Getting ugly in Denver: Malkin attacked, harassed at Recreate 68 protest
** Update 2 – 6:46 PM: Click here for a newer post with new video**
————–
The nasty Recreate 68 gang/Alex Jones Truther crowd got even uglier than normal yesterday. Gateway Pundit has video and photos of a disturbing incident involving threats and intimidation of Michelle Malkin as she tried to film the goings-on at the protest. Pajamas Media will have more exclusive photos and video, including an interview with Malkin herself, later today.Â
I can’t view the YouTube vid at the moment, so I can’t tell whether or not there was any physical assault, but from the way I’ve read it described, it was a very ugly incident (and included shouts of “Kill Michelle Malkin!”) whether there was an actual physical assault or not.Â
These dumba**es clearly have no shame (pardon my French). 
Update – 11:09 AM: Via ST reader steveegg comes Stephen Green’s brief report on what happened:
The PJTV video crew, plus blogger (and PJM contributor) Charlie Martin, Michelle Malkin and myself gathered — along with the more police and press than protestors — to do what we thought would be a fun little puff piece. And the pieces were certainly all in place: there was a guy wearing a silver and knock-off Oakleys, and his parter in metaphysical crime under the purple wizard hat. Then came the drums, the chants, the confetti, and — surprisingly enough — a continuing just-standing-there by a rather large and solid stone building. Let the snark begin!
Then things got ugly.
9/11 “Truther” and all-around rabble-rouser Alex Jones was there, and recognized Michelle. Soon he was in her face, easily five times her size, shouting and threatening. He wasn’t alone. Charlie got an elbow in the kidney. Our Intrepid Video Dude, Andrew Marcus, got right in the middle of it, and got some great video.
But the shouting and shoving got worse, the cops did little, and the best we could do was to make our way out without further escalation.
In the end, no one was hurt — or even much rattled. But we did have an interesting, exciting even, five minutes. And the Denver Mint never even so much as shrugged.

These idiots have no idea that they are acting like the very fascists they claim us to be.
The video is grainy, and I didn’t view the entire thing yet, but Stephen Green reports there was some contact.
Incidents like these show how, at its heart, the hard Left is anti-democratic: the resort to intimidation and threats of violence, shouting down opponents, making it impossible for them to speak. It’s nothing less than a form of fascism.
I’m rarely a fan of MM, but she doesn’t deserve crap like this.
I’ve tried to read a couple of accounts and not sure which group is to blame…. Democrat-related groups or anarchist/communist groups that are protesting the democratic convention. Or if it’s some complicated mix of these two.
It’s unfortunate that these kinds of things happen, luckily it sounds like no injuries. Some arrests were made elsewhere, though I’m not not familiar with Denver or how close these different accounts took place.
There’s a difference??? One is just a step left of the other, yippie. The Democrat party really needs to reign in these crazies or cast them out. But playing footsies with them to keep them hanging and then hiding them until they need them just shows the true motiviations of the Dem party. – Lorica
Alchemist, you know there’s an increasingly unhealthy overlap between the two. Recall the instances we’ve seen this year of Obama campaign posters sharing the walls with Che Guevara flags and posters. And lest you forget, this year Obama has the open endorsement of the Communist party right here in the USA.
You may try to pretend there’s no relationship at all between the Democrat party and these extremists, but consider the contrast. You don’t find pictures of anti-American icons festooning the walls at McCain HQs. Don’t you ever wonder why the anti-democratic (small d) forces are so comfortable with the Dems?
Obama is demanding a DOJ investigation of a commericial. 9/11 nutcase “truthers” are assaulting and harrassing those that disagree with them.
Gosh, imagine how much better things will be if Obama is elected. They’ll have to build new prisons to hold all of the people who are arrested for critcizign “The Holy One”.
Be afraid…..be VERY afraid.
These are the time-honored and time-tested tactics of Communists and their off-shoots, the Fascists. There’s nothing new about this kind of behavior. Sickening, though, is the seeming hands-off attitude of the police there.
Is intimidation now acceptable behavior in public in Denver?
