Knowing leftist kooks as I do, Kunst is probably lying about it.

Former ambassador gives a Hillary supporter the finger
It was hardly a diplomatic gesture that former Ambassador Martin Indyk made when he spotted Robert Kunst holding a sign promoting a 2008 Democratic ticket of Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Joe Biden (Del.) last week.
According to Kunst, a Miami Beach businessman who has been conducting a two-year Clinton for President grassroots campaign via e-mail, Indyk gave him the finger as Kunst stood in front of the Brookings Institution, where Indyk, the former U.S. envoy to Israel in the Clinton administration, is a senior fellow.
“I was astounded,” Kunst said yesterday. “I wasn’t doing anything offensive. I thought what the hell is his problem? I was talking to a reporter and I said, ‘Did he just give me the finger?’ and he said, ‘Yes.’”
Kunst was holding a sign that said, “Dream Team? Hillary Clinton/Joe Biden in 2008,” while waiting for Biden, who was giving a speech at Brookings.
Kunst said Biden “gave me a thumbs-up,” but Kunst was still steaming over Indyk’s rude gesture. “I didn’t get this kind of nastiness last week from thousands of people who saw my sign in the Deep South,” he said.
Indyk did not respond to a request for comment.

Bob, Bob, Bob, you don't understand. Just your standing there and breathing was offensive.
