On Tuesday 2/15/2011, as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke on issues of free speech at George Washington University, 71-year-old former CIA analyst Ray McGovern was assaulted, dragged from the room and double handcuffed causing profuse bleeding.
What had he done to elicit this treatment? He stood in “silent witness.”
Conservatives and Tea Party supporters are admonished by the Obama administration over harsh discourse while members of his administration stand by while a silent protester is roughed up, removed and arrested.
I didn’t hear anything about this in the mainstream media. Had the speaker been Michelle Bachmann I’m thinking it would have been the lead story on Nightly News.

He shouldn’t have been there and he shouldn’t have resisted the agents. Considering how soon after the Phoenix shooting this incident occurred, the arresting agents are to be commended for their lack of restraint.
Ooops. I meant “for their restraint.”
Freudian….good goin’ Inde.
Youcall that resistance? Oh yeah, drag out the Phoenix card. You are so trite and irrelevant.
Sticks and stones Ed. You’re acting like a man who lacks true conviction.
What would you know of conviction? You stand for nothing.
If only it were that simple; chose black or white or nothing at all. The truth is life is a complex myriad of colors, not a simple black or white equation. Conviction is having the courage to be tolerant, to forgive and to love. Rumor has it your faith requires the same.
God’s plan is that simple. It is the sinfulness of man that complicates it. It is a black-or-white choice. You are either with God or against Him. The colors you speak of are the distractions of evil to turn one away from God. I accept that none of us are perfect but that God forgives us and since He does we must also forgive ourselves and others. That does not lead me to acceptance of evil, rather to work actively against it wherever I see it. If I fall short of the toleration and forgiveness of others, that is my sin at work. But we digress, Hillary was intolerant and chose to ignore his right to peacefully protest, not I or you. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the left and their sycophants.
