard and I mean hard against abortion, gay marriage, homosexual education forced on our school children, pandering to illegal aliens, gun control, McCaine-Feingold type usurpation, global warming, etc, etc, even if supported or advanced by the GOP, then I fully suspect certain types of moderate/liberal Republican supporters are probably going to be a little uncomfortable here. We will be fighting for traditional American conservatism no matter who we have to fight against and I’m afraid that’s going to piss off some folks.”

speask = speak
So, if there’s no difference between Rudy and any of the Rats, what, exactly, was accomplished to FURTHER the pro-life movement with these protests? Where is the net gain?
Yours is a prescription for chaos, and *stifles* speech.LOL, free speech stifles free speech? I don't think so. Rooty the Baby Killer can keep speaking if he wants to.
Amen.
And being rude bullies raises lots of money to fund pro-abortion candidates.
Dumb, when there’s no upside except harassing a failing candidate.
It is your opinion he is a RINO.
barryg is like a minor infection, not infectious enough to prescribe an antibiotic, but irritating enough to cause discomfort.
Truth is the net gain. Rooty is exposed as the corrupt coward he is. B’bye rooty!
Not only are you a lawyer, you are a snake lawyer. Cite the post where I stated or intimated that. You cannot.
Then go to my post #133.
Let me know if you get an answer to your excellent question. All I’ve heard so far is that such protests are “allowed.”
Yes, protesters stifle the speech of others.
