New Thread
Published by Mike Stark October 30th, 2006 in UncategorizedOK - somebody just asked for something new. Fair enough.
I’ve been incredibly busy. Right now I’m working on two more campaign ads (you may have seen the first one - if not, here it is).
I’m also trying to “Roger and Me” George Allen whenever I can. And all of this is on top of a full 1L schedule at UVa…
So yeah… I miss doing this stuff - it seemed that at least once a month, something would happen that really got the adrenaline flowing… I miss those tasty morsels of victory.
But hell… hopefully we’re about to get the main course. Get out and vote Tuesday. Bring ten friends.
And after we’ve taken the Congress back… hold our leaders accountable.
And do me a favor… Listen to Rush and Hannity and O’Reilly on Wends. Gloat a little for me… Enjoy their anguish. I sure as hell will.
I’m torn between calling up and saying “Ha Ha Ha” or “Ha Ha Ha Ha”. The latter would seem to be gloating a bit too much. Still, the last time we thought there was a lock on votes, we find out there’s shenanigans going on election night.
I’ve no problem if a man or woman I disagree with gets honestly elected. When those in power take the “elections bend to my will or I neuter them” mindset is when I get angry.
Let this new Congress do something to clean up national elections and control gerrymandering.
Keep up the studies Mike. Good skills to you.
Mike, you crazy mofo! Next time roll with some backup. Take care.
I’m also trying to “Roger and Me” George Allen whenever I can.
Sorry to see you get assaulted by Allen’s goons. I hope that you are ok. Keep up the good fight!
Maybe you should beef up a bit, Michael-Moore-style, then they wouldn’t have been able to rush you like that. Fucking stormtroopers.
I’m also trying to “Roger and Me” George Allen whenever I can.
Yeah.
How’s that going?
Was that you at the omni hotel?? I couldn’t tell, but it looked like it might have been you. If so, wow man, you have almost single handedly made Charlottesville a nightmare for Felix.
If it was you, I hope you’re ok.
Well, looks like you’ve managed to bring us something new : )
Hey Mike-
Just checking to see if you’re okay- let us know over at DKos whenever you can…
{{hugs}}
….. and I hope you got a couple shots in while they were manhandling you…..
Looks to me like an Assault & Battery complaint. Don’t let ‘em get away with it.
Holy cow, Mike! Just heard about Macacaman’s thugs attacking you. I hope you’re okay.
Wow!
Don’t you hate it when people don’t close tags?
Congrats on the “Roger & Me”/”Wrestlemania” sideshow at the Senator George “Lugie Macacawitz” Allen appearance today. I guess you hit a nerve with your question, although the video in NBC29 didn’t seem to have audio. It took three of Allen’s staffers to take you down! Those staffers should adopt the same diet, sleep, and workout regime of a first year law student at UVA that you’ve adopted. Keep up the good work and good luck at school.
Good for you Mike. Have not been to your site but saw what happened to you.
We need to start playing the Neocon game and give a name to people such as yourself along the lines of Big fat O’rielly’s Culture Warrior. Maybe Warriors For Truth.
Saw the Omni Hotel video. Here’s your TODO list.
Today: Get a good publicist. Allen staffers assaulting a constituent ought to get airplay wide and far, above and beyond allegations that Allen spat on his first wife.
Next Wednesday: Get a good lawyer, and press criminal charges and a civil suit.
Roger Smith never got his goons to punch Michael Moore about the face and neck.
I’ve seen the video and hope that you’re well.
Mike, it appears you’re doing a good job gathering media attention. (Just read about you in the RTD.) But what are you adding to the campaign? With all of the serious issues in the world (and I absolutely agree that the candidates don’t discuss them in detail enough), how do attention-grabbing tactics like asking Allen about spitting at his wife or using racial slurs decades ago shed any light on anything of any importance in this election? I would think you’d want to do something more constructive than acts that are just going to be ignored and get you booted from events.
i wanna know what was the so called rude question about his wife they said you asked?
i could get really really rude speculating…
So you went up and hollered a question “did you ever spit on your wife”. As a law student you felt comfortable asking a question based on sealed court documents.
You wanted a confrontation and you violated any question of civlity. Seriously what did you expect.
Mike! Dude that was brave of you. I would suggest you hit the weights though, before you try that again. I always figured you were a bigger guy with the enormous Balls you’ve got.
The good news is that it’s all on tape and you probably just got your law school tuition paid off.
Cheers!
EB
What was it you said? Did he respond (vocally) to you? You should get a little national exposure out of this. I hope he does.
Nice work, Mike! You are obviously making a difference to get that kind of a reaction from Allen’s staff!
Please, please sue them!!!
Mike, have you tried to give your side of the story? Every newstory we’re seeing about this is completely biased towards Allen’s goons. (Btw, you should’ve judo tossed that old guy.)
Mike, can you sue ole George Allen now? Either that or file an assault charge against someone. I hope you were not hurt. Let us know we are worried about you.
Way to go Mike. Please sue these assholes, hope u’re ok. Keep up the good fight.
Mike, I can only echo the others, you need to go with backup or you’d better beef up. Those goons were not playing. I hope you are ok and are filing that lawsuit this afternoon.
Too bad you didnt get curbed for your bullshit attacks on the senator’s wife. If you insist on acting like an ass, you should not be supprised when you get you ass kicked.
You’d think a guy would want to clarify exactly why he spit on his first wife. Maybe she had it coming, for goodness sake. Maybe he was just gettin’ rid of a plug.
Maybe she didn’t George’s pet name for her: “spitoon”. Rumor in Virginia is she preferred “cuspidor”.
This will finish Allen.
And good on you for resisting the urge to take a swing at these bastards.
Bullies are afraid of those with courage, and Macacaman proved it today.
Be well.
File that suit buddy. And I’m glad you didn’t hit back. That would have been a disaster. Yes, I know that you’re a former marine and you could have kicked their ass. But let them draw you into violence.
Wait Wait, TYPO!
I mean, “But DON’T let them draw you into violence.”
!!!!!!!!!!
I saw the story in Yahoo News, and immediately thought, “Mike Stark? You mean, ‘Calling All Wingnuts’ Mike Stark?” It’s a shame the story didn’t mention your blog, but I guess they haven’t figured that part out yet. The bruises may hurt, but the negative publicity for Allen has gotta taste sweeeeeet. GO MIKE!
Wow! You must have hit a nerve–sure hope you’re okay! Thanks for being on the front lines with these goons. You’re exposing them for what they REALLY are…. way to plant your feet firmly and have THEM get called for charging.
hi Mike,
just wanted to let you and others know: I am sending a $100. donation to the Webb campaign. Hadn’t planned to donate but, seeing the video of them assaulting you I decided to help support Webb in his race against that contemptible loser and his thuggish staff. They belong out on the streets if not in jail.
I will also be writing to both the Webb and Allen campaigns to tell them about my donation & why.
And if _you_ want any donations for legal assistance, for (a) suing their a**es off, and/or (b) to fight off the inevitable bogus charges/counter-suit against you which will likely be their first response, please let us all know!
take care!!
Please - what was the reference to spitting on 1st wife - is he like Newt with wife in hospital ?
I hope you are ok.
And I hope this spells doom for Allen. If you look at the video from the TV station, you’ll notice that the title they put on the story is “Stomping for Votes”.
I think Virginians are embarassed. They have to vote Allen out now. Come on Virginians! Deal the southern stereotype a big blow and vote for Webb!
Mike, you alright? I saw the vid on MYDD with the Allen thugs gettin’ crazy with you.
Show folks how serious this is and file assault charges against all of them.
I would press charges and promulgate this incident in the media as much as I can. What a disgrace that Allen is to Virginia. Truly humiliating.
What a clueless little boy you are. IF the dems manage to win one or both chambers, what will that mean? The democratic party will still be a drowning man clinging to hatred of Bush as a life raft. That will only go so far, and there’s nothing else. Nothing. I’ve seen 4 different democratic candidates here in Florida run ads calling themselves conservatives. If America is really shifting toward liberal policies, then where are the Republicans running as liberals? For that matter, where are the democrats running as liberals? The comment about gloating on Wednesday just shows how shallow, short-sighted, and clueless you are. Any gains made by the democrats this year will be a band-aid on a gaping wound; namely the party’s inability to admit that the American people simply do not subscribe to the lala land socialist tripe it has offered up in the form of candidates like gore and kerry. I doubt that the victory you’re anticipating will materialize, but be sure to enjoy it if it does. As long as obnoxious children like yourself are the voice of the democratic party, the victory will be very shortlived.
Bravo! That C’ville incident was funny. Reminds me of an old folk ditty:
“My sweetheart’s a mule in the mines,
I drive her without any lines,
I sit on the bumper and spit out tobacc’r
All over my sweetheart’s behind…”
As for the other Allen things, I’m not sure what’s wrong with keeping a noose around. In fact, I have a noose around a pc laptop computer hanging from a tree in the yard, with an axe firmly planted in the back of it, splitting it wide open. Me, I call it art. A statement about modern society.
wow. quite an event. could someone update me on the George Allen spitting on his wife story? i havent heard that one before…
OK, the new version of the story has a single comment from you and identifies your blog (and the N-word confrontation).
Thank you for all the services you provided for us in this country.
You have guts. You can probably retire, and go fishing in which
you probably deseve, but you keep fighting. Inspirational. Come
on everyone just a week to go.
Reminds me of my activist days, ours was over the TV airwaves for way less than this, awesome work!
Hey, good work there in the Omni. Who would’ve thought a Senatorial candidate would refuse to take a minute and answer a constituent’s questions? Were you not allowed a press pass?
and, did you have a camera?
Democracy in action.
Anyway, Crooksandliars has some video of the incident. I hope you have good lawyers up there. File charges ASAP if you think you can.
Holy shit Mike! You may have been the straw that broke the macaca’s back! VERY proud of you!
Semper fi- you rock. Accomack Jarhead
Mike are you okay? It looked like the Brownshirts tried to push you through a plate glass window. Everybody is talking about being proud of you for not fighting ack, but they’re not the ones who were attacked, hope you’re not hurt.
Yeah…file a lawsuit…typical liberal response when something doesn’t go their way. I can’t beat ‘em…so I’ll sue ‘em!! Hopefully Mike (being a law student) has a sense of the overcrowded courts and will avoid bringing about a frivolous lawsuit.
FIGHT YOUR OWN BATTLES YOU WUSSES, LEAVE IT OUT OF THE COURTS
You looked like the fool you are.
Little boy.
You are an absolute idiot.
Mike, it’s a good thing you’re going to law school, as you can represent yourself in the suit you file with George Allen’s thugs. Unbelievable. Give us a report with all the details!
Get one of your profs to pro bono sue the fuck out of those bastards.
From CBS 19:Allen was approached by a man and asked why he had spit in the face of his first wife. After Allen did not answer, the man became aggressive and Allen staffers and supporters tackled him to the ground and forcibly removed him from the hotel.
Your freedom to ask a question doesn’t not allow you to menace those who will not answer you. People there felt threaten not by your question but by your behavior.
Everyone else here will call you a hero. But your not “saving Anne Frank”- you’r a first year law student demanding Allen answer a question which you have ZERO knowledge of the truth of because the records are sealed.
People thought you might harm someone- but defeating Allen for you is more important then anything. “By any means necessary’ right?
DUUUUUUUDE……
Take care of yourself out there. Can’t wait to see what you post out of this. Any networks wanna interview you yet? How about traffic here? Must be up big.
Good luck and stay safe ~ PEACE
Mike:
How’re you doing, dude? What Allen’s flying monkeys did to you (I just saw the video at Eschaton) is a sad commentary on the current state of Republican politics. They’re no better than loan sharks and their cheap leg-breakers. I have every confidence that they knew exactly who you were.
As a commenter above just speculated, this will finish Allen for good. If this doesn;t widen the gap between Macacawitz and Webb, nothing will.
So consider yourself someone who made a noble sacrifice for the common good (the sacrifice being your dignity).
We gotcher back, pal. Keep up the good work!
did you get the names of the Allen goons? I would really like to know who they are and how close they are to Allen.
Mike, I know you were trying to provoke Allen, but his goons looked like they were ready for action. It’s awesome that the footage was captured & distributed, but I can’t help wondering what the look on Allen’s face was. I hope you didn’t get hurt too badly.
And all this time I thought “physical commitment” meant, you know, knocking on doors.
Sorry you can’t take somebody calmly doing to you what you screamed at Allen.
By all means necessary, right?
Dude, you okay? I guess that’s what you get when you try to exercise your inalienable rights…well, now thanks to shrub they are dispensable. File suit, press charges, make them pay.
Interestingly enough, on the local coverage from CnL, the caption read “stomping for votes” which I’m sure wasn’t intentional. Stormtroopers stomping.
Mike,
They’re going to love a punk ass pussy boy like you in prison. Way to go loser.
Was expecting a little more from someone like yourself. I mean you give such great advice (actually you don’t) and the best you can come up with is I’m going to try that Fat Fart Michael Moore’s technique….
Anyway, next time stop pushing your way through the crowd. It was very rude and that’s what brought attention to you.
Mike….Between the n-word saga and this, you might just go down in the history books as the man who single-handedly derailed Allen’s Senatorial career, as well as any presidential aspirations he may have fostered. Well worth a few bumps and bruises I am sure. Talk about David taking down Goliath. Good job.
Take Akido, it’s the perfect self-defense martial art…wrist and arm locks work, and they’re painful.
First, help drive that piece of shit out of the Senate, then sue him and his staff for every fuckin’ cent they have. Great work, dude. Sorry you got beat down though.
Hope you sue the crap out of those nazis that attacked you.
the vid is up on crooksandliars
take allen down mike…sue the bastard
Mike,
I haven’t seen the incident on line yet, but I did see a short clip on TV. I was surprised a bit, Hey I recognize that guy with the backpack. Hope you’re OK. Lets get revenge at the ballot box.
Everyone needs to get out and someway help a campaign. We owe it to each other.
You must be very happy with the blog- you now have your very own gated community by not allowing any post that might upset you.
Proud of you Mike. Repubs attack a Marine, who is going to college. You didn’t resist at all, to their unwarranted attack; and its on tape. Sue their asses off.
If you can find the time, goto Americablog and post over there. Trust me, you have thousands and thousands of friends over there.
Get your story out. The media is trying to spin it as you are a hecker, who had to be handled.
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/10/31/mike-stark-assaulted-by-george-allens-campaign/
mike has an open and shut case
hey mike…george allen just payed your way through law school…lets give the ex senator a round of applause
mike your a pussy! you let an old man take you down. you could not fight your way out of a sack of shit!
“it seemed that at least once a month, something would happen that really got the adrenaline flowing… I miss those tasty morsels of victory.”
Well there you go! Bon apetit!
Assault and battery seems like a good starting point.
That was awesome! With much admiration, Former Virginian
Mike, you are a disgrace to UVA. To live to stir up trouble shows your character. Debate the issues instead of making hit and run verbal assaults. I know a wuss like yourself will surely press charges. I do not care if you were a marine or not, you are still a wuss and most marines I know would love to show you how they feel. You are nothing but a left-wing kool-ade drinker.
Mike!!! You did it again. If I was there I would have coldcocked that old man. Godamn brownshirts. Nice job buddy. The story of Allen spitting in his wife’s face deserves to be public.
This is a one way blog. The little boy can’t take criticism.
You are one stupid fucker!
Hey great job! Way to get tackled!!! You are an inspiration.
Keep up the struggle, Mike! You’ve got a lot of support, all over the Internets. Non-violent resistance will prevail!
Mike! I saw the video. So proud now that I know you weren’t hurt. I knew that hero when he was jus’ a little blogga…
Keep after them, tiger, but keep doing it smart. You’re the best.
Girls
good job Mike, I had no idea that Allen spat on his ex-wife….you bring up a good point. why the hell are his records sealed?
funny thing is that if Allen (and his minions) would have just brushed you off, no story. Istead they guard him like a couple of Saddam thugs…typical…
not to worry George, in less than a week no one will give a rats ass who you spit on, cuss out, call a monkey, because you aren’t going to be a Senator anymore!!!!!!!!
Nice job! Hope you’re ok. NOW Virginian’s need to get out and VOTE next week. I’ve already voted (i travel and always vote absentee) to make sure G.Allen goes away forever!
What’s disgusting is that the Cablenews networks are calling you a protester, saying that Allen was in no danger as if you were going to assault HIM! You are the one with enough on tape for an assault and battery lawsuit. Go after the “Brownshirts” after next Tuesday.
Mike, you really delivered something new.
Keep up the good work!
Mike….Between the n-word saga and this, you might just go down in the history books as the man who single-handedly derailed Allen’s Senatorial career, as well as any presidential aspirations he may have fostered. Well worth a few bumps and bruises I am sure. Talk about David taking down Goliath. Good job.
Way to go Mr. Stark!!!!
Keep the Senator juggling truth and honesty!!!
7:00 pm Oct 31 - Channel 9 news out of DC ran the Mike Stark/Allen story at the top of the broadcast. After showing the video (which is longer than the one posted online), the two anchors did anchor-banter. Derek McGinty asked the other anchor what it was Mike Stark said that caused the goons to declare “now you’re getting personal”. The other anchor said Mike asked if Allen spit on his first wife. He quickly added that he didn’t know where that accusation came from. Here’s the good part; Derek McGinty then said, “Well, at the risk of getting personal, this may well bear looking into.”
The story might have legs.
This is getting play on the other blogs. Orcinus has a story up about these Republican thug tactics, which are nothing new. Remember the “spontaneous” protest in Palm Beach in 2000, goons bussed by Tom DeLay from the D.C. area?
http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/2006/10/thugs-in-suits.html
Thanks to Mike for standing up for his rights under the Constitution, however, sadly, just a “G.D. piece of paper” to the Bushistas and the Republican “reich”-wing.
Dude, you rock!
The local cops are investigating whether those Allen goons assaulted you.
With any luck, those Repuke goons will end up as jail brides. LOL!!
What are you so afraid of Mikey?
mike, thanks for your service in all respects!
Mike, you’ve taken your public service to new levels. The character of these thugs was on full display today. And if they’re scared because of their actions, good. It’s Halloween, after all.
You are an American of the highest caliber. Rock on.
Semper fi, Mike! I can only wonder how Senator Macaca and his goons must feel once they learneed they unleashed an unlawful assault on a Marine veteran. You’ve just given VA’s Republican vets yet another reason to vote for Jim Webb!
Jeff,
Let me give you a “hell yeah” … on the ‘Stark may have stopped this guy’. When I used to live in Maryland, I wondered just where I should live … MD, DC or Virginia but if I was still on the east coast, I think I would be in No. VA by now and making my way up the BW Parkway to that secret place nobody is supposed to talk about.
W. Mike Stark, like most grunts, you are a true American, challenging POWER.
Mike, nicely done. No one is better at venting their anger from lifetime bereft of sexual encounters by getting beat up by old dudes like you are. You are the (fat, sloppy, smelly, wearing the same clothes for a week in a row) man! What’s scary is the average weight of the idiots who are fans of yours and post on this board. What do you think, over 3 bills? Maybe if you all liberals weren’t lazy shmos you could make it to the polls. I’ll be the one who’s netting out your vote. Peace.
Mike,
We all owe you a debt of gratitude for boldly going where corporate media fears to tread. You are an inspiration.
Best wishes,
Dave
Pressing charges? RIGHT ON!!!
It’s awesome that you are persuing this. It will both move the media spotlight off John Kerry’s mischaracterized statement (can you believe this is actually getting play?!?), and it will hurt George Allen when he can’t afford to be hurt! You rock, Mike!
I could tell you wanted to go back and get some licks in. Who wouldn’t? Smart thinking the way you handled that.
Dear Mike,
I am very impressed with your handling of the Allen-assault!! Fight hard and know lots of us are behind you!! Word Bomb
mike has officially announced that he will be pressing charges…so it appears that he will not be able to discuss the case here on the site
good luck mike
I live on the outskirts of Charlottesville. Mike, if I ever find myself in the same bar as you, you will not be paying for your drinks that night. You are the man.
Well you demonstrated what has been going on all around the country, bullies waving the American flag and then shoving in the mouths of people who want to exercise free speech. I always thought that Allen was a bully and a coward and now we have it on video. Good luck with you pressing charges, and thank you for showing the fool behind the curtain.
Are you folks for real?
Dude. You rock. If you’re pressing charges, I guess they really f***ed you up. I hope you get invited onto national tv shows and get enough ca$h to help with law school tuition. Keep it up, man. Never give up.
great job mike. Think of suing Allen for a couple of million. Include the hotel. Include the staffers. What a great way to fund progressive causes. thank you Sen. Allen.
Congratulations for asking some very pertinent questions. Hope you’re OK and that you sue the b***ard’s posterior off!
Impressive
I’d look into suing those insane conservatives that assaulted you. You’re a brave guy.
You’re a loser
You’re a tool Mike. Apparently you haven’t learned the definition of assault and battery yet. Maybe you should spend more time in class and less time as an ass. You won’t make a cent off this, so all you “hero worshipers” need to get a life also. Allen didn’t touch you, nor did he order anyone to. The “goons” as all you losers call them had reason to think a public figure might be subject to harm from a lunatic, and rightly so. Instead of “Roger-and-me”ing him, study up and get a real job, instead of being one of the 18,937 “bloggers” with delusions of grandeur.
I’ll bet you also think what John Kerry said today about education and soldiers in Iraq was right on the mark. If so, I’ll come down there myself and “educate” you.
‘Nuff said.
Who is the scared moderator?
Outstanding! You’re an inspiration against the nonsense of the last six years.
Take care!
Wow, you are really a little punk arent you? Whatever happened to civil discourse? Why would you do that? Do you have any self respect or are you that starved for attention?
Support Webb, but don’t fall to this level.
I just watched the video. Am I the only one who felt like the old man fell down because fatty Mike stumbled back onto him? Fatty Mike also appeared to sprawl out on the door / window in more dramatic fashion than normal physics would suggest.
I too live on the outskirts of Charlottesville. Mike, if I ever find myself in the same bar as you, you will not be paying for your drinks that night. Cause I will be pushing your soft teeth down your slimy throat.
And I’m a girl.
Didn’t they teach you to wrassle in the USMC?
I’m curious.
What the hell does “press charges” mean, anyway?
If you were assaulted, you pick up a phone and report it to the police.
They come out and, depending on witnesses, arrest somebody.
Was this done? Why not?
Interesting. Of course, publicity for you is important here; reaping a monetary gain far in excess of any harm suffered is also key, apparently.
Of course, the action will fall on the staffer(s) rather than Allen. Your behavior makes you an easy target for claims that the staffers acted reasonably, that your violence in pursuit of Allen–shoving others, pushing forward quickly–rendered you a credible threat to a U.S. senator. Your words, while irrelevant and reprehensible, are of course protected speech. But since you did not merely shout them from afar, your suit is likely to fail. Even if you do succeed in convincing a jury to award damages, as you will learn once you are out of 1L (assuming your grades permit you to continue at UVa Law), jury trials are about assigning blame and convincing a jury that regardless of the law, the ‘attack’ on you was undeserved. Illegal it might have been, but most jurors will view it as a case of ’smart mouth got what was coming to him’–nominal damages set at $1.
Interesting, also, that so many here characterize the response to you as “Republican brutality.” I recall seeing video of far less offensive members of the press and public being treated just as roughly, if not more so, by Cynthia McKinney’s staff not long ago.
You have succeeded in creating some bad press for your disfavored candidate by taunts and offensive behavior, which provoked an uncivilized, if more or less justified, response from the staffers. Congrats, buddy… you are an excellent case in point of gutter politics.
P.S. I have read some of your writings, both here and in other online publications. Judging by the intellect revealed therein, you can ill afford to be skipping classes during first semester of 1L at UVa Law. Gods help you if you have Jody Kraus for contract law; horresco referens. But, your classmates will be happy to know you will be padding the bottom of the curve, I suppose.
Um, civil battery is an offensive touching, it does not have to be harmful, or cause harm. There has to be intent, but intent to commit the act of the unwanted touching is sufficient, the plaintiff does not have to show that the defendant intended harm.
Assault and battery usually refers to a criminal charge. I am assuming you already know this, John?
It’s a clear no-brainer civil battery charge.
This dude is so gutless, he has to be going to UVA.
Why wouldn’t you ask an intelligent question rather than make yourself and Allen look foolish? Our political process is becoming more and more childish each cycle and it seems everyone keeps trying to one up the other guy. Due to the nature of the question you didn’t even require him to give a response. Some idiots drop you and he will claim they were not acting on his behalf. All you accomplish is taking the spotlight off the issues. He may not deserve to win the election, but it should be based on the issues.
Hahahaha! Great Job Mike! As we can all see by the comments in this section, the conservative jackasses are digging an ever DEEPER whole! So, you ask a PUBLIC OFFICIAL about sealed documents, and you get attacked by a few of his jackass comrades. THEN, you have the jackasses, who probably each own a few copies of the Michele Malkin book “Unhinged,” come to your OWN site and they approve of you being physically assaulted because you asked a question?
God Bless you Mike Stark, and god bless your right to Freedom of Speech. God Bless you for exposing these dirtbags consistently as little kids, who can only answer a respectable question with violence. Press Charges, and sue these cowards.
AND FOR ALL THE CONSERVATIVE JACKASSES THAT CAME HERE TO APPROVE OF VIOLENCE, YOU’RE ATTEMPT AT FASCIST AUTHORITIANISM MAY END NEXT TUESDAY. If it doesn’t, we can expect these idiots to try to legislate attacking people over a question. WOW, some Christians.
Aw, look at all the bitty Repuke trolls whining because someone finally turned the tables. Someone call the whaaaaaambulance for them.
This guy asks a question, and for his trouble he gets battered by Felix’s henchman. And then Felix’s supporters visit his blog and threaten to “knock his teeth down his throat” and come down and “educate” him. Why yes, we can see that Felix and his supporters (even his “girls”) are peas in a pod.
I like the idea of your type of investigative reporting. Make them sweat just a bit. The media just doesn’t do the job. It’s about time somebody brought out the truth. I got this info off of www.truthout.org. They really tell it like it is. Time for everybody to get out the vote and put a stop to all this bull****. Great job.
“And do me a favor… Listen to Rush and Hannity and O’Reilly on Wends. Gloat a little for me… Enjoy their anguish. I sure as hell will.”
Yeah, man, their anguish is going to be HUGE. It will be difficult to even conceive the magnitude of their anguish. After all, all they’re going to have to talk is John Friggin’ Kerry putting his jackass self back in the spotlight as the national symbol of the Democratic Party, nicely complemented by some incoherent, abnormally old first year law student and raving lefty apparently attacking a US Senator. Damn right it’s a good day for Democrats! Eat that right wingers!
I’m voting for Jim Webb and Judy Feder next week. But you’re not doing me any favors, Mikey. The only people who appreciate crap like this are the people who were going to vote against Allen anyway. At best, the rest will hopefully only envisage you as a possibly homeless crazy guy, a “KENNETH, WHAT IS THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH YOU SPIT ON YOUR WIFE??” type.
Two more things, briefly. As a former wahoo myself, try and dress the fcuk up next time you’re on national TV. And what were you, Motor-T? Maybe you meant the Merchant Marine? You got handled by some cherubic 20 year old and a balding fat man.
Stark, how about you ask a question regarding policy for a change?
A HEARTY Welcome to all the neo-con trolls dragging their frightened carcasses in here for the first time.
Wow…where can I start!….I am so proud we live in a Country where we foster under the comforting umbrella of the United States Constitution, a document so powerful that its protections extend even to armchair hate-riots like you who exist solely to spew venom and bile at the people who use passive protest to pull down the curtains that cloak the nastiness, hypocriticism and plain out lies of your leadership.
That’s spelled C.O.N.S.T.I.T.U.T.I.O.N for those of you who have been “Hannitized”.
It’s a wonderful document….I highly suggest you exercise the opportunity to actually read it sometime. I give it two thumbs up!
The problem we have, kiddies, is that the Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights, currently bear a number of unfortunate and smelly skidmarks from the Bush Administration wiping their ASS on them.
Fear not, though….People like Mike, who have understand their importance having served our Nation to protect and defend those precious documents in the United States Marine Corps are rising to protect and defend those fine documents once again from further desicration at the hands of you and those like you.
Mike is a better person then you could ever hope to be…want to know why?
Because Mike stands up, proudly states his name, and actually takes an active role in our political process, unlike the pack of brain-dead Hannitite Trolls who slink in here like the cowards you are under pseudonyms to callously spew hatred under the cloak of annonimity.
Know one thing…..There are many of us in the “silent majority” taking note of your chest-beating and empty threats….How will you know who we are? Simple…we’ll be the ones handing you complementary crying towels on November 8th. That is the day your reign of terror comes to it’s inevitible conclusion….see you at the polls, losers.
Oh, the irony. The “Republican fascist” type comments are allowed to stand while any dissent is quickly “moderated” (sent to the proverbial gallows).
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
Knock their socks off, man.
This blog is worthless if people aren’t allowed to converse. Sure, delete personal attacks and inappropriate posts, but if I can’t criticize Stark’s tactics then this site is nothing more than a blockheaded cluster FU-…
(I got moderated)
I hope you sue Allen and his campaign. Those hitmen were his employees, acting within the scope of their employment. I’m sure there are a lot of lawyers who will take your case!
Thanks for the fair moderation, Joseph Goebbels.
Allen has his own storm troopers.
I wish the Felix trolls would learn to spell and compose a sentence.
Glad you didn’t get hurt by the goons Mike. I’m glad you used restraint at the time, and are pursuing reasonable recourses now. Thanks, again, for being a journalist when so many “journalists” aren’t doing their jobs.

Doesn’t your neck hurt a lot? I suggest for your news conference you wear one of those neck braces! HaHaHa. Macacwitz is goin’ down. (GOP Gay scandal pun intended)
Jeff, no pseudonym here, gave my real email and no hate is being spewed. I’m a registered Republican, but I am not someone who will only vote the party because I’m registered. I’m from Michigan and DeVos has looked terrible in each debate so I will be voting for a Democratic Governor. I vote for who I think is the best candidate. I’m the person who’s vote can be won. Did you spit on your wife, not really something that would cause me to vote for Webb. Allen was screwing up the election just fine on his own, but now the notion of crazy liberals will cause some swing voters to go with Allen. This episode did cause me to come read some of your posts. Some good, some bad. I agree the Democrats will win elections through the 08 elections more than likely. But what then? The next couple cycles people will be voting against the Republicans not really for the Democrats. The Democratic leadership needs to have a real plan to continue to win elections after that. Our country is generally in the middle on most issues. The Republicans stay centered on most things and that will bring people back to the Republicans. The Democrats generally what to push every issue way off center and that loses them votes. Just my opinion and you see I’m not calling anyone a loser. Freedom of speech is great. I don’t really see how asking a candidate if he spit on his wife is defending the Constitution. I agree that it’s great he’s taking an active role in the political process. I just wish we could influence people to make the system better, not just try to embaress and fluster people we don’t agree with. I’m from Michigan, Michael Moore is not really a good role model. Just a guy making a few bucks.
Make sure you all get out and vote.
Hey Mike,you know sean handjobity will spin the shit out of this.ha ha.screw e’m,and all the bush bootlickers out there.One step closer to bring down the decider.
Hope you’re well. I congratulate you. You’re a good, good man.
This type of shit is funny in local politics and by local I mean state rep races, city council races, etc. Bringing this type of idiocy to the national level dilutes any message you ever attempted to have, reduces your credibility to the level of a college aged protestor with bongos, and further makes you look like a complete ass. Congratulations, you’re a giant bag of used political douche.
“I too live on the outskirts of Charlottesville. Mike, if I ever find myself in the same bar as you, you will not be paying for your drinks that night. Cause I will be pushing your soft teeth down your slimy throat.
And I’m a girl.”
You sure about that, Rachel? Have you checked, lately?
Boy, Mike, these fucking wingnuts are getting more and more unhinged, to quote a Malkinism, as we get closer to election day, huh? They’re like flea-bitten dogs getting dragged closer and closer to that bathtub. Except the fleas and ticks they’re ready to lose are the two- and three-hundred pound, upholstered variety, parasites that, unlike actual ticks, haven’t got the sense to fall off on their own before they pop.
We’re really trying to do them a favor by voting these assclowns out of office.
But, as grim a job as it is, someone has to do it and it’s up to the sane adults.
So go pour yourself another Koolaid, Rachel, before it gets warm.
Congratulations on Rogering Sen Allen… Well Done! I enjoyed that!
Way to go, Mike. Not exactly Christ, King, or Gandhi, but you done pretty good. I hope you’re smart enough to make sure the cameras are rolling before you do something so stupid. Otherwise it’s lost and they get away with it.
Pretty hard to deny what happened and now that sealed divorce is national news. I certainly had no clue about it before today, but I damn sure want to know what he’s hiding right about now.
Rich,
Thanks for bringing sainty to the discourse. I think America could learn alot more by people like you and I, who fundamentally exist on different sides of basic political issues, yet can rationally discuss policies and values without digressing into calling opponents “America Haters” or “Terrorist Appeasers”.
Allen went after Jim Webb over fictional passages Webb wrote in a book, and in the process sent the Virginia Senate race spiralling into the sewer. IMHO, since Allen opened the issue of personal character, I feel Mike has a right to ask about prior arrest records. Since Allen has opened the door by accusing Webb of having a negative opinion of women in general, then Allen needs to open his closets and show that his thoughts are pure. The notion that Allen has a violent temper is real and documented. How he treated his ex-wife is fair game for people to ask since it was Allen who pushed that door open in the first place. Does he have to answer the question? That’s up to him…he could have said “I refuse to answer a question that inane.” and the situation would have diffused. His staffers, instead, assaulted the questioner….not a smart thing to do in the first place, a silly thing to do during a political campaign, and thoroughly assinine when it happens in front of television cameras.
Now, instead of just saying that the incident was “under review” and the staffers involved have been temporarly removed from public contact pending the outcome of the investigation, the Allen camp is trying to sell that Mike was “a danger” to the safety of the candidate, and therefore, their physical actions in the altercation were justified. Bad move. It made it look like Allen was running away from the subject, and worse for Allen, It gave the story at least two to three days more legs…and dozens more times that the tape will run on National cable and network broadcasts, not to mention every local news outlet in Virginia, …National exposure of this nature is not something that you want in the final week when you are trailing in the polls.
Secondly, What I feel is the largest single problem today in American Politics are political commentators like Hannity, Limbaugh and O’Reilly, who co-op “traditional” American values to mean only THEIR beliefs, and label themselves “Great Americans” and “Culture Warriors”, fostering the impression that anyone who disagrees with their opinion is UN-American. They are too interested in wrapping their opinions in the flag…opinions that are often bigotted and politically motivated, and are ironically AGAINST the very values the flag stands for.
These people are doing more damage to the American Political environment, as well as the fabric of our democracy….polarizing and encouraging hatred of anyone who confronts their set principles. They breed that hatred, and it comes to a boil causing confrontation, but in the end, solving nothing. Sure, there are people on the left of the spectrum, like Michael Moore who do the same, but the far right currently has ten times the audience, and therefore, is responsible for 90% of the problem as it exists. They need to be exposed for what they are. America needs a Joseph Welch for the new century to stand up to the McCarthy-esque tactics of bullies like O’Reilly and Limbaugh to say “You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”
I hope you return, Rich…I like your style, and look forward to debating in the future.
Help! Help! I’m being repressed.
Now you see the violence inherent in the system.
I hope you file a police report, because that looked like assault and battery to me. You are a constituent and have a right to ask George Allen questions without getting your @ss kicked. I posted this in my blog- The Transplant Athlete, let’s hope everyone gets the word out…
Sincerely,
Lou
Nice show ! Now press charges on those people for assault , and the hotel for lack of security . No one should be handled like that without just provocation. Keep up the good work for the country.
Muskrat in CO is pulling the same crap, except the town rednecks are right there to help, punk-asses that they are:

Brave move, and well done. CNN has brought your existence to my attention. Being a Virginian, I’m looking forward to Webb’s victory. Who put whose hand on whose body first? My rule is, you touch me, you’re fair game. Still, you were wise not to fight back, even though I’m sure it must have been tempting. Bravo and three cheers. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll have some discussion in the news of the spitting on the first wife thing. Unfortunately, like your assailant said, it might be too personal an issue for Virginia voters to stomach. That doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t, however. If we’re willing to impeach our president for getting a blowjob by an intern, we should be willing to ask if a senator spit on his wife. When did this happen?
-Paul
What Allens’ thugs did to you was something out of The Dead Zone. Glad everyone could see just how free speech is respected by the “gentleman” from Virginia. Sue the bastards!
Why have you deleted your posts from DKOS?
It wouldn’t suprise me if the Omni Hotel didn’t have goons there.
The owner of the Omni Hotel chain is the fifth richest Texan, billionaire oil man Robert Rowling, who has been a benefactor of the Bushes and the Republican Party. He is a good Christian who does not allow hotel guests to rent adult films. He lives in an $8 million dollar mansion in Dick Cheney’s old neighborhood.

Thanks for the October surprise. Hope it helps get Allen out of office. He’s George Bush’s intellect with Dick Cheney’s morals, no doubt. If he’s our next Prez, God help us all (again).
I can’t agree with Rich here in my homestate (Michigan). Republicans aren’t centered generally they’re extremist. Michael Moore is a good role model; he’s everything the mainstream media used to be when politicians could actually be held accountable for their actions ala Nixon. Clinton should have gotten the same. Plenty of good men doing nothing these days apparently.
God bless, and I hope you don’t get “Dixie Chicked”. And to your detractors here, get a life for yourselves, wads.
MIke.
Geez buddy,next tiem you get in a situation like that,give a brother a call so he can get some of it,K? Nothing like knocking the shit out of deserving assholes,IMO.
(that’s a joke of course,I’m a virtual saint)
Anyway,Fuck Allen and his goosestepping thugs. Give ‘em hell bro,they got it coming for laying hands on you. You did the right thing by not kicking that dude in the nuts for his cheek.
I also applaud you on sending even more of these brainless,child molesting,shitheel neocons into a death spiral. Judging from the blog comments,they’ve really got themselves soemthing to froth over,LOL!
How does it feel trolls? How does it feel when one of your racists,fascist fucking idols gets caught out at his game?
ROFLMAO!

Apparently you haven’t learned the definition of assault and battery yet. Maybe you should spend more time in class and less time as an ass. You won’t make a cent off this, so all you “hero worshipers” need to get a life also.
Dear John,
I don’t know the legalese you speak of, but I know enough to know assault and battery is a criminal charge while it’s the civil suits that result in monetary restitution. If I know that much, then you don’t know shack jit.
The “goons” as all you losers call them had reason to think a public figure might be subject to harm from a lunatic, and rightly so.
