Live with it. The stifling of criticism or the application of double standards????? Never mind. You must have meant both. BTW, this topic has reminded me of the following from Evan Coyne Maloney at Brain Terminal..... Hello, I posted an extended video covering the Rutgers event. The video, taken from my camera, shows in great detail what happened when the protesters tried to stop me from filming. You can see the camera get hit with signs, and you can hear the crowd react when one protester tries to knock me down. If strong language upsets you, prepare to cover your ears when you hear me confront that protester. When the physical bullying didn't work, another protester came up behind me and made veiled threats. The microphone picked up most of it, and the look on the guy's face when I turned the camera around was priceless. Frustrated that they were unable to shut me down, the speakers at the rally launched a variety of insults and bizarre accusations against me. The result is both comedic and frightening. If you laughed out loud during the first Protesting the Protesters video, you may find yourself yelling at your screen during this one: brain-terminal.com (Currently, it is available only in QuickTime. RealPlayer and Windows Media formats should be posted this week.) Whether or not you find this video enjoyable, you will certainly find it illuminating. All the best, Evan NOTE: I have not yet seen or gotten permission from other news outlets to use the video they shot that day. However, if I do get permission and the video shows what happened when the protesters surrounded me, I will release a follow-up report. I didn't want to delay this video any further while I waited for that permission. CLARIFICATION: Some people are confused about the origin of the "Blocking Cameras" video I posted last week from the Rutgers rally. That 23-second video was shot on a digital camera by Tim Sanders who--along with Alexis Zoberg--helped me that day. The person seen with the camera avoiding that one protester is me.
