Tea Party Protesters Attacked in North Carolina

A peaceful Tea Party protest in Greensboro, NC (about 70 miles from here) was protesting over potential BP bailouts and the new Durbin Amendment to the finance reform bill that will increase fees for debit card use and pass those fees on to the biggest retailers. That's right, if you use a debit card instead of cash or a credit card it will cost you more, and the store gets it. In other words yet another bailout, this one of the largest stores.

A passing motorist stopped his car, got out and started yelling at the group, repeating the same old tired lies that it's all Bush's fault. (That's not to say that Bush doesn't deserve some of the blame but after 3.5 years of both houses of congress, and 1.5 years controlling the White House maybe it's time the D's started accepting a LITTLE bit of the responsibility.)

The erstwhile motorist then shoved a guy who had been doing a video, then shoved his wife three times. Naturally enough, he defended his wife by pushing the criminal Democrat who had just assaulted his wife away from her. This seemed so outrageous to the Democrat that he sucker puched the camera man. Most of this, including the sucker punch, was caught on video by another protester. When told the police wanted to talk to him, the criminal drove off.

There was a YouTube video up showing all of the details. By the time I went to post about it, the video was gone. It vanished down the memory hole, with a posted claim about a terms of use violation. Fortunately, someone uploaded it to EyeBlast.TV, and I've embedded it below.
