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 never cared about Tuscon in the first place. Posturing and proprganda...that’s liberalism.

When this very thing happened in Egypt, a lot of people sadly shook their heads and said (approximately) "Gee that's terrible, but what do you expect from a 3rd world country?"

We got trouble, right here in River City, folks.

Unions are the storm troopers of socialism. They should start wearing brown shirts.

“This is not playing well with the American public.Few had sympathy before and as the days go by and hey show how out of contro,l and spoiled they are the support they did have is dropping.Most I hear are saying “go back to work and quit b*tching at least you have a job!” “

Agreed.

Each state needs a proposition: “Do you agree to pay higher taxes, so state government workers can have better pay, benefits and retirement than you have?”

Yes that would seem to be the case. Betcha because of the union, he’s getting paid not to work and it’s near impossible to fire him.

Someone should organize a group from our side to go in after the union thugs have finally deserted and offer to clean up the mess the thugs left behind. Be sure to take a good PR person and drum up as much media attention as can be found in Madison... to show the vandalism perpetrated by the thugs before the grownups took over to clean things up.

....this all goes back to the White Hut and Dumbo’s goons like Trumpka and other Czar like union heads.......the bussed in paid demonstrators are no different then the bussed around agitators that Dumbo used to go after “certain” CEO’s. The teachers themselves SHOULD BE SMARTER than that to get “USED” like they are...

The union mobs are everything that the left have accused the TEA Party of being.

Jared Loughner is a tool of the left. Tucson was the Reichstag Fire. Minneapolis Moonbats continue to claim Loughner was a “teabagger” responding to commands from Sarah Palin. I just wonder what some of his coached responses will be during his trial.

Can you tell me the difference between these thugs and Hitler’s Brownshirts? They would get in the streets and beat up Communists, Jews, Christians or any other group that did not go along with the Nazis.

Yes--and he talked about how the demonstrators tried to wreck every shot so they couldn't make any on-air reports.

The Obama Administration identified Fox News as the enemy in 2009--they are just following through with direct action.

"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"

I hear you. But what's going on here is more closely related to Egypt, that dumpy Islamist nation that persecutes Christians and other "infidels". We've sunk to their level of lack of civility. The Egyptians also attacked reporters, and became unruly and ugly, like our own union thugs who are jacking up the private sector workers to pad their own wallets. It's robbery, pure and simple. They want to sit down and "bargain" with OUR money, while WE aren't present at the table.

Union workers who labor in the trades do work very hard, but the police, fire, teachers, city & town workers, ... gimmee a break. We all know they don't break a bead of sweat, unless they're cops working in big cities. Otherwise it's a ruse, a scam, a fat cop on the corner drinking coffee as he dilligently observes the private sector men slaving away repairing the streets, electric lines and water pipes. Why, shazaam, I even saw one of these high paid cops, (in our town up to 200K with special duties such as I just described), actually move around a couple of orange cones, just to look busy. LOL. What a scam they got going, at the real workers' expense.

Today there's a new "little guy" on the block, it's the average American private sector worker who is getting financially raped by union 'workers', er, ah, scammers, who do as little work as possible, with the worst attitude possible to boot.

I wish Geraldo had enough guts to go to Madison and try to speak with these thugs. Too bad Geraldo’s such a coward masquerading as a tough guy.

These teachers are a hateful demonstration for their students. No wonder public schools suffer. If we need to balance the budget then fire the hate mongers. Our kids deserve better.

Watched the clip twice and did not see the hit. My screen is a little dark, could someone point out the timing mark for the hit?

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

Whe Obama made the phone call to his minions of union people to get out and demostrate - is this the result? Well, America is seeing the ugliness of liberalism and if these people and their anger wouldn’t change ones mind nothing will. These are Obama thugs.

“They really don’t give a damn what anyone thinks of them.”

True. They just want what they want. Once you give people something they will not give it back easily.

Audacity is on their side.
Their audacity and gall beats numbers... so far.

Their opponents have the numbers, if they’d just use them.
