While attempting to shoot some video in the name of journalistic ambiance, LEO Weekly Reporter Jonathan Meador was physically assaulted by local businessman J.D. Sparks at the Republican Party of Kentucky's annual Lincoln Day Dinner.

1. The GOP Smart ass Punks have no idea how they are helping to ruin their BRAND NAME

Looked like he is of age to join the Army....why is he not in the Army?

Posing as a chicken hawk POS is why....

2. Something I'd really like to see...

I'd love to see someone throw a finger lock on one of these pushy little bastards. Get physical? Have a broken finger.

4. According to the LEO blog:

We plan to file charges against Mr. Sparks on Wednesday. We’ll update the blog accordingly.

'sg' is Stephen George, who I assume is affiliated with LEO Weekly.

I realize that overfed conservatroid Baby Huey MFers have every reason to go insane lately, but it's no excuse for assault, so let's get his violent acts on record.

5. anyone can buy a suit and wear it.........

I have a former friend who became a right wing evangelical nut (he used to be pacifist Christian like me, and was very open-minded until he started attending a fundamentalist church that I didn't know about until it was too late and they had him reading newsmax and assailing the 'liberal media'), and once he joined up with them - he started wearing.....

drum roll ---

SUITS!

He usually dressed with non-insignia t-shirts or plain collared dress shirts and khakis, and somehow, when the fundyism got to his brain and "corrected his thinking", it also encouraged him to wear SUITS!

Again,

Anyone can buy a suit and wear it.

That big blowhard should be in Iraq like my brothers were.

8. Bunning & McConnell were in the room.

Bunning was roughly twenty-feet away when shit turned bad. It occurred to me that this piece of information might be helpful...
