		<description>&lt;p&gt;Awoken this morning by radio alarm with local yokel ‘news’ guy parroting dem talking points about ’stalking stark’ incident.  Then the first article I found was AP/bob lewis breathlessly reporting about serious-sounding ‘chokehold’ occurrence.  Uh-oh!  Citizen-journalist.  Vet!!  Ex-Marine!!!  It certainly sounded important.  Upon closer look, however, including at the video: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apparent known stalker menacingly charges public servant engaged in campaign of ideas, screaming and knocking into several bystanders.  When this ‘trained killer’ refuses to cease his attempted assault, he escalates the physical violence with those justifiably trying to remove him.  Finally subdued and shown the door, he mutters ‘punk’.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think Kerry was wrong and mean-spirited when he maligned our brave troops, stating that servicemembers don’t “make the most of it” (education), don’t “study hard, …do… homework and …make an effort to be smart”.  But these demeaning words would seem to apply to Stark. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stark’s website gives some clues about his depth of committment to and definition of free speech.  There he advises one to “study the terrain carefully before you join the battle”, the final step being the ’showdown”.  We see in the video Stark studying the terrain as he careened through innocents in his attempt to assault Allen.  This (one-man) mob rule is what goes for intellectual discourse for liberals.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems that Stark’s only other claim to fame is waving a poster with lurid words on it in front of a live-television camera during family hour.  Another example of liberals’ engagement in the realm of ideas.  Were those filthy words an ‘illuminative quote” from one of Webb’s porno works?  Will Webb have the guts to apologize for these apparent criminal acts of his agent provocateur?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Dana Bash virtually bashing the racist thug and showing video of Webb pushing Max Cleland’s wheelchair…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;heh, good one JohnSwifty! :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CNN covering Macaca and it’s not pretty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dana Bash virtually bashing the racist thug &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and showing video of Webb pushing Max Cleland’s wheelchair…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having seen Jim Webb in action, it was undoubtedly an honor to push Mr. Cleland’s wheelchair. People of service, such as Jim Webb is, are duty bound to offer of themselves. Unlike Allen, they do not need to dress up and act as if they are someone from a story book; rather, the REAL thing works for them. Go WEBB! And please allow me to extend my gratitude for standing up to this monolith of meanness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ditto!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;    Off topic, but I just called my Congressman’s office about HR 4239, the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, which severely limits the rights of animal welfare advocates “for any action that can be linked to a loss of profit to any company classified as an “animal enterprise”. An “animal enterprise” would include anyone who produces or distributes animals or products from animals, animal entertainment - including rodeos, circuses, zoos or aquariums, research facilities, pet stores and even animal fighting.
&lt;p&gt;    This means that legal activities such as peaceful protests, consumer boycotts, media campaigns legislative proposals, or even telling the public what happens in puppy mills, factory farms, or canned hunting facilities, could be classified as acts of terrorism.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    Hope everybody takes action on this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seven people - the “SHAC 7″ have been convicted  in Federal Court and were given prison terms undr this unjust act.  All they did was run a website.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Rethug authoritarians destroyed our Republic.  Let’s take the Republic back!  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kirk, more please!  This thread is very EPU, but if you could drop a note w/resources (blog?  link?) to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hotflash-hotflash.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;me&lt;/a&gt; that would be v cool.  Thanx&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;He wouldn’t even get to lay a hand on me before he was on the ground sputtering and coughing up blood, struggling to breathe…Then I’d hit the next one…and the next one…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is it with these lunatics?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d be on the ground yelling, “Don’t hit me, stop hitting me.”  Camera cellphones are wonderful.  Big Brother, we are watching back!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
