Remember when Dem congressman Bob Etheridge went berserk on two kids who were harassing him in DC?

And everyone was wondering who those kids were? And the GOP denied it? Guess what? It was the GOP.

1. I figured as much but he still was totally in the wrong to have grabbed that camera man

It would have been nice if they had been found out sooner but likely wouldn't have made a difference.

2. So that's who Ashley Todd's been sleeping with lately?

3. Let's hope the MSM does a story on this.

6. Still believe in the Tooth Fairy?

:hug: j/k

I don't think they will. Remember the mob that went nuts in Florida 2000 were all aids to various pukes.

4. Not suprising

I'd say 'Do you support the Obama agenda' was a dead giveaway right from the beginning. But also not a huge deal, IMO. On the one hand, i don't think careers should always be ended over small gaffes and I didn't care one whit when this happened, but I also expect a little more from an elected official, particularly restraint when dealing with the public (yes, oppo plants are still the public). If you're a celebrity or politician, you have idiots hounding you all of the time. Is it fair? Not really, but that's just too bad. While I certainly understand when a celeb snaps and destroys a Papparazzo's camera, I also understand that in most circumstances that is a violation of the law. I'd say this is more of a commentary on our digital culture than on the GOP. Dirty tricks have always abounded -- now they're going digital I guess.

5. Still wrong.

7. Since they pretty much got away with stunts like that

in Florida 2000 they're going to do it - and this may be small time but, they got away with it big time. The rest is all down hill.

For some reason I'm beating FL 2000 to death today. :shrug:
