1. ron paul thugs is more like - what an ugly scene nt

[parasim]

5. An ugly scene. Yup. Thugs. Ya got that right.

And I typically don't condone that kind of behavior in the least...

But, I have to admit, I do find just a smidgen of glee seeing Sean Hannity hounded by an angry mob.

Hey, at least those weren't DU signs those guys were carrying.

10. Right on all counts!

The media pounces on this bullshit though. They LOVE it.

As if when, for example, Dean cried out, it somehow gave us an indication of how he would lead our country? Did that yell tell us anything about his health care plan? His education plan? His foreign policy?

No, of course not. His yell told us absolutely nothing about anything relevant.

A true "gaffe" to me is when a candidate screws up some facts and figures. Like mixing up Sunni and Shia for example.

But the mainstream media definition seems to be anything that can make the political blooper real, the more irrelevant the better. They want the political equivalent of slipping on a banana peel.

That's why I largely avoid the mainstream media for election coverage and opt for something better: http://bravenewfilms.org/election

12. Hey thanks for the link!

I had no idea that they had that there. I love their films. Yeah, that'll be a great way to get away from Hannity and Paul's gang of pitchforkers.

13. No Problem, Pass it on!

They covered the Iowa Caucus last week and it was awesome. Live chat keeps you active but there's commentary going on the the whole time too (obviously).

And that's a very good progressive guest list.

i'm glad the ron paul supporters are finally doing what every decent american should have started doing years ago. hannity, o'reilly and the rest of the fascist bootlickers need to be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

[Spiffarino]

18. I couldn't agree more

He's a liar and a punk. If it hadn't been Paul supporters, I'd have hoped it would be DUers. There are few greater assholes on the planet than Hannity, with the notable exceptions of O'Reilly, Coulter and Michael Weiner-Savage.

6. Hopefully the Media Smartens Up before it Gets uglier.

After all, this country was founded on a bloody revolution. Now THAT was an ugly scene. THIS WAS FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

[Naythan]

14. exactly. n/t

[nightrider767]

2. A feisty crowd!

Did you see that weasel run!?!

:beer:

3. K/R

4. This Should Happen More Often

Confront the media and wealthy en masse. For their actions carry much more consequence than being heckled even if it is intimidating. Nice wake up call.

[Caretha]

7. He helped create them,

It's only right he should have to deal with them :)

[Infomaniac]

8. Welcome to DU!

I share your sentiment. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.

[muntrv]

9. Sean finally sees what it's like to be on the receiving end of the right wing

noise machine.

[muntrv]

11. Watch fox snooze label Ron Paul a Democrat.

[unapatriciated]

16. or a tree hugging hippie liberal

since they don't have a clue what a liberal really is.:hippie:

[maxanne]

15. torches and pitchforks

I loathe Sean Hannity - but that was horrible to watch. If just one of the Paul zombies had picked up a rock, that would have gotten violent very quickly.
The mob mentality of Paullowers is frightening.

I posted a piece on my blog, critical of Paul - and within 15 minutes, I was getting anonymous hate mail. By the next day I was getting threats.

These aren't mere supporters - this is a brainwashed cult - impervious to reason or logic.

[MrSlayer]

17. That's awesome.

It's a shame they didn't swoop him.

[autorank]

19. I can't thank these people enough! K*R

That's inspiring. It's truly the best thing a bunch of citizens have done regarding the media
in ages. This is what they deserve, most of them, derision and heckling. It was just too much.

Funk ran this in the a.m. but it should go up every day for a while. I'll K*R it every time.

We've had enough of your b.s. and we're not taking it anymore!!!!!

Imagine how the smug snark felt walking along. Those Paulieis looked in shape too;)

My hat is off and I am in awe of their moral statement.

[Reader Rabbit]

20. FOX reaping what they've sown.

I don't condone this type of behavior, but considering that they've been encouraging just that kind of mentality for the last decade, it was only a matter of time before it got employed against them!

Look ma! Karma!
