Reporter Arrested For Attempting to Ask Tough Questions At GOP Debate
roguegovernment.com — A reporter from the activist/alternative media group We Are Change was removed and arrested from the post-debate press area for attempting to question Rudy Giuliani on a number of issues including his involvement in the events of 9/11. This is all despite the fact that the reporter had press credentials from the debate organizers.

- jumpsuitjimmy, on 10/11/2007, -7/+24This debate was a joke, all time given to three middle guys, Romney, Giuliani, McCain. ***** them. Ron Paul kicked their asses and they purposely tried to bury him.
- macaca, on 10/11/2007, -14/+5Kucinich and Ron Paul '08. I like that ticket. Digg me up if u agree with me.

here's the video - elebrio, on 10/11/2007, -13/+8The "reporter" sounds like a combative ***** bordering on insane. This is a debate sponsored by CNN and the Republican Party, they don't have to let anyone in press or otherwise. All you truthers should get a life. Asking questions to a Guiliani staffer? ZZZZZZZzzzz. Acting like a militant and getting "censored" by the oppressive mainstream media is a self fulfilling prophecy. There is no first amendment right to act like an ***** at a private function.
- redrock34, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17Expect more infringements on our constitutional rights if Giuliani is elected.
- borninda818, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2he wont be elected...I'm 95% sure. If he passes primaries Hilary or Obama will walk all over him. Ron Paul is the only Republican who even has a chance of actually being president.

- espressobean, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7"Lepacek did receive one phone call in jail which he used to contact reporter Luke Rudkowski. According to Rudkowski, Lepacek was scared because he had been told he may be transferred to a secret detention facility because state police were also considering charges of espionage against him-- due to a webcam Lepacek was using to broadcast live at the event. State police considered it to be a hidden camera, which led to discussion of "espionage."
Wearing a webcam at a press event is not an act of espionage. Alex Jones, who was watching the live feed, witnessed Lepacek announce that he was wearing a camera connected to a laptop that was transmitting the press conference live at approximately 9:20 EST. When Lepacek announced that he was broadcasting live, Giuliani staff members responded by getting upset at his questions and ordering his arrest."

- FiatLux88, on 10/11/2007, -5/+6Dirtbag Guiliani! What is the name of the press secretary? I went on the Nazi's website but can not find a number to call......I think we should unleash a barrage on the wannabe Dick-tater's campaign, the state police of NH and every avenue available.....SMOTHER them with it...Anyone got numbers? Suggestions? Other ideas?

"What were the specific questions about 9/11 that the reporter asked?"
He was asking how Giuliani knew the towers were going to fall...
Considering the footage from 9/11 where Giuliani is walking around "ground zero" warning the towers were about to collapse.
@Anyone who still hasn't taken the 9/11 red pill yet...

In this video...Giuliani actually says he was told the buildings were going to collapse...How did he know?
Either he predicted to the first two steel structures to collapse in history by chance...or someone told him.
The only logically solution is...someone told him...
Who told him and how did they know?!
Why won't they answer those simple questions...?!
Just something to ponder...
Take the red pill...
WAKE UP!

WAKE UP! - Frenchy79, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3just...wow!
- Bigflexy, on 10/11/2007, -5/+6When did the police become security guards to escort an individuals away from the premises?
- Herkimer56, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6When they are hired to guard an event and some dumbass decides to disrupt that event.
- Otto, on 10/11/2007, -5/+7He was arrested because he was being a dick and refusing to leave after asked to do so, not because he was asking tough questions.
He committed criminal trespass. He got arrested for it. He's also one of those Truther nutjobs. End of argument. - Jimmyb207, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Even people who are not politically educated should be asking themselves at this point....WHY is Giuliani being armed against "a question?" Is there a terrible truth that must be kept from the American population? Hmmmm.....9-11 Truth will expose the WORM that is Giuliani.
- ephilution, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2This type of police backed intimidation goes to show that those guilty are getting scared. Also the interviewee's posture alternates from a state of suppressed anger to looking uncomfortable and then filling in the spaces in between with defensive smiling. To me this struck me as being indicative of a guilty conscience and fear for any possible persecution that may ensue. It was painfully and blatantly obvious in this one.
- savillatube, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2This stinks to high heaven! All the Giuliani spokesman had to do was say he did not know anything about it. If that did not satisfy the people asking the question and they persisted by interrupting other reporter questions they could have been asked to leave. Police could have been called to the "spin room" to discuss the problem and possibly defuse the situation. What occurred was absolutely wrong! It shows we are living in a "Police State" where unlawful orders are issued and carried out by unthinking, ignorant police. It only shows how frightened Giuliani and his spokemen are about any "wrong" questions being asked.
