I think, if he asks for questions and I get to ask one (which probably won't happen) I'll be a totally nice gentlemen.

I'm not going to ask him about anything to do with America, because he's going to be ready for that with some talking points.

I'm going to ask him, in the context of Libya, Syria, Iraq before the fall of Saddam, and other dictatorships why it is that torture is bad for their legal systems. Specifically in terms of its intimidation effects, its use in interrogation and punishment.

I think that will totally just catch the mofo off guard. "Like WTF?"

Because he'll have to defend why torture is bad. :P That'll be a laugh and a half, don't you think? :rofl:

In this way, I can ask the questions without being cut off or nailed in the nuts with a taser, and I'll get the enjoyment of seeing him squirm.

2. Ask him how he feels about tarnishing the reputation of Hispanic Americans.
And if he thinks that selling out is the only way for us to achieve our full potential in America.

3. He got decently heckled, didn't he?
Got called a war criminal multiple times, there were protesters in the audience wearing black bags over their heads Abu Ghraib style, he got roundly booed.

Yes, I went. It's not often that one gets to look pure fucking evil in the eye and give him the welcome he deserves! :evilgrin:
