He's being Sun Tzu, rather than Ghandi. If I know there's a camera watching, and some Congressthug took a poke at me, I'd let the bastard do it. If I fight back- even if there's video of it- it'll be edited down and spun so that the great and noble Democrat public servant is just defending himself against some common right-wing hooligan. Every shot of him swinging will be edited out by the media.
This way, there's nothing for the media propagandists to grab ahold of to twist and manipulate. My nose'll be okay in a day or two- unlike his career.
If Joe Blow tries to do that to me- different story altogether.
Former bouncer also and Marine.
Yep. Agreed an all points. I just saw the MSNBC clip, and they edited out the inital strike to the cameraman. There is no way to get past these people on their own turf. That’s why dear leader will do his best to shut down the internet.
Perfectly and succinctly put. I am astounded at the number of bravado posts throughought the threads, railing about what the students should have done, and characterizing their restraint as passivity.
