He should count his blessings. What if he were arrested in Durham?

Alterman writes a column for “The Nation” and writes the “Altercation” blog for Media Matters

How appropriate

Alterman’s a real punk. He’s one of those far-left liars that claims the MSM is actually “conservative” because it’s not treasonous to satisfy him. His photo looks like a genuine 1918 Bolshevik.

[Pharmboy]

This guy is a throwback to the hard-core commies of the thirties. He is dour, arrogant and nver in doubt about the wisdom of his thoughts.

Is there any chance that he could get the death penalty for this crime? It is, after all, the Live Free or Die state.

Eric Alterman Is the Aging-Lefty Lindsay Lohan
Lloyd Grove

Is Eric Alterman spinning out of control? After his arrest last night at the Democratic presidential debate in New Hampshire, where the cops cuffed him in a gymnasium “spin room” at Manchester’s St. Anselm College and hauled him down to the police station for allegedly trespassing at a private party, maybe Alterman’s friends and family should be concerned that he’s becoming the aging-pundit answer to Lindsay Lohan. The lefty commentator has a taste for mayhem, if only, until now, of the verbal variety. Over the past two decades, worried Alterman watchers have felt growing alarm as his pugnacity and all-around contrariness have escalated to potentially aneurysm-inducing levels. Indeed, when this reporter once shared a subway ride with him from the Upper West Side, he announced: “I am so fucking angry about the war in Iraq, I think I’m going to explode.” This reporter’s reply: “That’s fine, Eric, but if you’re going to explode, do you mind waiting till I get off the train?”
