Perchoutofwater Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Obama supporter assaults Tea Party protesterJune 11, 3:13 PMPublic Safety ExaminerJim Kouri An enraged supporter of President Barack Obama attacked former congressional candidate Nathan Tabor during a Tea Party demonstration in North Carolina. On Tuesday, the North Carolina Tea Party Patriots were holding a legal political protest against government bailouts. The Tea Partiers were demonstrating in front of Rep. Mel Watt's (D-N.C.) Greensboro, NC office. During what cops characterized as a peaceful protest, an enraged man, later identified as Governor Spencer began to shout vulgarities, disrupted the protest, argued with individuals and then became physically violent. Governor Spencer then punched the Chairman of the Forsyth County (NC) Republican Party, Nathan Tabor, a North Carolina business owner and a former candidate for the U.S. Congress. Investigation reveals that Governor Spencer is a union organizer, a socialist and a black liberation activist. According to political activist Bill Gheen, Spencer led the Greensboro K-Mart protests of 1995 and mobilized families, communities, and "the Pulpit Forum of Greensboro, a coalition of progressive clergy, to commit acts of civil disobedience." "The punch to Nathan Tabor's face in front of his wife and crying child was an assault on all Americans that value free speech and freedom to assemble. We call on President [barack] Obama to publicly speak out against this violence conducted by one of his supporters against his political opposition," said Gheen, the president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC). "We also call on the US Justice Department to file charges against Governor Spencer for violating Mr. Tabor's civil rights and violating the civil rights of all Tea Party supporters and Americans who wish to speak out against the President without fear of violent reprisals," Gheen said in statement released today. Following the assault -- caught on videotape -- Tabor went to the magistrate's office with police and a magistrate issued an arrest warrant for Governor Spencer. However, a black magistrate rescinded the arrest warrant and issued summons to appear in court to both Governor Spencer and Nathan Tabor despite the fact the responding officer testified he had seen the videos and that Mr. Tabor had committed no assault. Both magistrates refused to view the videos. "While the news media attempt to characterize Tea Partiers as violent racists who need to be watched, it is the leftists who are routinely used as goons by progressive organizations and create violence at peaceful protests by Americans," said former NYPD detective and military intelligence officer Mike Snopes.

School is out, they might learn something about our political system. I wouldn't take mine because more than likely they would be bored to death, but I can't see anything wrong with it.

I saw this today too. Not quite sure what's up with it. While Etheridge should never have put his hands on the kid, I'm not sure we're getting the whole story here, either. Somehow, I doubt either of the gentlemen in this thread qualify as "North Carolina liberals" Edited June 14, 2010 by billay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpwallace49 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 On October 31, 2006 Thomas Nelson released Tabor's first book, The Beast on the East River (ISBN 1-59555-053-4), in which he argues that the United Nations is in the process of undermining the sovereignty of the United States. Unlike many writers and pundits across the political spectrum, Tabor is not interested in UN reform or restructuring. He contends[9] that there are three fatal flaws that make the UN unfit for salvaging; it is ineffective, it is corrupt, and it is opposed to the principles of sovereignty and democracy. This guy is right up rattsass's alley! Down with the NWO!! Either way the guy is a nutjob and should be prosecuted for assault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billay Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) FWIW, the comment that precipitated the incident was Nathan Tabor's wife saying to the man, "Shouldn't you be at work? Don't you have a job?" Nevermind that all those white folks aren't at work either. I'll post the video shortly.

Duchess Jack Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 why point out 'Obama supporter'. Are you suggesting that his actions are typical of Obama supporters - because 2 can play that game. If not - than why not say - guy attacks tea party protester, or coca cola drinker or fantasy football player attacks tea-party supporter.

Didn't Obama recently tell supporters to go to those that oppose his policies and "get up in their faces"? The TEA party is in opposition to all of Obama's spending, so the Governor is doing what the thug-in-chief told him to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear, Obama told his supporters to "argue with your neighbors, and get up in their face." No, I don't think throwing sucker punches is what he meant. I do think this is a lot more typical of Obama supporters than it is of TEA party protesters, yet it is TEA party protesters that the media would have you believe are rowdy and uncivil.

Guy gets out of a car, starts yelling obscenities, and punches a guy, but this is what you focus on. Volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
