This story should be mercifully sliding off Huffington and Andrew Meyer should be sliding off everyone's radar.

A roomful of campus forum attendees have no obligation to endure a self-promoting bad actor punk whose only purpose was to disrupt the event and capture it on video.

It doesn't matter who the forum guest was.

Today-Hydenorhare- as we both type on this medium....on the campus at Yale University in New Haven, CT. and in CA at their other "clubhouse"...the Skull & Bones is vetting the new freshman class for their "legacies" and other prospects to shape their futures.

Bonesmen are usually members of every international association of elites and powerbrokers on planet Earth. They are presidents and prime ministers, senators and lower house legislators. They are international corporate elites who accept appointive offices in federal administrations in order to mold the agenda for their own. Betrayal of the order never happens. They have sworn an oath and are aware that they signed their own birth and death documents at that time.

In a sophisticated world where death can occur instantaneously and without a trace of conspiracy and murder, betrayal has never occurred.

"You will take my question because I have been listening to your crap for two hours," Meyer told Kerry, according to the police report of the incident.

He then turned to a woman and said "Are you taping this? Do you have this? You ready?" the report said.

Clarissa Jessup, who contributed I-Report video of the incident to CNN, said Meyer gave her his camera and asked her to shoot video of him posing his questions to Kerry.

No he just wanted a record of his part of the event. He did not know he would become the firestorm of police brutality?

ONCE UPON A TIME, there were crazy people who believed in conspiracies like the real purposes for Skull & Bones, Bildeberger, Bohemian Grove and many other international cabal reunions.

Thank God that the Media and all THE GOOD PEOPLE told the people that all these conspiracies were lies and absolutely preposterous. The GOOD PEOPLE are in a FREE AND DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and that these evil and crazy TERRORISTIC PROTESTORS NEEDED SOME "RE-EDUCATION COUNSELING" AFTER THEY ARE DETAINED FOR A FEW YEARS INCOGNITO.

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER......

What happened to Mr. Meyer is just a symptom of the political disease there is in Washington.

Please watch the following clip with Bill Moyers.

i'm a life-long liberal. i vote democratic. my parents were also democrats. i hate what is happening to this country under the bush regime. we may never recover from the damage done.

i am also a "from day one" reader and blogger here at huffpost.

however, after learning of the story from UF and then reading and viewing all the available clips on net - AND also reading what only can be classified as mounting "net" hysteria here at huffpost - i think i have to reevaulate exactly who i am aligned with. certainly i will never align myself with anything such as bushco, but i now question those whom i claim are on "my side."

good god - the hysterical - and i don't mean funny - comments posted under this one story are actually rather frightening. it has spun itself off into its own whirling dervish, creating conspiracy where none exists. it helps that i actually know UF and gainesville and how 'accent' works - it helps because when i read some of the comments here and listen to TV and radio, i am able to bring history and insight into a current event.

and i've certainly had my eyes opened. it makes me question things i've gotten heated up about that were reported in the news and then blogged here at huffpost and other sites.

and i, for one, am going to reevaluate how worked up i am going to get about certain issues.

of all the "free speech" issues, including "free speech zones," i don't think that this faux incident at UF is the one to rally behind, since as time goes on, it is not what it initially appears to be.

NO ONE need be tasered and yes, the campus cops need more training. but i am stepping back from here on in with a more discerning eye as to what exactly to get worked up about - and frankly, this isn't one of them. to see the building hysteria in comments - all 18 pages of them - has truly been an education for me.

most of the comments posted came b/f the full story came out, thanks to the MSM and their diligence in laziness. thereafter, i think most just have a problem with this guy being subdued and being tased at the same time.

just thoughts. this topis isn't worth 19 pages of comment. I do understand where you are coming from.

Holy shit, Charity, do my eyes deceive me?

A drop of sensibility, emerging from a angry sea of madness.

Understand one thing sweety. Here on Ariana's island of misfit toys, no event can be analyzed or dicussed independently or on its own merit.

It will immediately be twisted or contorted to fit into and/or support a preconceived liberal agenda.

Gotta say its just precious and warms my heart, to see the light bulb finally come on in a misdirected huffy. There is hope.

I am glad to see that there are 19 pages of discussion about this. It defines who we are. We obviously care greatly about whether this activity was right or wrong, on the part of the young man, the police and Kerry. This is what we need more of in this country. Opinions on issues that matter.

We also need to come to some resolution we can all be comfortable with. That's why we have representative government. Our representatives are supposed to negotiate on our behalf to get reasonable compromises to serve all of us. The current administration has refused to compromise, and the formerly republican congress went along with them, refusing to do its duty to serve us by actually considering the qualifications of appointees before approving them and enabling everlasting war against the obvious wishes of the people of this once great nation, destroying conservative economic values along the way. The democrats were complicit. Democrats now have a slight majority and control the agenda, but not the votes. Compromise is required. Service to country is required. Revolution is an alternative if they don't do their jobs. We have another election coming up to remind them.

For christs sake,

Meyer is a performance artist and a professional rabble rouser.

But like always, hufftards and other lib fools get way out in front of story without knowing what the hell they are taking about, get egg all over their faces, then are forced to say never mind.

Here is towel, go clean up the tools who filled up 19 pages of drivel regarding this idiot.

Jealous?

This kid and his 15 minutes?

You may be surprised to see his 15 grow to much longer. This is a big big "watershed event" if you can't tell. Plus he is a Journalism student. If he proves to be eloquent, bright and witty, he has a long bright future.

And you?

For those that think that what happened to Mr. Meyer was right, that the use of force and a teaser was necessary. I would like you to read a bit about our American history before you start condemning him.

Mr. Meyer was right to complain and ask aggressive questions that were, or were not, relevant to our current situation in the USA and foreign policy.

It seems that Mr. Kerry forgot his past when he was protesting the Vietnam war. He has become an hypocrite. I submitted to his website a very strong worded letter indicating him that HE WORKS FOR US.

This was a liberal environment, with a liberal speaker and a liberal audience with a police force that reports to a liberal administration that tazed a liberal guy.

The former liberal Presidential candidate and super-duper Vietnam War hero stood there doing nothing.

And…somehow this is President Bush’s fault.


Priceless!!!!

w has created the environment where free speech, guaranteed by the first ammendment is under attack. Not by al-qaida, but by us.

he with his freedom zones and his vetted campaign stops, and his rifling any so-called "general on the ground", if what they say disagrees with his highness.

you sure use the word liberal a lot. this shows a bias and bigotry on your part, so no matter what I say you will disagree unless it fits in your little world.

I guess you think the world is flat as well eh ?

Last night I heard Medea Benjamin complain about Ms Clinton hiring “goons” to remove protestors and grab Code Pink signs at her campaign appearances.

Was Cheney using his mind control raygun on Medea or was she telling the truth. If she is telling the truth, your argument is as empty as your mind.

A little video :
Fast forward to 9 minutes in. A little off topic, but not so much since like this student whom was kind of an ass, this video asks and tries the answer the questions about the CIA and their initiating of Islamic fundamentalism and tries to piece together what happened on 9/11.

Just for fun folks. It's just stuff that makes you think. The MSM has moved as most Americans. But, it's interesting stuff from a historical perspective.
