Are you denying that if the roles were reversed that race would not have been made an issue of? He'd probably be charged with hate crimes on top of assault charges.

So if it's a black on white crime, it's 'one idiot', but if it's white on black crime, it's pervasive racism. Don't get me wrong, both scenarios are equally appalling and inexcusable, but I'm just pointing out the obvious double standard.

"The obvious double standard" is your own conjecture.

Lots of you do that -- make up something, then start talking as if it's true.

Yup, the thug pushed the guy's wife. I'd kick his a** for doing that, and Mr. Tabor showed brilliant restraint not having the loser kiss the pavement. By butting into the protest, seeking trouble, and pushing the guy's wife, basically he got lucky that he wasn't pummeled on by the group.

Now this is funny coming from someone who says Glenn Beck is fooling his audience when he shows videos and transcripts of ideology papers coming right from the sources. He's soooo good that he is a ventriloquist making videos say what he wants them to say and rewriting the papers into his own words and then uploading them all over the internet.

So first my dear you deny the entire video's existence, then condone it. I'd LOVE to see mr. white collar (i mean purple) have a face off with him. Looking at that one left jab, it wouldn't be pretty.

No, that was a push and not a punch. It's hard to punch with a camera in your hand. I highly condone beating the crap out of someone who pushed my wife (currently fiancee), especially if the belligerent came into the scene to start trouble. What you'd love to see is irrelevant.

0:02 questionable push or punch. 0:04 clearly a punch with his left fist (you can hold a camera in one hand you know)

It is funny, and it's the same thing
