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

You want to defend this be my guest. I won't...

I am not defending an act of violence, nor am I saying that Crowder got what he deserved. I'm saying that he's distorting the incident to create a narrative that didn't exist. He went in to report that union protestors are violent, mindless thugs trying to intimidate their employers, and unfortunately for our country, he was able to do that thanks to circumstances and somebody worked up enough to throw punches.

This is dishonest and dangerous journalism. This is why so many Americans hate each other right now. Because "journalists" are lying, choosing to incite hatred in order to make money rather than telling the truth and having to make it in journalism the honest way. Throwing a punch (or three) can kill a person (had he been Kermit Washington). Doing what journalists are doing these days contributes to a horrific string of awful, awful things happening in this country. Neither side is to be defended, bottom line.

"Today in the fake right wing scandal we’ll call UnionThug-Gate, we learn that provocateur Steven Crowder was not just standing there minding his own business when he was punched in the face outside the Michigan Capitol — he was shoving union members.

And how do we know this? From Crowder’s own words, in this smug, self-aggrandizing interview with Canada’s Fox News imitation, Sun News. The thing about dimwits like Crowder is that if you let them keep talking long enough, they’ll eventually out themselves. They can’t help it.

The pertinent section begins at about 4 minutes in, as the interviewer rants about thugs and asks why the police didn’t arrest them (maybe because Crowder never filed a police report?):

“I’ve been very honest about this, the fact that as they started ransacking the tent, yeah, me and some men went out there … and we didn’t get violent with them but we did try to push them off the tent. That is true. We tried to push them off the tent.”

That’s right, he’s admitting on television that he was the original aggressor in this incident, but edited his video to remove the part where he was pushing union members. Idiot. Another Breitbart invented outrage bites the dust.

Didn’t Fox News Contributor Steven Crowder Just Confirm He Started Fight With Union Protester?



Case closed.


STEVE CROWDER IS A LYING RIGHT WING THUG

So in your world stopping people from "ransacking a tent" by pushing them away makes assault ok. This is why our county is ****ed, people can't use common sense because they are to bent on ideology. In this case the jackass had no right to take down the tent and had no right to punch anyone that stopped him. Seems our country is being lost to tiny minds willing to justify almost any kind of **** behavior by their side.

Crowder is a lying piece of ****. There's a reason that union guy wasn't arrested, Chowder knows he initiated contact and now confessed it. He pushed the guy to the ground and then got what was coming to him.
 
Another one who isn't paying attention to what has been given. :doh
First of all Moot was wrong in her position. She was directed to the same video you were. She admitted to not watching it until much later, making her arguments irrelevant.
And it can be seen that I clearly understood which video she was talking about, which is why I kept directing her and even you to the one that wasn't edited at the time period in question. Do you not understand that?



We are talking about the video in the OP.
The video that Moot provided is the same that I previously provided for different reasons. It is not what we are talking about.

And it was clear that it was not what we have been speaking about as I mentioned exactly what we are speaking about how many times now? 8, 9, 10 times or so? Once specifically to you.


Do you not understand why I keep correcting folks and directing them to the video that isn't edited at the portioning question?

So why are you ignoring that to which you have been directed? Because it proves you wrong? Why?

Follow the link and watch the video.

No I watched the video she posted that is what I am going by that makes your points moot. That is something she has pointed out more than a few times. I have to ask if this is such a simple assult why havent the police filed charges or the dumbass the went out looking for a fight. My guess is there is alot more that went on

Earth to truckstop, earth to truckstop, come in truckstop: the man wasn't ransacking the tent. He was just standing there and Crowder put his hands on him and shoved him to the ground. The man got back and punched him in the mouth. Crowder was got what was he looking for. Thats the real world truckstop...over

That is a dishonest claim for which you have been proven wrong about more than a dozen times now. No wonder your screenname is moot...much like your arguments here...

Oh stop it. Crowder has already admitted he shoved the guy. Give an idiot enough rope and he'll hang himself which exactly what Crowder did during that Canadian news interview. The game is over and you're on the losing side....as usual.

It's the same short end of the stick people continually get when they continually believe Fox is actually telling the truth.
 
I am trying to figure out what is worse. A guy going to a protest to cause problems, pushing a guy to the ground and then crying about being punched. Or the people that still defend him. I vote for the later but I could be wrong. Crowder is one sick person, however that is par for the course for Fox News and it views. I swear that so called news station is worse than watching a Jerry Springer show. It takes a really sick business to hire thugs like Crowder to do this to people.
 
So this Fox News contributor is "sick"? Really?

Guess that makes me "sick" too for watching Fox News. As somebody who's very familiar with Jerry Springer, I am astonished that you would compare a legit news outlet whose slant you don't like to Springer. That's just silly.

Unless, of course, you can clue me in on the Pulitzer Prize-winning guests on Springer.

Fox News and it owners are not legit news. Look at the crap they pulled over in England hacking phones of dead people. Letting this guy lie on national tv. Just look at the election all thier talk heads saying Romeny would win. I swear there is more fantasy going on at Fox News than on the disney channel.

When you can muster the effort to spell Mitt Romney's name correctly, I'm going to take your opinions more seriously.

And yes, Fox News is legit, however much you dislike it or rely on sound-byte opinions of others. Don't watch it if you don't like the slant, but please don't dismiss the fine commentators from all the aisles who voice their opinions there.

I did a search on "Fox News misspells Romney" and low and behold Romney's campaign misspelled "America" and got called out by.....Take a guess...

Not what I was expecting.
 
Just wait.

There was LOTS of people standing around with cameras.

Including the one the cover image in the original came from.

Pretty sure we're being O'Keefe'd.
:doh
And?
You didn't see the alternate view video I provided?
 
You want to defend this be my guest. I won't...

I am not defending an act of violence, nor am I saying that Crowder got what he deserved. I'm saying that he's distorting the incident to create a narrative that didn't exist. He went in to report that union protestors are violent, mindless thugs trying to intimidate their employers, and unfortunately for our country, he was able to do that thanks to circumstances and somebody worked up enough to throw punches.

I don't normally like bickering, but I will say this.

No, my narrative is not off. He was an idiot looking for trouble and he got it. This doesn't mean the union folks who ere fighting are absolved of all wrong-doing. They're all idiots trying to show each other how tough they are.

Stop defending that douche.
Bs!
You said he went looking for a fight.
That "narrative", which is your "narrative", is off.

You have now changed that position to "looking for trouble".
And again that "narrative", which is your "narrative" is off.

The only thing that could make it correct now, is if you changed it to, he was looking to document any trouble caused by the demonstrators.


The only douches here are the ones who were trying to take down the tent and the ones who interfered with Crowder trying to stop them. Which is the very same individual that swung on Crowder.
Watch the video and see the "douche" try taking down the tent.
Watch as Crowder tries to stop him and the other goons interfere.

Haha apparently asking someone not to tear down a tent while people are inside is "just asking to get punched in the face" It's amazing how quick liberals are willing to overlook violence when it's occupy wallstreet or unions comitting the violence.
 
Police in Michigan are wondering about Crowder's state of mind

Michigan Police Question Fox News Contributor’s ‘Punch’ Story | TPMDC
Michigan State Police, who are ready to investigate and prosecute the man who punched Crowder multiple times on camera Tuesday

Hmmmm -- does make one wonder if there just might be some things about the punch-out that Crowder doesn't want to go public.
You have to wonder at the state of mind of the Michigan police if they've never heard of someone not interested in pressing charges.

And Crowder already issued his challenge to the guy.
He is waiting for the guy to come forward, yet it appears at least from the report that they are going to investigate and prosecute him anyways, showing that the Union thug was in the wrong and not Crowder.
iLOL

I swear! :doh Posting an article that basically destroys their own side. :doh What will Union supporters think of next? :lamo

What is even more astonishing to me, is that this video was posted long ago, and they all ignored it.

Yeah something tells me he won't take Crowder up on the challenge. Thats the thing about union thugs, they aren't nearly as brave when its one on one.

Part of me wishes Crowder would have thrown a knuckle draggin uppercut (like the guy on the bus) but I knew he was more concerned about the whole crowd jumping on him.

I'm guessing you have a point but am unsure what it is. That we all type typos? Or that persistently, and this has been persistent among a few who post here at DP, "Romney" is misspelled as "Romeny." Dyslexia? Internalized bias against gypsies? Who knows?

Well I guess the point is you and Fox are good spelling nazi's:roll:

:doh

Not even!
Totally wrong as everyone can see!


This has already been addressed.
If you had bothered to pay attention, you would have known that.


Watch the video that was previously provided.

You can see the person he pushed.
It wasn't the one in question.

The short **** in question was the one trying to prevent Crowder from defending the tent.





Remember, this is the second tent.
So what we have is a continuous act by Union thugs attempting top take down tents that people were in and that did not belong to them.

We than have Crowder trying to stop this one guy, with the short **** Union thug then interfering.


The only one who are the aggressors here are the Union thugs.
And most likely why the State Police are willing to Prosecute. Duh!
