Tim Robbins Is Impeachment Still Off the Table?
Contributed by J. R. Ransom
Tim Robbins
Video and transcript of Tim Robbins speech on January 27 2007 "Is Impeachment Still Off the Table?" Speaking at the Washington, D. C. peace rally, actor Tim Robbins said: "...Some have said recently that impeachment is off the table." (Crowd yells "No".) "What was that?" (Crowd yells "No", again.) "On the train coming down here today I talked to a young woman whose brother has just been deployed. Due to the recent Bush escalation, her brother is being rushed into action. Instead of the proper 12 week training period this young 20-year old serviceman will hit the ground in a hostile land with 2 weeks training. Is impeachment still off the table? (Crowd yells "No", again.)
"This past November, the American people sent the resounding message to Washington D. C. and the world - we want change, we want this war to end. And how did Bush respond?
21,500 more will risk their lives for his misguided war. Is impeachment still off the table? (Crowd yells "No", again.) Let's get him out of office. Let's get him out of office before he starts ruling from a bunker. Let's get him out of office before the only one on his side is his dog Barney.
Dictator?
"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier. Just as long as I'm the dictator." - George W. Bush
"Nixon..., Richard Nixon talked to the walls. Bush is talking to God. But it's not a god I recognize. This god seems to be giving George a pass on some of His major commandments. This god seems to be OK with lying, or 'bearing witness' as he puts it, against the US Congress, against the United States people, against the world. Bearing false witness on weapons of mass destruction. Bearing false witness on nuclear capability. Bearing false witness on the imminent threat of Saddam. Bearing false witness on the links between al-Qaeda and Iraq.
Capitol Rally
"This god seems to be giving George a pass on stealing. Stealing the resources of the Iraqi people. Squandering the hard earned tax dollars of United States citizens for an unnecessary war. Money that could be intelligently used to fight against terrorism is squandered in a way and in a war that creates more terrorists. Money that could be used for helping the elderls, the poor, the infirmed here at home is instead lining the pockets of war-profiteers from Halliburton and private mercenary militias like Blackwater. But George's god says, 'That's cool, George'. His god tells him to honor his father and mother, but when his father him not to occupy Iraq, George's god counsels him to ignore his father.
Impeach
"Well, I think we have a different understanding of those commandments, here. And let's not forget that most important one - 'Thou shalt not kill.' Thou shalt not kill or recklessly risk the lives of our brave men and women overseas. Over 3,000 dead. Over 50,000 wounded. Thou shalt not kill or needlessly risk the lives of Iraqi civilians. How many? 50,000? 200,000? 400,000? 650,000? Only God knows, George. Only God knows."
