Does anyone have any idea what he is saying during the anti-war speech?

Another question. Was the guy wearing the American Flag for the shirt supposed to be someone real? This came up at work a few weeks ago and nobody knew.

I think it was supposed to be Abbie Hoffman.

From Wikipedia about Hoffman
quote:

Hoffman was portrayed by Richard D'Alessandro in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, speaking against "the war in Viet-fricking-nam" at a protest rally at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool facing the Washington Monument.
