1st amendment out the window?..

[Carlos]

Manchester, NH - Freelance reporter Matt Lepacek, reporting for Infowars.com, was arrested for asking a question to one of Giuliani's staff members in a press conference. The press secretary identified the New York based reporter as having previously asked Giuliani about his prior knowledge of WTC building collapses and ordered New Hampshire state police to arrest him.

What he so scared of? The reporter is obviously crazy for asking about how Gulliani knew the towers were gonna come down - surely there's nothing news worthy about that :rolleyes:

[yeahwho]

Embedded and insulated reporting, access only to the more visible media outlets, controlled political rallies and a total disregard for intellectual discourse. His campaign has taken a page out right GWB's campaign book.

Of all the bizarre people running on the 2008 presidential ticket, Rudy is truly one of the most bizarre. His qualifications are what? Ron Paul is eating his lunch.

Ol' Hitler on the Hudson has a penchant for heavy police states and wearing womens clothing, how well that plays in Peoria is yet to be seen.

[yeahwho]

Is this the same Matt Lepacek (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/6/members/4226677/)as the one kicked out of the Giuliani rally? Because if it is, this seems a little more than just some innocent reporter trying to get answers, seeing how he's a major supporter for Republican Ron Paul.

Fucking Republicans can never be open-minded. What a load.

You fucking had me going for a bit there Carlos. Looks like Ron Paul's supporters have taken a page out of GWB's book too.

oh.. didn't know the 1st amendment only applied to people who don't support anyone...

it's not WHO he (if he does, i have no idea) supports that got him arrested and intimidated by the pigs; it's the question, and that he had all the credentials and had every right to be there and ask a question. Are you really saying that candidates should have the right to arrest people that ask them tough questions??!!!

.....oh and you really think there is any difference between your 2 parties - you must have had a sheltered upbringing ;).


p.s He is not a supporter of Ron Paul because he is a republican, it is because he is 1 of the only candidates (Kucinic is the other) that is courageous enough to show interest and engage with 911 truth activists, that takes their reseach in a adult way for his considration. In exatly the same manner as these are the only 2 candidates that are talking about Iraq with any sincerity: both voted against the war orriginally. In other words, they aren't slaves to the military industrial complex, like most of em.
I'm sure ron PAul isn't america's saviour, but at least he is REAL, not a bullshitting machine; trying to suck every middle moron american vote he can.

[yeahwho]

Matt Lepacek can do whatever he wants to do, I was actually researching the story to see if the First Amendment was being upheld. He is planning on pressing charges for illegal arrest and having his first amendment rights denied.

He is a very involved supporter of Giuliani's opponent in the Republican primary.

He also is a 911 conspiracy follower. I'm fine with both.

He also has press credentials. Which is great.

The only element missing is any objectivity whatsoever. Which sort of makes him a hack, on an agenda to make things appear all fucked up with Giuliani. He succeeded on minuscule level.

wow

There is no transparency until it's uncloaked, this republican administration in power now has an agenda to do oil research the old fashioned way. They war for it, under the guise of terror and good 'ol fashion Christian Beliefs.

I'm not enlightened is the jest of my statement.

Plus hey, I'm from Seattle.....we rig the elections the other way (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/election2004/).
