Bait and Switches
While Stalkin’ Malkin was working herself into a hate-filled ragegasm over this:
Well, folks, it looks like we’ve got another one of those moments in Virginia politics when we scratch our heads and ask, “What is wrong with these people?”
Here’s a the short version of what happened (full explanation below the fold): On Friday, two Feder staffers approached Congressman Wolf in a public location to ask him some questions. Two different individuals who were accompanying Congressman Wolf (staffers? relatives? friends?) assaulted the Feder staffers, as you can see quite clearly in the video. The first Feder staffer was hit with a cane and then punched. The second staffer (as you will see on the video) was pinned to a wall and forcibly held there. All of this took place in the presence of Congressman Wolf, who stood by and did nothing to intervene.
Watch the video for yourself and see what you think about this kind of bullying, political and otherwise. I mean, c’mon, just because you don’t want to answer someone’s questions - or even if they’re annoying you a bit — that does NOT make it okay to stand idly by as your goons physically attack people for the audacity of exercising their First Amendment rights.
Here’s the video in question:
So, tell us Michelle, is assault okay if its one of your own doing it?
