Tea Party Protesters Attacked by Obama Supporter
I’ll update the details as they come in, but so far, I know that there was a Tea Party protest somewhere in North Carolina earlier this week, and as the video shows, an Obama supporter showed up, and started blaming this economy on Bush. Then they start arguing about the BP bailout and the Durbin Amendment. Next, the video shows the Obama supporter getting angry with the cameraman, telling him to turn it off. He then pushes the cameraman and his wife. It looks like the cameraman tries to get between the aggressor and his wife, and the Obama supporter punches him in the face.

Youfail has pulled the video. It’s a shame, because the video said it all. I have a shorter, poorer quality video right here, and right below, I have a good quality from another angle. We’ll see how long it lasts.

Alright, I’ve got the original video that YouTube pulled, but it’s hosted by Eyeblast.tv, and I haven’t been able to embed it here. However, if you’d like to view it, click here.
Nobody is talking about this. I only learned the names of the key players today, thanks to an article in News Blaze. Nathan Tabor, business owner and head of Forsyth County Republican Party, was leading a protest outside of Rep. Mel Watt’s Greensboro office on Tuesday 6/8/10. During the protest, union organizer Governor Spencer (also reputed to be the leader of the ’95 Greensboro K-Mart protests) entered the crowd and started shouting about G.Bu and Dick Cheney, saying they were responsible for the recession. Another protester argued with him, and brought up the Durbin amendment, and how Obama is practically writing BP a check. I’m not sure if anything transpired between this point and when Tabor’s camera turns back on, but Tabor claims “I turned my camera off, and walked around the corner to get my 5 year-old daughter, and turned around and he pushed me. And I turned my camera back on and asked him to stop pushing me.” That’s Tabor’s claim of what transpired while his camera was off. It sounds odd to me that there was no other aggravation involved, but until we see or hear something more, all we have to go on is the video and his interview, which is embedded below (thanks again to News Blaze). I, and my fellow bloggers, will continue to hammer this story home, because most of the “unbiased” media seems intensely interested in their own navels at the moment. Hopefully they wake up soon.
