Posting this because this is the first I've seen Ray McGovern tell what happened.

that when Ray is first accosted, a feint smile appears and then she turns her head away while he's being dragged out....

I'm waiting to see the Republicrats piss all over Mr. McGovern. How dare he mar the sanctimonious horse shit that Hillary was blubbering!?

Hi there Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Works!

4. Hillary's hollow words.
I will never listen to another one of her speeches again - I am too old to waste time on such hypocrisy. I will never vote for her for anything.

This is sickening.

5. Wasn't she making a speech
about freedom of expression and free speech? I love it how they accuse Iran of being hypocrites when they suppress dissent with force but here you can see how they reacted to a simple silent protest. God know what would happen if people actually tried to topple the US govt.

They are all crooks and liars

6. Cheers to Ray McGovern. Standing up to the hypocrisy of our administration.
Anyone who thinks anyone in our admin is on our side is deluded. They are all about protecting the ptb, the corporations and keeping themselves in a good place for the rest of their lives. Even at the expense of the lives of the people of what is supposed to be a democratic country. Too bad most of us are too complacent to stand up to them.

Democratic Party isn't what it used to be. Just because someone is a Dem doesn't mean they are on the people's side. There is a serious class war going on and until people of both parties get it and stop fighting amongst themselves nothing will change.

7. Ironically, what Clinton is denouncing in Iran, she supports in Honduras...
Clinton spoke out against government oppression of people voicing their opinions, taking down free media and beating up protesters in Bahrain and Iran. All that has been going on in Honduras since the june 2009 coup d'etat in Honduras, but Clinton has been stressing the "return of democracy" in Honduras ever since Pepe Lobo took office after faux 'elections' Iranian-style.

It's also ironic that just this same week Obama rewarded George H.W. Bush, the oppressor of freedom and democracy in all of Latin-America in the 1980's, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
