Right-wing former congressman faces assault charge

It would be hard for me to shed any tears if this dickhead rots in the slammer.

Meet Chip Pickering, far-right former congressman from Mississippi. Back when he was a staffer for Trent Lott, Pickering helped write the fascist Telecommunications Act of 1996 - which was a bailout for right-wing talk radio and an attempt to censor Internet free speech.

Now Pickering is accused of starting a fight at a kids' soccer game.

Authorities say Pickering attacked the coach at the game this past weekend. The coach says Pickering yelled at him and yanked him from his car - forcing bystanders to separate the two.

Now the former lawmaker faces possible assault charges.

Chip Pickering even looks like a big bully in his photo. Bullying pretty much sums up what the right wing has become.
