Student Tasered for Armed Madhouse Question to Kerry
"[Palast] said you won the 2004 election - isn't that amazing?
There were multiple reports of disenfranchising of Black voters on
the day of the election in 2004 in Florida and Ohio. ... How could
you concede the election on the day?"

We warned you: 'Armed Madhouse' is a dangerous book. Yesterday,
Andrew Meyers, a University of Florida studentwas attacked by five
cops, zapped with tasers and arrested after demanding that Senator
John Kerry answer the question.
Meyers, just released from jail and now facing five years in prison
for resisting arrest, held up a copy of the book and began,
Student to John Kerry: "I want to recommend a book to you. It's
called 'Armed Madhouse by Greg Palast.' He's the top investigative
journalist in America."
Kerry: "I have the book. I've already read it."
Student: "... In this book, it says there were 5 million votes and
you won the election. ... How could you concede the election on
the day?"
Meyers, a telecommunications student at the Gainesville campus,
asked related questions including a query as to why Kerry refused
to vote for impeachment. When he passed his alloted one minute mic
time, five cops jumped him, threw him to the ground, shot him with
taser shockers.
Kerry, true to character, stood immobile.
Now, I've given many talks. And some questioners have taken too
long at the mic. But I've never done the Stalin thing of cops and
electronic beating to limit the discussion. (Yes, it's true that
Randi Rhodes recently threatened me with a taser when I've
monopolized the mic in her studio.)
The Washington Post reported only that Meyers was holding a
"mysterious yellow book." VERY mysterious.
I would note that enchained student was busted in Alachua County,
Florida, where, six years ago, I uncovered massive, systematic and
utterly illegal disenfranchisement of Black voters - ordered by
Gov. Jeb Bush's office just before the 2000 election. ("Florida's
Disappeared Voters," February 2001, The Nation.) Alachua remains
under federal scrutiny for its long history of racial bias against
Black voters.
I must admit I feel some appreciation for Meyers, especially
because, even while he was being shot with untold amps of
electricity, until he was handcuffed, he would not let go of his
mysterious yellow book, 'Armed Madhouse.'
