let me do the Huffington Post's write up for them. this way their writer's can stay in mom's basement playing “Call Of Duty 18: The Smell of Rent”.
“….the video, shaky and carefully edited, shows a lone elderly, pro-Obama AFRICAN-american in a mob of angry tea party protesters brandishing signs and verbally accosting the Obama administration. The video “appears” to show the Obama supporter swing and possibly strike one of the angry tea partiers. However it is unclear what was done to provoke this brave dissident as he tries to explain , and rightfully so, how this is all the result of the failed economic policies of the past eight years. Well the past nine and a half years, but subtracting the last 18 making an even 8 years. Yes, that's it. 8 years.”

Well folks sad to say I believe this will be happening more often as we near Nov. Each of us needs to be prepared with video, cameras and witnesses. I once saw a show on how to deal with an attacker and one key element was to be ready mentaly to deal with it if it happens. Blows may be dealt so be ready to handle the situation to safety. I hope they arrested this lunatic.

Considering that it happened here in the south, I am surprised that someone like me did not step in and defend that guy.
I am still quite warm about poor Kenneth Gladney.

K-Mart Labor Struggle, 1995
Calvin Miller, Greg Headon, GOVENOR SPENCER , and Deborah Compton-Holt explained how K-Mart Warehouse Center employment practices and conditions had become unbearable, causing workers to organize around questions of economic justice. Attempts at organizing had been quelled. These veteran labor organizers recounted how they mobilized their families, communities, and the Pulpit Forum of Greensboro, a coalition of progressive clergy, to commit acts of civil disobedience and bring pressure to bear on K-Mart until they negotiated in good faith for a fairer contract. In the end, the workers triumphed, although the struggle continues. Students from local colleges, both black and white, joined the K-Mart boycotts and there was massive media coverage throughout the nation.

…then K-mart files for bankruptcy in 2002.

The important thing is the thug that beat up the Tea Party protester , GOVENOR SPENCER, was a veteran labor organizer that mobilized people to commit acts of civil disobedience.

Via GatewayPundit. Dude. I know one of the ladies in this video. Looks like I’m going to have to get on the phone.
UPDATE: MyFox8 covered this story this morning on the local news:
Tabor says they were protesting a proposed amendment that would give companies money to help with rising credit card fees. He says he was videotaping the event when Govenor Spencer, of Greensboro, approached the protest.
“About that time a gentleman walks around the corner and walks into the middle of the crowd saying it’s all George W. Bush’s fault. It’s all Dick Cheney’s fault.” Tabor said.
The video shows Spencer and at least one protester arguing. Tabor says he stopped recording as the protest began to conclude and walked over to the sidewalk where his wife and 5-year-old daughter were standing.
“As I walked around the corner this gentleman pushed me. And when he pushed me the first time I turned my camera on and brought my camera up. I said please don’t push me. And when I said that he slapped my camera.” Tabor said. “He pushes me again. In the video you can see my body fall back. And I did not say anything to him, I didn’t engage him. I was going to, until he touched me wife.”
Tabor says Spencer pushed his wife and he pushed Spencer back. The video shows Spencer then punching Tabor in the face.
In the video, Spencer is seen telling Tabor that he hit him because Tabor pushed him. Spencer denies hitting Tabor’s wife. Both men have filed assault charges against each other.
Spencer referred FOX8 to his attorney Joe Williams, who said: “We are going to deal with this in the courtroom. Mr. Tabor is going to find out that being wealthy doesn’t make a difference in a courtroom.“
That comment by the lawyer pissed me off. Such a stupid thing to say.
UPDATE: Fox and Friends also covered it:
