86 year old NYC Granny assaults * supporter

[Richardson08]

An Upper West Side woman says she was am-Bushed by a cane-wielding 86-year-old woman who apparently isn't fond of the president.
Linda Fuda, 62, told The Post she was waiting in the lobby of a friend's Central Park West building yesterday carrying a Bush/Cheney sign and bumper stickers when Ruth Spitz, who was also in the lobby, suddenly accosted her.

Spitz told her "get out of here with that trash, you don't belong here," Fuda said.

Fuda answered, "It's not your building, it's everyone's building," at which point, she says, Spitz ripped the sign and threw it down.

"I bent down to pick it up, and she hit my backside with her cane and then she tried to push me out the door." Fuda said.

Woo Hoo!

2. Obviously, no one told Ms Fuda that

political speech is restricted to a holding pen somewhere underneath the West Side Highway. Why do those repukes hate our freedom to campaign underneath a highway?

3. For the record..

.... the old lady admits ripping the sign but denies that she hit anyone.

If the pug bitch doesn't have a witness she can pack sand. :)

12. She shouldn't even bother denying it

Put her on trial in NYC and they'll start doing the wave in the jury box.

Classic.

14. LOL...

... probably so, but if she really didn't do it, she should deny it :)

4. Waiting in the lobby?

I would have kicked her out too. Most buildings have security buzzers. No one who lives in the building should be letting outsiders in.

And most buildings prohibit solicitors from entering the premises which is probably what she looked like with her stooopid sign.

I say the old lady gets another notch in her cane for whupping Repugs.

5. Obviously protecting her building

from unlicensed, spontaneous parades. :P

10. Why was the woman hanging out in the lobby with a bush sign and stickers?

Hmmm.. sounds to me like she was campaigning in there, not "waiting for a friend". I REALLY believe that the 86 year old woman hit her and tried to shove her out the door. THat's ONE baaaad granny! Of course, this is from NY Post... isn't that a tabloid?

about attacks on WTC before sept 11th!

19. I don't think I would be admitting it if I got my ass kicked by an 86 yr

old granny - cane or no cane.
