So, not a ''rabid Liberal'' as reported earlier though that of course may be subject to change as further information that comes our way in the next period of time.

Guilty until proven innocent. You have sat as judge and jury and with no proof at all found him guilty of being a ''rabid LIBERAL''. You are wrong in your assumption that I based my claim that he is not on a number of charges that you listed. You are wrong. My only claim is that the original post about this event made the claim that he was,, a ''rabid LIBERAL'', in league with an over-arching democrat plan to intimidate conservatives. That claim was made with no proof at all. NONE
My claim was that he, of that charge made here on ATS, remains unproven and at this point, two days later. I then finished that OP with this sentence.

So, no proof he was a ''rabid LIBERAL'' as charged in that thread so without proof, he is innocent of that charge. However, depending on more information that may come our way, that verdict is open to modification. I said proof, not speculation like so many are willing to settle for.

I"m placing this news article in the Dissecting Disinformation Forum in an attempt to shed light on dis-information being spread on ATS
Two days ago on July 21st a thread was posted claiming that Gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin of New York was attacked by a ''rabid leftist'' .
The claim made in the Opening Post presented the ''attack'' as part of an over-arching Liberal plan to intimidate Republicans and urged conservatives to carry weapons to all political events.
Here is that thread.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Few responders in that thread suggested waiting until more information was available to the public as to the nature of the assailant and the motives behind his adventure on that stage. Well now, two days later, more information is coming out on the man,
His name is David Jacubonis.
From the article in the Daily Mail we can read that
The New York man who attempted to stab US Rep. Lee Zeldin said he didn't know who the politician was and only approached him to try to take his microphone after he was told the gubernatorial candidate was 'disrespecting veterans.'
Information gathered from a neighbor indicates that Jacubonis was detached from reality after his wife died and he was discharged from the military.
Further indications of is struggle with alcohol and dissociative behavior can be found in the article in the Daily Mail as provided

At the end of the day, ATS is a social media platform exhibiting moderate to radical behaviors as much as any other internet device. That includes (not limited to, but includes) yellow journalism, hyperbolic headlines and outrage porn for the easily inflamed loyalists. It applies to all the corners of politics and media culture.

One last time then I am done. My claim was that there was no proof that he was or is a ''rabid LIBERAL'' playing a part in an over-arching scheme by liberals to intimidate conservatives as was put forth in a previous thread. I provided news clips pointing to it not being a politically motivated encounter. I did not try to prove that it was not a political encounter as noted in the final sentence of the OP.
Now, several days later, from what I can find, there is still no indication that the attack was politically motivated while the general direction of law enforcement is that it was a drunken man attacking another man not knowing who he was.
And that's all i got for ya.

See buddy, you claim '' you and your ilk''. Good one, very original, yet it displays the mindset by which you judge what I am saying. You clump people together into ''ilks'' and that predetermines your mental evaluation.
Yes, my headline did say not a rabid liberal. That was in response to the original headline that clearly stated that he WAS a rabid liberal. (with no proof at all) My comment I explained that in the OP and left it open as more information came forth. The information that has come forth since that time demonstrates that he was not a rabid liberal acting in concert with a over-arching Democrat play to intimidate conservatives as clearly put forth in the original thread.
Oh, and I notice it is ''we'' that has expectations. That speaks clearly that you assume to speak for some ilk of your own. So have at it with your per-packaged hive mind assumptions.

''rabid Liberal''
You used this label 100 times now and I don't think anyone but you know what it means, so can you define it for us?
Did he vote Democrat or Republican, is he crazy or not? lol
Outside the headlines, no one else used that label, but you in the other post you are referring too, and you even said the same thing there as here, so why did you feel you needed to make a new post about a label only you have used in replying?
