Ray McGovern

The radical libs love Ray McGovern, Donald Rumsfeld heckler.

And he loves them -- really loves them.

Yesterday, Rumsfeld was challenged by four protesters during a speech at the Southern Center for International Studies, a non-profit educational group. The one the media are fawning over is McGovern.

Ray McGovern, a 27-year CIA veteran who once gave President George H.W. Bush his morning intelligence briefings, engaged in an extended debate with Rumsfeld after asking why the defense secretary had insisted before the Iraq invasion that there was "bulletproof evidence" linking Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda.

"Was that a lie, Mr. Rumsfeld, or was that manufactured somewhere else? Because all of my CIA colleagues disputed that, and so did the 9/11 commission," McGovern said during a question-and-answer session. "Why did you lie to get us into a war that was not necessary?"

At the start of the exchange, Rumsfeld remained unflappable, insisting, "I haven't lied. I did not lie then," before launching into a vigorous defense of the administration's prewar pronouncements on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

But he became tongue-tied when McGovern pressed him on claims that he knew where unconventional Iraqi weapons were located.

"You said you knew where they were," McGovern said.

"I did not. I said I knew where suspected sites were," Rumsfeld retorted.

McGovern then read from the defense secretary's past statements. As U.S. troops approached Baghdad in March 2003, Rumsfeld had said about weapons of mass destruction: "We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."

That led Rumsfeld to briefly stammer. He recovered after admonishing a security guard who was trying to push McGovern away from the microphone.

Rumsfeld insisted U.S. troops believed they would encounter chemical or biological weapons.

While the lib media are quick to point out McGovern's long career with the CIA, they fail to mention what a radical Leftist he is.

Again, the media expose their own bias by not covering the story fairly.

McGovern is aligned with far-Left Leftist groups. He's extreme among the extreme, and a darling of the wackos.

Read more from the supposedly "credible with no axe to grind" McGovern here, here, and here.

This is a must read.

McGovern is an "Impeach Bush" ringleader and a hero to the radical Left organizations.

He co-founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, a "group of current and former intelligence officers, ...formed in January 2003 "to speak out on the use of intelligence to justify the war," as "a coast-to-coast enterprise".

In addition to calling for the President's impeachment, McGovern promotes 9/11 conspiracy theories, suggesting that the U.S. government was involved in the attacks. Yes, he's on the intellectual level of Charlie Sheen.

This man should be shown to be the radical activist that he is.

It is disingenuous of the media to splash that Rumsfeld was mercilessly heckled by a former CIA man, implying that the heckler has some real credibility, without providing background on McGovern.

He is an extremist loon.
