While President Barack Obama and his challenger Mitt Romney will get the red carpets rolled out for them at Hofstra University Tuesday night, Green Party candidate Jill Stein got a far chillier reception.
A video posted by LI Report, a Hofstra student news website, shows Stein being blocked by police from entering the debate. On camera, Stein called the debate itself a "mockery of Democracy."
According to the article, Stein and her running mate, Cheri Honkala, were blocked from entering because they did not have credentials
Security at Hofstra has been even tighter than it was for the 2008 debate, given a sitting president will be on campus.
In the video, officers warn Stein and Honkala that they would be arrested if they did not move. And after they ignored those warnings, police led them away.
According to a post on PhillyNOW, the Green Party candidates had planned to storm the event, knowing it could get them arrested.
The Green Party candidates are on 85% of state ballots. Except for your ideological biases why do you think they shouldn't be allowed to participate in our democracy?
Kudos to Jill and her running mate for standing up to those fascist baboons. Comparing her intelligence to theirs would be like comparing an atom bomb to a spear. She has my vote.
As far as being too scared to do that job, again, I highly doubt there was much of a threat from these two women. Nothing that the burly beast muscleheads couldn't handle. They're the best, protecting me from all those Green Party threats! GRRR. Back to the chem lab, I mean the gym.
Careful what you carry, the Man is wise, and you are still an outlaw in their eyes.
God Bless America! The home of the free?

Profits at the price of people is money that will haunt those profiting in the short term far longer than one can possibly imagine. A global economy is a myth. People live in real places, and we are bankrupting our own real country where we really do live. This election vote for someone and something you believe in, and who believes in you as an American citizen. Wish China well, but champion yourself and your own people first. Anything else will fail you, your fellow Americans, your country, and ultimately, your world. Stand for something worth living for. Vote Libertarian for one election. Gary Johnson, Libertarian candidate for President, wants to change tax laws so that American business has an incentive to remain and return to the USA. Start living for freedom, right here in your own country. Vote Libertarian for one election. Live free. http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/
