State Senator Bishop has committed a violent and irresponsible act that stems from emotion, sadly, rather that from reason or intellect. This is NOT what we citizens want, need, nor do we expect from our duly-elected representatives. It reflects badly on his personal integrity and the body of his representaion as well. He should have been censured and possibly recalled for his shameful reaction. His lack of proper temperament is a threat to the state of our civility.
For all the "Typical democrat/republican" arguments being made, I'd like to point out that the issue isn't about what party they're from, it's about what they did.
The guy who punched was being violent and thuggish, while the person being punched was being a bit of a jerk. Both are to some extent at fault for the incident, but this isn't representative their parties.
As an Alabamian from Sen. Barrons district, I can truly attest to the bullying spirit among the members of the replubican party in my state. It is the same spirit that is evident in the national party. They create drama and crisis in order to look like heros. They have the same mentality of the arsonist, who poses as a volunteer firefighter. I used to be a fisically conservative and socially liberal republican. I am now in firm opposition to the party's occupation.
Ahhh politics,,wouldnt it be nice if all our politicians solved their problems quickly and esily like this,,, we wouldnt be having all this partisan bullshit.
It figures that a Republican would throw the first punch. Is this any way for an adult to act? Obviously the puerile Republican base is very proud.
I hope Mr. Barron pressed charges to the fullest extent of the law. Hopefully in the process he got Bishop thrown out of the state senate permanently. One less Republican with power the better.
You are obviously ignorant, as is usually the case with your kind. I could also put money on the fact that you are not from the South. Down here, we solve problems quickly and without all the pussy mumbo-jumbo bull shit tactics that Liberals use.
Sen. Barron should not have called the good Republican Sen. a SOB. That is an assault on his mother. We take kindly to our mothers in the South.
ur an ignorant jackass...u realize ur hero bil clinton is a goo ol' arkansas boy right? go back to watching ur al gore slideshow u smug booshwa retard.
was that suposed to piss me off? since when was i a republican? actually i'd rather be a republican fucking my sister then a democrat jacking off to a hybrid add.
I'm not sure you can press charges since it took place in the senate. At least if it was the federal senate you can't. I believe most states would have a like law. He could be kicked but the vote wouldn't pass in alabama.
But hey at least he didn't go good ol preston brooks on his ass (A southern democrat 1856). Republicans might throw a punch if his pride is hurt, but Brooks beat Sumners bloody with a cane to the head until unconsciousness and head trauma. By law no charges were pressed.
this classic,and for the person who commented on Ron Artest remember artest also deck some white fans too he wasnt only just fighting with the black players and yes there should be something done about law makers fighting it looks worst than if an athlete is fighting and too damn bad this didnt have the effect of the aurburn hills brawl but they should be some ramifications and someone needs to be fined here...this is a prime example of how AMERICA treats certain people
Typical dumb Alabama inbred redneck conservative republican. Probably a closet pedophile like most republicans, who owns over 100 guns, thinks the earth is 5000 years old and beats his wife. And these are suppose to be our leaders? What a joke these republicans are.
all I am saying is when Ron Artest got violent at his job after a fan threw stuff at him he was a bad guy who was reprimanded for his actions it would seem to me that some disciplinary action is warranted here, oh wait Ron Artest is a black basketball player this is a white southern politician...never mind
I created an account just to reply to your ignorant comment...sad as it is, young children aren't watching public television, nor news for that matter...and they def. aren't keeping up with politics. They ARE however, sadly enough, watching sports and idolizing your poor, deminished, black athletes....so please, please don't play the black card on this one. Basketball player=role model....politician= ????
First of right and wrong have nothing to do with location. Hey genius with the internet how many non pbs watching children do you think have seen this? And secondly the problem with this country are people like you who think a basketball player is a role model rather than politicians. Calling someone you don't know "ignorant" is like holding up a mirror and saying jackass.
Please forgive my misspelling of GRADE in the past above. I'm sorry I was a little under the weather after a night of merriment and pitchers of non-alcoholic (snicker, snicker) beer.
Right, let's settle all our problems with violence. Fuck the law. This is a fantastic message that the Alabama Senate is sending. Good thing they're responsible for writing laws for everyone else. If Bishop thinks this kind of behavior is OK, I'm assuming he'll introduce a bill to repeal the crime of battery in Alabama. Or not.
You freaking republicans talk so much crap. In the end, this video shows how he couldn't take the heat in a debate. Yes, if someone called me a son of a B, I would beat their a**...but I wouldn't make an a** of myself if I was in the public eye!!!
What the fuck are you talking about? You say republicans have to respond with brutality because they can't win in a debate and in your next breath you say you'd have punched the dude. Listen to yourself and do yourself a favor...stop being a puppet for the democratic party. Man up and think for yourself!
If he's man enough to step up and call a senator a son of a bitch, he should be man enough to suffer the consequences, but like all Democrats, their first thought is to think about how much they can sue somebody for.
This is just a demonstration of how Republicans behave, why is anyone surprised. Ha, ha, ha, what kind of excuse was that? "That's not the way grown people solve problems?????"
I wish he had knocked Barron out. Barron is known as the lowest of lows. Look it up. He has been involved in scandal after scandal. I guarentee most in the Senate (repubs and dems) were secretly smiling when Bishop waxed the dude!
I'm from alabama, and I am embarrassed to see this. Though I think that the democrat should have never been talking about the republican's Mama. If anything, it should have been taken outside or something along those lines. Still entertaining none-the-less. Republican POWER! *Responding to democrats one right fist at a time.*

Lets use logic morons (Republicans) use.
Dipshit moron Republicans say that
"Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim."

"Not all southerners commit incest, but those who commit incest are southerners."

You either a Republican, a Southerner, or both.
Either association increases the likelihood of having committed incest. Although the likelihood is doubled if you are both Republican and Southerner.
