Democratic Party Official Slaps Obamacare Opponent at Town Hall (w/Photo)

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.

Hmmmm...Treasurer of Hillsborough County Rat Party. Hmmm... Man, the mind just reels. And she's a volunteer. The mind just reels.

Zero wants war.

Be careful which union leaders you don't back down against! I had a labor union BA back me up against a wall with a snub nose 38 when I challenged him. He was a real bad actor, Jitterbug Jackson, he was the treasurer of local 300, Los Angeles, and stole the unions funds. 4 years later he returned and was elected president of the union.

I know the feeling, and I'm always careful because I have children. I also will not back down in a meaningful sense, although I may use a different approach in the face of a loaded gun (which I have experienced with union thugs too). We cannot let them learn that a loaded gun will bring them victory, or decent people will face more union guns than we do already.

This just might be the fellow in the middle:

That’s my point. We have become a nation of wimps when lawsuits evolve over petty issues.

They do have insidious tactics and their hypochritical tactics are as transparent as can be. America has unfortunately voted in a true thugocracy.

Obama/Pelosi et al are deliberately stirring the pot of anger. They want to start civil unrest at which point the FRAUD can then bring down the hammer as in Martial Law. This devilish POS is going to RULE America with an iron fist, one way or another. Mostly, he will use his past, Acorn, to do the deed for him. CO

Inexcusable behavior.

I would, however, like to know what Mr. Osteen was saying that sent her over the edge. Was he debating, or was he insulting? My suspicion is the former, but I'd bet it was a heated discussion.

Battery is the hitting, did she threaten him too?

And all accross the country, Dem government workers are busy digging up dirt on this poor guy so he can be the next Joe the Plumber.

You must not remember the physicist in Philly in 2004. The Union goons beat him and put him in hospital IIRC. The goons were ID'd and arrested, tried, and the judge let them go. There is no justice for us in the courts. We are now playing "Chicago Rules" He pulls a knife we pull a gun, he puts one of us in the hospital we put one of his in the morgue. Chicago Rules. It what he has asked for.

So be it. I know my rights.

Personally, I would have discretely put all 200 pounds of me on her foot, where the cameras would not have been focused.

It's clear that the Miracles are completely in the wrong. Osteen behaved with remarkable composure.

touching ony,

law does not require “a hit”

Well I’m a scant 125lbs so it probably wouldn’t have made a dent. :)

You don't "stand up" to Union thugs. You will get killed. They travel in packs so they can be "brave". Now when they are alone, as they inevitably have to eventually be, that is when you let a Union thug know that you understand anatomy, too, and you know what kneecaps are, too. There are AFL-CIO and SEIU offices scattered all accross this country. Addresses in the phone book. Folks with no neck come and go all day long. "No SOB ever won by dying for his cause, you make the other SOB die for his". Gen George Patton. Trumps Alinsky.

Great captioning. The only thing missing is a label on the rotund guy. Something like “dirtbag Dem lawyer.”

[throwback]

Get no disagreement there. I was pretty astonished when my male neighbor proved to be such a sissy girl as to charge my wife with assault. Actually that’s insulting to women. I think my wife could have taken him.

[wastoute]

Talk to the freeper physicist that was beaten by Union thugs in 2004 in Phily. Have you guys forgotten? We have been down this road. The judge protected the thugs. There is no justice for us in court. Forget it. There is only the justice we are willing to insist on.

He should make everyone on our side very proud. He's a shining example of a true patriot and gentleman, just as the Miracles are a perfect example of the arrogant asses on the other side.
