Let me just say this,Goldkindresponded. Ford what does it stand for? Falsify. Overstate. Repeat. Deny.

The quip brought a roar from the crowd. Many shouted atGoldkindto go home while others sounded their support.

Goldkindthen added: Nobody knows more about defence attorneys, and the need for them, Doug, than you, to a further eruption from the crowd.

Ford shot back that he has never needed a defence attorney in his life and called onGoldkindto retract his remark.

I dont even know why youre at the table, Ford added.

Goldkind, smiling, appeared to ignore Ford and at one point stopped the moderator, former Toronto mayor JohnSewell, from quelling the noisy crowd.

Im fine with it, he toldSewell.
