Just heard this on the news, and if you don't like the source, I'll get a mainstream media story on it tomorrow.......

Tony Hopfinger, an editor for an online Alaska newspaper, was arrested by security guards during a meeting in Anchorage for Republican US Senate hopeful Joel Miller.

Hopfinger was detained for intruding on a private event at a school, said the Anchorage Daily News.

William Fulton, owner of the security firm hired by the Miller campaign, said they had rented the space from the school and had the right to declare anyone in trespass. He said Hopfinger was "stalking" Miller and posed a security threat.

Hopfinger, holding a video camera, said he was trying to ask Miller for a statement on why he was disciplined when he was a part-time attorney for the Fairbanks North Star Borough. After the candidate walked away, Hopfinger said he was surrounded by Miller supporters and security guards and felt threatened, so he shoved one of them, the newspaper said.

Hopfinger said a security guard took his video camera and when it was returned, the clip of the arrest was missing, the Daily News reported. The guard said Hopfinger dropped it and denied deleting the segment.

No other reporters were arrested, and guards tried to block photographs and videos from being taken of Hopfinger's detention, the newspaper said.

Miller has said he wouldn't answer questions about his personal history or activities, including refusing to respond to allegations he was disciplined for using government computers for partisan political activity when he was a part-time borough attorney. The Alaska Dispatch, the Fairbanks News-Miner and the Anchorage Daily News are suing to get Miller's full personnel file.

What the fuck, does the GOP need their own Blackwater type operatives now?
