If Hosni Mubarak has moved this decisively, this quickly, this ruthlessly, he’d still be running the show in Egypt. Of course, ol’ Hosni was an amateur autocrat compared to our Secretary of State.
The Sky Valley Chronicle highlights Hillary’s hypocrisy:
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…
According to Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, attorney with the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, “For this peaceful expression of dissent, he ended up bruised, bloodied, arrested, and jailed. Secretary Clinton never paused, continuing her speech lecturing other countries about the need to allow freedom of expression and dissent, while Mr. McGovern was hauled out in front of her.”
McGovern was later found to have his arm covered with bruises. The metal handcuffs were fastened so tightly that his wrists were cut and some blood flowed from the cuts.
After being held by local police, McGovern was told he was being charged with disorderly conduct.
Just based on the name of McGovern’s group, the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, we assume he’s a wacko liberal, but we have to come to his defense.
How does silently turning your back on a public official qualify as disorderly conduct?
