We always walk out on his speeches. Happens every time. The UK and other ally nations usually do too.

Are you talking Freedom of Speech here? If so remember that the UN headquarters is not a part of the US. It is in the US but not governed by us or any of our laws, other than in the area of protection. Now Obama would probably have been cheering the man but we know why that is.

I don't care if people criticize the United States or our history, but when you're the dubiously "elected" president of a backwards repressive regime that occasionally decides that hundreds(if not thousands) of student protesters, academics, and journalists should suddenly "disappear" maybe you should shut the hell up instead of blaming other countries for the world's woes.

You might have been able to do that if we were not responsible for this...

I was going to read your link from Common Dreams but when I saw the word, progressive, in their description of who they are I just decided not to waste my time.

More nations walked out than stayed.

There is a freedom to hear, too and a freedom to get up and leave.
