FYI, (*) means there is no comment to read.  This way you don't have to click on my comments if there is nothing to read.

We're figting freedom of speech over here, so we don't have to fight it over there (Iraq).

kidding

when you explain a joke, you fuck it up.   Like asking a girl to kiss her.

you'd be cheering for somebody else to go shoot somebody and pay my taxes.

Muslims, mexicans and martians invading my country with their fucking oil, mowing my goddamn lawn, and I still have to pay for blowjobs.   2 fucking thousand years I have to wait for a second cumming.

"At about 1 p.m., Kerry was nearing the end of a forum at University Auditorium, a large facility beside UF's trademark Century Tower. At that point, audience members were allowed to ask questions at a microphone, university spokesman Steve Orlando said.

The person in front of Meyer was told he would be the last person to speak, Orlando said. Meyer said he was upset with that, so Kerry gave him the OK.

When he took the mike, Meyer then asked Kerry several questions. On amateur video linked from Meyer's website, his questions included why Kerry conceded in the 2004 presidential election, why not impeach President George W. Bush now, and whether Kerry was a member of the Skull and Bones secret society at Yale University.

When reminded that he was only supposed to ask one question, Meyer responded in the video ``He's talked for two hours. I think I can have two minutes.''

Members of the student group sponsoring the event summoned UF police to escort Meyer out, according to a police statement. At first, students can be heard cheering as he is asked to leave.

But Meyer refused to leave, police said.

When officers tried escorting him, he resisted, and officers only partially got handcuffs on him, according to police.

By then, officers had moved Meyer to the back of the auditorium, where he was on the floor, Orlando said. Officers told him to stop resisting, and when he still refused, they used the stun gun, Orlando said. On the video, he can be heard screaming at that point.

Meyer was then put back on hisfeet and taken out of the auditorium, he said.

At one point in one of the videos, Meyer says, ''Why am I under arrest?'' and ``They're going to try and kill me.''

The guy was TRYING to get into trouble.

did the EXACT same thing... and was "Beaten up!"  lol  Democrats... they love to beat folks up! one at a time

kevin... what's the frequency... and this guy has the balls to sue CBS?!   just remember - he is a graduate of SAM HOUSTON STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE in HUNTSVILLE TX!

First, the picture of Rather with Castro. I'll counter that one with the infamous picture of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein - AFTER the 1st Gulf War.

Then there's this:

13 Aug 1996 "Rummy [ Donald Rumsfeld ] used to get even with guys in the White House by leaking stuff to [Dan] Rather that didn't have any basis in fact." Tom Brokaw, taped from a satellite transmission that he did not know was being broadcast.

Gee, I wonder how that stuff about Bush and the Alabama National Guard came out....?

You have your facts wrong.  Kerry wasn't hosting anything and it wasn't a forum. It was a speech by Kerry and was hosted by the student-run speaker's bureau at the University of Florida.


The guy was very apparently there to showboat and make a scene. Perhaps nobody moved to stop it because everybody in the place was fed up with the guy? Is that a good hypothesis? It just shows it when the police are ready to grab him, it looks to me like they spent some time gathering into place, and hinting at the guy that he was about to be given the hook.  What happened to lead up to it, I'd like to see?  That book his flourishing puts what he's saying on the same tone as a crazed exorcist.  

Really, if you look at any resisted arrest or ejection from anywhere, I don't think it would look any prettier.  Don't judge it by that.

asking a question about a secret organization - to which 2 presidential candidates belong?  I've no problem with that question....   much as I have no problem with any question which concerns what will influence decisions, policy and political philosophy of those in power.

but then again,  I did not see the full event... so if a threatening manner, the question might be seen as "dangerous..."  and then again, notice it is a dem who uses tazers to stop speech.

He didn't order the tazers...i'm sure some crazy right wing PD officers just wanted to see if they could beat a kid up.

15 minutes, and Kerry doesn't sign the security guys' checks.

I say we wait to see what the judge says.  Mostly because he's gonna spend one hell of a lot more time listening than any of us will.
