"LOL, you wish."

I don't "wish". I'm simply stating what I saw in the video. He seemed off balanced by the remarks. He was stammering and flustered. Just my take. While I'm sure he was thinking "Who let this idiot in here", he could have handled the situation with more panache.

Ray McGovern founded a group called "Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity". Good group to keep our eyes on. The guy is a conspiratorial nutbag who couldn't think his way out of a paper bag. Unfortunately, I think we'll be hearing a lot more from these folks.

He was already a has-been by the time the attacks occurred. He wouldn't have known anything beyond the horrible fantasies in his head.

Rumsfeld Protester Injured, Gives Insider Account
By Matthew Cardinale, Editor and National Correspondent, Atlanta Progressive News (May 04, 2006)

(APN) ATLANTA – Protester Gloria Tatum, 62, was injured at a protest against Donald Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defense, today, from when she was shouting at Rumsfeld, and has a bruise on her back, Tatum says. The notorious local activist gave her first hand account of the heckling of Rummy to Atlanta Progressive News.

“I had a bruise and I thought someone hit at me from me from behind. When I look at the tape, the woman was pulling me down, but I don’t know if she was in the crowd or with security. At the time, it felt I had been hit from behind and I do have a bruise on my body. It sure felt like someone hit me. Someone said that they saw a woman hitting me, I think Wendy said that. Maybe I just got injured being drug out,” of the auditorium, she said.

I encorage you to read the whole speil (atlanta progressive news) HMMM


She says:
“Hopefully, what comes out of this, the media starts talking about, well, what about the prewar intelligence? Are they saying the prewar intelligence wasn’t credible? I hope that’s where the debate starts going,” Tatum said.

OK lets send her ALL the demo-rats take on Iraq in the 90's and early 2000's's.

Boy I think they (RATS) were the biggest rattlers in that time.......
