she put her arm on his shoulder...

I don't know, looked to me like she simply lost her balance after the whack job's whack. That was one angry lib.

She must be a GOP mole. This had to be Sarah Palin’s fault.
Or Bush’s fault. Or planned by the vast right wing conspiracy.

Liberals are all sweetness & light, peace love, dove, etc.///

Seriously, it’s a good look for them—they really took it in
the shorts with this loss. AFSCME, strangled in its cradle.

Gal next to her is all smiles until she figures out what just happened, then stops smiling. Same with Barrett.

If you watch the rest of the video, you see a couple of fairly large guys get in between the two of them. I imagine she was hustled out.

No sympathy here. When you lie down with dogs, you rise up with fleas.

Reaction of the smiling lady is a giveaway. The guy with the mustache behind the “slapp-er” has the same reaction.

If i were Barrett I would consider changing parties. He got a real close up look at the loonies in his party.

We don't want him. He's a real lib...

Poor libs - they really are so superior intellectually and morally, so much better in every way than all those who disagree with them - it’s just incomprehensible that people would find fault with what they believe, let alone so many people that they could actually lose an election - somebody must be at fault - like the dumb guy who actually tried to advance their cause for them - what a screwed up bunch.....

Can we get this woman a job on Obummer’s campaign staff? And maybe a gym membership?

"Runner-up?" Is that what we call the people who lose elections now? So, he made a strong showing and came in 2nd? Does he get a red ribbon? Sheesh.

I had trouble playing the original video link too, but the youtube version works. The original link had at least 10 javascript sites on it. For security, I disable javascript by default and then enable the sites I really need.

Didn’t look like it to me, looks like he barely reacted to it. If that was a slap of disgust, she’s either a complete weakling, or he’s got a neck/chin made of granite.

That was the best shot I’d seen of it.

What is it with women these days? They think they can slap guys at will. The media plays it up, and a swift kick in the groin by a woman against a man seems to be one of the funniest things writers can think up.

Where’s the media outrage at this? Where’s law enforcement?

There’s no love lost for Barrett whatsoever here, but if it now seems acceptable for the public to physically assault politicians, then tea party members and our politicians are vulnerable too.

How would we like it if someone walked up and slapped Michelle Bachmann? This woman should be charged with assault.

Dumb lady. He could have never conceded, it’s not relevant, either way he lost.
