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.
That was it.
McGovern, a veteran Army officer who also worked as a C.I.A. analyst for 27 years, was wearing Veterans for Peace t-shirt.
Blind-sided by security officers who pounced upon him, McGovern remarked, as he was hauled out the door, "So this is America?"
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.

It pains me to write this. Not just because a fine American was brutalized by clinton’s thugs, but because it is almost painful to think abut this evil beast, let alone write about her. May this be the last time she is uttered on this blog. While she is lecturing the world on allowing citizens free speech she has someone brutalized who isn’t even talking. She didn’t order it you say? If she was an American, she would have protested about an individual being hauled away for simply standing with his back to her. What arrogance.
If you don’t agree she is evil, you simply don’t know as much or any of what I know about her. Sociopath communist extraordinaire.
I pray the bitch has given up on the White House.
This is disgusting and sickening. I can't stand this evil witch either, even BEFORE I read about this.
ReplyDeleteTalk about hyprocrascy! This is beyond comprehension. I hope this brave man sues her and those bruts that hauled him off for doing nothing.
Our beloved America is looking more like a fascist hellhole every day. God Help us, Kid.
;-) I'm with you Bunni. I actually apologize for bringing this bitch into your life today. But I had to do it.
ReplyDeleteThere are too many people who would actually put this beast in the freakin White House. I'm telling you right here. I'll take obama over this thing.
Campaigning for the 08 elections, we saw her pathological lying in prime time, morning noon and night, 3 times go into great detail about how she and Chelsea (divorced already) flew into sniper fire, then CBS (part of the MFM!) can't stand it anymore and put out the video of her and Chelsea calmly walking down the flight stairs to the tarmac and talking with the folks with nothing going on.
Multiply this lying times 1000, read Dick Morris, he worked for the clintons for years. Research her quotes. She is one rude tool and less interested in America than obama is.
can't stand any of the evil - military loathing lib-tards-including bho!
ReplyDeleteI do get a bit heated when it comes to our BEST being treated shamefully-
How about the wounded warrior jeered at Columbia U..

The more I see the more convinced I am the Republic is doomed.
ReplyDeleteI saw this too..sickening aint it..sigh...
ReplyDeleteCarol-CS, they're called hate filled lefties for a reason. Plus, they just go off on marching orders like a mob of robots. That's what is dangerous.
ReplyDeleteCan't reason with 3 year olds.
Admiral, I'm not sticking the fork in until we see what happens in 2012.
ReplyDeleteWoman, the best part is I don't believe for a second that she saw the irony of lecturing dictators about mis-treating citizens while an American was being hauled off by her thug force.
ReplyDeleteFor doing nothing. The man didn't even speak.
