Protesters made it hard to hear President Bush Friday as he welcomed new citizens and marked Independence Day at the home of Thomas Jefferson.As is the tradition each Fourth of July, a naturalization ceremony was held at Monticello in Charlottesville, Va. This year, 76 immigrants from 30 different countries came to take the oath of citizenship.
But Bush repeatedly was interrupted as he welcomed the guests.
“That man is a fascist!” one protester yelled. Another swore at him.
The protesters later were removed from the ceremony by law enforcement officials.
“To my fellow citizens to be — we believe in free speech in the United States of America,” Bush said when the protesters started shouting.

VLOGZ, I like this story. It's good stuff. Most were from Code Pink. While folks want to celebrate America, this group wants to disruptive where ever they go. Some want to honor those who gave us freedom, while others want to use the dead to complain.
