If you missed McCain's boring speech last night then you probably missed out on some of the greatest moments ever to be captured at any Convention. Its bad enough that McCain can't read a TelePrompTer but our good friend Adam Kokesh who has given numerous speeches at Ron Paul Rallies and stands with me as a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW.org) spoke truth to power on our behalf. I was simply amazed at how effectively outsiders of the Convention infiltrated the system during what should have been one of the best nights of McCain's life. I'm wagering he lost a few years after seeing the banner Adam snuck in. I've never felt so empowered to confront McCain at every stop he makes from now on. Whether it be a town hall meeting or a debate, I refuse to let him get away with his disrespect toward the troops he has helped condemn to a living hell on Earth. This was of course not only backlash for the censorship of the Paul delegates but also the rejection by McCain to address the unacceptable treatment our soldiers are receiving as they return home with wounds and mental illness. PTSD is on the rise and in direct correlation suicide, drug, and alcohol abuse. Soldiers have been made to wait for months before their PTSD is treated and some are never seen. We also have service members losing military benefits including their GI Bill that they have earned after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan because they are discharged because of their sexual orientation, failure to adjust upon return home, or because they refuse to return to Iraq sometimes after being stop-lossed. These injustices, presented to McCain were quickly rejected in the matter of minutes. I am ashamed of the Veterans who pledge their support for McCain at this time. He has consistently voted against Vets.
A great video that needs to go viral, lets make it happen! This was broadcast live on several networks and if we make it number one it will become McCain's new nightmare. God Bless the alternate who gave both Adam and the female veteran who protested earlier guest passes. You too are an unsung hero.

Speaking as someone who was at the Rally and heard his speech - and who watched McCain's speech last night at home and applauded Mr Kokesh from my living room - let me just say that we are very fortunate to have his support and allegiance. There may differences of opinion on whether it was proper or 'acceptable' to infiltrate McCain's speech. But one thing is certain and is something we all can agree on: it took courage, bravery and a whole lot of balls to do what he did.
We could use a few hundred thousand more Adam Kokesh's. A motivated Marine is one helluva asset. Thank you Mr. Kokesh. Thank you Iraq Veterans Against the War. And thank you to the alternate who gave Mr Kokesh and the others access last night.
I got a little choked up during a few parts.
