Democratic Party Official Slaps Obamacare Opponent at Town Hall (w/Photo)
Friday, August 7, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/07/2009 11:14:57 AM PDT by kristinn

TampaBay.com has a great photo sequence of a woman slapping a man in the face at yesterday's explosive town hall meeting in Tampa held by Rep. Kathy Castor and the goons from SEIU and Obama's Organizing for America.

What the Tribune failed to disclose was the fact that the woman doing the slapping is a local Democratic party official, specifically the treasurer of the East Hillsborough County Democratic Party Club.

In the eight-photo sequence, two men are seen arguing face to face, with one man wagging his finger in the face of the other. A woman standing behind the finger-wagger reaches around him and starts to push the other man. She then steps forward and give the other man an open palm slap across the face. According to the photo captions, the woman, Karen Miracle, claims she was protecting her husband, Garry Miracle, who supposedly has a heart condition, from the other man, Barry Osteen.

In none of the photos is the slapped man seen extending his arms or raising his hands.

“It is STILL assault and battery. We NEED to CONSTANTLY file charges.”

You better believe it!

FILE CHARGES EVERY TIME, FREEPERS!

They need to be brought to justice, female, or not, if they get violent.

That lady would not have faced my wrath. But if the guy next to her did the assaulting he would have awakened prone a few minutes later.

Use the law before this gets out of hand.

Acts of violence will hurt the right at this point.

DO NOT STRIKE FIRST!

I know it’s tough at these gatherings, but try to stay out of range of blows.

Somebody pushing can be assault, by the way. If they aren’t law enforcement they have absolutely no business laying their paws on you.

No violence.


You are right, Boucheau. We don’t need to use their thug tactics.

Gen George Patton trumps Alinsky.

You don't "stand up" to Union thugs. You will get killed.

They travel in packs so they can be "brave". Now when they are alone, as they inevitably have to eventually be, that is when you let a Union thug know that you understand anatomy, too, and you know what kneecaps are, too.

There are AFL-CIO and SEIU offices scattered all across this country. Addresses in the phone book. Folks with no neck come and go all day long. "No SOB ever won by dying for his cause, you make the other SOB die for his". Gen George Patton. Trumps Alinsky.

Hi Freepers! Hubby and I were there in the “outside” crowd. We arrived at 5:30. There were easily 300 people outside in line when we arrived. We quickly learned that the room was to hold 200 with another 50 in the foyer there were many people already inside (hand picked audience).

Odd how the MSM missed the part about the "hand picked audience"...

“We have read the bill and know what it says.”

That has to just piss them off to no end, as they haven’t read the bill and they don’t know what’s in it. If it weren’t for DNC talking points they’d be mute. I expect that there are many who’ll vote on this who truly can’t read.

Then I’d like to see his candy ass living just one day like a typical communist subject.Obama too,for that matter.No chance.People like Axelrod make me angry beyond words.He wouldn’t make a pimple on the rear end of the real communists in the NVA we faced in Vietnam.Those guys were tough SOB’s and I have no hate for them at all-they were just fighting for their side.The Axelrods of the world exist to weaken the country which gave them privilege.He should die of a painful,slow diesease.

Her "slap" was very inappropriate. But in the film it is slow enough, and gentle enough to be deeply insulting but not damaging. The fat guy next to her, however, is an activist lawyer. I think it is safe to say that husband and wife were double-teaming, trying to start a confrontation in which Osteen (the slap receiver) would react to the assault and open himself up to a damaging lawsuit. He did not give them the pleasure. People should be aware of this sort of thing. My inclination (I'm no tough guy) would be that if someone put their hands on me, I would react very forcefully. I wouldn't put up with that crap. BUT these people are looking for that reaction and probably have compatriots rready to sue (or stomp) anyone who reacts to the Leftist's provocation. They've got insidious tactics.



I agree... the first thing I thought when I saw the photos was that it wasn't a very hard slap. It looked like it was staged; But when you said who he was (activist lawyer) and considering who she is, is makes perfect sense. And the guy asking the question was very smart for handling it the way he did. MAJOR FAIL for the bat/rat couple.

Holding one's temper and filing a lawsuit is the right way to go.

For now.....

.....there may come a time very soon where these leftists start a riot and it's every man for himself at that point.

I'm not a violent person, but I can see widespread civil unrest coming sometime soon, like in the next three years at the latest. I pray I am wrong, but I don't think so.

“Incredible! Clearly she AND her husband are the angry/out of control ones!!!”

Obviously. What do you have to say about THIS, Nancy Pelosi?!

“I’m guessing she’s the Karen Miracle who is Treasurer of the E. Hillsborough Democratic Club. Her husband, Garry (also pictured), is the Political Director.
It does seem unlikely that there would be two politically active Karen and Garry Miracles living in the area (if not miraculous).”

It would be possible (and, in my estimation, appropriate) if a fat old pissbag were to slap someone like that, to lift the right foot a few inches and bring it down hard with all one's weight on the instep arch of the attacker, snapping the long bones very painfully.

It would happen off camera, indeed, any onlooker would only see the pissbag slap you and then fall to the floor screaming as you stood there, arms at your side.

Ahhh. The timeless beauty of intelligent thought and considered action.

Note the the "throat beard" on the Hopey-Changey pig-dude (husband of the slappy pissbag). It's only reason for being is to hide his 6 chinflaps. What a beautiful poster-couple for all Liberals to be proud of.

"Hi, I'm Hopey-Changey" (Whack!) "Hi, glad to meet you, I'm Hopey-Changey!" (SMACK!)

Yeah, that'll win 'em over for Obonehead. Nice job "miracle" worker.

Disney World says if you have a heart condition, stay off the rides. I would guess even more so getting in a younger man’s face and screaming
