What the BTPers' Fort Lauderdale video missed

Days ago, I discussed the November 14 incident in which Tea Party thugs in Fort Lauderdale started a fight with an anti-racist group that opposed them.

Ironically, the video of this episode was trotted out by right-wingers who claimed they were the victims, not the aggressors. But few people fell for that claim after seeing the clip.

Turns out though that there were lots of interesting goings-on just before the camera started rolling.

For one thing, the Tea Party that day included racist signs and chants. For another, the anti-racists did not cross over to the street corner where the Tea Party was. However, Tea Party fascists crossed over repeatedly.

Minutes before the video began, a Tea Party organizer strolled over and assaulted an opponent. He also tore up their signs. Afterward, the first assailant was met by another Lipton Loser, as he swung a tripod at the group.

In a separate incident that day, one of the Tea Party whack-a-doodles tried running over an opponent with a truck.

The video didn't catch these moments. But now that there are witnesses, we have more facts instead of just the 90-second movie - which didn't exactly help the Tea Party's cause anyway.

In fact, there's very little that has. The Nastea Plungers have made fools of themselves at every rally, but they keep at it.
