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.

Maybe a Marine over 65 should attend some of these “meetings”.

If he got slapped,he could kick a$$ or sue.

I dunno, but it seems to me the old biddy will get angry enough on her own, and she’s apt to pop a few blood vessels or shock her heart into infarction; I mean, she’s so out of shape she’s likely to keel over just picking up a do-nut.

It looks as if she merely pushed his face to the side, to stop the in you face confrontation. The problem is, this constitutes assault.

You cannot touch others in situations like this. You either keep your hands to yourself or you walk away.

“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.

I am just thrilled at how engaged Americans are. These people MUST BE STOPPED.

Stay the course.

Film EVERYTHING.

And do not be intimidated by their tactics—whatever form they may take, from whining to violence.

The left is RELENTLESS in their attack on your liberty so you must answer with your resolve and your own brand of ‘RELENTLESS’.

I’ve heard cops were present in some instances and did nothing.

FIRST ST. LOUIS ASSAULTS AND NOW THIS! WE NEED TO KEEP THE TWO ASSAULT STORIES IN THE NEWS AND MAKE SURE THEY REACH FOX, DRUDGE, ETC.

We also need to remember to not act uncivilized like they are. Conservatives and libertarians usually encourage debate. Liberals hate it.

That is assault. If she wanted to separate him from her hubby all she had to do is step in between them, problem solved.Or she could have just pulled her husband away and reminded him to keep his blood pressure down.If nothing else she could have told the guy he was arguing with that her hot tempered husband had a heart condition, the argument would have probably stopped at that point because most people won't argue with a heart patient.

Let’s say that the assaulter and her husband have never turned down a meal.

That's called "misfeasance" and the State Police should be notified of it.

If you look at the pics, the man on the right stays in one spot. The man on the left moves into his space and gets in his face. At first I thought the woman was just pushing his face away from the other man, but if you look, there is an open palm first. Impossible to tell from still pics exactly what happened, but she had no right to touch him at all.
