But it's conservatives who engage in violence and hate speech, right?

The Saint Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that one of their own, reporter Jake Wagman, was one of six people arrested in connection with the beating of a conservative activist outside of a town hall forum held by Democrat Congressman Russ Carnahan.

According to Dawn Majors, a Post-Dispatch photojournalist who witnessed everything unfold, an officer said that Wagman had been "interfering."

[mware]

he witness it, and they claim he interferred?

What did he do try to help the guy down on the ground getting a beatdown.

They really screwed up on that one and are going to learn a hard lesson,People will be ready for that next time.

Will Obama offer a beer summit for the man that was injured with the 5-6 who beat him and called him a racial slur? Obama is doing more to divide us racially than anything.

This is going to get really really ugly.

I hope that these thugs will really think about what they are about to unleash.

We are not just going to shut up and go away. The Republic is threatened and we are going to stand up and be heard and no amount of intimidation is going to stop our voices.

Obama in Las Vegas, Sept. 17, 2008: "I want you to argue with them and get in their face"

Obama in Philadelphia, June 14, 2009: "If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun"

Axlerod to Dem Senators, August 6, 2009: "Punch back twice as hard"

Can you detect a criminal thug pattern?

A new Civil War is coming. Granddaddy told me this was going to happen.

Sounds like a real hate crime. The hatred of ideas.

The left cannot engage in a debate of ideas based on facts.

The new liberal playbook - "When you have the facts, pound the facts. When you have the ideas, pound the ideas. When you don't have facts or ideas, pound the opposition!"

Ping.

Isn’t MO an open-carry state?
If so, I hope more people are “afraid for their safety” at political gatherings like this, they could even cite this event (even w/ a gun 6:1 odds is not good), and act appropriately.

People will be ready for that next time.

Good lesson for conservatives. Don't protest alone.

This is gonna get ugly soon. Be prepared to physically defend yourself and your circle of friends.

It already is. It's going to get uglier. These people are thugs and tyrants. It's the Chicago way, translating Alinsky tactics into physical violence. The left has always had the edge in mob organizing and gang beatings. Conservatives have generally gone it alone. Time to think about changing that.

“I hope that these thugs will really think about what they are about to unleash.”

They don’t and they are going to pay heavily for it.

[Genoa]

Looks like the left’s plan is to instigate violence and then blame the right. Then comes the repression.

Amen

I told my son I thought it would happen in his lifetime. Looks like It may fall on my shoulders. Whatever it takes to save this country, I am willing to do
