No, I watched the entire speech. I don't like Kennedy anymore than you do. And yes I saw how displeased he was. But shaking your head in disagreement is completely different than giving someone the middle finger or insulting someone with a hand gesture, which clearly was not the same as what he was doing with his fist.
Since you are making comments without getting all the facts, your viewpoint lacks veracity because it is not fully informed.

If you can't see that, even after looking at the still photos, then I don;t know what to tell you.
