Sorry. I hate walmart. I buy mom and pop if at all possible.
It would appear that that the President's security force is a Kinder and Gentler than Kerry's
It was a Freeper! In Philly, I believe.
Wasn't Physicist involved somehow?
Yea it's not nice to kick a girl while she's on the ground. I wouldn't want to be those guys in Cincinatti tonite....

Clear case of assault by the Goon to the Heckler, wonder if John Edwards will represent the ABUSED HECKLER.
It is okay ..yours has more info on the heckler...as a name...there is another thread out there also..
Anyway... THIS JUST IN..THE GUY IS A REPUBLICAN..
Police said Michael Russell, 48, of Foster, Ky., complained that his neck was hurt by a man who put him in a headlock after Russell started to yell about allegations Kerry had made three decades ago about war atrocities in Vietnam.
City police were investigating. No charges had been filed.
After Russell's outburst, Kerry told the audience, "I have nothing but the greatest respect for people's right to have their opinions and to express them here in the United States of America." He added, "It's a terrific tactic of the Bush team, they love to disrupt, they love to interrupt. They don't want America to hear the truth, but we will talk the truth."
Russell said he is a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for judge-executive, the chief administrative post in Bracken County, Ky., in 2000 and worked for the Bush-Cheney campaign that year by putting out campaign signs.

started to yell about Kerry's allegation of war atrocities after returning from Navy service in Vietnam
Members of YOUR UNION assaulted a citizen today in Cincinnati at a Kerry rally and it was captured on nation wide TV!
You are going to be sued. I hope it bankrupts your union and your members have to get real jobs.
FREE SPEECH is NOT something to have to be assaulted for. This is America, not Cuba!
I can see you shaking in your boots now......
/sarcasm
wow....he had an invite thru his union....wow...and he was tackled by another union member...wow.....
The plot thickens...
