My feeling, after watching the video, is this guy violated personal space, and was removed. The rest is smoke & mirrors. Tantruming & whining.
LGF offers biased commentary, like a lot of sites, and they host videos, the same one you posted, BTW. Why make a big deal of it ? would you feel better if I took the video fro the huffington post ?

Yeah, OK rufus. He was a picture of a non-biased, toughtful, and truly inquisitive reporter.
Kind of like the gay guy who goes to bars to start a fight, so he can later point at the hateful homophobes.
Anyhoo, folks can decide for themselves. Watch the video, and decide. -
To me it's just more weak evidence of a conspiracy. -

OK, so now that we're back to talking sense, would you allow someone to talk to your wife this way ?
I think the guy could have asked his question, and acted like a grown-up, at the same time. -

You didn't answer my question.
Would you allow someone to get this close to your wife, and talk to her like this ? -

So you aren't going to answer.
I would not. And if I saw this happening to a friend, I would consider backing him up.
This moron was dealt with in an appropriate manner, and I'm sure no lasting harm will become of him. I hope the next time he's in somone's face like this, they deal with him the same way.
BTW, Tucker Carlson just had Ron Paul on, and what a pleasant exchange they had. -

And also, I'm a Tancredo guy, I have no intention of voting for Rudy, and I personally think he's a bad guy.
But I don't think this guy's actions are appropriate. And I'm glad he was removed. -
How can someone be cited for criminal trespass when he had been authorized to be on the property? He had valid CNN credentials allowing him to be there as a member of the press.
I would also like to point out that this man is clearly 3 or 4 feet further away from this suddenly very quiet "spokesman" than any of the other reporters with microphones nearly rammed up his nose jussling and bussling each other trying to get up against the guy. Your personal space argument doesn't hold water. -
Well after watching the video for myself I didn't see any personal space violation either.
The guy was a respectful distance when he asked the question. The staffer asked for evidence and the reporter offered to open up his laptop and show him his documentation and the staffer walked away. The guy followed, but as soon as the staffer turned around he stopped. The staffer is the one that kept getting closer to the reporter.
Now as an active member of the press I wouldn't condone what this reporter did as it would have been much more effective to show video of the question being asked and then the staffer walking away.
But there is NOTHING in the video (and I watched the green pigskin video) that warrants an arrest. The staffer had every right to have the guy removed I "suppose." Not sure of that even, but there is no way he should have been arrested and there is no way his camera should have been taken away.
Better take a long look at that video of the guy being walked away in cuffs, because it wouldn't surprise me when the day comes that is a Chrsitian man or women being escorted away for standing up for the Truth of Scripture.
But that's just my $.02 and some say it's not worth that :). -
"Truther moron"? Looks like prisonplanet.com doesn't have the hate market cornered after all, eh?
