This Video was taken a few minutes after a Fox News Guard Decked a guy just for holding a Ron Paul Sign during the "Hannity and Colmes" show in Des Moines Jan 2, 2008. This video is taken outside of the "Racoon Brewery" where Fox News was broadcasting live from.

Background to Video:
I had just left Ron Paul's Veterans Rally. Just after Ron's speech, I saw something that made me wonder if I was in 1940's Nazi Germany.
If you watched Fox News January 2, you know that they were taping all the shows live from the "Racoon River Brewery" in Des Moines. This bar adjoins the Hotel Fort Des Moines where Ron Paul's Veterans Rally was held. (I wonder if this was a coincidence).
After Ron's speech, we heard another guy (I don't know his name so I'll call him Bob) say that "Hannity and Colmes was right next door so we decided to follow him there. We were the first Ron Paul people to get to the bar and see the last 20 minutes of Hannity and Colmes being taped live. There were quite a few other Non-Ron Paul people in the bar already. My two brothers and I went in and stood behind Hannity and Colmes. I had several Ron Paul posters in my hand and was going to raise one of them up when someone from Fox News caught a glance at me and started bitching at me and insisted I put them down. He then radio'ed to one of the security guards that there are to be no Ron Paul signs displayed. Bob, who I don't think knew this, came over adjacent to me a couple minutes later and held up his Ron Paul sign. In less than one second the guard farthest from the door ran over and tackled Bob as he fell through the double doors and shattered the glass he was holding. Let me tell you, I have never seen anybody in this country so ridiculusly assualted just for holding up a political sign for probably less than 1 second. When I got home tonight, I watched the last 20 minutes of "Hannity and Colmes"s that my wife had taped to see if I would get a glimpse of the assault, but they had used the 5 second delay to cover it up with some other clip at the time. You will however, hear the crowd boo'ing the guards right at the time this happened because it was such an excessive attack. It was 49 minutes into the show and shortly after it happened you will see the attacking guard in a white shirt crouching over and walking in behind Hannity and Colmes back into his position.
I don't have the video of the actual attack, but I did take video about 10 minutes later when a group of more Ron Paul supporters started flashing their signs from the outside to get the attention of all the Fox News Big Shots inside. They were in the middle of being told by two other security guards to get out of there when I started taping them. Within this tape is discussion of the incident inside the bar that had just occured and shows some Ron Paul supporters angered over Bob's incident. Also, a couple of the Ron Paul supporters are asking why the hell they have to remove themselves from a public sidewalk.
This incident just shows how scared Fox News is to give any attention to Ron Paul. I don't know if Fox News chose this location next the Ron Paul's rally on purpose or what. I didn't watch the whole show so I'm not sure if they had any coverage of Ron Paul's rally. Could this have been an attempt by Fox News to try to get some of Ron Paul's people shown in an unruly manner - if so it didn't work because I saw nothing done by an Ron Paul supporter that was out of line in any way. The B.S. attack on Bob was the only thing completely ridiculus.
This must be Fox News's idea of freedom and liberty. They and the rest of the MSM need to be exposed for what they really are.

  • I am not sure who is instructing your campaign efforts but Ron Paul's supporters actions are way to aggressive. Maybe just maybe the general public would take Paul seriously if you people were not so militant.I know many people in New Hampshire who have said that when they see Paul people with signs on street corners and they need to drive by them, THEY LOCK THEIR DOORS. The impression you have given the public is a really bad one.There is still time to change your image..

  • If we did nothing, nobody would even know who the hell Ron Paul was. It is the supporters who have got him where he is. What was done so crazy here? It's about time people got a little F'ing pissed off.

  • these people are crazy, and people wonder why they dont let them into civilized places.. not even bars lol.. camon guys be smart, you look foolish, and at the same time you are trying to interrupt others free speech by holding up signs. signs, signs, u know who else likes signs alot, the west burrow baptist nuts, im not saying you are them, but it makes you guys look immature and nutty.."you cant escape the revolution, the revolution is here and will save you" fuckin crazy bitch

  • Glad to know there's plenty of brainwashed Hitlerites out there that can't use their own brain (assuming they have one). Someday you'll reap the shit you sew.

  • What some people don't understand is that Ron Paul supporters aren't just supporting Ron Paul, because of Ron Paul. They support Ron Paul because WE BELIEVE in what he BELIEVES in, which is the Constitution, Liberty, and Freedom.

  • @Flixette STFU slave, & enjoy eating the cum of your World bank masters!

  • anyone who watches fox or buys any product they advertise you deserve to die cause it will be your fucking fault why the ndaa go signed in the first place boy cot these motherfuckers

  • Ron Paul supporters rock!

  • @Flixette the image was conjured by fox news and the other media outfits who operate with spec ops precision.

  • Yeah we are aggresive because it's a revolution baby . Hannity should be lynched

  • Ron Paul supporters are everywhere--all races, party crossovers, religions... If you want to see radical, just wait until the economy and country gets pushed off a cliff. You will witness civil unrest like never before, and it won't just be RP supporters, it will be a mass awakening of the overall population. I really don't want to see it go down like that, personally.

  • ...Yeah, holding a sign is totally on the level of ordering the ethnic clensing of 2 million jews. You idiot.

  • @motoxdog1 right on, I'm a Ron Paul Supporter, and he proved to me how good of a guy he is, by calling my house personaly, to talk to me. I asked him to call, and by god he did. Not one of his staff, Dr.Paul himself. 2012 is coming, and our second chance to vote the right guy is coming, I hope we wake up this time.

  • WHAT THE FOX

  • Yeah, but people who believe in the apocolypse and dubious news reporters getting eaten alive in the afterlife are perfectly logical and clear-thinking. (If there is an afterlife, could anyone get eaten alive in it?)
