Fox News Reporter Gets Hit While WI Protesters Scream ‘Fox News Lies’
Mediaite ^ | 2/28/11 | Matt Schneider

Posted on 02/28/2011 12:26:01 PM PST by Nachum

The Wisconsin protesters are getting restless and angrier as the chants of “Fox News lies” grew louder and louder around reporter Mike Tobin. As some of the protesters eagerly tried to block the camera shot, the picture then switched away from Tobin out on the street to inside the Capitol building. Tobin’s voiceover continued as he exclaimed “a guy just hit me.”

Tobin said he has received much heckling, and that a teacher even told him she hates him because it made her feel good. The “utter lack of civility and harassment of reporters,” as anchor Gregg Jarrett described it, is truly breathtaking and seems like a weird strategy to try and win support for one’s cause.

Watch the clip from Fox News below:

They can’t stand the truth getting out so they need to shut it down.

Pray for America

Tucson?

How about Germnay of 1933-38

These people are walking examples of answers to the question of “why did the German people go along with Hitler’s extermination of Jews Gypsies gays and other “undesirables”

If some of these folks had the chance to load Republicans and FOX reporters unto cattle cars headed east to re-education camps (or worse), they would do it, and self righteously

Exactly. These are the crackpots that are teaching your kids.

As I never get tired of saying: get your kids out of public schools.

I heard Tobin say to Geraldo on Sat nite that he looked into the eyes of the protesters and he saw pure hate. That was scary

As I understand it, Allahu Akhbar translates to Fox News Lies in Liberalese.

Rules of civility and maturity don’t apply to pig-headed, union thugs. Scum can’t help but be scum.

They are not the least bit interested in winning support for their 'cause.' They are out to intimidate with violence and threats of violence in order to get their way. They really don't give a damn what anyone thinks of them.

Just think what they are doing to the young minds entrusted to them. Absolutely criminal. Fox should consider filing charges against the teachers union for inciting riot and threatening their reporters.

I am afraid that this country is at a place where we still have a country or the Public Sector will run the country.

It controls all the new jobs and rules.

I saw on some Fox business show some fool say that the bondholders should take less and unions.

What fool would ever buy a bond from a state or city if that came true.

So where would a state or city sell a bond if you might have to settle for less, hell you might as well gamble in the market.

Unfortunately for them it doesn't matter who they intimidate this time. There is no more money.

No more. Period. End of story.

Their strangled, spittle-flecked, purple-faced rage makes me smile.
