Green Party Candidates for President and Vice President Arrested at Debate

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — Police say the Green Party candidates for president and vice president have been arrested at the second presidential debate.

Nassau County, N.Y. police say Jill Stein, the Green presidential nominee, and Cheri Honkala, the vice-presidential nominee, were charged with disorderly conduct as they tried to enter the debate site at Hofstra University.

The Green Party says in a statement that Stein and Honkala were walking with supporters toward the Hofstra campus Tuesday afternoon when they were met by uniformed police officers. Stein and Honkala then held an impromptu press conference in which Stein called the debate a “mockery of democracy.”

A third person was later charged with disorderly conduct.

    Seems the Town Hall Debate was NO Town Hall Meeting at all. I was aware only college students could attend when I called and asked for tickets. I found out real quick I was a 2nd class citizen and didnt rate. They should have called first and they could have also found out that 99.99 % of Americans were discriminated against and banned from attending the debate. True Transparent Government in action! NOT

      Regardless of how cooky they are, I happen to agree that if they have taken the proper steps to be put on the ballot in most states then they should be a part of the debate.

    Wow is this confusing… I thought Obama was the “green” candidate? Oh well, I’m sure he’ll bail them out. :)

    I wonder if Joe Biden approved a Green loan to finance their campaign?

      I’m sure Obama will bail them out, he has a soft spot for everything green. Read political commentary at: http://smallcraftadvisorychronicles.blogspot.com/

      Obama will NOT be bailing these people out. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the one that had them arrested in the first place because they are looking to “steal” votes from him.

      If Gary Johnson and Virgil Goode got arrested tomorrow, do you think Romney would go bail them out?

      Romney should be the one bailing Jill Stein out….

    Doesn’t the “GREEN PARTY” love Cuba’s stinking filthy brand of how to be a commie? Remember, EL CHE was the Adolf Eichmann of the Cuban Commie de-evolution…

      Are they on the ballot in enough states to mathematically win the Presidency?

      If so, then the Green Party candidate SHOULD be in the debate. As should the Libertarian Party candidate, or any other candidate whose name is on the ballot in states sufficient to take a majority of the Electoral College.

      THAT would be fair.

      But they are NOT on enough ballots to win so it would be UNfair to allow them to participate.

    The Presidential debate is only for the Demoncrats and Repentlicans.
    It is totally unfair that the other Presidential candidates have been banned from the debates.
    The Demoncrats and Repentlicans are on different sides of the same Totem Pole.
    America needs to break the cycle of the globalists determining the candidates in the primaries than not allow all of the candidates into the debates.
    This is beyond discrimination in the Presidential debates.
    It is censorship at the highest level in order to limit, control and dominate the choices America has for President.
    Obama and Romney will be working for the globalists of the Luciferian New World Order and against the people of the Republic in America.

      Why move to Greece or Spain? Aren’t these American citizens? Aren’t they entitled to run for office, should they deem fit to do so? If they are on enough ballots to win the Presidency, should they not have their voices heard?

      Or is it that the standard old one-party-two-party system is so afraid of letting the debate outside of a certain small narrative, that they must stifle these opinions?

      If you think I’m calling you (yes, YOU, PERSONALLY) a COWARD, then you’re right!
