Post-Altercation 2nd Camera Angle Hwy K Fight 10-31-09

A 67-year-old St. Charles County man taking part in an anti-socialism rally was punched in the face by an ObamaCare supporter who took offense at the sign he was carrying during a rally at the intersection of Highways K and N in OFallon, Mo., 30 miles west of St. Louis on I-70.

A video posted yesterday showed one camera angle of events as they occurred seconds following the altercation that took place at approximately 1:45 p.m. Central and involved a liberal 60-something, red-headed female who, according to Jay Harris, the conservative 67-year-old male involved, struck him with her fist after she became enraged over the sign he was carrying. Its message, Forget the Tea Party, Get the Tar and Feathers, alluded to the feelings many conservatives hold about many members of the Obama Administration and Congress. Its also historic in that the practice of tarring and feathering people — including crooked politicians — dates back more than 200 years.

Apparently not a student of history, however, Harris female attacker interpreted the sign as being directed at her and the three-dozen other public option supporters who marched across the street from some 200 people opposed to ObamaCare, bailouts and other un-Constitutional approaches to governance by liberals now in the White House and on Capitol Hill.

After the woman punched Harris, he said he instinctively grabbed her and pulled her to the ground so as to keep from being struck again.

As soon as an OFallon police officer arrived at the scene, the pro-ObamaCare protesters — mostly union members — began hurling accusations and calling names at conservative ralliers.

A court date has been set for Dec. 7 in the OFallon Municipal Court.
