Taunted and jeered, Bolton bolted

"John Bolton is the kind of man with whom I would want to stand at Armageddon, if it should be my lot to be on hand for what is forecast to be the final battle between good and evil in this world."
Senator Jesse Helms (Republican, North Carolina, retired)

Facing an increasingly hostile group of law students in an Oxford seminar that had somehow gone dreadfully wrong, beads of sweat began to pop out on John Bolton’s furrowed brow. Amidst a rising chorus of taunts, jeers, hisses and outright denunciations, Bolton was swiftly surrounded by his entourage of three American security agents and whisked out the door of the seminar room at Oriel College on Friday, the 9th of June.

Pursued by vocal recriminations from angry and frustrated American students who led the incisive questioning and the equally incisive jeering -- with taunts like, “You should be doing a better job!” Bolton bolted. He turned sharply on his heel and took flight out the door and then fled down the mediaeval passageway and into the relative safety and calm of his bullet-proof diplomatic limousine, Bolton swiftly headed out of Oxford, rudely foregoing the well-established tradition of lingering to talk with interested members of the audience.

Bolton’s swift exit contrasted sharply with Oxford appearances by two other American politicians earlier this term. Both John Podesta and Richard Perle enjoyed lingering for discussions with Oxford audiences after their talks. John Bolton would have none of it, and the reason was obvious. Throughout the questioning, the audience became increasingly hostile and combative towards his neoconservative agenda.

:rofl:

This is the only way we will be able to bring them down without violence. They need to be made into laughing stocks everywhere they go.

They need to face the consequences for their policies just like the rest of us do, unprotected.

Like the bit at the end of the video Colbert showed at the Press Corp Dinner. Where everyone starts asking questions, first one person, then another, until everyone is yelling questions and Bush/Official is driven from the room.

Cindy Sheehan has shown it can work with bush.

I'm with you, we need to do this to every member of the junta every single time they walk out of their homes in the morning and keep it up until they retire at night.

They are 'leaders' only so long as they have people who accept their leadership. Time to fire the liars - every damned one of them.

they hate it, they hate being ridiculed.

Personally, I wouldn't want to be standing anywhere near John Bolton at Armageddon. If there truly is a just God, ol' John is going to be the target of a lot of wrath.

And a :toast: for the students at Oxford! :woohoo:

him. "Fled" to limousine---:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Such a disgusting POS!

Look how he trys to "trick" the students into admitting they are as self interested as bushbots-

In what was rapidly becoming his interrogation, a woman from America questioned Bolton about the need for a balanced approach where America would represent the best interests of the world at large rather than its own particular regional self-interest. At that point, Bolton fumbled. In a clumsy and misguided attempt to turn the tables on his adroit and incisive challengers, Bolton threw out a question of his own. He called for a show of hands of those in the audience who were British. Bolton then asked how many of them wanted the British Ambassador at the UN to represent the interests of Britain. Only one or two hands were raised. Then he asked to see a show of hands of those British subjects who wanted the British Ambassador at the UN to represent not only the interests of Britain but also the collective interests of the other members as well. At least a dozen hands went up into the air. Stunned, Bolton was dumbfounded and said rather witlessly, “I would have gotten a different result in America.”

This is why Europe is so angry at us. Because our students aren't doing the same thing.

Something they'd never be allowed to do back in the U S of A/

That says a lot.

Nothing wrong with group sex if that's your thing, but demanding that your wife do it publicly when she doesn't want to is typical Repub sexual oppression/repression. What is wrong with these people.

:toast:

here's to those students!

These bullies are real wimps.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

She's really not going to like this. She'd undoubtedly want to give us the benefit of her opinion on it, just for the record.

The Brits admired how the American students at Oxford held Bolton's feet to the fire. Note the analogy that Bolton's appointment to the Ambassadorship of the United Nations was tantamount to apointing Vito Corleone to head the FBI! The whole article is one juicy paragraph after another skewering Bolton and revealing him for the elitist neocon that he is.

"At that point, the crowd was warming to the battle unfolding before them and led so capably by the incensed Americans in the audience. With their voices rising in taunts and jeers and more than a dozen hands demanding to be recognized to put more questions to him, Bolton’s attention turned to his phalanx of security agents who surrounded him drawing the question and answer session to an abrupt close. In retrospect, Bolton’s was a disgraceful performance, one committed to an ancien regime of property, monetary wealth and military power in diametrical opposition to the democratic rights of humanity. John Bolton showed himself to be a behemoth of corporate greed and corrupt political influence in world diplomacy. My view is that his appointment to the Ambassadorship of the United Nations was tantamount to appointing Vito Corleone to head the FBI.

The primary purpose of Bolton’s visit to Britain was not made public, but it was clear nevertheless from his public remarks. With a history of trips to Europe to demand the sackings of officials for whom he has a personal dislike, Bolton’s visit to Britain was obviously to demand the sacking of the Deputy Secretary of the UN, a British subject, Mark Malloch Brown. Bolton appeared on the influential BBC4 Today programme, where he was interviewed by Jim Naughtie. Deputy Secretary of the UN Brown was his first target. Brown’s speech critical of US policy vis a vis the UN had clearly irritated Bolton. Brown had criticized the US for using the UN to take care of many foreign policy problems while US officials hypocritically attacked it back home in red state America. By pointing this out, Brown touched a sensitive nerve in Bolton’s neoconservative brain. Then Bolton falsely accused Brown of criticizing the American people – a sheer fabrication. Then, Bolton lashed out at Brown for making remarks that would injure the UN. Coming from Bolton, this appraisal sounded more like a threat than serious criticism. In explaining the US position on the UN, he stated, “I think that the administration has told the truth about the UN – the good, the bad and the ugly,” a strange choice of metaphors for a man with as controversial a reputation as Bolton.

Read the 'detailed synopsis'. Corporate insanity institutionalized within Bush administration policy leads to crazy missions.

claiming that he was defaming the American public. Actually, Brown criticized the American corporate media (specifically FOX News) and the administration for denying Middle America a balanced view of events. If anything, Brown was defending the American public, but allowing that they had been misled, or at least unled, and suggesting that they would do the right thing if only the Money$treamMedia would let them know what was really happening.

To Bolton and his neocon allies, "The People" can only mean "The People Who Run FOX", so from his point of view Brown's remarks were an attack on America. To Americans who can think, it was a well-justified attack on The Cabal.

I posted some BBC articles re Bolton's hissy-fit to GDP; there were a couple of other recent threads as well:

(When I went to search for 'Bolton', I typed in 'Bolbot' -- LOL! I think this is one of those cases where my fingers knew better than my brain did. Although I've always pictured Bolton as more of a Borg.)

They are despised by everyone in the world except the blind, brainwashed imbeciles that watch FOX and the evangelical zealots here in America. That's it, everyone else would tar and feather them given the chance.

don't get out of their cars enough, our culture is breaking down?

These bubbleboys don't even DRIVE their own cars. The near universal condemnation must be very surprising to them when they venture out for a day in the park.

severely limit your point of view, but who's fault is that? They choose to live in their bubble and reject reality because it cramps their style. They fear contact with the unwashed masses and rightly so. If the mob ever did get hold of them they'd be shocked and awed to death.

Simply because they have a small but vocal following and only associate with others of their kind, they think they're governing by a broad mandate.

I love it when they're slapped in the face by cold, hard reality when going to other countries and seeing the almost unanimous opposition to their policies.

:cry:

Republicans are very good at doing what they criticize in others..

What a Jackass....

What a gutless piece of puke! :puke:

in that last battle....

Bolton was probably less aware of the anniversary he was inadvertently celibrating,
and how inspiring that oxford did not let us down.

Any time they open thier mouths in public. Jeer,scorn,defame & poke fun at 'em....Drives 'em nuts as it shows you are not afraid.

Uh oh, Toto, we're not in America anymore!! :rofl:

What a maroon! What an arrogant, idiotic schmuck!!

:cry:

Followed by a seven minute tirade of unprintable obscenities.

Old habits, you know.

for the UN oozed and burst out of him. Held up our payment contributions for years.

I don't want any New Yorkers to lose thier jobs or any landlords to lose their income, but the UN should just move out of New York. Call it quits. We are not a good host.

Then the division will be very visible - the world vs US UK Israel.

Bolton has probably exceeded Helms expectations for an agent of destruction.

Jimmy Hoffa's remains were discovered after having fallen out of John Bolton's mustache as he bolted from Oxford U...

Details at 11.

I'd so love to see this.

Just searched Google video. Nothing yet.

Great article, BTW. I encourage all to read the full text of this article. It really reveals the inherent RACISM in the neocon agenda. When anyone asked a pointed question to Bolton about US hypocracy, he retort was "where are you from?" as if this made any difference to the validity of the questioner's point.

I truly wish for the day when the neocons involved in bringing such chaos to the world are strung up on a lightpost like the fascists of WWII or former Eastern Bloc dictators. I wish them no physical harm personally, but I would shed not a tear if any one of them met with prolonged and agonizing end.

"Bolton’s performance was tantamount to arriving late for dinner, wolfing one’s food and then leaving abruptly before the cigars and Amontillado."

Are we sure he's not related to bush?

Be sure to send copies to all the Dems on the Committee. Maybe they could even screen it during the hearings. That would make for good C-SPAN viewing.:evilgrin:

How brave these Republicans are proving to be! :sarcasm: Former president Bill Clinton would have stood his ground and would have fielded and answered questions. Faced with a hostile audience, Bolton--bolts.

I think this proves that Re pugs can't handle dissent. They haven't the cojones for it. That's why Bolton and his boss try to screen their audience or corral protesters in so-called "free speech zones" at least a quarter mile away.

:rofl:

"crazies" and his nomination left them scratching their heads at how the "crazies" were all being promoted.

I can't recall if it was the FBI or CIA or what - but he had been known as a crazy for years.

Scary stuff.

Americans tend to be ignorant and uninvolved, allowing pricks like Bolton to spew whatever garbage they want without being challenged. Here, we see what happens when he talks to a roomful of smart people - he runs and hides.

I cannot express how sick and tired I am of right-wing idiots like Bolton. We didn't know how good we had it back when kooks and mental cases were rightly marginalized and ignored, not put in important diplomatic positions by an idiotic president.
