I'll ban the way you look.
Thanks.
"Yes, we've learned that the person who threw the punch is a Bush supporter paid by a Texas organization to punch misguided right-wing conservatives in an effort to make Kerry look bad. Mr. President, we urge you to stop these tactics at once and disavow the message, immediately. And, as proof, the media will confirm what I just said."
"Thank you, Terry, that certainly clears it up for the journalists here at CNN."
The best thing is it was witnessed (presumably) by a LEO and it was caught on tape. Because the tape was aired, the DA can obtain it and use it as evidence. This should be an easy conviction.
The name of this goon is a matter of public record, and should be made (very) public. Only this way can he, his family and associates be shamed into doing the right thing.
The party of union thugs shows it's true colors.
I have the entire video on my hd, but, as I said earlier, due to file size constraints, I had to edit some it.
The screen grabs reflect what is contained within the portion that I edited out.

I'll check around.
If its on video, the guy in the cowboy hat should press charges to identify the perp. Then take him to civil court for damages.
That's not saying much though.
So true! Professional liars, all.
Na, I just hope the kid sees the guy again someday................with no cops around.
Maybe he wasn't a swing voter, but a man holding a Kerry sign swung fast - with his fist - and connected with the cheek of a Bush supporter outside the Everett Events Center on Friday.
Otherwise, it was a mostly peaceful gathering of hundreds of supporters of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and President Bush drawn by Kerry's private appearance.
Police did not report any other disturbances. Everett police Lt. Butch Braley estimated a couple of thousand people gathered at the center.
"It was pretty low-key except for the noise," Braley said. "There were a lot of passionate people and a lot of shouting."
While a long line of 600 or so Kerry supporters waited to get into the invitation-only event, other Kerry faithful and ardent Bush counterparts held signs and waved to passing cars on Hewitt Avenue and Broadway.
Drivers honked their steady approval for one side or the other.
Kerry supporters outnumbered Bush supporters by roughly three to one. But the Bush supporters had bigger signs - a group of handmade, white-on-blue signs about 3 feet by 5 feet bore slogans such as "Flush the Johns," "Kerry is scary" and "Kerry against free speech."
Several Kerry supporters stood in front of the Bush signs waving their own, and in some cases followed those carrying the large Bush signs around, holding their own smaller signs in front.
"I would never dream of doing that to you," Bush supporter Jennifer Alexander of south Everett said to the Kerry supporter standing in front of her.
"I have a hard time believing that," responded Mike Monas, of Snohomish.
Cecil Chapman of Mukilteo said he and a group of friends made the Bush signs. Chapman dressed as Uncle Sam as "a way of drawing attention" to his cause of supporting the president.
A 52-year-old Kerry supporter was arrested after punching Perry Valentine, 19, who was holding a sign for President Bush and wearing a Kerry sticker on the seat of his pants.
The men were shouting back and forth when the older man swung, said Braley, the Everett police lieutenant.
An Everett officer quickly arrested the man. He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of assault.
