Was Fitzgerald’s “early success” responsible for Novak’s“act of violence?"

I read this thread on DU:

"Novak was flipped early by Fitz (WP via Atrios)"

and remembered this story:

01/27/2004 Archived Entry: "NH citizen gets under Novakula's skin...."

Just got off the phone with Symbolman - he was outside the Merrimac Restaurant in Manchester, NH where CNN is broadcasting, and he said things got a bit testy when Bob Novak came out of the restaurant, heading for the CNN bus.

Apparently, someone from the crowd got on Novak's case, calling him a traitor a few times. Novak went ballistic - Sym decribed it as a 'Lee Harvey Oswald moment' - and went over and shoved the guy, sending him sprawling.

My, my, talk about testy! "Conscience" bothering you, Bob? Which is it: Traitor to the US or traitor to your "pals?"

2. The Douchebag of Liberty is toast!!!

His claim to fame was that he had all these contacts in the repuke inner sanctum who told him all kinds of secret squirrel shit that nobody else knew. He always used to say "my sources tell me..." but you can pretty much bet nobody's gonna tell him shit from here on out. My guess is we've seen the last of him and just wait until it dawns on the lunatic fringe that he ratted out KKKarl rove. I'm going to get more popcorn right now.
