Because she was making too much sense, had to shut her up somehow.
this is a really productive use of time
It might be because I'm not American that I do not understand, but why do they not allow that woman to ask why the crybabies want her to have that word removed? And why do they not let her finish?
Stream's off. :/
Oh wait, it's back up. No sound, though.
these morons
For anyone just tuning in: for the past 10 minutes it hasn't been the debate they've been debating. It's the woman who refuses to take back the word offensive and is now holding up the entire debate.
well i hope you all realize we're basically fucked when it comes to this bill
i mean listen to these idiots
"OH NO SOMEONE'S MAKING SENSE STOP THEM"
Our government is so much more to-the-point than these people. When someone says something some people don't like in parliament they just shout at them.

I dont see the problem with using the word when what she was talking about is offensive to that committee

She's wasting time and it is not relevant to the discussion. She is also annoying.
Sound is back.
It's back.

Times like this I wish Ted Stevens was still alive. He would lay down the law with his extensive knowledge of the internet and shut this entire country down by yelling [b]"NO!"[/b] with the force of a thousand suns.
