In
the summer of 1996 Glenn and Patricia Mendoza attended A Taste
of Chicago, in Chicago, Illinois. An event which President
Clinton was also attending. Mrs. Mendoza allegedly yelled,
"You suck! And those boys died." Referring to the
earlier incident in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, in which an explosion
was set off, probably by a terrorist, killing 19 servicemen.
Mrs. Mendoza believed Mr. Clinton was somehow at fault for
the explosion, explaining her comments. Some feel that Bill
Clinton caused or contributed to the cause of these murders,
though I'm not sure how.
At any rate, 15 minutes after Clinton departed the event,
Mrs. Mendoza was arrested for her comments. "You might
need a lawyer!" her husband Glenn shouted, then found
himself in cuffs as well.
Now,
if you feel that perhaps Mrs. Mendoza shouldn't have used
the term, "You suck!" then try this one on for size.
In 1993, William Kelly of Chicago was arrested for shouting
to Clinton asking where was the middle class tax cut. Such
intolerable uses of FREE speech got these people thrown in
jail! What happened to the laws? What happened to the First
Amendment regarding FREE SPEECH!?
It seems to me that Mr. Clinton is selective on who he has
arrested and who he doesn't because when an AIDS activist
yelled about his not doing enough for the disease, Clinton
defended the heckler citing his duty to listen to criticism.
Hummm, that's a new one for you huh? Situations such as this
tend to make me wonder what other categories Mr. Clinton is
selective on. |
