The Lebanese “deserve to have their voices heard, Americans don't

On Monday U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton accused Hezbollah of hijacking Lebanon’s democracy.


The Lebanese “deserve to have their democracy respected and their voices heard, and not have one element of their society using the threat of force and the potential of violence to try to achieve political ends,” Helary said...

 The Americans don't deserve

Clinton expressed support for protesters in Iran, saying they "deserve the same rights as they saw being played out in Egypt".

The Americans don't.... This is America

US Army veteran and former CIA analyst was thrown out and arrested at George Washington University in Washington DC for protesting a speech given by Hillary Clinton on internet freedom. 
Who are you?

The activist, 71-year-old Ray McGovern, was manhandled and removed by security officers after trying to draw attention with a poster, he said in an interview with Press TV. 

The US secretary of state continued with her prepared remarks as McGovern was dragged away saying, "So this is America. This is America. Who are you?”
“There was no heckler. I was the person there. I said not a word. I stood silently with my back to the secretary, lest she get the idea that everyone in that whole auditorium agreed with her war mongering policies,” he stated on Press TV. 

“I was standing silently, and I was jumped on by a man in a regular suit and then another person in a police uniform. I still don't know who jumped me, but I was taken outside where nobody was watching,” he continued.

“For Hillary Clinton to be talking about peaceful means of protest in the same speech which she continued as she watched me directly in front of her being pounced upon and violated, is a little too much to take,” he added.

McGovern is now being charged with unruly conduct, although he says he will fight the accusations in court.

Veterans for Peace has demanded an apology from Clinton for the incident. So far, they have received no response.
