Liberal Blogger Loses It at Town Hall Meeting

Obsession with Republican Nominee leads to physical assault, publicity stunt
Anchorage, Alaska. October 17, 2010 Joe Miller released the following statement:
While Ive gotten used to the blog Alaska Dispatchs assault on me and my family, I never thought that it would lead to a physical assault. Its too bad that this blogger would take advantage of a Town Hall meeting to create a publicity stunt just two weeks before the election.
The Miller campaign was required by the facility to provide security at the event. Even though Joe had spent nearly an hour freely answering questions from those in attendance, the blogger chased Miller to the exit after the event concluded in an attempt to create and then record a confrontation with the candidate. While Miller attempted to calmly exit the facility, the blogger physically assaulted another individual and made threatening gestures and movements towards the candidate. At that point the security personnel had to take action and intervened and detained the irrational blogger, whose anger overcame him. It is also important to note that the security personnel did not know that the individual they detained was a blogger who reporting on the campaign. To them, the blogger appeared irrational, angry and potentially violent.
No.
I believe you have the right description for the wrong side of the confrontation.
After Miller walked away, Hopfinger said, he was surrounded by Miller supporters and security guards and felt threatened, so he pushed one of them away.
IOW, he wasn't handcuffed because he was "trespassing at the public event"
When conservatives were getting beaten and hospitalized by SEIU thugs at townhalls, there were NEVER any news stories, but let one commie get handcuffed by security after assaulting someone; the journalists jump in to blame the candidate.
Put all those “journalists” in jail & Country will be better off.
Liar = Obama.
Cheater = Feds.
Thief = Congress.
Con artist = Piss-Stream Media.
Throw 'em all out.
Most of them are.
trolling here .
this fellow troll runs a one man Palin hating website and has been stalking Miller with a camera looking for trouble .
What I've always wondered is why Allen's "security team" wasn't up on the latest in dangerous situations involving guys with video cameras. Earlier ~ Ahmad Shah Massoud had been assassinated by a team of Taliban sponsored "journolists" who got a bomb on the scene inside a video camera.
Another Pakistani-type fellow up in Quebec wearing the same hairdo as Macaca boy pulled a pistol and began shooting people on a downtown street in Montreal.
Allen would still be a senator if Macaca had been hauled away early, and kudos to candidate Miller's guys for recognizing the risk this particular blogger presented to life and limb.
Does anyone know if this guy has an affiliation with the Washington Post?
he has been trying to provoke a Macca moment from Miller.
OK, thanks for the heads-up. I do not know the background at all.
Its a Palin hater website and this clown and his wife were the one’s spreading the false palin divorce story until they got told to stop it.
Thanks. I didn’t either read the story OR understand who the players are. Me bad.
Most of them are.
Particularly if they think or know that their victim won't fight back.
