The news was all over blogtopia (yeah yeah yeah Skippy) this afternoon: Calling All Wingnuts proprietor, law student and gadfly Mike Stark was assaulted today by several members of Senator George Allen’s staff. (Don’t sweat the provocative headline; read the story itself. It’s a real corker. Violent outbursts, indeed.)
Well, Mike is fighting back. He’s pressing charges against Senator Macaca.
I will be pressing charges against George Allen and his surrogates later today. George Allen, at any time, could have stopped the fray. All he had to do was say, “This is not how my campaign is run. Take your hands off that man.” He could have ignored my questions. Instead he and his thugs chose violence. I spent four years in the Marine Corps. I’ll be damned if I’ll let my country be taken from me by thugs that are afraid of taking responsibility for themselves.
All I can say is you go, Mike.
