So the RP masses were out in full force today at the Huckabee Rally at U Maryland. On TV, you will not see the two gigantic RP signs at the rally, but they were there. Me and a couple friends took signs and stood a good distance behind an unnoticed CNN TV crew filming outside the rally location. Here is the conversation I had with the reporter when she asked me to come talk to them:
Me: "whats wrong?"
CNN: "move the signs"
Me: " Whats wrong? I see reporters with signs behind them all the time? We can move back if you want."
CNN: "They wont air the story with those signs in the background"
Me: "these particular signs?"
CNN: "trust me, i've done plenty of Ron Paul rallies, they wont air the story with those signs in the background."
Me: "So you admit there is an agenda?"
CNN: " No, I just want the story to air."
Me: "I dont mean you, I mean the people at the top who wont air your story"
CNN: "No, just move."
So we moved.
I would not have moved. In fact, I would tell them flat out that any attempt to physically remove me from my spot will be interpreted as an assault, in which case I will exercise my right to self-defense to the best of my capacity. I would also inform them that they have the right to call the police and explain to them why I should move, considering that freedom of speech is guaranteed by the Constitution.
But that's just me.
