"It is the ultimate definition of lip service that Secretary of State Clinton would be trumpeting the U.S. government's supposed concerns for free speech rights and this man would be simultaneously brutalized and arrested for engaging in a peaceful act of dissent at her speech," stated attorney Mara Verheyden-Hilliard of the PCJF.http://www.commondreams.org/further/2011/02/16-3
Okay, I admit it. Ray's performance was more spectacular than when I did the same thing (no Vets for Peace shirt however) with my husband and another guy at UW commencement when Madeleine Albright was given an honorary doctorate there, after her frank assessment that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children was "worth it" for the U.S. to enforce its sanctions on Sadam Hussein. People didn't try to citizens arrest us or anything. I'm sure we had signs but cell phones didn't have cameras then. I'm sure she couldn't see us as we were in the bleachers. Made us feel better though, and the leafletting beforehand also. Linda
UPDATE:
Getting more and more adept, Hillary revels in her quick and fork-ed tongue (Iran shooting demonstrators bad; Bahrain, okey-doke with her & the 5th Fleet, who parks there)
