I’m not sure how yet — I’m still waiting for that Pima County Sheriff to hit the talk show circuit to give me my talking points — but I’m pretty sure Sarah Palin, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, Christine O’Donnell, Scott Walker, the TEA Party, and Barry Goldwater are to blame for this.
Shame on them, pushing what I’m sure is a good man to such a breaking point.
Racists.
(thanks to newrouter)
theothermccain has some follow ups on this
They are pushing, pushing, pushing for fisticuffs or worse they can credibly (well, to the MSM anyway)
point at the TEA party type causing; gives the libs an excuse to clamp down.
Picking on girls is a sure fire way to stir up the non-collective working man, as they well know.
Don’t know the line we gotta walk, we can’t be seen as provoking violence, but we can’t let them intimidate us either, physically or otherwise.
Clever that the police are mostly sympathetic to the union side, don’t you think? Things could get weird…
Funny though how this doesn’t get any real amount of MBM face-time, but the Tea-Partiers peaceful protests?
THE HATEFUL RHETORIC OF THE TEA-PERTY WINGNUTZ CAUSES VIOLENCE! SILENCE LIMBAUGH!, BECK!, AND LEVIN!…FOR FREEEEEEEEDOM!
While the tape is infuriating, and the realistic chances of Mr. Thug (that’s the name — that name again is Mr. Thug) facing any penalties at all are somewhere between a slim chance and Fat Chance, I take some solace in Instapundit’s comment: “…the angry, yet impotent face of today’s labor movement.”
Impotent, eh? Must be the loss of that Viagra benefit that made him so mad.

“I’ve also asked Secretary Clinton to travel to Geneva on Monday, where a number of foreign ministers will convene for a session of the Human Rights Council. ”

So, if they didn’t go to FreedomWorks to talk, why were they there? Someone should have asked.
Fellow looks like his nose has been busted once already, by a righty. Needs straightening I think.
This guy is a coward, pure and simple. The fact that he considers assaulting women to be okay is a mark against him, and by extension his ilk.

Exactly.

Dear Sheriff Ducttape:
In keeping with the new spirit of bi-partisanship and civility, I’d like to offer the following suggestion for your talking points:
2. Because I said so, that’s why.
Now. Call off your goon squad.
Submitted without comment since it is AP and Mother Jones so who knows what is being sold between the lines or words.
Hate to admit it, but the president of the Northeast Foodworkers union used to be a pretty good friend of mine. At that time his dad (whom we nicknamed “cement shoes Bob”) was president, and my friend was treasurer of the union. We had a lot of fun, and I still like him personally, but I could never quite get aboard with his politics. Once, the union bigwigs spent $250,000 on a Clinton fund raiser ($2500 a plate). Now, where did THAT money come from?
What you are all missing here is that these thugs are PROUD of being thugs, and wear assault arrests as a badge of union honor. They think it’s funny. If this asshole gets arrested, he will leave his booking as a hero to the guys who are in charge. They WANT this crap to happen. It’s a game to them, and as far as they are concerned, this guy is a winner.
I can almost guarantee that his union bosses are yukking it up with this thug over a few beers, and trying to figure out how to shield him from any consequences. He just earned himself some bonus money…
…for slapping around a little woman.
May he one day wear ‘cement shoes’.
He needs a dose of manners.
Well, of course “Sarah Palin, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, Christine O’Donnell, Scott Walker, the TEA Party, and Barry Goldwater” — well, maybe not Mr Goldwater — are to blame! They are, after all, trying to hurt the middle class and give all of our power and wealth to the wealthy oligarchs who run this country, and you can’t blame a working man for resisting, even if the unwitting stooges of the Koch Brothers did approach disguised as a young woman.
I am reminded of this sequence from Dr Strangelove:
What he needs is a few nights sharing a cell with Man Mountain Debbie.
