Holding this guy up as some sort of savior for free speech is nothing more than the misguided, hyper-emotional claptrap I expect from DU these days. The guy actually had no regard for the free speech of others, he was disruptive and belligerent, and he himself participated in escalating the confrontation. I'm very skeptical about the use of a taser here but frankly don't have much sympathy for someone who had no interest in answers or actual discussion anyway. Clearly he wanted a platform, and guess what, that's called a protest. If it's a protest, he should accept the consequences, as many fine, courageous people have done so knowingly and honestly before. But lauding this situation as a "free speech" issue is just ridiculous.

And I'm not even gonna start on the infantile Kerry bashing going on in DU today. This place is really sick some days.
