RECALL SUPPORTERS ATTACKED IN SACRAMENTO

PROTEST AT TAXPAYER-FUNDED ANTI-RECALL WORKSHOP TURNS VIOLENT - DAVIS THUGS ATTACK RECALL SUPPORTERS

ATTACK CAUGHT BY FOX NEWS CHANNEL CREW

Charges To Be Filed as Recall Supporters Rushed to Emergency Room

(SACRAMENTO) – Recall Gray Davis supporters were violently attacked a little more than one hour ago by Gray Davis supporters. Those who were assaulted have been taken to a local hospital emergency room in Sacramento.

A protest was underway against taxpayer-funded “Workers Against the Recall” workshops that were being led by a coalition of labor union organizations including the publicly-funded University of California Institute for Labor and Employment (UC ILE). The UC ILE received $4,000,000 of taxpayer’s money in the budget signed by Governor Davis one week ago (Saturday).

Protestors were across the street from the event marching peacefully when Davis supporters rushed across J Street in Downtown Sacramento and began beating recall supporters. Davis thugs also attempted to steal and destroy “YES on RECALL” signs from recall supporters.

“Gray Davis’ anti-recall campaign continues to stoop to new levels. The use of taxpayer money to fight the people’s recall campaign is revolting. The use of violence and physical attacks against recall supporters is disgusting and reprehensible. We call on Governor Davis to save any last shred of decency he has and condemn the use of violence against innocent citizens,” declared Recall Gray Davis spokesman, Joe Wierzbicki who was present at the protest.

Liberals fear the loss of power more than they fear contagious diseases.

Thugs will be thugs.

Didn't I hear that the Clintons were lending their support for Davis?

Yup......it's the Clintons all right.

Time to dust off the body bags.

59 days and counting.

So it really was pretty tame? (My kids are watching a video - can't get the T.V. to Fox right now)

Gum

[Lunatic Fringe]

Did anyone get this on tape? Network? anything?

only 3 hours and 50 minutes left for a Democrat Miracle to happen - their window of opportunity is closing.......

Leftists: The epitome of hypocrisyDESPARATION!

So much for the long lost ideals of doing the peoples work they, oh so cherish and profess in their politics!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Well we may never know, because the idiot cheeseball producers at FNC can never show more than 5 or 10 seconds of videotape, played over and over and over and over and over...

[Hank Rearden]

If anyone was taken to the hospital, there had to be more to it than this. Maybe???

Or maybe they're just trying to hype it into a "big story". Fox News being so tabloid lately, we'll probably see this "fight" rerun about 10 zillion times on their clip shows this weekend. In between coverage of Lacy and Kobe, of course. You know, the important stuff.

[bluesagewoman]

You guys be careful out there!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

only 3 hours and 50 minutes left for a Democrat Miracle to happen - their window of opportunity is closing.......

Fair play and rules mean nothing to Democrats.

Just ask the Republicans in New Jersey!

[Joe Hadenuf]

Damn union parasites......

[CounterCounterCulture]

The union thugs looked that they were more interested in holding up their paid-for signs for the cameras than checking on who was injured.

[Hank Rearden]

So it really was pretty tame?

It was less than tame. It was nothing. High school pep rallies are much more threating and dramatic.

Gee, you mean to say that they beat NBC to it? I'm shocked!!

[hole_n_one]

How do you know there wasn't more to the incident that wasn't captured on video?

[Republic]

It is important that FOX NEWS CABLE be emailed by more than one and TOLD that their banner on the screen is INCORRECT. The UNION THUGS of Grey DAVIS approached the pro-recall rally and ATTACKED. This fight was INSTIGATED by the UNION THUGS. This MUST BE THE HEADLINE IF FAIR AND BALANCED IS THE FOX NEWS MANTRA!

[The_Media_never_lie]

Has CNN shown this yet (presuming someone here watches CNN)?

[yield 2 the right]

To Gray Davis and his supporters peaceful and violent alike.

Oh come on... STOP WHINING! You kids are soft! You lack discipline! WELL I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU, YOU ARE MINE NOW! YOU BELONG TO ME!

How do you know there wasn't more to the incident that wasn't captured on video?

Because the whole point of this lame, stupid thread is how Fox News caught the "incident" on video. Some union thugs ran across the street, apparently shouted stuff for a few seconds and pretty much dispersed.

You think Fox would have cut the clip short if the "good stuff" happened after the portion that was aired?

My guess is some pansy got a nosebleed and decided to head for the ER to make sure it got "Fox News ALERT" coverage.

[spokeshave]

So greyout davis calls in the National Guard and stops the election "for the children" don't you know.

[Semper911]

I just saw the video. With all due respect, it looks like absolutely nothing to me. Looks like 10 seconds of pushing and shoving.

Hardly an attack, and I can't imagine how anyone was injured, except if maybe someone got the corner of a sign in his eye.

I appreciate your efforts in this issue, but c'mon now.
