Follow Up From Yesterday
Because I am an equal-opportunity denouncer of taking what should be polite disagreements in policy to an obscene level; this is also unacceptable.
Per Shakesville: Last month, a small group of McCain supporters were hanging out peacefully and distributing pamphlets at 51st and Lexington in Manhattan. For no apparent reason, a local Manhattanite went up to a middle-aged woman holding a McCain/Palin sign and started screaming at her. Eventually, he ripped the sign out of her hands, broke it, and then actually hit her with it, bruising her face in the process. While attempting to flee from the scene, the woman followed the attacker down to a subway platform and alerted the police officers there as to what transpired. When confronted, the attacker allegedly said the following:
"I don’t know why I did this. It’s just those signs, and this election, it has me so upset.”
Epic Fail.
