As I begin writing this, I get a CNN alert that Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska will concede to her Teabagger opponent, mortgage defaulter Joe Miller in the Republican Senate primary. Geek says in two weeks our own Teabagger experience with the wondrous Christine O’Donnell will be over. I pray not that my learned friend is wrong, if only for more moments like this:
State GOP staffer John Hawley and Evan Queitsch, a supporter of U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell got into a scuffle after a Founder’s Values group candidate forum Monday night. During the event, Hawley had been standing in the back of the room video taping the candidates speaking. Hawley has traveled to candidate forums across the state during the campaign to record speakers. Afterward, Hawley remained in the auditorium filming O’Donnell as she talked to attendees. When O’Donnell went to leave and Hawley followed, the trouble started. [..]
Queitsch was part of a group of four O’Donnell staff members that had circled around the candidate to keep Hawley and a member of the press from getting near her. When O’Donnell walked out the door, the staffers blocked the entrance. Republican Party Chairman Tom Ross said Queitsch tried to block Hawley from leaving the room. He said Hawley was pushed into the wall. At one point in the video, Hawley can be heard saying “no need to be violent.”
Yes, that is EvanQ, a frequent wingnut bully commentator here at Delaware Liberal who most recently bullied Dave Burris and Delaware Tomorrow into hiatus for daring to write about the rank incompetence, lies and disqualifications of one Christine O’Donnell. To be sure, there are no victims here, as both Hawley and Evan Q are Republican thugs, although my sympathy, if I possess any, would tend towards Hawley for the mere reason that O’Donnell was ducking questions like most, if not all, Teabagger candidates do (i.e. Rand Paul in Kentucky and Sharon Angle in Nevada). Here is the video of the incident:
