:53:00
Separate the hippies.
:53:02
Tonight, I again proudly
accept your nomination
:53:05
for President
of the United States.
:53:10
And let us place ourselves
:53:12
to win an even
greater victory
:53:14
this November in 1972.
:53:18
Four more years!
:53:19
Four more years!
:53:20
Four more years!
:53:22
Four more years!
:53:23
Four more years!
:53:25
Four more years!
:53:26
Four more years!
:53:28
Four more years!
:53:30
Four more years!
:53:31
Can I break through
your complacency?
:53:33
Do you have compassion
:53:34
for the people
suffering in this war?
:53:37
I'm telling you
this war is a crime!
:53:40
I'm not as bitter
about my wounds...
:53:43
Who do you
think you are?
:53:45
Can I help you, sir?
:53:47
You can't come through.
:53:48
You can't
come through, sir.
:53:50
I have a pass.
:53:57
Who are these people?
:53:59
You can't stop us!
:54:01
You can't stop me!
:54:02
You can't stop me!
:54:04
Why are you
here tonight?
:54:05
What do you
have to say?
:54:07
My name's Ron Kovic.
:54:09
I'm a Vietnam veteran.
:54:10
I'm here to say
this war is wrong,
:54:13
that this society lied
to me and my brothers...
:54:16
Why don't you
shut up?
:54:18
It deceived the people
in this country.
:54:20
It tricked them
into going 13,000 miles
:54:24
to fight a war against
a poor peasant people
:54:28
who have a proud history
of resistance,
:54:31
who have been struggling
for their own independence
:54:34
for 1,000 years--
the Vietnamese people.
:54:37
I can't-- I can't find
the words to express
:54:41
how the leadership
of this government sickens me.
:54:43
Now, people say...
:54:46
people say if you
don't love America,
:54:49
then get the hell out.
:54:51
Well, I love America,
:54:52
but when it comes
to the government,
:54:55
it stops right there.
:54:56
The government is
a bunch of corrupt thieves.
:54:59
They are rapists
and robbers.
