Do you approve of media confronting Lois Lerner in her neighborhood? (Reader Poll)

Do unto others? Or, what goes around comes around
(Reader Poll at bottom of post)
Jason Mattera of the Daily Surge recently filmed an unannounced confrontation with former IRS employee Lois Lerner in her own neighborhood.
Lerner fled his camera and tried (unsuccessfully) to seek refuge in a neighbor’s home: ...
This may seem invasive and inappropriate, but as Jason Mattera asks her in so many words, is it any more inappropriate than the way Lerner used her position at the IRS to target average Americans?
In fact, this is a tactic the left has been using for quite a while.
In 2010, busloads of SEIU protesters descended on the private home of a Bank of America executive who they perceived as a political enemy.
The house was empty, except for a teenager who hid in the bathroom fearing for his life.
Nina Easton, who you may know from her writing and media appearances, lived next door and described the scene: ...
I’d really like to know what Legal Insurrection readers think about this. Am I making an unfair comparison? Was Jason Mattera’s ambush of Lois Lerner unfair or is it what Glenn Reynolds describes as punching back twice as hard?
So what do you think. After viewing the video, and considering how it must feel for any controversial public figure (do unto others?) to be confronted where s/he lives, was the questioning of Lerner a good thing?

She wielded the terrible power of the federal government, the power to totally crush and destroy. Surely she can face an unarmed citizen asking a simple question.
To: smoothsailing
Until the evil witch is where she belongs -— in the slammer -— I think it is perfectly proper to hound her miserable @$$.

I believe it makes us look dangerous and that’s just the image I’d like to instill in the left.

I disapprove of the media attacking her. I prefer that Americans attack her with rope and a nearby tree.

Sending a message is not a bad thing, esp when we can do it without harming another person. Lerner has harmed plenty. Yes, yes, yes and yes. And this is a pinprick, compared to the suffering she has caused.

The shriveled up old hag got away with her criminal acts and is covering up for her boss. The confrontation was 100 th of what she deserves.

I have no sympathy for anyone who sics the federal forces on political enemies. That is a CRIME. She needs to be in jail, along with the person who commanded her to do it.

9 The Left has been doing this stuff since the days of Alinsky. About damn time we returned fire. 30 Personally, we should do this to Holder as well. Make these bums fear leaving their homes.

makes “us” look bad to whom?
To ourselves? Or to people who would gladly abuse the power of the IRS to destroy individuals and small businesses at the request of politicians like Elijah Cummings or Chuck Schumer?
“We” need to get over it and learn to use their tactics because you know what? Their tactics are working. They’re eating our lunch.

Sounds like a great idea. Any Freepers in the DC area?

They should also post her last ten years of tax returns on Facebook.

She conspired to wage war against the citizens of the United States.
There is no such thing as "excessive" punishment.
