Fox News Contributor Repeatedly Punched By Michigan Pro-Union Protestors Tearing Down AFP Tent
New video has surfaced showing Fox News contributor Steven Crowder being repeatedly punched while trying to stop Michigan pro-union protestors from tearing down a conservative tent outside the stateâ€™s capitol.

Earlier this afternoon, we reported that pro-union protestors in Michigan tore down an Americans for Prosperity tent while rallying against the stateâ€™s new right-to-work law.

Crowder was apparently on the scene to conduct man-on-the-street interviews, when things seemed to have gotten quite tense.

One protester cursed at him as he attempted to ask a question; another grabbed Crowder and punched him in the head a few times. Later on, as a tent was being torn down, Crowder was hit again.

Mediaite is a more reliable source than the right wing blogs like The Blaze, twitchy, gateway pundit, etc. that are hyping up this story. Providing in case you don't want to give traffic to the enemy. Sucks how stories like this one distract from the cause. As much as I despise unfunny right wing "comedians" like Crowder, this kind of conduct he encountered is beyond unacceptable...it's criminal.

Please consider the fact that the camerman PROVOKED this confrontation by asking his questions. I would consider locking this thread to prevent the rethugs from beating their simian meat over this.

What is a "contributor"??

A freeper?

A self-appointed fan?

What?

Labels matter.

For once reporter partially generated that. Once he was told to "get the **** off my face," that is when you back away. Period. That means you get the hell out and not become part of the story.

Second, this helps nobody

Third...there are hard editing points here, so we really do not have the full story.

Fourth, I know AFP are scum, I know people are pissed...this helps nobody.

Get the **** out of my country. Period.

Denial is a psychological reflex from events the subject cannot adequately cope with.

These are liars who are lying to cover for the fact they're the new Brown Shirts.

They want to terrorize people as long as they can while staving off the public backlash.

It is unclear, however, whether the violence against Crowder resulted from something we donâ€™t see on-camera, or what sort of exchange occurred immediately before the punching.

Ballygrl · « **Reply #10 on:** December 11, 2012, 05:49:14 PM »

Has the violence been covered by the "mainstream media"? if it was the Tea Party it would. As for the court of public opinion? they voted down collective bargaining in Michigan in Nov.

Airwolf · « **Reply #11 on:** December 11, 2012, 05:57:34 PM »

So its OK for union thugs to be violent and yet if anyone else does its off to jail and to hell with them. Lets all remember this when they start their so called revolution and it starts to get ugly. I'm betting they won't be so brave when they have to face getting hurt for real.

I say the Gov should call the Guard out and turn them lose and see just how peacefull those union goons are then. I bet the DUmmies start singing a new tune then when they get asked to leave and the tear gas flows and sticks start flying across DUmmy heads.

Hey Ban, I'm still waiting for you to come over here and justify the last 790 stupid ****ing things you've said. You just added one more to the list.

And no, don't lock the thread. In fact, I hope it's disseminated far and wide to show you cowards for the hypocritical thugs you are.

Nah, what I see them doing is akin to some of the shit the truckers, etc., pull in Europe every so often, that of, say, the Teamsters doing a "Polock Roadblock" (I'm Polish, I can say it) where some truckers are across all lanes of a major freeway or Interstate and do about 5 mph and let the traffic back up behind them.

Yeah, that'll really get a lot of support.

Please do. If some kind of national war breaks out, I'm most definetly going to get a few KO shots in. I'm absolutely SICK of these people. While I tried to make up my own definition (with help) for these savage pricks, I honestly can't think of one better than "Primitive." It fits in every single sense of the word. Frank done good with that one.
