Do you approve of media confronting Lois Lerner in her neighborhood? (Reader Poll)

Do unto others? Or, what goes around comes around
(Reader Poll at bottom of post)
Jason Mattera of the Daily Surge recently filmed an unannounced confrontation with former IRS employee Lois Lerner in her own neighborhood.
Lerner fled his camera and tried (unsuccessfully) to seek refuge in a neighbor’s home: ...
This may seem invasive and inappropriate, but as Jason Mattera asks her in so many words, is it any more inappropriate than the way Lerner used her position at the IRS to target average Americans?
In fact, this is a tactic the left has been using for quite a while.
In 2010, busloads of SEIU protesters descended on the private home of a Bank of America executive who they perceived as a political enemy.
The house was empty, except for a teenager who hid in the bathroom fearing for his life.
Nina Easton, who you may know from her writing and media appearances, lived next door and described the scene: ...
I’d really like to know what Legal Insurrection readers think about this. Am I making an unfair comparison? Was Jason Mattera’s ambush of Lois Lerner unfair or is it what Glenn Reynolds describes as punching back twice as hard?
So what do you think. After viewing the video, and considering how it must feel for any controversial public figure (do unto others?) to be confronted where s/he lives, was the questioning of Lerner a good thing?

My favorite part was her INSISTENCE that her neighbor let her in to call the police. Woman is too stupid to carry a cell phone?
Her sense of entitlement to use her neighbors to cover and hide just showed how truly arrogant these a-holes really are.
I applaud the reporter.

Yep, perfectly fine with it. Lerner is an enemy of freedom loving people everywhere. What she did was unconscionable. She is the American equivalent of Eva Braun and she should spend a long time in prison.
She was in no way physically harmed or threatened. She was only being chased by her guilty conscience.

If this is the only way the public has to hold these people accountable.... then this is what needs to be done.
If the critters don’t want to have this happen to them then they better not tread on us.

Where was this question when the occupy idiots were terrorizing the families of bankers in front of their homes?

Her neighborhood should have bars and stainless steel toilets. So, yes.

Personally, we should do this to Holder as well.
Make these bums fear leaving their homes.

I think the media should approach Obama on the subject.

Hound the dumb br*ad until she commits seppuku.
Bury her in a ditch.
Take a bodacious Obama on it.
Then set the thing on fire.

My favorite part is when the elderly home owner says he doesn’t want her in his home. I bet her neighbors don’t thing too highly of her either.
To: smoothsailing
I enjoyed every moment of the video. Even Lerner’s neighbors dislike her.
