Look at the face of the violent lady protester! Does she look like a terrorist? Certainly not. It is Dick Cheney, the cult follower of Skull and Bones behaving and acting like a real terrorist. That's why I was at the rally with my new T-Shirt "Zionsit Criminals I love Osama (comparing war criminal George Bush, Cheney, Blair).

Hundreds of protesters demonstrating against US Vice-President Dick Cheney's visit to Australia have clashed with police in central Sydney.
Scuffles broke out as officers reinforced by mounted police tried to prevent more than 200 people marching down central George Street to the US consulate, and several protesters were arrested.
The demonstrators were later allowed to make their way to the consulate, where they chanted slogans demanding the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and the release of an Australian held at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay.
Mr Cheney was due to arrive in Sydney late on Thursday evening, after visiting Japan and making a brief stopover at the Anderson Air Force Base in the US Pacific territory of Guam.
Protest organisers said they would mount demonstrations each day until Mr Cheney left on Sunday.
Australian Prime Minister John Howard is a close ally of US President George W. Bush, and has deployed some 1,400 troops to the US-led coalition operations in Iraq.
During the protest two lanes of traffic were blocked by police and onlookers.
Security lockdown
Sydney went into security lockdown early in the day in preparation for Mr Cheney's visit.
NSW police planned one of the largest dignitary protection operations since the visit of US President George W Bush in October 2003.
Hundreds of police will be called into action as the vice president's motorcade travels through Sydney.
Police have warned that road closures and protesters will cause major traffic disruptions during the three-day Sydney visit.
"This is a very large-scale operation brought about by the fact that Dick Cheney is certainly high risk in regard to a terrorist-related type threat," Deputy Police Commissioner Terry Collins told reporters.
Police say they believe there is no credible terrorism threat, but Mr Cheney can expect anti-war protesters and demonstrations by people angry over America's treatment of Australian terror suspect David Hicks.
Mr Cheney's official itinerary begins tomorrow with a major speech on US-Australian relations to the Australian American leadership dialogue.
He will thank Australian troops for their efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan when he visits Sydney's Victoria Barracks before a meeting with Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd in the afternoon.
Mr Howard's meeting with Mr Cheney will take place on Saturday, as the prime minister will be in Canberra tomorrow thrashing out a water deal with the states.
Mr Cheney is due to fly out of Australia on Sunday.
