Did the Tea Party Terrorists Kidnap a Reporter?
Edited on Mon Oct-18-10 01:18 PM by TheBigotBasher
The editor of the Alaska Dispatch website was held by by U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller's team of hired goons. The reporter attempted to interview Miller at the end of a public event in an Anchorage school.

Miller, is running for the US Senate and represents the Political Wing of the Tea Party Terror movement. His hired thugs handcuffed Hopfinger and detained him in a hallway at Central Middle School.

The Anchorage police later secured the release of Hopfinger.

Dropzone, the Security firm employed by the Tea Party Terrorists claimed Hopfinger of trespassing at the public event, which was a town hall sponsored by the Political Wing of the Tea Party movement.

Miller has not responded on behalf of the Political Wing of the Tea Party Terror movement but he is expected say something like, "Blame Obamacare. More Tax cuts. Blame Librul media".

It is reported Anchorage Police spent an hour in their attempt to secure the release and obtain witness statements.

3. Oh, I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding.
People get accidentally handcuffed all the time.

7. Yes, and it should end Joe Miller's bid for the Senate, unless journalists no longer care
about their own safety.

Hey, Anderson Cooper, you're next.

Then how about a few NPR, ABC, CBS, and NBC reporters?

Maybe Joe MIller's mercenaries will waterboard them for good measure?

8. Let's see how those 'freedom of the press' loving corporate media
hacks are prepared to make enough noise about one of their own being kidnapped in America.

A journalist was handcuffed and detained by a RETHUG candidate's goons. ReTHUGS are THUGS.
