thanks to
atrios, we find an
blah3 reporting on an incident in new hampshire where bob novak pushed down a dissenting citizen who was angry about the plame affair :
just got off the phone with symbolman - he was outside the merrimac restaurant in manchester, nh where cnn is broadcasting, and he said things got a bit testy when bob novak came out of the restaurant, heading for the cnn bus.
apparently, someone from the crowd got on novak's case, calling him a traitor a few times. novak went ballistic - sym decribed it as a 'lee harvey oswald moment' - and went over and shoved the guy, sending him sprawling.
the citizen, brad carr, has filed assault charges. blah3 suggest we all
contact cnn to ask them why dean can't get angry but novak can?
here's skippy's response to cnn:
why can bob novak be allowed to physcially push down a citizen (bob carr) in new hampshire because the man thinks novak's part in the plame affair was bad?
how is it that you can call howard dean angry, but you're ready to let something as bad as illegal physical assault pass on one of your reporters?
by the way, tell wolf blitzer (who argued with dennis kucinich) that the us went to war against japan and germany in wwii not because we wanted to change their regime, but because japan attacked us directly, and germany, japan's ally, was at the time invading and occupying other countries. in otherwords, they declared war on this country first.
don't you guys give your anchors some sort of mental health screening before you hire them?
addendum: we're not advocating dissent, but someone on the blah3 comments section posted bob novak's office number: 202-393-4340.
