If the Dems sweep the elections, this is just a taste of what they will rule lawful for the next four years.

Indeed, we are in deep trouble. I see little hope that the Republicans will become Republicans again and win either the House or the Senate. That leaves the White House, and with three Dims running there...

Mr Monbiot was blocked by two heavily-built security guards

Gee, how strange. Security guards are generally such skinny pansy types.

...they deserve a perfect conservative candidate...

Instead we got the 3rd most liberal sitting Republican Senator. He's almost a perfect liberal for Christ sake.

has escaped an attempted citizen's arrest as he appeared at the Hay Festival.

Can anyone give me a serious information about what EXACTLY happens during a citizens arrest? Was he supposed to handcuff Mr. Bolton?

What the heck is a "charge sheet?" Is that like a subpoena?

I think Bolton should have hired some experts, not as security, but to look like ordinary members of the audience.

While making him look like a stumble bum, they could have made a complete fool of the Moonbat, “accidentally” doing things like pants-ing him, having him appear to pinch women’s bottoms, squirting some really foul smelling liquid, or whiskey on him, and tripping him repeatedly.

He would probably be taken up by the police for creating a public nuisance.

If the Dems sweep the elections, this is just a taste of what they will rule lawful for the next four years. I do not think my fellow Freepers have any idea of what type of fascistic steel-booted thuggery will accompany a Dem takeover. Look at Colorado, where it has just been made illegal to discriminate against anyone else’s PERCEIVED sexuality, with both criminal and civil penalties for anyone the Gay Lobby deems to be offensive.

I fear you're right. I also fear that a John McCain presidency would do little to stop such insanity. The American voter wants 'change' so much they will probably ignore the pitiful performance of the 110th congress and elect a Democrat majority to the House and Senate If that happens they'll be able to bulldoze the ever-compliant McCain, who longs to be liked by the leftmedia, or override any veto he dares to sign, which will probably be about as many as President Bush signed.

Anyone who thinks a McCain presidency will somehow thwart leftist plans to destroy America from within is delusional and/or forgetting McCain's liberal leanings, fueled by his ego that seems to need constant media approval. A Democrat voting majority in both the House and Senate will be far more dangerous to our liberty than some Marxist wannabe like Barack Obama (or Hillary - a rapidly diminishing prospect) stumbling along, trying to avoid any conflict with Islamic radicals, as Bill Clinton managed to do for 8 years.

Sure...McCain is such a sterling example.

After all he is such a staunch supporter of Conservative issues lik the first amendment.

He'll be so busy bending over and grabbing his ankles (if he wins) to please the dems, poking us true Conservatives in the eye yet again.

The Guardian should change its name to match its methods and call itself the Zookeeper.

Under their law this "arrest" would be completely unlawful.

If it could have been lawful, then he (the moonbat) could have forcefully detained the person if he (the moonbat) saw and/or specifically knew that the person he stopped had committed an "arrestable offense" under their law AND that there were no law enforcement officers in the area that could make the arrest.

There is no such thing as a "charge sheet" for a "citizen's arrest." It was merely his "script" that he wanted to read aloud while doing this so-called "arrest."

It was nothing more than a cheap and silly stunt.

Be very afraid, the day when they could round up Bush, Bolton, Cheney, etc. for a trial at the Hague, ala Milosevic, may be fast approaching.

Could have used one slightly built security guard with a fully charged tazor.

Barking ‘Moonbat’ or Barking ‘man bait’, he’s still a little wuss that works at ‘The Gruniad’....clearly, as time goes on, it’s looking more and more like they’re gonna need us to pull their soon to be Islam-bait a$$es out of the fire again!

Lord Haw Haw was acting in a “personal capacity” too.

The Guardian should be careful about employing someone engaging in pro-terrorist propaganda such as calling out the US as engaging in an “illegal” war.
