Awoken this morning by radio alarm with local yokel ‘news’ guy parroting dem talking points about ‘stalking stark’ incident.  Then the first article I found was AP/bob lewis breathlessly reporting about serious-sounding ‘chokehold’ occurrence.  Uh-oh!  Citizen-journalist.  Vet!!  Ex-Marine!!!  It certainly sounded important.  Upon closer look, however, including at the video:

Apparent known stalker menacingly charges public servant engaged in campaign of ideas, screaming and knocking into several bystanders.  When this ‘trained killer’ refuses to cease his attempted assault, he escalates the physical violence with those justifiably trying to remove him.  Finally subdued and shown the door, he mutters ‘punk’. 

I think Kerry was wrong and mean-spirited when he maligned our brave troops, stating that servicemembers don’t “make the most of it” (education), don’t “study hard, ...do… homework and ...make an effort to be smart”.  But these demeaning words would seem to apply to Stark.

Stark’s website gives some clues about his depth of committment to and definition of free speech.  There he advises one to “study the terrain carefully before you join the battle”, the final step being the ‘showdown”.  We see in the video Stark studying the terrain as he careened through innocents in his attempt to assault Allen.  This (one-man) mob rule is what goes for intellectual discourse for liberals. 

It seems that Stark’s only other claim to fame is waving a poster with lurid words on it in front of a live-television camera during family hour.  Another example of liberals’ engagement in the realm of ideas.  Were those filthy words a an ‘illuminative quote” from one of Webb’s porno works?  Will Webb have the guts to apologize for these apparent criminal acts of his agent provocateur?
