A funny thing happened Tuesday during Hillary Clinton's speech at George Washington University about how the Egyptian government was shutting down opposition on the Internet during the protests in that country. A silent protester, who was standing with his back turned to her, was given the bum's rush by campus police.
How dare the man turn his back on Hillary Clinton!
Hillary, for her part, took it all in stride like the gracious majesty that she is. She never blinked an eyelid and never stopped talking oblivious to the irony of it all. It is reported that the man suffered injuries.
Here's the video of the protester being dragged off (GW Hatchet, an independent school paper).

Here's what the official GW campus paper, GW Today) "reported" on the incident.

Protester? What protester?
On a serious note, the question begs; should the man have been dragged out of the hall? He said nothing. I suppose if he was blocking the view of those in the back trying to catch a glimpse of Hillary's famous legs, that he was interfering with their rights. In that case, perhaps, he could have been asked to make sure he was in the absolute back row in the aisle. But then, alas, he would be blocking an escape route in the case of a fire, would he not?
Maybe we conservatives can rally to his defense, much like the folks in California have rallied to the defense of the "Irvine 11". The "GW One". Kinda has a nice ring to it, don't ya think? At least nobody can accuse the GWU Campus Police of being potted plants.
Ain't Internet freedom grand, Hillary?
Now some have said that I have a wild imagination and although I've denied such a claim to fame in the past let me make it known that sometimes the wild thing in me creeps out...
ReplyDeleteRemember the movie "Shawshank Redemption" well keep that aside for the moment.
Two deaths occured not that long ago, John Murtha and Ted Kennedy, and I was deeply saddened by the untimeliness of those events...I would have been much happier to see those two gentlemen live to the ripe old age of 100 while they were pounding rock in some glass enclosed prison so all could see 'men-at-work'.
Now for Hillary... Remember how the guy escaped from the prison in the movie...that's right, through the sewer pipe...500 yards of stinking sewer pipe. My wild imagination can see Hillary crawling knee deep in crap in a plexiglass endless pipe that circles Times Square...she too should do this until she's old and gray...

Those few mentioned above and a few more....namely Pelosi, Reid, and the Obama and maybe a Schumer or two thrown in for good measure.
