Another Tea Party Candidate goes Nazi!

Yep, I said Nazi. I see a lot of folks saying they like Tea Party Candidate "X" just because he or she makes people upset so I decided to go with that. Candidate Joe Miller has his private security force "arrest" and detain a reporter for asking him a question.

Is this what the Tea Party means by smaller government? Private police forces? This is the same man that wants us to emulate Eastern Germany. Turns out the men had no business detaining this reporter and no one can seem to justify why it was done. People railed about free speech zones. Obama gets called a silencer for things he has said. This is pretty cut and dry. A man running for office had his private goons fake arrest a reporter for asking a question. This is the TP candidate there. Is this ok?

The statement said security officials had to take action to detain "the irrational blogger."

Well, it wouldn't be the first time that someone attending a town hall meeting or rally became disruptive and had to be escorted out ...

Without a video of the town hall meeting, hard to know what really went down.

The video has been on television all day long. Sorry that I did not provide it. Maybe if I get a chance I will find it online but feel free to look. He asked a question.

...this seems to be miller's standard operating procedure... he'll only respond to "certain" questions... other questions are perceived as a personal attack and the question askers are handled by his goons...

...heres another article...

Hopfinger was handcuffed by the security guards and made to wait in a hallway until Anchorage police arrived. A police officer removed the cuffs and declined to accept the "private person's arrest" after interviewing people at the scene.

Other reporters also were physically prevented from moving down the hallway where Hopfinger was being kept. A video shot by Anchorage Daily News reporter Rich Mauer and posted on the newspaper's website shows three guards blocking Mauer and Dispatch reporter Jill Burke from approaching Hopfinger. In the video, Burke repeatedly asks a guard to takes his hands off her.

That is of course the lie. There are already threads on this you can read to get the facts without the political spin.

That Reporter crashed a private function after being informed he was not welcome. A security person from a "Private" firm overreacted to his misbehavior. None of it had anything whatsoever to do with Miller. The school where he rented the facility for his "Private" function required him to hire the security. I've also rented facilities from local schools and had to do the same. That man did not work for Miller.

Attempting to blame him for the actions of a security guard that was not his employee is so transparent, only brainwashed Party Fanatics fell for this. Old news; already covered.

Why not attack him on issues rather than engage in this kind of dirty, filthy politicking and slander? Debating issues is legit, this is just dishonest and dirty.

I won't be voting for Miller but I don't have to lie or fabricate to come up with a reason. He is clearly a good man; I just don't agree with him on some issues. He is too extreme in some of his views to suit me. See how easy it was to discuss why I won't vote for him without the drama and lies? I did it without trying to destroy him also.

You say Nazi like its a bad word.
It is amazing what the Nazis accomplished in such a short time and Hitler was an amazing leader.

Once Again proving how stupid and desperate the anti-tea party people are.... I'm not involved in the movement, but come on, they are all Nazi's? Start getting your facts straight, and stop listening to the MSM...
