Protesters rally against U.S. Congressman (Tom Delay)

[Rose Siding]

Signs proclaiming "Dump DeLay" and "Exterminate DeLay" showed the theme for some who gathered at the University of Houston Clear Lake to protest House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's presence on campus

While trying to be heard over cries of protest, DeLay spoke at the UH-CL alumni reception held Tuesday at 6 p.m.
As DeLay entered the building before the reception began, he waved and smiled to about 100 protesters who chanted, "No way Tom DeLay."
...
"You are a crook, you dirty schnook," sang Elizabeth Nash and Chris Landry during DeLay's speech to alumni.

Nash, Landry and other protesters crowded at the top of the balcony overlooking the alumni reception to object to DeLay's presence at the UH-CL campus.

DeLay simply said, "Well, we still have free speech."

A poster in the campaign forum wrote that *many* invitations to Delay's event had gone out and few showed up- maybe 50 actual supporters outside of university employees.

2. "Still" as in for now, until can do something about it?

Or Still as in forever? Kinda strange use of language - versus "Well, we DO have Free Speech" Interesting, maybe a little scary.

6. Delay's complete quote was probably, "Well, we still have free speech..."

"...which means that it's time for Patriot Act III."
