Democratic Party Official Slaps Obamacare Opponent at Town Hall (w/Photo)
Friday, August 7, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/07/2009 11:14:57 AM PDT by kristinn

TampaBay.com has a great photo sequence of a woman slapping a man in the face at yesterday's explosive town hall meeting in Tampa held by Rep. Kathy Castor and the goons from SEIU and Obama's Organizing for America.

What the Tribune failed to disclose was the fact that the woman doing the slapping is a local Democratic party official, specifically the treasurer of the East Hillsborough County Democratic Party Club.

In the eight-photo sequence, two men are seen arguing face to face, with one man wagging his finger in the face of the other. A woman standing behind the finger-wagger reaches around him and starts to push the other man. She then steps forward and give the other man an open palm slap across the face. According to the photo captions, the woman, Karen Miracle, claims she was protecting her husband, Garry Miracle, who supposedly has a heart condition, from the other man, Barry Osteen.

In none of the photos is the slapped man seen extending his arms or raising his hands.

The fat guy next to her, however, is an activist lawyer.

Do you know this for a fact (have a name)?

FoxNews, Drudge, et al might be interested.

I just got off the phone with the clueless GOP. I told them that they needed to put out a statement condemning Obama for calling out his goon squads from Acorn and SEIU to beat up on the citizens of this country. The guy was clueless!

I told him to go look at the Liberterian Party’s statement for a clue.

Please call the GOP folks! This is OUTRAGEOUS!!

From Pelosi/Obama on down, the Hopey-Changers are being frightened into more and more irrational rhetoric and action...

You are correct, we are winning. The more irrational they become means the more the State news media is going to have to cover this monstrosity.

It's known.

I got this from another thread, courtesy of GAgal:

The fat guy, whose wife is shown slapping the anti-Kill Granny protester, is a personal injury lawyer...i.e. ambulance chaser. Both Miracles are local Dem officials. Garry Miracle: http://www.miraclelawyer.com/page4.html

Good catch—so a local Dem official slapped a guy at the healthcare meeting, claiming she was defending her (large) husband with a heart condition. You couldn’t make this stuff up!

This is the kind of supporters that the brainless offspring of Betty Castor (major FL RAT operative) attracts. She voted against her own constituents’ livelihood when she supported the egregious tax on cigars attached to SCHIP. She even introduced the bill in the House at the behest of her slave-mistress Pelosi.

I don’t think it’s a slap either...see her fingers in the last pic actually are pushed into his face and the guy looks mildy bothered, but not stunned like one would look when slapped. I think her goal was to push his face out of her husband’s face. Hubby must be so proud that wife must step in and take up for him.

Still highly inappropriate of her to touch him at all, however.

Looks like Salacious Crum defending Jabba the Hut. If it were me, I would have told Mrs. Karen Miracle to remove her hand before it got broken.

Lurker, here is the question.
You go to a peaceful citizens protest and some clown slaps ya. Do you knock them on their ass? Even if it is a short fat ugly democrat is a she beast?

Why don't people who are assaulted at these meetings press charges. Where are the conservative attorneys to file lawsuits against these ACORN, union and Democrat Party thugs? Get off your asses people. Get organized. These law abiding citizens who are merely trying to exercise their constitutional rights to free speech are being assaulted. Why don't the incompetents in the Republican Party and the so called conservative leaders start filing lawsuits against these thugs. Get evidence. Follow through. Bankrupt these Stalinist thugs.

Indisputable visual evidence of assault and no one gets charged? It’s a Miracle!
