Fox News contributor punched in face at pro-union protests in Michigan [W:867]

Selective editing huh?




Union punks is what they are.
 
Looks like the leftwingers are alone on this one, I don't see any mainstream media sites carrying this.
 
Ahh, so your not above using violence, eh? Too bad you weren't there so you could show those 12,000 union members what yer made of. LOL

Watch out! Mr. Nick is a real bad ass, you know.

:lamo :lamo :lamo
 
Aren't Oregon and Colorado blue stetes? Just sayin'...

Do you think everyone living in both these states is a democrat?
 
I loved all the talk about "working men" and "real men". Anyone who describes people like that do so admiringly as though they are not one.

This guy who did the punching looked like a drunk waiting to get into an Eagles game.
 
His statement does not mean he provoked a fight.
Sure it does.

Secondly, you have no idea if the video is heavily edited or not. You want to say edited, sure, go ahead.
Sure I do. I can see it and I know what bad video editing looks like.

It is after all intended to show who these thugs truly are, which it does achieve. Of course editing is essential time constraints and to highlight the important parts.
Breitbart is famous for editing their videos to make their victims look bad. Thats what they do. Why would this stunt be any different?

And you might want to watch the video that was in the OP's article as it shows what can be seen of what happened w/o editing.

Again. Watch the video that was in the OP's article as it shows what can be seen of what happened w/o editing.]
I have watched the video...several poorly edited versions in fact.

Exactly. :doh
And how do you know what this this guy is saying isn't fabricated?
Because it supports your view?
Does he have video to support his claims? What was that? He doesn't?
Next!
How do you know everything Crowder is saying isn't fabricated? Because he supports your views? Obviously, he does or you wouldn't be here trying to put lipstick on the pig.

That is not what he stated is it?
How do you know? You can't even tell what an edited video looks like.

Here let me provide for you, what you already provided, to show that what you allege and what he said, are two different things.

"I went out here to prove the left for who they truly are. Certainly, these union thugs. And I’ve achieved that."
I stand by what I said. I'll go even further to add....

Crowder is 24 and lives in L.A. He's a has-been actor and failed comedienne and a member of SAG which is affiliated with the AFL-CIO. Thats a union in case you didn't know.

OH NOES, STEVEN CROWDER IS A UNION MEMBER!!!!!

Now he's a Breitbart provocatuer who traveled aaaaall the way across the country just to provoke the union protestors in order to make them look bad for his masters....and for the money. Oh did I forget to mention he's a smug self rightous Mormon?

Gee. One possibility could be to see how he was going to react to the man swinging on him and missing.
Well golly, did you see the video where the union guy is on the ground and everyone is staring at Crowder as if he had just punched the guy? NO??? Well dang, did you see the video where Crowder throws the first punch and the union guy ducks before taking a swing at him? NO???? Well did you happen to hear someone yelling "HE"S GOT A GUN" referring to Crowder as he tries to scurry away to hide behind the AFP thugs? NO???? Then WTF are you doing here on this thread insulting others with your stupid doh this and doh that? DOHHHHH!!!!!!
 
Don't confuse republicans and democrats with liberals and conservatives.

Mr.Nick made the post identifying Republicans and Libertarians. It was YOU sir who linked them to the civil rights issue…not me. Based on this it would appear that it was you who are/were confused.
 
Selective editing huh?




Union punks is what they are.
Only provocatuers that had no business being there in the first place would set up a tent in the middle of angry crowd that had just been decieved by their governor. What did they think would happen?

Going with the "they had it coming to em" defense? Come on.
 
Going with the "they had it coming to em" defense? Come on.

It's not that they had it coming, its more like they got they wanted.

Why were they there if not to provoke the very people whose livelihoods they are helping to destroy?
 
Sure it does.
:naughty
No, it doesn't.


Sure I do. I can see it and I know what bad video editing looks like.
Except for the fact that the portion of the video in question, isn't edited in the article of the OP. Go figure huh?
You are seeing what you want to see. Not what is actually there.
Duh!


Breitbart is famous for editing their videos to make their victims look bad. Thats what they do. Why would this stunt be any different?
One, that is an unconfirmed allegation that has no business in this topic. Two, this is Crowder, not Breitbart.


I have watched the video...several poorly edited versions in fact.
If you have, you did not pay attention.


How do you know everything Crowder is saying isn't fabricated? Because he supports your views? Obviously, he does or you wouldn't be here trying to put lipstick on the pig.
Your hyperbole aside, we are talking about what we can see in the video. Got it?


How do you know? You can't even tell what an edited video looks like.
A totally idiotic thing to say and contrary to what has been said. What a shame. You are just showing that you are not interested in the truth and only in defending Union goons.


I stand by what I said.
I am sure you do. Please continue, it is hilarious.


OH NOES, STEVEN CROWDER IS A UNION MEMBER!!!!!
iLOL
:doh
Yes he had to join. What is your point? You support being forced to join a Union is obviously one of them. What are the others?


Now he's a Breitbart provocatuer
Really? PJTV is now Breitbart? Strange.


who traveled aaaaall the way across the country just to provoke the union protestors in order to make them look bad
Already shown not to be true. To show them for who they are is the case. If they hadn't made themselves look bad they could have come across as decent folks. Unfortunately they caused their own problems.


Oh did I forget to mention he's a smug self rightous Mormon?
Whaaaaaa! Sniff, sniff, cry. He is a Mormon. As it has nothing to do with this, who cares?
But I do see you like trying to purposely demean other folks.


Well golly, did you see the video where the union guy is on the ground and everyone is staring at Crowder as if he had just punched the guy? NO???

Then WTF are you doing here on this thread insulting others with your stupid doh this and doh that? DOHHHHH!!!!!!
Holy ****! :doh
You are either blind, or purposely being dishonest. Which one is it?
Because as all can see, Crowder did not swing, and his hands are in the air, when the Union goon swung on him.

lol Trying to get away from a guy acting out violently is now "scurrying". You must live in La La Land.

And I already answered your first question. You obviously didn't care to read the answer, cluing everybody in to why you are really involved in this discussion. To support the wrong actions of the Unions thugs. Everything you have brought to this discussion supports that contention.



Only provocatuers that had no business being there in the first place would set up a tent in the middle of angry crowd that had just been decieved by their governor. What did they think would happen?
What a shame! Trying to justify the the wrong behavior of the Union punk ass thugs.
 
Republicans care enough to try disenfranchise black voters with voter suppression laws.

How is it not racist, or at least condescending, to assert that black voters are less able to secure photo id’s than other races? Is this not denigrating the race?
 
It's not that they had it coming, its more like they got they wanted.
iLOL
:doh
It is more like they knew how Union goons act and just wanted to document it.
 
Mr.Nick made the post identifying Republicans and Libertarians. It was YOU sir who linked them to the civil rights issue…not me. Based on this it would appear that it was you who are/were confused.

Do you think all union members are democrats? Do you think OWS people are democrats? If you do, you're wrong a second time.
 
It's not that they had it coming, its more like they got they wanted.

Why were they there if not to provoke the very people whose livelihoods they are helping to destroy?

The same reason why anti-gun advocates are there when the NRA has a rally, or civil rights advocates are there when the KKK has a rally, or when pro-choice advocates are there when pro-life has a rally.....

I could go on, but it should be clear that both sides of an argument can and should be present in these types of situations. In all cases, violence or threats of violence should not be tolerated for any reason.
 
iLOL
:doh
It is more like they knew how Union goons act and just wanted to document it.
Well, since there were over 12,000 union protestors there and thats the only skirmish during the entire event...it kinda stands to reason that the only people looking to provoke violence were the AFP and Breitbart thugs.

Existing provokes violence? You are better than that.

Where in my post did I refer to union member? OWS people?

No, it doesn't.

This is the video in question.....



At :37 Crowder takes the first swing and the union guy ducks. The rest is just squirmishing. And yes, Steve Crowder is a Breitbart activist and you're the only whose mentioned PJTV. Now why would you say that?


This is from the NYT.....


"Unfortunately for Mr. Crowder, a look at the video broadcast on the Sean Hannity show appears to show quite clearly that he left out an important section of the footage when he put together his edit. A section of the Fox News broadcast preserved by the Web site Mediaite shows that Mr. Hannity’s producers at Fox News started the clip five seconds earlier than Mr. Crowder did. What the extra footage reveals is the man who punched Mr. Crowder being knocked to the ground seconds before and then getting up and taking a swing at the comedian.

There is one more anomaly in Mr. Crowder’s edit of the footage shot by his associates. The still frame he used for the clip’s title image on YouTube, which offers a much clearer image of the man punching him, was obviously shot by a second camera, from an entirely different angle than the rest of the footage he presented of the man hitting him. If Mr. Crowder wants to clear up the mystery of exactly what happened just before he was punched, it might make sense for him to release any footage of the incident shot from that second angle....

It gets better, you should read it.

Mr. Crowder is a fraud.

More untrue information. Who would have thunk?
Besides you being wrong, there was no reason for the Union protestors to even approach the tents. None at all. They are at fault.

But on three occasions, troopers pepper-sprayed members of the crowd, according to a Tuesday evening MSP release.

In the first incident at the Capitol around noon, pepper spray was used to subdue a protester outside the state Capitol who had his hands on a trooper. Capt. Harold Love said the female trooper was being pulled into a crowd Tuesday. Love says a male trooper standing nearby gave two short bursts of pepper spray to end the incident. There was no arrest.

There were also a few minor calls for medical assistance and altercations. No major injuries or medical emergencies were reported to MSP.

Americans have been known for getting quite testy when confronting tyrants. I think a "punch in the face," is going to be the least of their worries should the tyrants insist on proceeding.

American's have guns. They will use them against tyranny. That's why we were given the right to bear arms. I hope it doesn't come to that in Michigan. I hope cooler heads prevail.

The tents and the people inside them had no business or reason to be there other than to provoke the violence they seeking.

Is that it? Whoop de doo or in your case doh dee doh.

[ Is that it? Whoop de doo or in your case doh dee doh.

Apparently expressing a different opinion in a public forum on public property is now provoking violence. In other words if you disagree with unions you better just STFU or you deserve whatever you get. Maybe union members should start wearing brown shirts.
