Need help with YouTube war protest arrest video

While researching war protests from yesterday, I came across this interesting article. 

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003845496

I tried to view this video through numerous direct and indirect links.  I am able to get video, but no audio.  It appears that Amy Goodman, investigative reporter, age 51, and her crew were arrested while trying to report of the RNC convention protests.  Without sound, it looks like she was not in the middle of anything particularly dramatic.  All I could see was street and building, no spectators.  It looked like she tried to talk to the officers and they spontaneously started manhandling her, detaining, cuffing and ultimately arrested her.  I am curious about the conversation that was going on but have been unable to find audio and video together. 

Is there anyone else who has viewed this video WITH the audio.  If so could you possibly post the link you used.  I am asking because my computer does not seem to be having any problem with other audio on video clips.  For anyone who is not deeply offended by news reporting of the war protest, I have included another link to an LA Times article about the arrest below.

*We've established a foreign terrorist asset tracking center at the Department of the Treasury to identify and investigate the financial infrastructure of the international terrorist networks.*  (September 24, 2001, George W. Bush, President of the United States)

*We have begun to act to block assets to seize books, records and evidence and to follow audit trails to track terror cells poised to do violence to our common interests.*  (November 7, 2001, Paul O'Neill, Secretary of the United States Treasury)

that has been covered by Glenn Beck, Fox News, and Neil Cavuto. 

We need someone in this country who will stand up before Obama and speak their mind in this rational and thougtful manner as this man did to Gordon Brown.  Some are even saying this man could be the next Prime Minister of Great Britain.

as you wish . . . we are entering a new era and there are those of us whose hearts are soaring with joy.  Label it anyway it makes you comfortable, we are joyous.

Just because someone is against the anti-war movement does not make them pro-war.  Just because a group protests the anti-war protestors does not make them pro-war.  BTW, I know of only one person on the conservative board that is a member of Protest Warrior, but I will add that I like what they do.   You do not have corner on the protest market.  You don't have a corner on the free speech market either.  I do believe you all have gained a big corner on the spin market, because you and the liberal press are masterminds of spin.  How's that working for ya?   Let's see. you lost the congressional/senate majority in 1996 and have yet to gain it back.  You lost the Presidential elections in 2000 and 2004.  The spin market doesn't look to profitable to me right now.

When hundreds of religious activists try to get arrested today to protest cutting programs for the poor, prominent conservatives such as James Dobson, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell will not be among them.

That is a great relief to Republican leaders, who have dismissed the burgeoning protests as the work of liberals. But it raises the question: Why in recent years have conservative Christians asserted their influence on efforts to relieve Third World debt, AIDS in Africa, strife in Sudan and international sex trafficking -- but remained on the sidelines while liberal Christians protest domestic spending cuts?

Conservative Christian groups such as Focus on the Family say it is a matter of priorities, and their priorities are abortion, same-sex marriage and seating judges who will back their position against those practices.

It's not a question of the poor not being important or that meeting their needs is not important, said Paul Hetrick, a spokesman for Focus on the Family, Dobson's influential, Colorado-based Christian organization. But whether or not a baby is killed in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, that is less important than help for the poor? We would respectfully disagree with that.

Jim Wallis, editor of the liberal Christian journal Sojourners and an organizer of today's protest, was not buying it. Such conservative religious leaders have agreed to support cutting food stamps for poor people if Republicans support them on judicial nominees, he said. They are trading the lives of poor people for their agenda. They're being, and this is the worst insult, unbiblical.

At issue is a House-passed budget-cutting measure that would save $50 billion over five years by trimming food stamp rolls, imposing new fees on Medicaid recipients, squeezing student lenders, cutting child-support enforcement funds and paring agriculture programs. House negotiators are trying to reach accord with senators who passed a more modest $35 billion bill that largely spares programs for the poor.

At the same time, House and Senate negotiators are hashing out their differences on a tax-cutting measure that is likely to include an extension of cuts in the tax rate on dividends and capital gains.

To mainline Protestant groups and some evangelical activists, the twin measures are an affront, especially during the Christmas season. Leaders of five denominations -- the United Methodist Church, Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian Church USA and United Church of Christ -- issued a joint statement last week calling on Congress to go back to the drawing board and come up with a budget that brings good news to the poor.

Around 300 religious activists have vowed to kneel in prayer this morning at the Cannon House Office Building and remain there until they are arrested. Wallis said that as they are led off, they will chant a phrase from Isaiah: Woe to you legislators of infamous laws . . . who refuse justice to the unfortunate, who cheat the poor among my people of their rights, who make widows their prey and rob the orphan.

To GOP leaders and their supporters in the Christian community, it is not that simple. Acting House Majority Leader Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said yesterday that the activists' position is not intellectually right.

The right tax policy, such as keeping tax rates low on business investment, grows the economy, increases federal revenue -- and increased federal revenue makes it easier for us to pursue policies that we all can agree have social benefit, he said.

Dobson also has praised what he calls pro-family tax cuts. And Janice Crouse, a senior fellow at the Christian group Concerned Women for America, said religious conservatives know that the government is not really capable of love.

You look to the government for justice, and you look to the church and individuals for mercy. I think Hurricane Katrina is a good example of that. FEMA just failed, and the church and the Salvation Army and corporations stepped in and met the need, she said.

Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, said the government's role should be to encourage charitable giving, perhaps through tax cuts.

There is a [biblical] mandate to take care of the poor. There is no dispute of that fact, he said. But it does not say government should do it. That's a shifting of responsibility.

The Family Research Council is involved in efforts to stop the bloodshed in the Darfur region of Sudan as well as sex trafficking and slavery abroad. But Perkins said those issues are far different from the budget cuts now under protest. The difference there is enforcing laws to keep people from being enslaved, to be sold as sex slaves, he said. We're talking here about massive welfare programs.

The Rev. Richard Cizik, a vice president of the National Association of Evangelicals, returned yesterday from the Montreal conference on global climate change, another issue of interest to evangelicals. Frankly, I don't hear a lot of conversation among evangelicals about budget cuts in anti-poverty programs, he said. What I hear our people asking is, why are we spending $231 million on a bridge to nowhere in Alaska and can't find $50 million for African Union forces to stop genocide in Darfur?

As far as your imagined knowledge of where I get my information, I refer you back to your very own post above: 

You infer that you know how and where I get my information.  If you're so freaking clairvoyant then what are you doing here?  The elitism just oozes from you.

You made a fine point in your other post:  Those in glass houses best not throw stones.

Do you practice what you preach?

I don't know if you took the time to actually read the article I posted.  Nowhere in my post did I negatively pass judgment on you, as you have me.  Everywhere in my post, I discussed how and why I feel the way I do and I stuck to the issues. 

What made me suspicious that the White House was behind the Israeli-Lebanon war was simply the sense of deja vu all over again, as if I were viewing the summer rerun of the Iraqi war because it was all carried out Bush style: 

1.  The use of shock and awe.

2.  The feeling that the Israelis could easily win against Hezbollah when in fact Israeli troops also encountered fierce resistance from Hezbollah guerrillas, who took a page from the Iraqi insurgents by using explosive booby traps and ambushes to inflict heavier than expected casualties on the Israelis. 

3.  Not enough troops deployed.

4.  Reservists complaining of not being supplied with enough body armor.

5.  Other soldiers found equipment to be either inferior or inappropriate for battlefield conditions.

6.  And once again, animals proved they are smarter than humans: One Israeli plan to use llamas to deliver supplies in the rugged terrain of south Lebanon turned into an embarrassment when the animals simply sat down.

The only element that was missing was the mythical claim that they would be greeted as liberators but who knows?  Maybe all those roses just couldn't be delivered because the roads in Lebanon had been destroyed.

I totally agree that there are radical Muslims who want to kill us.  What I totally disagree with is Bush's belief that everything can be solved with bombs.  The United States is quickly becoming the most hated country in the world because of Bush's total lack of diplomacy, and I'm afraid that he is only provoking more terror attacks as a result. 

The world doesn't like to be bullied by a country with a president that clearly wants to dominate the world.  Ask the Soviet Union.  Whoops.  Sorry.  The Soviet Union doesn't exist any more, do they?  At least for the time being.  I personally predict that even though Bush claims to know Putin's heart, we're soon going to discover that you can't take the KGB out of the Russian, and maybe, just maybe they're finding pure greedy capitalism isn't all it's hyped up to be.  I believe Putin is going to prove to be a very dangerous and painful thorn in America's side, only proving once again that Bush's judgment is very poor.

I'd be glad to debate you further, but if you're going to continue to make it personal, pretending to know who I am, what I feel and where I get my news, then I'm not interested in communicating with you any further and once again refer you to your very own quote to another poster:  You infer that you know how and where I get my information.  If you're so freaking clairvoyant then what are you doing here?  The elitism just oozes from you.

March 31.

It may seem that those who believe abortion is wrong are in
a minority. It may seem like we have no voice and it's
shameful to even bring it up. Let us show our President and
the world that the voices of those of us who do not believe
abortion is acceptable are not silent and must be heard.

The Red Envelope project. 

On March 31, red envelopes are being mailed to protest Obama's agenda of unfettered worldwide abortions at taxpayer expense.  The envelopes will be empty. 

Get a red envelope. You can buy them at Kinkos, or at party
supply stores. Or you can visit the Red Envelope Project for a source that you can order on line for $10.95 per 100. 

On the front, address it to

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , D.C. 20500

On the back, write the following message.

This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception.

The envelopes are to be mailed on March 31, 2009.

Forward this event to every one of your friends who you think would send one, too.  Share this ministry with your church.  Bundle the envelopes in 5s or 10s and ask that the front be personally handwritten to Obama and ask that your church members take 5, 10, or however many they wish and apply the postage to each one so that no one is burdened unduly with the expense of the postage .  To save time, print up labels for the message to be applied to the back of the envelope and place them on the envelopes before handing out.  Be sure to supply with the bundle President Obama's mailing address to personally be handwritten.

All details of this worthy grassroots effort can be found at www.redenvelopeproject.org.  Just click to see how many have signed up!! 

This is an issue that reaches beyong partisan politics.  This is an issue of life.  I don't care whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, whether you voted for or against Obama.  This is an issue of life.  It is no longer about choice.  It is an issue of global wholesale slaughter of innocent life.  It is within my pay grade to protest, and I hope yours, too.

Of course, I am getting it from an international media source.  Anyone seen this on TV?

Be careful of your constitutional rights - they are rapidly disappearing.

Check out this Canadian news article on this pitiful event  -- this might answer your question about why no other news stations were giving this much air time -- NOT NEWSWORTHY!!  Not even 10s of thousands, much less a million!!  Where did you get your statistics?  Is that what you heard on TRIX news?

the scenes of the candidate that has been romanced by the mainstream media for so long.  Very insightful.  Thanks for posting.

BTW:  Any bashers out there, flame away, but I won't respond.  You guys are despicable lately.  All you want to do is snuff out those not on your bandwagon, and I ain't getting into it with you because I have better things to do with my time.  I was pretty interested in your guy too, at first, but the more I learn about him and his policies, as well as who he is as a person, the more educated of a voter I am to know that he is not the right candidate to lead this country.  Try watching this video - it just might make you think twice.  And, no, I am not into FEAR tactics, just FACTS. 

As an American, I wish all of my fellow American MTs a great day!

There was a video of the reporter asking the people and that was the answers they gave. I can't remember the station, but I don't think it was Fox.

pretty clearly showed MO initiating the contact, and QE slightly shying back, before stopping. 

There is an endearing story told about Queen Elizabeth.  A dinner guest unfamiliar with the custom mistook his finger bowl for soup, picked up a spoon and started to eat it.  QE, also picked up her spoon and began to eat hers. 

Moral:  It wasn't really soup.  The guy was still an oaf.  The queen was simply being gracious.

or don't if you want to keep spreading lies. Now he's trying to blame his own words on saying he was using liberal lingo.
