Disruptive San Diegan calls Gonzales 'lazy fascist'

A San Diego man briefly disrupted yesterday's Senate hearing on domestic surveillance, calling Attorney General Alberto Gonzales “a lazy fascist” as a protest to the Bush administration's eavesdropping program.

As Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter banged his gavel, 27-year-old mechanical engineer Kevin Griffey was escorted from the room, content that he had fulfilled a patriotic duty to resist a practice that he believes undermines the Constitution.

“The reason I spoke out today is that I love my country so much, and I feel it's going down a very troubling path,” Griffey said afterward. “If the administration is going to do something like this, it needs to follow the law and obtain a warrant.”

“I feel that some of the practices of this administration are jeopardizing our freedoms in a lot of ways,” Griffey said. “That's why I felt perfectly justified in doing what I did today.”

thank you Kevin
