VIDEO: Blame-Bush liberal physically attacks protester at Mel Watt’s G’boro office (THUR UPDATE: NEW VIDEO LINK ADDED)
Update – 6/10/10 – 5:19 PM: Please scroll down to the bottom for a video report of this incident which includes the assault footage. You Tube pulled the original video for a “terms of use” violation. Hmm …

Yesterday, concerned voters in NC’s heavily gerrymandered 12th district (that’s my district) made their voices heard at the Greensboro office of Congressman-for-life Mel Watt. I’d read on Twitter how the NC Tea Party-organized event had gotten ugly and that one person was arrested but had not seen any photos or video until now.
Take a look at the below video. About 1:26 into the clip is when the Bush-blaming liberal goes postal on a protesting constituent (language warning):
(via Atlas Shrugs)
Note how the person with the video camera gets a shot of the office’s address -that’s how I knew it was Congressman Watt’s:
GREENSBORO
301 S. Greene St.Suite 210
Greensboro, NC 27401-2615
Tel. (336) 275-9950
Fax (336) 379-9951
Also note how the guy wasn’t approached – he approached the protesters, and clearly became agitated when his “blame Bush” argument wasn’t gaining any traction.
Last I heard, the man who committed the assault yesterday in front of Watt’s office had been questioned by the police. Good. Not sure if any charges were filed or if he was actually arrested.
I doubt the way the creep handled himself is a way a majority of Watt supporters would react to a protest at Watt’s office but it’s disturbing all the same, and reminds me of the left wing/union thuggery we’ve seen either by taking over banks, or by pushing their weight around at health care townhalls and other places where voters are letting their elected representatives know how upset they are with the Obama/Pelosi/Reid agenda.
And they say it’s conservatives who are the “violent ones”?
Despicable incidents like these just make people more determined than ever to derail the Big Government Express before it’s too late to turn back, so if people like the man in the video who assaulted the protester thinks things like that are going to make people too fearful to get out and speak their minds, they couldn’t be more wrong.
BTW, Watt is up for re-election this year. Democrats have a 4 to 1 voter registration advantage thanks to strategic gerrymandering, so any Republican who runs is a serious long shot. There is runoff in this district to decide on the nominee will be to take on Watt. You can learn more about both candidates by visiting their respective websites: Scott Cumbie / Greg Dority.
If you’re a Republican in NC12 and want to vote in the runoff, click here for your voting location both for early voting and the actual runoff day (6-22).
Update – 8:35 PM: The NC Tea Party website has a shorter version of video that starts at the moment the guy got physical with the protester.

6/10/10 – 5:20 PM: Here’s the video report, since YouTube apparently pulled the original video due to a “terms of service” violation. The shorter version of the video is still available at the Tea Party website link above.

What a surprise!!! This a$$hole better be arrested for what he did!!
Let’s see how many of our
watchdoglapdog media run this story.Oh God, how I wish I was there when that happened!!!!!
It’s always the intolerant liberals who get violent, just look at the history of leftist protests. Conservatives never resort to violence except in self defense.
Watch … if it gets any MSM play at all it will be “Violence at TEA Party! Now for the weather report …”

[For a light hearted take on our present peril]
S.T., Watt is my “representative” as well.
*Sigh*
Why, that protester shoulda known better than to hit the guy’s fist with his face! All the guy was doin’ was protecting his right to public discussion guaranteed in the Constitution, right there where it says all citizens have the right to voice their opinions publicly as long as voicing those opinions doesn’t cross over into slander, or as long as those opinions agree with those who think the function of government is to nanny every weak piece of crap on earth.
Terrorists indeed!
“I doubt the way the creep handled himself is a way a majority of Watt supporters would react to a protest at Watt’s office ”
I disagree. It is TYPICAL of the left’s mentality. “Get in their faces”? “hit back harder”? This is what their Obamessiah told them to do and they are doing it.
He’s lucky he didn’t pull that crud in somewhere like Texas or he would have been properly disposed of in a matter of seconds after hitting the man and his wife.
He definitely thought he could convince the polite protestors of his idiocy. And then he denied what was caught on tape.
What a bibbletwit.
This occurred on June 8th. The Greensboro Police website allows the public to search for events based on date and address. Go here: LINK
Set the date as 6/08/10
Set the address as 301 S Greene in Greensboro
Case #: 20100608141
Primary Offense: ASSAULT – SIMPLE PHYSICAL
It lists no Arrestee.
It also lists two other “Arrests”

At least he didn’t have a gun like the slobbering, deranged Obama robot college professor who shot her colleagues because they wouldn’t award her tenure. But no, the liberal media won’t show it.
I wish Dority luck, but he seems to be a glutton for punishment. A few years ago he ran in NC 1st district that is also a designed heavy dem/black district.
John Nathan Tabor filed a Report with the Greensboro Police for 2 counts of Assault – Simple Physical, Case Number 2010-0608-141. I verified on the Greensboro Police Department Website.
I hope this goes viral….this demented liberal needs his face plastered all over NC! I bet he was sent there by the SEIU or some other such liberal organization trying to get the Tea Party protesters to attack him by his direct provocation. Unfortunately, these kind folks allowed him to speak and when his provocations failed to produce his intended effect he assaulted them.
I hope this goes to court….
This is a pathetic display of stupidity. This man should be arrested and fined for inciting a riot. – Lorica
Typical lib. When things don’t go his way, he doesn’t pick up his marbles and go home (apparently he doesn’t have too many marbles to begin with), he just physically attacks people too stupid to realize the brilliance of his arguments.
He shoulda stayed on the unicorn ranch.
Local news reports that both men are being charged with assault. Not sure why.
X, supposedly the guy who punched Nathan alleged that Nathan “pushed” him – from what I understand Nathan barely grazed him and it was because the puncher had nudged Nathan’s wife. (this was prior to the actual punching)
