High time we started beating the snot out of you progs. No way we should put up with all the violence directed against us. We need to fight fire with fire. Good on Trump for inspiring this.

Hmmmm, which to believe?

“Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed in his face,” Scanlon said. “Jacobs grabbed Greg’s wrist, and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground. It’s unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene.”

Judging by the media's anti-Trump binge drinking that's been going on, and the violent behavior all the progtards lately, I wouldn't be surprised if this "journalist" purposely provoked this behavior, to spin it into a gotcha moment, the night before an election, to sway the vote. That, or it was Russia......

What a dilemma for you guys. Who do believe, fox reporters or a millionaire screaming liberal media.

There were several Fox "News" reporters in the room that corroborate the reporters version and directly refute the candidates.
The candidate was charged with a crime.
Believe that.

Probably too late for the election, the jerk was ahead by 6% in the polls (should be 25%, except for the Trump dump effect) and vote by mail was already 2/3 in.

Ah, now you're talking like ISIS. You know they justify violence using the same argument. You're in good company now.

Episodes like this appeal strongly to the 38% deplorables. But it will lose them the middle that they narrowly swayed last fall.

So go ahead, beat up some reporters. Knock the shit out of Andrea Mitchell next time. Grunt a little bit, the MAGA crowd will love it.

But it may be the other side who chants "love [him] up".

It is hard to tell what happened here without the visual to go with the story. What do reporters have the right to do? At what point have they gone too far? I typically enjoy seeing reporters thrown to the ground or having their cameras broken, after harassing someone or if they take it too far. Do you have the right to harass someone, without repercussion, just because you work for a newspaper or television station? Typically these needle-dicked twerp reporters/paparazzi act all emotional, while they are celebrating on the inside because they know they are going to sue the shit out of whomever just gave them exactly what they were asking for.

It's Montana, where the people vote red and the sheep are nervous.

The simple fact that this election required so much money and GOP effort to win (I assume they will) bodes quite well for us non-neanderthal progressives.

That you are so quick to project tells us a lot about how easily and hopelessly your mind is fucked.

Fox likes sensational stuff, it sells advertising, and they need to offset the Oreiley/Hannity hemorrhage somehow

Wow.
I really had nothing to say to something as twisted as that.

But John Schindler(@20committe) gave me the words:
"If assaulting journalists gets normalized, eventually people will start killing them.
Just like in -- what a coincidence -- Putin's Russia."

Normalization of violence is all part of the trump alt-right movement.

It will be interesting to watch the effect it has at the polls. I think there were a lot of people who find this stuff reprehensible who were swayed to vote for trump because they didn't like Clinton and just to see what might happen.

The violence will always appeal to the fascists and wanna be fascists among us, but I don't think it's a sustainable movement in the USA. I predict a backlash.

More often than not, violence against reporters is not justified but when it is, it really is. Whether I like the person being harassed or not doesn't make any difference in whether I think the reporter deserves what they get. That's why I asked the question, at what point has a reporter gone from reporting to harassing? Where is the line because there is a line and it does get crossed. What should people be expected to tolerate and what behavior is not acceptable? We weren't able to see what was going on in this room or what the history was with these two.

Violence against a reporter is justified if they are hitting you with a camera or stabbing you with their pen.

Yeah, that happens a lot. Note that paparazzi are not reporters.

Freedom of the press is a fundamental right here. If you support curtailing that right you must be working on your goose step.

Violence and intimidation against Republicans are quickly becoming the new normal in an increasingly tense political climate.

In one of the most recent incidents, police in Tennessee charged a woman with felony reckless endangerment on Thursday for allegedly trying to run Republican Congressman David Kustoff off the road after a town hall. The woman, Wendi Wright, was reportedly enraged over Kustoff’s support for the American Health Care Act and screamed at the congressman and his aide, striking his car windows and reaching inside the vehicle.

The same day that Tennessee police charged Wright for reckless endangerment, police in North Dakota escorted an enraged man from another town hall after he became physical with Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer over his support for the GOP Obamacare replacement. “Will the rich benefit from, if the health care is destroyed, do the rich get a tax break? Yes or no?” the man shouted, before shoving cash down the congressman’s collar. “There you go, take it.”

CNN’s Poppy Harlow downplayed the incident, saying the man was “showing his disgust” with Cramer.

The day before that, a Huffington Post article that showed “how to really turn up the heat on elected officials” went viral. The author, Michaelangelo Signorile, called on protesters to harass Republicans at dinner, when they’re out shopping and even at home. Societal norms for the basic levels of decency one should afford political opponents, Signorile argued, no longer apply to liberals.

“It’s time to move beyond polite protests within specified boundaries. It’s time to escalate the expression of our outrage and our anger in a massive way,” he wrote. (RELATED: In Their Own Words: Anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ Leaders Say They Want To Make America ‘Ungovernable&rsquo

Starting today and from here on, no elected official ? certainly those in the GOP defending and supporting Trump on a variety of issues, for example ? should be able to sit down for a nice, quiet lunch or dinner in a Washington, DC eatery or even in their own homes. They should be hounded by protestors everywhere, especially in public ? in restaurants, in shopping centers, in their districts, and yes, on the public property outside their homes and apartments, in Washington and back in their home states.

Signorile’s article has already been shared more than 29,000 times.

Political violence has been increasingly common as left-wing organizations have whipped up mobs against Republicans and supporters of the president. (RELATED: Leaked Audio Reveals Anti-Trump Forces Manufacturing Hostile Town Hall)

A popular parade in Portland, Oregon last month was cancelled after threats of violence against one of the groups participating — a local Republican organization.

An email warning parade organizers promised 200 or more protesters would rush into the parade and drag the Republican marchers out, if that’s what it took to keep them from participating. “You have seen how much power we have downtown and that the police cannot stop us from shutting down roads so please consider your decision wisely,” the email warned. Portland has been a site for organized left-wing protests, which have often turned into violent riots. (RELATED: Leader Of Portland Anti-Trump Protests Charged With Sexually Abusing A Minor)

The threat was sent from an email address registered with RiseUp.Net, an organization that is open about “providing communication and computer resources to allies engaged in struggles against capitalism and other forms of oppression.”

The Oregon threat was credible in part because Berkeley, California has become a literal political battlefield on multiple occasions now, after far-left groups have resorted to violence to keep Pro-Trump speakers (or, in one case, free speech marchers who happened to be Trump supporters) from appearing in public.

Pro-Trump speaker Milo Yiannopoulos had his speech at the University of California-Berkeley cancelled after rioters set the campus ablaze in order to keep him from speaking. (RELATED: ‘INFERNO’ — Milo Speech Cancelled After Rioters Set Campus Ablaze [VIDEO])

Political commentator Ann Coulter, who staunchly supported Trump during his presidential campaign, had her speech at UC Berkeley cancelled after the protest groups vowed a repeat performance of the Milo riots. (RELATED: Documents Tie Berkeley Riot Organizers To Pro-Pedophilia Group NAMBLA)

A North Carolina GOP office was even firebombed a month before the election, and a building adjacent to it was spray painted with graffiti: “Nazi Republicans get out of town or else.”

Being a Republican in high school or college is increasingly treacherous — and not just at Berkeley.

Shortly before the election, a female high school student was attacked after declaring her support for Trump. A fellow female student took the girl’s glasses off and punched her in the face, saying, “Fuck you, you bitch.”

Olivia Corn, president of Cornell University’s College Republicans, said she was physically assaulted the night after Trump won the election. “Fuck you, racist bitch, you support a racist party,” her attacker reportedly said. Ironically, Corn said she was “not Donald Trump’s biggest fan,” and added that she “was saddened that I was not afforded the same respect that I offer others.”

A Maryland high school student wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat after the election was punched and kicked by students protesting Trump after he started arguing with them.

Similarly, police in Florida arrested a 17-year-old high school student after he punched a classmate for carrying a Trump sign at school.

“It definitely had a political motivation,” said Lt. Mike Bandish of the Palm Bay Police Department. “The boy was carrying a Trump sign and walked into the gym. The other boy punched him in the face.”

Right wingers tend to support violence as long as there is little to no personal risk, but become snowflakes when confronted with thing like tough questions, constituents seeking redress of grievances, and reality in general.

Reference Somebody's cut-n-paste. Plenty of examples of people who wanted to get on the "in your face" MAGA bandwagon, then faced the consequences. Go around wearing the "trump that bitch" T-shirt, don't cry when a bitch trumps you right back.
