No Shaw you don't get to smear an entire political movement based on this one guy's actions.

For fuck's sake.

I mean, what if it turns out that the woman in question was a paid political operative, wearing a disguise and rushing the candidate's car several times trying to "give him something", and the guys who tackled her were trying to get the police's attention about her for a long time?

Even just this event was more than just one guy. And there's also the journalist who was handcuffed by private thugs for asking a tea partier questions. And the long history of liberals being ejected for trespassing on public events that turned out to secretly be only open for the conservative public.

If the police won't get rid of someone you don't like, that doesn't in any way justify doing it yourself.

Tony, do you believe that an organization that espouses a particular view will attract a certain type of follower?
