i think olbermann played a clip of this on friday--i thought it was hysterical!

[rudeboy666]

1. That guy was an idiot.

[bahrbearian]

2. Yeah, he should have grabbed the I-phone

[Joe Chi Minh]

14. There's no law against idiots being allowed to congregate, or, as in this case, interact

with their own kind, is there?

[NoodleyAppendage]

3. Actually. I like the idea. Maybe a grassroots effort to screw up their location spots?

Let's make it "cool" to mess up the Faux location spots. No violence or mike grabbing. More in line with standing in the background and flipping the bird or using portable fog horns.

4. i thought the guy was great. anyone who thinks he was stupid and

grabbed the wrong thing just doesn't "get it"

[Chico Man]

5. Thtey were talking about iPhones

come on. The guy looked like a fool.

[progdonkey]

8. what is there to "get"?

Honestly, what is wrong with you that you find it "hilarious" when someone you don't like is assaulted and has something ripped out of her hands by an idiot passerby? Maybe he should've clocked her in the face when he took the mike, that would've been hysterical!

This reminds me of that other footage of a female reporter (incidentally, I think it might've been a Fox affiliate), where some jackass kept trying to stuff dollar bills down her blouse while she was trying to deliver a report.

It's rude and (in this instance) criminal. You can't walk up to someone and just grab something out of her hands that doesn't belong to you and run off with it. It's called theft.

10. fox has been stealing our airwaves for years--puking out crap on the

tv and print. now murdoch wants to take over the fucking wall street journal to counter the new york times.

fox viewers were convinced saddam was responsible for 9/11

but we should continue to be nice and respectful. let's not disrupt their fair and balanced reporting, regardless of the topic.

fuck that.

you might not have had enough of getting screwed by fox--but i have.


do you also think the freeway bloggers belong in jail for "vandalizing" a highway with an impeach bush sign? the republican county i live in had an arrest warrant out for two people who did just that. fox news would be glad to know these two were arrested and will be prosecuted by our republican state's attorney's office.

you ask what's wrong with me that i find this hilarious?

i might ask you the same--what's wrong with you that you find this offensive?

[pretzel4gore]

23. thanks for saying this

myself? i haven't got the energy :(
fox needs the john gibson fix

[Chico Man]

24. Highway signs?

Ripping something from someone's hands while they are trying to do their job is a flagrant violation of personal space.

It is akin to warrantless search and seizure in my book. If you condone this foolish man's actions, you condone being pulled over and searched for no reason whatsoever..

[orleans]

25. no i don't. don't tell me what i condone and what i don't. you don't

even fucking know me!

[Chico Man]

26. Since I don't know you

I certainly have the right to grab things out of your hands while you are working, to make a political statement, right? Is that what this country is all about?

The good thing about Fox news is that you don't have to watch. Actually, the good thing about television is that you don't have to own one.

[RagingInMiami]

21. It's one thing to grab a mike from the hands of a reporter

It's another to punch her in the face. Or stuff dollar bills down her blouse.

There is no comparison.

It might be rude. It might be juvenile. But it was hilarious in the whole absurdity of it. It would have been just as funny if it were a CNN or MSNBC reporter.

Nobody was hurt. The reporter regained her composure. And we're all left wondering what the fuck was that guy thinking. That's the funny part.

[cboy4]

6. All that thief did was generate sympathy for FAUX. (A) If he

needed to do that, why do it during a features story?

and (B), he would have been ah thousand times more effective holding up a sign during the live shot that said, "FOX SUCKS" or "FOX LIES, SOLDIERS DIE."

But to run off with the microphone....I just don't think that was cool................................................ even though I say:

[Joe Chi Minh]

15. You've got it exactly wrong. Fox are very basic recidicvists. Horses for

courses.

[cboy4]

18. Actually, I have it exactly correct, but you're entitled to your

opinion of being wrong and you position of supporting law-breakers.

[RagingInMiami]

7. that was hilarious!

[perfectively]

9. lame

This dude is lame. That was not a laudable act of civil disobedience. He certainly achieved his 15 seconds of fame though!

[RagingInMiami]

22. How do you even know it was meant to be an act of civil disobedience?

Maybe he was just acting on a dare?

[raouldukelives]

11. Why does he hate America?

And where is Fox security when you need them?

[orleans]

12. fox security is knocking on doors for billo, trying to scare people

out of calling his show.

[ooglymoogly]

13. I'll add my voice to hillarious....and a big hat tip to the

mike lifter...Hope one of the fair and balanced justice dept officials don't get hold of him....BEWARE THE GOODY TWO SHOES POSTERS!

[Joe Bacon]

16. A pie in the face would have been much more fun!

:evilgrin:

[LoZoccolo]

17. I found a real good quality version of this, but it's not on YouTube.

19. He didn't scream BaBa Booey? n/t

[LeftyMcDemocrat]

20. i'll add my vote to...

hilarious!
