Trackers for the Judy Feder campaign trying to ask a question of Congressman Frank Wolf are assaulted and beaten by Wolf's people one of them using a cane, which in most states counts as a deadly weapon, making a simple A&B into aggravated assault, a felony.

The editors of the Washington Post seem unconcerned; apparently pork for Northern Virginia is more important than political violence, or for that matter Feder's superb qualifications as a genuine expert on health care.

Of course, since this was actual violence rather than made-up violence, CNN isn't likely to carry it. Bonus fact: Wolf used to chair the House Human Rights Caucus. I guess free speech doesn't count.

If watching the video makes you angry, here's a good vent for that anger.

1. You know...

There is such a thing as acceptable and lawful self-defense. That would have been a perfect time for it.

5. I agree... These assholes need to be taken down a couple of pegs.

Somebody hits me with something, they are usually going to get hit back. Only much harder, so there's no confusion of the situation now at hand.

2. Wolf is going down and he knows it. Thus, his true colors come out here. rec'd

3. I would hope...

...that the person attacked here would have the good judgment to bring this to trial. Nothing would be more pleasing than to see this sick fucker squirm as he attempts to justify his actions before a jury. Bringing things like this to light inhibits such idiots in the future.
