Turns out it wasn't the Union members who where the "thugs", right Fox?

The liberals needed the Newtown school shooting to drive union thuggery off the front page.

Unions and democrats are getting pathetic and showing their true colors. It's very scary.

Unions and democrats are getting pathetic and showing their true colors. It's very scary.

True colors, -pewsh!- How many times do rightwingers have to get busted editing tapes for y'all to WTFU?


We'll have to wait for a final determination after the investigation is completed and/or what a jury and/or judge rules but-----but witnesses are already claiming Crowley was intentionally trying to provoke peaceful protestors. One witness even went so far as to claim, "[Crowley] wasn't going to go home until he got punched."-----I would say, go home before getting a punch caught on Foxaganda tape, but that's just me.


Below are excerpts from the Huffington Post article


Steven Crowder Punched: Man Claims Fox News Contributor Goaded Other Union Protesters



>> A Lansing man who joined the protests Tuesday against Michigan's controversial right-to-work legislation claims that Steven Crowder, the Fox News contributor who was punched by a protester, had goaded pro-union activists prior to the apparent assault, a claim Crowder vehemently denies.

Ken Spitzley, a state agriculture department employee, told HuffPost that he walked to the protest at the state Capitol during a break from work and that he witnessed Crowder getting in protesters' faces.

"He was just after everybody," said the 56-year-old Spitzley, a procurement technician whose workplace is represented by the United Auto Workers. "There was no question he was there just to start a fight, to start some kind of trouble."

>> "I definitely provoked them," Crowder said. "I was asking them basic questions."

>> Spitzley said he did not witness the punching incident or the exchange leading up to it. But in Spitzley's estimation, Crowder "wasn't going to go home until he got punched."

>> In an appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News show Tuesday night, Crowder described the punches as "completely physically unprovoked." "Apparently, I provoked them by asking them, why are they against right to work? By asking them, what about somebody in Michigan who might want to work for a company and might not want to join a union?"

>> An edited video that [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=u_F3oev06i0"]Crowder posted of the scuffle[/ame] shows a man punching Crowder repeatedly and another man grabbing him from behind after he'd walked away. The video, which due to the editing does not show what immediately preceded the punches, has become perhaps the most prevalent image of the Lansing protest, with conservatives holding it up as evidence of union thuggery and many labor activists ruing the bad publicity.

>> Lt. Kevin Sweeney, a spokesman for the Michigan State Police, told HuffPost that a total of three arrests were made during Tuesday's protests, although he could not say whether anyone was arrested for punching Crowder. Sweeney said police were generally pleased with the relatively few number of incidents, given the "passions" surrounding the right-to-work issue.

>> On Tuesday, Michigan became the 24th state with a right-to-work law. Such laws bar contracts between companies and unions that require all workers to pay union dues for bargaining on their behalf. Unions argue the laws cripple them by allowing workers to opt out of supporting a union financially even as they reap the benefits of its collective bargaining.

>> Spitzley said he's hardly a diehard union man. He said he joined the protest not so much out of opposition to right-to-work laws as due to displeasure at how state Republican legislators and Gov. Rick Snyder fast-tracked the referendum-proof law during a lame-duck session.

Nothing on the tape shows how the fatso union stooge ended up on the ground and thus zero evidence that Crowder had anything to do with it. But what the tape clearly shows is the stooge punching him, so if charges are pressed I'd say fatboy's got a well deserved problem.

rdean sucks the weenie, again!

That's what I figured. Typical rdean.

It doesn't appear that Crowder knocked him down. Crowder was directly in front of the camera, and the man fell from Crowder's left to his right. furthermore, the man was part of a squad of union goons who were filmed trying to take down the AFP tent. He was already guilty of vandalism before anything involving Crowder happened.

One right winger says the guy was never on the ground and the next one said he "fell". You guys are very much like Fox. Any story but the truth.

oh boy..
there no sense arguing with you people..you know it all and we didn't see what we saw

It's rdean, he's an idiot. What do you expect? Just point and laugh like I do.

 

[Stephanie]

ooooooooooooooooooo, he goaded them so they just had to act like a thug..

and notice the hufferpost piece, a Controversial right to work legislation...it was only controversial for the UNIONS...

stupid thread, we'll see the outcome in court I guess, Chowder, the hod dog man and AFP have filed complaints against them

Are you talking about that short guy who was knocked on his ass and then got up and slugged the comedian?

I can't watch the video here at work due to a fire wall, but knowing you as i do, i'll bet that isn't what happened.

Whoa, you waste time at work perusing meaningless message boards?

I wouldn't call it a waste, I have fun with it.

How does your employer feel about you using their equipment-electricity-time to play on a political message board?

I honestly don't think he cares.

Is your employer OK with you using one of the seven banned words in your signature line---on THEIR computer?

What banned words, shit? My employer, the owner of the company, uses cuss words like vowels. Your faux outrage noted.

Have you always been a time/resources thief?


Never been a time/resources thief.
