At Kerry's speech last night, one of Y!A's conspiracy theorist types got on a roll and...
Officials at the university in Gainesville said Meyer had used up his allotted time for speaking.
Meyer asked Kerry about impeaching US President George W. Bush and whether he and Bush had been members of the secret "Skulls and Bones" society when they studied at Yale University.

I forgot to add the part where he begged the police not to tazer him...I don't think they honored the request, and he got to spend the night in jail.

Yeah, it was Kerry. And rather than address this kook's points and concerns, Kerry joked about it. Kerry the protester dismissed his doppelganger with some pathetic humor. Kerry certainly didn't come to this guy's aid. He certainly didn't ask the police to let him speak, which was within his power to do. He allowed the police to tazer the kook and drag him out.
Yeah, he was a kook, but Kerry's still a hypocrite. What was he saying that wasn't just as whacked out as what Kerry's been saying his whole life? Answer: Nothing.
I believe we'll find this to be Kerry's 'Macaca Moment'.

If the speech was in Gainesville, I doubt any of Kerry's constituents were present. I think Kerry is from MASS, and that means only people who vote in MASS are his constituents.
That does seem to be how politicians answer tough questions, though, even though I question the validity of the skull and bones question.

Kinda like when W, the Secret Service, the police and the National Guard force all demonstrators away from any place that W might get a visual on them. So if you want to talk about restriction of our First Amendment rights, look first at W for the textbook example of how to deny them in the press, in the broadcast media, in actual demonstrations, or even his so called 'town hall' meetings ( what a joke ).

This is how everyone handles the mentally ill activists that cause a disturbance.
I don't know about you, but if I had 4 cops kneeling on my back to arrest me, I would not be fighting back until my day in court. At least in this country you have to comfort to know that you WILL get your day in court.
Those activist types just don't understand how pathetic they look when they try to "beat the system" by going hysterical.

Actually, Kerry was quoted as saying "let the man speak, it is a very important question. "
Everyone beggs not to be shot with a tazer. BUT THEY STILL RESIST ARREST. Go figure.
Look up free speech zones.

No, i purely provide a thumbs- as much as the solutions that i've got self belief answer the questions or i like frequently. i provide a thumbs- right down to the solutions that are rude, way off the subject count, or are beside the point.

This happens at Republican speeches as well!
Alex Jones has been arrested for asking George Bush about Skull & Bones too!
This is an attack on freedom of speech! It is being done by BOTH parties!

You didn't mention that the guy was asked for his ID. He did not produce one and with all the fear over terrorism the cops wanted to be safe rather than sorry and put the tazer on him. I guess the right's scare tactics have been somewhat effective.

a bit slow today troll? i asked about this about 6 hours ago.
i didn't know the University of Florida campus cops were directly under the command of Kerry, the democrats, etc.
i think a couple of the Florida cop/thugs just didn't like what he was saying about Bush, so they decided to do a little venting on him. i hope they lose their jobs and get sued. it will serve them right.

Yeah he got on a roll. Rolled on the floor when he got shocked. I thought it was funny. He should have gone quietly instead of trying to get famous on TV. They should have beat his stupid @ss off.
