Of course there is nothing in the video that could be a gotcha moment so the left...

You could see their plan in action in the video where Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. led a group of black congressman through a gauntlet of protesters as if taunting them to do something which would make them look bad. That didn't work out the way they planned (you never saw...

From FReeper RushIsMyTeddyBear in another thread, this one is awesome. I could post these all day. Just like the other one from earlier today, an Obot shows up by himself at a peaceful meeting, townhall or protest, and start yelling and screaming.
