Video shows Fox contributor assaulting labor demonstrator

Last week, as you know, labor supporters held a rally in front of the Michigan State Capitol against the state's Hitleresque new "right-to-work" law. Fox News endlessly replayed a video that purported to show labor union activists attacking Fox contributor and "comedian" Steven Crowder.

Witnesses had said Crowder started the brawl, but nobody could find video to prove it. But the video has since surfaced...



Ironically, the source for the full video was none other than Fox News itself! They mistakenly forgot to edit it when they first showed it.

And it is clear from the tape: Crowder assaulted the union man. He shoved him clean to the ground. I can see that with my own two eyes. Crowder started a fight, and the guy fought back. Steven Crowder is damn lucky he didn't shove me like that.

What a shock! A guy who probably busted his ass 40 hours a week his whole life is met with ridicule and violence by Fox News, the Tea Party, and the Republican Party of Michigan. Who'd have ever thought that deliberately knocking a man to the ground would get you punched?

An employee of Michigan's agriculture department said of Crowder, "There was no question he was there just to start a fight, to start some kind of trouble." He also said Crowder "wasn't going to go home until he got punched."

This is why I support the right to self-defense. Some who claim to be of my political ilk think we should be forced to fight with both hands tied behind our backs. But what's good enough for the other side should be good enough for us. If some right-wing hooligan lays a hand on me, they're done.
