Byron York of The National Review had a great article yesterday about the devolution of the MoveOn Katrina Victims protest at the White House.
Dana Milbank of the Washington Post also wrote about MoveOn's troubled demonstration.
However, apparently both these fine observers of the scene had departed when the worst part of the MoveOn protest happened.
As Angelwood and I stood talking and debating with malingering MoveOn protesters, a man standing about twenty or thirty feet away from us was giving an interview with an independent D.C. journalist.
I recognized the man as a long time liberal activist from Florida whom we had first met during the build up to the impeachment of President Clinton.
Then, he was defending Bill Clinton, now he's trying to draft his wife Hillary to run for president herself.
It took a while for the man's name to come to mind. It was Bob...something.
As he was giving the interview, the man became agitated and started speaking in a loud voice. He welled up into a tirade and blurted out, "FReepers should be shot!"
I was looking at him as he said this, as his loud voice was naturally drawing the attention of those within ever-growing earshot as his decibel level grew.
Knowing he was out on the political hustings and has been on TV shows and been quoted many times in the press, I asked him if he had just said that we (Freepers) should be shot . I thought maybe he'd take it back and try to excuse himself for being so worked up.
But no, he responded, "Yes, you should be shot!"
He walked away after that. The police did nothing.
Angelwood and I left soon after. The man's name finally came to me. Bob Kunst, president of Hillary Now.
I suppose he's lucky the TV cameras were long gone by then. But there is an audiotape. There was a microphone right in his face when he yelled out, "Freepers should be shot!"
You are absolutely correct I'm afraid. One or some of them will cross the line and a conservative will be hurt or killed.
It is their purpose to intimidate people into silencing debates with their arguments. Their masters know PRECISELY what they are doing in whipping the liberal moonbats into a frenzy.
In fact, they hope that something will happen because there probably wouldn't be a way to trace it back directly to the agitators and would have the effect they desire.
We should all be careful, but not silent. These fools rhetoric cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged.
Thanks for the report. What an idiot, too bad the cops didn't challenge him a bit on his behavior, but they too are constrained.
Bob Kunst = Stalinist Creep
I first came up with that years ago during a protracted 'flame war' involving a sociopathic WebTver.
Dunno whether/if anyone had said before "officially" so sure, run with it...:))
I know but some may not be entirely familiar with the psychological term and/or particulars of 'projection'...:)
That might be a good thing. It would be the equivalent of a massive toilet flush.
I no longer worry about it. I'm ready to get it over with.
Shot for what? Expressing our opinions? It's long past time we started expressing our opinions. And the country can't be the worse for it.
I pray that it happens during my lifetime. After all, what are they going to fight us with, the ACLU? There will be a lot of Libs bringing lawyers to a gunfight!
Mr. Kundst did it occur to you that we have the guns?
You're almost there.
Think of a fitting term for Hillary and the 'note' is "music"...:)
It took a while for the man's name to come to mind. It was Bob...something.
"His wife"? Uhm, that would be Bill Clinton himself, no?
stock up on ammo.
Wow, the totalitarian mind at work is troublesome and dangerous to freedom. This guy represents what the Left is all about.
I've long abandoned the practice of bringing my daughter to protests for Protest Warrior. Way too dangerous.
Love your tagline. Kilroy was here!
That's Kunst, not Kunstler. William Kunstler's corpse is at room temperature, while his eternal soul is burning in Hell. The latter defended the marxist domestic terrorist who ambushed and murdered a NJ State Trooper who was a family acquaintance. I one time ran into William Kunstler on a PATH train to Hoboken. What a sad sack of excrement.
This crosses the line. CW2 has started.
A stinking sodomite beast supporter. LOL
I share your concern re civil war. I'm ready.
