MT Congressional Candidate Assaults Reporter
And for the rightwads out there, it was corroborated by Faux News.

Three observations: 1) Fox will probably fire these reporters. 2) I honestly think this will help energize Gianforte's supporters and help GOP turnout. Really, I do . 3) If this guy wins tomorrow then we are officially dead as a nation.

Maybe him and Jesse Ventura can get together in a room.
Psst.......wrestling is fake
I suspect you are dead right with what you say in No. 2. Beating up a reporter will undoubtedly resonate with his supporters.
Actually I'm surprised we don't see more stories about "in your face" reporters getting punched in the face.

in your face?
isn't the very nature of a reporter to be 'in your face' to a certain extent? asking difficult questions and pressing for answers is kind of part of the job description.....
if you cannot handle questions about your positions and policies, perhaps you should not seek public office
This is what's wrong with our world today. In Sparta Ben Jacobs would have been punted as a baby. In today's society the weak, ugly and sickly reproduce which creates a product like Ben Jacobs and he's even allowed to reproduce.
We need more Sparta!!
This is pretty much it in a nutshell..

Getting punched in the face for being like that should also be in the job description. I know I would do it if harassed by reporters like that.
That is because most politicians are adults.
According to the Fox reporters that were in the room, that is not what happened.
I never stated that. I just stated that I'm surprised that more reporters don't get punched in the face. My statement wasn't relating the story in this thread.
Sounds like Osoto Gari
It's awesome you understand Montana politics as well as you do. Oh wait, Gianforte isn't from Montana. Not that I'm from here either but at least I get to see the truth of this **** of a politician where you are just letting your ignorance control your mouth.
Since when is it ok to get assaulted for just doing your job?

Let's face it, most men don't care to just sit passively by while some little snot nosed kid rips them apart because they hold different political beliefs. Now let's all sit back and watch as the media completely rips this man and his family apart for the next few days. Gladiator politics! Two men enter, one man leaves.
You want a piece of me!
This event though is indicative of politics and journalism today. If you don't like what the press says, call it fake news or demonize the press as liberal, as if being liberal in it self is an atrocious thing.

In this anti Trump media bubble where anything that could be used to negatively impact Trump is big, huuuge, news. These "journalist" are yearning to create that viral moment that will launch their career. They also think they are part of some kind of resistance because their failed leader told them that this is the way. This is a recipe for what just happened.
As for the body slam, I don't think it's a smart way to run a political campaign but I sort of understand. I would have went with a rear naked choke.
you've created a perverse world to live in
Captain Obvious... I know you are.

Instead of tweeting, Ben Jacobs should have gotten his **** Generation X **** off the floor and thrown a haymaker right back.

That would have made this a lot more interesting story than it is.
BUT. . .if Seth Rich's family were to take Sean Hannity out and stomp him, I doubt I'd be too excised about it.
