During the presidential debates, Rudy Giuliani flexed his muscles by demanding (and receiving) the arrest of a fringe journalist who asked him "rude questions" about 9/11. The journalist was arrested and beaten by private security at the event who claimed to be "police."
John Kerry stepped into the fray to demonstrate that Rudy isn't the only control-freak Republicrat who can get critics a public beatdown. Watch this video of a University of Florida student being censored, beaten and tasered for asking Kerry uncomfortable questions about the election of 2004 at a public event:
Outrageous! Lest anyone think there was something that happened beforehand that justified this student being physically removed from the forum, there is another video on YouTube which shows the incident from the beginning of his time at the microphone:
As far as I can tell, a moderator did not ask him to stop, nor were his questions of excessive length. Even including stopping to address his being interrupted, he was at the mic for less than two minutes. The cops intervened way too quickly, and they did not even politely ask him to sit down before they grabbed him.
This was among the comments posted on the YouTube page:

Correcting factual errors above:
1.
Immediately after a debate in NH, and not part of the formal debate.
2.
Ed Goeas, pollster for Rudy Giuliani, was the one being confronted.
I've found no allegation that Giuliani was involved. Other Giuliani staffers
allegedly sought the removal of the journalist from the premises as Goeas
told him to "back off".
3.
I've seen the video of the confrontation, and listened to an
interview with the "journalist". Neither suggested even a hint of anyone
being "beaten" or in any way assaulted.
4.
"Journalist" Matt Lepacek was arrested and charged with trespassing
by the actual police.
We now return to your regularly scheduled fog of disinformation, already in
progress.
