Remember in March when Congressman Cleaver was spit on in DC?
I just got a Facebook message from a friend working the Democratic party booth at a local festival. The folks supporting Cleaver's opponent are walking by the Dem booth spitting on the people working it.

I swear to God, I really truly despise these assholes.

1. Spitting on someone is assault.
Plain and simple. Those people are lucky I'm not tabling there.

2. If I were working that booth and if they were to spit on me,
they would lose what they have to spit with. Not kidding.

3. If they are accepting that treatment, and letting it pass, they are complicit.
I swear, Dems are acting more like abused wives every day.

7. A libertarian named Jacob Turk
He runs against Cleaver every two years and gets a small percent of the vote.

He's a twit with lots of money. He puts big signs up on Ward Parkway and has a ton of volunteers who are obnoxious, as you can tell by the spitting.

But no, Turk never has a prayer of a chance of actually beating Cleaver.

5. Can someone with a cell phone or camera video it?
Get a visual/audio record of it and take it to the police and the media.

10. Why didn't they come prepared to do that themselves?
Its not like they didn't have a clue what they were up against.

12. I would handle this a little different...
I would put an article in the local paper stating that I had worked in the booth on that day and some people had spit on the workers. Of course, being concerned about my health, I had brought the 'specimens' to a laboratory and, due to the results, I would suggest that the spitters see their doctors as soon as possible. :evilgrin:
