Just reported. I guess Symbolman actually witnessed it and will no doubt give us a full report.

[arcane1]

1. hey Novak, the truth hurts, don't it?

bastard

[KissMyAsscroft]

2. I would say the same, right to his old face.

He should be in jail. He is a traitor and a coward.

[Valjean]

17. Novack, Stossel, Rivera

Bob Novack, Jon Stossel and Geraldo Rivera should be made to share a cell someplace. Is would be the trash journalist capital of the world.

[King_Crimson]

22. That's called...

A TOILET!! :hurts:

[SoCalDem]

3. CNN has some cranky old farts..

That AM guy, who ran over a guy on a bike, and now ole Chiclet Chompers attacks a guy..

Anger Management classes guys???


I hope got it on tape.. Fox would pay him big bucks for it :):)

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

38. And on Fox, they have Shepherd Smith who ran down

some lady with his car because she took his parking space. These media people are getting out of control! Must be their huge egos.

[countmyvote4real]

4. WOW!

The link mentioned that there might be video, but too bad. No media whore network will show it.

[Logansquare]

I think McLaughlin would show it

Just to punk him.

[hobbes159]

5. Well, if Novak goes to prison for assault....

instead of for revealing a CIA agent's identity, it's better than nothing...

[proud patriot]

6. hee heee .. oh ummm That's terrible

:think: :wow: chuckle symbolman I'm so jealous you got into an argument
with Tucker

[cprise]

7. "Get over it, Novack is an old man..."

He is the FIST within the MUMU.

[proud patriot]

8. I wonder if there will be anything on this on Mike Malloy

Hee hee hee Lee harvey oswald moment
ROFLMAO

[Cleita]

9. Hoo boy!

Let's hope he gets nailed for it.

[waterman]

10. Maybe he and Franken could duke it out on pay-per-view

Provided, of course, that either of these stories turns out to be true.

[jpak]

11. Lucky he didn't make fun of Novak's fake eyebrows

we'd be talking felony assault...

:)

[americanstranger]

12. I got the skinny from Sym - he caught the guy who got shoved!

More of the story is now up on TBTM.... and we'll be updating it there as we learn more.

Sym was behind the guy who got pushed, and caught him as he fell backwards. The guy is now considering filing assault charges against Novak.

To anyone in Manchester who was there: if you saw what happened or maybe had a still camera or video of the incident, contact us at TBTM:

[e-mail] or [e-mail]

We may be helping the victim with legal representation should he decide to file charges.

Sym apparently got into an argument with Tucker Carlson, who told Sym to 'get over it' because Novak was an 'old man.' Sym asked Tucker if he could give the BowTie a shove and see how he liked it.

We might have video of the incident. Stay tuned!

PS: For those who don't know, Blah3 is my 'other car' - the blog I keep while I'm not doing TBTM.

[Logansquare]

13. Have to give Atrios the credit for my posting this

so quickly. You guys must be posting and reading each others reports like crazy!

[americanstranger]

14. Actually, I posted it on his comments.

That's the best way to get him a story quickly. :)

I keep an eye on Eschaton all day. And A obviously watches his comments.

[prolesunited]

15. Can't wait for the updates!

You guys sure are in the center of the storm lately. Stay safe! :hi:

[Nlighten1]

16. Someone posted Novak's phone number over there.

in the comments

[burrowowl]

18. Keep us posted! eom

[americanstranger]

19. A complaint has been filed.

Symbolman reports that the man who was shoved has filed a complaint with the New Hampshire police.

We are hoping to have an interview ready to go for tomorrow's news.

-as

[Bozita]

20. Don Waller is on with Malloy NOW -- listening link

www.ieamericaradio.com

the guy's filing a complaint.

[proud patriot]

21. Yep , talking about it now

:hi:

[Skittles]

23. I AM LOVING IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHATEVER HAPPENS, ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE FACT THAT A CITIZEN THINKS NOVAK IS A TRAITOROUS BASTARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Military Brat]

24. His phone number is 202-393-4340. He'd love to hear from DU

I called the number, had to leave a message. Basically told him that if he hadn't outed Valerie Plame, he wouldn't be branded a traitor. Told him the last time I checked, free speech was still allowed in this country (oops, forgot about bush zones). Also told him to grow up.

I think the gentleman will win the assault case against Novak. I'm glad this happened. The Repubs are showing their true colors more and more, and it ain't a pretty sight.

[renegade000]

28. heh DC area code

[lazarus]

40. FYI

For any who think that's a private number, I checked, it's very public. His office number.

Even Newsmax is listing it. :evilgrin:

[kodi]

25. christ, i hope he didn't droole on the guy, novak's rabid

.

[gulfcoastliberal]

26. Please Press Charges

A pesky civil suit wouldn't hurt, either. Just to keep it in the public domain.

[Hubert Flottz]

27. Democrat Haters are Bob!

Bob needs to see Rush's housekeeper about some good Republicon Chill Pills! I hope the bastard blows the final fuse! Too many Viagras I rectum!

[populistmom]

29. That's what I'd call him too

Wonder if he'd hit a woman too? Well, he sold out a CIA operative who was a woman, so why not!

[Cleita]

32. Considering how he hates Hillary Clinton, I wouldn't

put anything past him. He has proven himself over and over to be a mysoginist with his verbal abuse of any woman he doesn't approve of. He luffs Laura though. She knows her place like all good little women, seen but not heard.

[kaitykaity]

30. Victor Boc, local hate radio host in Portland, Oregon,

was making all kinds of whining noises about Al Franken
tackling that heckler.

I sent this to Mr. Boc asking him whether or not he felt
any outrage that a 'conservative' had attacked a heckler.

Know what? Mr. "I Suck Bush's Cock For A Living" didn't
have a word to say.

Funny how that works.

[Stephanie]

31. Truth hurts

He's not the only traitor - what about the (still unnamed) traitors in the WH?

[annagull]

33. Aww, Bob the Traitor got his feelings hurt

Seems like he would have a thicker skin after all the verbal assaults he lays on Democrats every day. Must be because the truth really hurts!

[symbolman]

34. strange day all around..

I'll write the whole story out tomorrow and see about encoding some of the film shot at the event.. we'll be getting the police report in a few days as well..

We also followed the little shit with a camera after someone ELSE called him a Traitor at the Kerry event and he decided to not be in the room anymore..

it's funny, really, no one was hurt (altho the shoved guy - who DID NOT go flying though the air - COULD have slipped in the icy sidewalk and opened up his head or crushed his spine..

I'll never forget the animal like look on Novakula's face (jelly white) right before he was dragged away from the scene.. his fist still locked up tight and pulled back, ready to punch our friend out..

I'm pretty sure it was Begala that pushed him onto the CNN Bus, Begala came out while there was still hubub and actually SLUNK around the front of the bus and the curb to avoid the crowd.. I spotted him and yelled at him, "Hey Begala! You want to explain why Novak assaulted this guy right here?" but he didn't even look back.. gone..

more later, have to get some sleep - we've been covering the Primary here for over two weeks..

Novak is losing his mind, I've worked in two nuthouses and I know the look... and once they get violent, they're gone.. too hot in his lil mental kitchen..

once again, any pics or film from anyone there will help bolster the case -- unlike what Stranger has said elsewhere, TBTM is NOT taking on our friend's case -- we were witnesses and know someone that wants to hire a lawyer in the morning for Brad, but WE aren't suing anyone..

However, I WILL be asking for Novak's RESIGNATION On Take Back the Media.. he's out of control and it appears he's committed a CRIME with many witnesses.

[americanstranger]

35. I didn't say we were suing anybody....

Why would we want to do that? :)

-as

[Michael Harrington]

36. I find that fact...

...that Tucker has morphed into such an apologist for old Wingnut geezers (like Heston, who he portrays as slobbering into his Cream of Wheat when he's attacked) slightly creepy. It's like he's their Kept Boy or something. I wish somebody had knocked him on his smug ass.

[lazarus]

42. sheesh

Is Begala really that whored out? Pathetic.

[Must_B_Free]

43. Begala is a

f'ing cok sucre. Hs is as much of a traitor to democrats as Novak is to America.

[HootieMcBoob]

47. C'mon that crazy

Begala has done a hell of a lot for us. If he were to go off on Novak he wouldn't have the platform he has now on crossfire. Who's the only guy on any major media outlet who has been almost daily, for years now, calling Bush* AWOL? Paul Begala that's who.

I'm sorry but he needs to be defended. I'm sure he feels that Novak is a crazy old bastard who sold out his country for his political friends as much of any of us does but he's not in a position at the moment to do anything about it. Give him the benefit of the doubt.

<edit: clarity>

[annagull]

53. Thanks, Symbolman---so not the first time he was called traitor

I bet he has been getting alot of that since he was out of his Washington lair. Brad must have been the last straw for him. Man, I cannot wait to see the video. Also, great coverage on TBTM from you all, you have been doing a great job!

[0rganism]

37. Yup, reads like aggravated assault and battery

That there's some possible prison time for Mr. Novak.

A civil suit would also be exceedingly enjoyable.

Looks like there's plenty of witnesses, too. This could be an Excellent circus, a lawyer might take this case pro-bono just for the fame factor.

[Hubert Flottz]

39. MAD GEEK DISEASE,,,CONDITION BROWN! ** (Deep Bushit)

This TV trial will take the heat off of masters Jackson and Peterson! Boob has a Friend who's a famous lawyer, named re-Gretta Von Cesspool! Maybe she can help Bob get off with a plea bargain!(insanity? (He's just crazy about Bush?) If re-Greda can't spring Nofact, then I reckon he and Rush will have lots of quality hard time together, to bond and to dwell on their sinful ways and maybe straighten themselves up a wee tad! Bob had just better hope Rush ain't strung out on Viagra too!

"If The Shoe Fits, You Must Not Acquit!"

[0rganism]

55. If the eyebrow fits, you must acquit!

I like this idea, it has potential.

[Cleita]

51. Mark Geragos is too busy with Scott Peterson and

Michael Jackson, but I guess Johnny Cochran could be dusted off.

[Hubert Flottz]

57. Johnny may have issues with a rabid racist repub type!

Bob has turned to terra, so he don't get a lawyer I don't think! We may not hear from him again if his pal AshCross picked him up! The Bushco's might punch BooB's ticket(the last ride)just to keep him from blabbing on them!

[Loonman]

41. PRESS CHARGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nail his traitor ass right to the wall!

[OneTwentyoNine]

44. I didn't know Novak could be out during daylight hours....eom

[GreenPartyVoter]

45. Sent CNN a note

Not that it will do a bit of good *sigh*

[King Coal]

46. Dialing....Ring... Ring

Honey, will you please the the VCR to record Crossfire at 2:30, Thanks Darlin' Ah, what simple pleasures.

[Bandit]

48. Feeling the pressure and I suspect CNN is also

They are going to can his ass and it delights me to no end. He deserves jail for the rest of his life but if he gets canned it will be something anyway. Money is the most important thing in the world to Novak, probably even more so than his freedom so if he loses his paycheck it will sting like all blazes. People are starting to awaken and Bush* and cronies aren't gunna like it.

[SoCalDem]

49. No one can really "fire" a guy like him..He has connections

He was always just an "inside" man for the RNC.. He goes back a LONG way...all the way to Nixon, and maybe even before that.. He proved his "loyalty" long ago, and his cover as a "journalist" and editorial writer gave him the perfect credentials to do just what he has been doing for all these years.. He is there to sway public opinion and cover up the shit in the litter box that is RNC politics..

If CNN fires him, he will continue to write, and will then just be a "consultant" or "analyst"...

Novak is "un-gettable" , unless he were to be indicted for the Plame Affair ..(That's unlikely to happen)..

He could always write for NewsMax and appear on the air at Faux, but he was always more valuable to the RNC if he was employed by more mainstream venues.. He will eventually end up at CNBC or MSGOP..or failing that, FAUX..

Slimy bastards like him are hard to get rid of.. and he knows it :(

[Bandit]

50. Yes but the CNN paycheck would not be there

He may write for some other places but not on a daily basis and have the audience he now has. He will be relegated to Conservative Papers only and they are diminishing in audience. People are not renewing subscriptions to mags like Spectator. They are now and have been for some time losing money. He needs a national audience to be effective and it is in danger at the moment. IMHO

[Mrs. Overall]

52. Did Anyone See Novak Last Night

commenting on the New Hampshire results? It was after 9pm on the west coast, so it was after midnight on the east coast. He looked horrible--more pale and gaunt than usual and he was speaking with this thin, gentle, contrived, soft voice. He almost appeared to have been a little tipsy or on some sort of medication. For a moment I almost felt sorry for him--he just seemed so pathetic, but he really should be held accountable for his recent actions, even if he is an old man on his way down.

[yellowcanine]

54. Nobody stuck their foot out to trip Novak?

I am disappointed in those NH folks. That would have been quite the spectacle. NoFacts upended in a snowbank.

[Fleshdancer]

56. Life's a little different outside of the Beltway, isn't it Novak?

Here in the REAL WORLD, people don't give passes to assholes who put the lives of Americans in danger for political gain.

[GOPisEvil]

58. Holy Henry B. Gonzalez Batman!

If Henry were alive today and cold-cocked a guy who called him a Communist the press would be all over him. Similarly, if it were Carville or Begala who hit someone, they'd have been fired already.
