You’ve probably heard about it already, but here is some video of the Mike Stark/George Allen incident. Now I don’t know about this. Sure the George Allen staffers went a little overboard in “taking down” Mr. Stark, but his question and the way he went about it was a little overboard as well.

I by no means support George Allen or his racist-laden campaign, but to characterize what Mike Start did as:

…a constituent trying to ask a question after a campaign event is automatically a “protester”.

That’s a little misleading if you ask me. Stark is almost charging toward Allen yelling, “Senator Allen, why did you spit on your first wife?” Now come on, how did he expect Allen and his staff to react?

“Well frankly she was lousy in the sack and she burnt my pancakes whitey!”

While it is wrong how the Allen staffers reacted, I don’t think that Mike Start is totally innocent in the matter. He instigated it with a blatantly ignorant question that served no other purpose than to illicit just such a reaction.

Come on Democrats, if you want the Republicans to be playing fair in the sandbox you can’t be pissing in the corner as well.
