Iraq War veteran Adam Kokesh brings a bit of truth to the Republican National Convention: "MCCAIN VOTES AGAINST VETS"

Republicans try to drown out a BANNER with chants of 'U.S.A.'

3. Let's be realistic
Free speech isn't really a right at private events. If it were, then we wouldn't have a right to banish disruptors here, would we?

4. I don't really care how "private" that event was,
You just don't shout down a war veteran that fought for this country
while referring to him a "ground noise" or "static"!!!!

The Vietnamese should have hung his ass from a tree! And they probably
would have if he didn't turn on his fellow soldiers like the chicken-shit
that he is!!

Fucking traitor!

5. So what you're saying...
is that if he were a right-winger at Invesco interrupting Obama to advocate invading Iran, you don't think that others in attendance should shout him down, or escort him out?

Maybe I'm just an idealist, but I think this sort of thing is silly regardless of what their political affiliation is.

7. No, actually, I don't
I think everyone has a right to free speech, even nutcases. Also, Adam Kokesh was not advocating murder, whas he?

I can't call McCain a traitor for breaking under torture (assuming he was tortured). Anyone of us would do the same. He is a traitor for supporting this administration and its unconstitutional policies.
