"Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox. And this balance here has been completely reversed. The thing that sustains a strong Fox network is the thing that undermines a strong Republican party."
David Frum - Speechwriter for George W. Bush
Heres the first, highly edited video which ends with Fox News contributor Steven Crowder getting punched by some union protesters:
[video=youtube;u_F3oev06i0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_F3oev06i0&feature=player_embedded[/video]
This video is actually a composite of things that happened over the course of the day, many of them hours apart. The initial conversation happened early in the morning. At about 0:16, it cuts to Crowder saying, Youve already destroyed one tent, leave this one alone. That happened hours after the interview with the union workers that starts the segment. The guy hes talking to is standing quite a distance from the tent but Crowder insists that hes somehow tearing down the tent.
Selective editing at about 0:39 mark shows what appears to be union guy attacking Crowder for no apparent reason. However, if you look closely, youll see that the guy is getting up off the ground that he was NOT the one that became aggressive first.
At about 1:13, as the tent is coming down, Crowder comes over to the cameraman and waves him off as if to say, thats enough filming. The reason for this becomes clear if you watch this longer, less edited version of the video:

What they apparently dont want you to see is union members using knives to cut the tent open to let people inside out. Rather, the message that is being sent by the conservative media and blogosphere is that the union members deliberately cut the tent to pieces in an act of malicious vandalism. As Matt Allen points out in his comments HERE, the union members actually ask, Is everybody out? and then proceed to make sure that they are.
At 1:49 in the longer video, one union members notes that an AFP guy has a gun and brags that hes killed plenty of mother fuckers with a gun (i.e., hes killed people who were in possession of guns.) This is being played up as if a UNION MEMBER had a gun. Not true.
