You just can't make these things up. From The Sky Valley Chronicle: Could it be the U.S. government thinks peaceful, civilian protest against government is fine on the streets of Cairo, Egypt but not on U.S. soil?As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a speech at George Washington University yesterday condemning governments that arrest protestors and do not allow free expression - and lauding freedom of speech on the Internet - 71-year-old military veteran Ray McGovern was grabbed from the audience in plain view of her by police and an unidentified official in plain clothes and hustled out of the building and, according to McGovern and his supporters, was “brutalized and left bleeding in jail.” What McGovern did was simply remain standing silently in the audience and turned his back on her as Secretary Clinton began her speech.That was it. McGovern, a veteran Army officer who also worked as a C.I.A. analyst for 27 years, was wearing Veterans for Peace t-shirt. http://www.skyvalleychronicle.com/BREAKING-NEWS/VETERAN-S-GROUP-DEMANDS-APOLOGY-FROM-SEC-OF-STATE-CLINTON-BR-Claims-vet-was-manhandled-for-silent-protest-596038
Here is the video:
Does Hillary even read her speeches? She gives a speech about governments arresting protesters and then she goes out and has a older man who was a veteran arrested for standing silently and having him charged with disorderly conduct.
And please, don't come here and say she didn't order the arrest. She could have stopped the incident at any time since he was standing right in front of him and it wasn't a large crowd. She knew what was going on.
But I guess we can't accuse her of stifling speech since the man didn't say anything.
The long term ramifications for Clinton will be that this video will be shown when she campaigns for president and this will sink her candidacy.
