Mike Stark v George Allen

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

Why do they call him a 'protester'? He is just asking a question.

[NewYorkViolets]

one may call it man-handling him???? was that just trite ad libbing?

[DeputyDawg999]

Those Allen staffers were lucky Stark is a peacable man. One of the assailants was an old man and the other one was a fat pig that would be gassed just walking across the room. Mike could have destroyed them.

Betty Nguyen is the hottest woman on television.

I don't care how crazy-ass Mike Stark is (I'm not even familiar with him) - if it was Rush Limbaugh I'd say the same. You can't tackle people to the ground for no apparent reason. The guy wasn't threatening Allen or anything. This is just weird.

[bogtrotter52]

I take it you could not be bothered to look at the photos here on youtube showing stark shoving an older guy before he confronted Allen. Act like a nutcase and you get treeated like one.

[langston3]

The cops just "detained" Stark (with handcuffs) for throwing an Allen staffer to the ground. Unreal. Maybe the next step is for Bush to just label him an enemy combatant, and send him off to a secret prison for a dunk in the water.

[Reggie1971]

Mike Stark stated on Keith Olbermann's "news" program that he couldn't remember pushing anyone at this event. The following is a link (remove star) to photos taken before the video. You decide:

Remove the space between the "d" and "e" in the word "index" in the link.

If this isn't an open and shut case of assault I'm looking at in this video, then I don't know what is. As hard as Mr. Stark's head smashes against the glass in that door, Sen. Macacawitz's thugs are lucky it didn't shatter.

[badnewswade]

Did anyone notice there are two videos of this circulating? This one is the cut one -MSNBC have one with more footage. Starts with him being shoved around, grabbed by his shirt, shoved some more, then punch drunk as it were, he asks very mildly why he can't talk to the Senator, bumps into two thugs who are blocking him, (no doubt dizzy from the jostling he's already endured) and then they get really violent...

I repeat, this is A CUT VIDEO,cut in such a way as to make Allen look good.

[SkipperStyle]

wow dude, you fox supporters look for any chance you can to accuse the rest of the media biased. all they did was show a video. relax man.

[shatchett0]

come on that was nothin'! you liberals have no nuts and it shows!

[BCMG]

God only knows what this unstable Carpetbagger (Stark) would do to Allen. He's crazy, he admits to being obsessed with Allen & stalking him. Allen should get a restraining order against him, have him arrested next time he comes near and basically let the kid ruin his own chances of ever practicing law in the future.

[BCMG]

Jeez. All a person would have to do is touch you with their pinky before you wimpy libs go crying to your mommies. "He Hurt ME! Whaaaa!" Stark is a Carpetbagger - not a Virginian. He should return to his ghetto in NY instead of trying to turn my state into a craphole.

[bogtrotter52]

The only thing missing was "Don't taze me bro!"

[zombiekiller]

It amazes me how you Republicans don't mind the Bush administration lying to you left and right about almost every issue...yet you get so angry about some blogger asking a baseless question. Then you want Stark to be sued for millions after he was assaulted. Final Point: YOU REPUBLICANS REALLY HAVE GONE NUTS. You're so off balance its unbelievable.

[bogtrotter52]

And the fact that given all you say Republicans STILL call the shots now and will do so after '08 as well drives you nuts. And since I am a calm conservative rather than a screeching lib, I do not even need all caps to make a point.

[darkninja210]

you sure got that one wrong and i wonder how much of a wussie you turn into after being tasered you prolly piss all over your self

[Redheadedstepchild]

Baseless charge: Did you spit on your first wife? That is SLANDER. This lib should get sued for $MILLIONS and the DAILYKOS for $MILLIONS. First wife said this question was TOTALLY FALSE. Typical lib liars.

[Skorpyos]

Confronting a senator about whether he beat up his wife and other questions is NOT grounds for physical violence. Stark was not in Allen property, but hotel property and Allen's staff had no right to even tell him to leave.

Vote Webb.

[phy6wulf]

Hey, great coverage CNN - too bad you don't show the whole story. This guy was trying to start an incident well before the clip shown here. AllenHQ has a series of photos of some of it, but you can all blow that off as partisan if you like.

[myroncope]

CNN seemed to lean against the guy.  "A protester was trying to get close to Allen".

[sydfynch]

i hope stark has those guys thrown in jail for assault. they deserve it. who are they say who can ask questions and who can't. that's battery right there, my friends.

[nj3700]

Screw allen.

[Reggie1971]

The biased tone of this report by CNN is evidence of why a Fox News is needed for balance. Also, you just don't belligerently try to approach a U.S. Senator like that, refuse to stop after being asked, and then expect to be treated nicely.

P.S.: Mike Stark is 24 Carat screwball. It wouldn't surprise me if he started placing flaming bags of dog shit on peoples' doorsteps.

[homerfink]

Impressive Reggie. You must be quite high functioning to be able to use a computer. Good for you!

[Reggie1971]

I'm a regular Al Gore.  I might as well have invented this internet thing!

[poetrychurch]

Every US citizen has the right to ask any question he or she chooses of their elected representatives. WELCOME TO DEMOCRACY 101.

You're right though, Stark is a 24 Carat Mookaka. Oops! I meant "screwball." My bad!

[Reggie1971]

Thank you for the civics lesson. I'd never heard of this 1st Amendment stuff until Stark's supporters kindly edified me. Now I know it's acceptable to physically approach Ted Kennedy and ask if he has drowned any young women lately. To hell with a celebrities personal security. I have a right to an up close Q & A.

[zombiekiller]

Typical republicans. Can't make someone your lap dog? USE VIOLENCE!

I hope the men that assaulted him are charged and convicted for it. Imagine if liberals had assaulted a republican. Everyone backing up Allen would be singing a totally different song.

[lgrrpp]

check cynthia mckinney and a jewish fox news reporter after mckinney lost to some "uncle tom". Nice

[bogtrotter52]

Violence is not always the answer, but it sure is fun to watch when used on nutcase liberal wussies. All that was missing was "Don't taze me bro!"

[Jehovabendova]

@bogtrotter52 That "liberal wussie" was in the Marine Corps. I was under the impression that the Marines had a kind of "no wussies allowed" policy.

[Chaoshun]

They used the F-word. Apparently CNN didn't catch that.

[Chaoshun]

I live in Charlottesville. It is all over the news.

Webb for Senate.

[dezmd]

Any minute now the right-wing-lobbyist-paid-blogg­ers are going to start infesting the comments of videos of this. Get your opinions in while you still can before cognitive dissonance sets in. Cheers.

[bogtrotter52]

Well if you all you want is a circle jerk of libs all agreeing with each other there is always DU or Daily KOS. No dissenting opinions allowed there. You'd be very happy.

[bacci40]

stark does not blog on kos...he has his own site...callingallwingnuts

[gratholio]

Do not vote for that fuck

[KoshNaranek3]

What CNN isn't saying in this clip is that Tony Stark is a Marine vet.

[donaldmc79]

Maybe that will teach Mike Skank some manners. Doubt it though.

[brandonVJwikkiDJ]

So much for airing of constituent concerns -- Allen responds :"things like that happen," yeah right, if somebody even tried to do that to George Allen they would be arrested and thrown in jail.

If these guys are so tough why don't they ship out to Iraq? Oh right, because then they would embarrass the U.S. on the international stage.

[soke2001]

Wow! So much for freedom.

[sentheru]

Typical.  These guys are violent and against our Constitution.
