Will Douglass try to hit the camera crew again if they get too close?
Would you, if they tried to film your private conversation?
You mean like the private conversation between Obama and Russia “after my election I’ll have more flexibility”.

If I were a politician, then no, I would not.
’3.You mean like the private conversation between Obama and Russia..”
That…would not be a very private conversation.
@Jeffrey: Too funny…but actually quite sad. I mean, what kind of man running for public office goes out of his way to strike a camera operator trying to film him at his own “public forum”? See the video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSeIH4I_Bv8
Robert Hurt has been on the public payroll for 15 years. I’m not aware of a single, substantitive achievement during that time.
Now John Douglass is co-starring in a video where the Charlottesville area Democrats have gone WAY too far, vandalizing property and political signs, stealing them and defacing them with excrement. Their aggressive behavior is quite intimidating. Warning, this is VERY rude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxDzPyd4XX0
