Hartmann Talks to Obama Bumper Sticker Road Rage Victim
By now I'm sure most people who frequent Crooks and Liars has already read about the man who became enraged and slammed his SUV into the car of a man with an Obama bumper sticker and his ten year old daughter inside the car. Thom Hartmann talks to Mark Duren, the man who was attacked about what happened. Funny you don't see anyone in the mainstream media rushing to put Mr. Duren on the air.
They were too busy helping with Eric Cantor's phony victim story:
His false claim of office gunshots functioned as the Ashley Todd tale of 2010, distracting from right-wing violence.

Did House GOP Whip Eric Cantor just become 2010's answer to Ashley Todd, the white McCain supporter who claimed she was assaulted by a black Obama backer in October 2008?
[...]
But just as Ashley Todd's tale interrupted a narrative of right-wing menace and near-violence about Obama, briefly letting commentators tsk-tsk about extremes on both sides, Cantor's claim interjected the same kind of false equivalence. On CNN Thursday night, Gloria Borger insisted not only should tea partiers rein in their members, but "Move On too" (h/t Greg Mitchell). It's crazy time. Read on...
did this guys bumper sticker really say 'thank me: I voted for Obama'?
If so, I don't feel as bad for him anymore.
but even if he did and I missed it (I'm not going to relisten to it just to find out), that's just pitiful. He got out of his car and was screaming at the guy that his kid was in there and he slammed into his car anyway. I'm sorry but no matter how anyone feels about Obama, there is absolutely no excuse for that. Would you have felt bad for him if the drunk asshole had killed his child? There is no excuse for people behaving this badly or for justifying it even in the slightest.
Really, why?
