A well written and executed script.

He is a journalism student.

He is not a moron.

He asked a question so charged that the news media cannot repeat it.

It is on the web but the news media cannot repeat it.

This makes the news media look bad.

He knew that Kerry would not answer the question - he cannot answer the question.

He should have known what the cops reaction would be - maybe he is naive, but I suspect that all those who have been in high school know what happens when you ask a question that should not be asked. A student was tazed last year for asking a question so this isn't something new.

He called attention to what was happening and raised his hands to show that he was not a threat - smart move.

He took the spolight qaway from Kerry - for good.

He did exactly what would motivate a stupid thug to attack hard and heavy - he asked them not to do it from a position of weakness and submission - like taking candy from a baby - so they tased him.

notice the professional camera getting it all up close in the back of the hall - HOW CONVENIENT!

Anyone notice the taser laser pointing at his chest and stomach at the beginning of the confrontation. First thing you do after someone asks a question is to point a WEAPON at them.

Now this is a journalism student.

Well played!

He looks like he will be able to get a job in the field of journalism - he is famous.

Kerry looks like worthless Kerry, even more so.

The police look like stupid nazi sadistic thugs.

Students are outraged.

Decent people are outraged.

It looks like he can sue the police and the school and probably make enough money where he will not have to work, but more likely will use the money to make his own company.

Now the idea that john Kerry threw the election to help the guy he sponsored in the Skull and Bones Pirate Club and spend some intimate time in a coffin with as part of the initiation rite is a question and issue that has been raised despite the media's attempt to bury this sordid fact.

A well written and executed script.

Free speech? Not in this country!

How the rest of the world must be laughing!

RE SMUG CHRISTIAN

Please get your facts right - there is plenty of evidence from Jewish and Roman historians of the time that a man called Jesus existed and went around with followers. Does it prove he was the Son of God? No. But critics of religion who've actually done some research don't contest that he lived.

Josephus is regarded as a forgery and nothing was written down until long after his death and if you read the sum of that and believe it, i have some WMD in Iraq to sell you. If you read the gnostic gospels, the Nag Hammadi, you can get the sense that we are talking metaphor and programming and MAGIC, not history or historical fact. The only reason that Christianity "survived" and thrived is because Constantine thought it was a good way to control people once the slaves religion was perverted enough.

I wish it was true. I was brought up sothern baptist, however, V.A.L.I.S. set me straight.

Alien parasites that take possesion of your body and mind and then exit and take over someone else when you die makes a lot more sense. The alien parasite, however, is a program, not a trill or whatever the Stargate mythos calls it.

Then again, maybe the whole thing IS caused by brain flukes.

BTW - the burning bush and the keys to the kingdom are cannabis and the land of cana, well, can you figure that one out?

Brain flukes or drugs? Pick your own myth.

RE: the Oregonquin

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are also made up religions but Buddhism is the real deal because nothing is real.

Mormons get along with everybody as far as i can tell. They are nice friendly folks and you can even engage in religious conversation with them that would cause fist fights and weapons being drawn amongst others.

Getting along with others is important with others is an important survival skill..
