Byron York of The National Review had a great article yesterday about the devolution of the MoveOn Katrina Victims protest at the White House.
Dana Milbank of the Washington Post also wrote about MoveOn's troubled demonstration.
However, apparently both these fine observers of the scene had departed when the worst part of the MoveOn protest happened.
As Angelwood and I stood talking and debating with malingering MoveOn protesters, a man standing about twenty or thirty feet away from us was giving an interview with an independent D.C. journalist.
I recognized the man as a long time liberal activist from Florida whom we had first met during the build up to the impeachment of President Clinton.
Then, he was defending Bill Clinton, now he's trying to draft his wife Hillary to run for president herself.
It took a while for the man's name to come to mind. It was Bob...something.
As he was giving the interview, the man became agitated and started speaking in a loud voice. He welled up into a tirade and blurted out, "FReepers should be shot!"
I was looking at him as he said this, as his loud voice was naturally drawing the attention of those within ever-growing earshot as his decibel level grew.
Knowing he was out on the political hustings and has been on TV shows and been quoted many times in the press, I asked him if he had just said that we (Freepers) should be shot . I thought maybe he'd take it back and try to excuse himself for being so worked up.
But no, he responded, "Yes, you should be shot!"
He walked away after that. The police did nothing.
Angelwood and I left soon after. The man's name finally came to me. Bob Kunst, president of Hillary Now.
I suppose he's lucky the TV cameras were long gone by then. But there is an audiotape. There was a microphone right in his face when he yelled out, "Freepers should be shot!"
You too....come over here please.
That was a terroristic threat. A restraining order should be entered to prevent him from coming near you again.
FYI
The left would be stupid to start one.
We've got all the guns, remember.
Worry?
Get a restraining order not allowing him to come within 200 feet of anyone registered to Free Republic.
They sound just like David Duke, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations and Stormfront... and these guys probably do have guns.
Stunning, huh?
These people are insane. Their lust for power, unmatched.
I mean, they said so.
Not me .. WE HAVE THE GUNS AND THE GUTS!
And .. we outnumber them by what .. 10 to 1 ..??
Dont worry, be happy!
We've been at war with the 'rats for a long time now. We just haven't reached the shooting part of the festivities.
By whom? I thought left-wingers were pro-gun-control. Who will do the shooting, Mr. Kunst?
He actually gives his phone number at the bottom of the linked letter.
It seems that way to me. I was disappointed the police opted to not do anything about it.
And Bush should be punched.
The left is showing it's true colors.
From the NRO article:
"At that point — as if the Darfur din wasn't enough — a man wearing a "Hillary '08" T-shirt, who appeared to be with neither MoveOn nor the Darfur group, began yelling to anyone who would listen. 'No more Bushit!' he screamed. 'How much more can you stand? No more Bushit!'"
Same Barking Moonbat (BM for short)?
