A testy confrontation
Posted by McQ

Interesting video of two apparent Republican demonstrators who are confronted by Sen. Bob Kerrey as he goes into the 911 commission's press conference releasing the report.

Things are a little testy out there. Note who began the name calling first. And then, tell me how much hell Kerrey will receive from the left for such "conduct unbecoming" ala Dick Cheney.

Hat tip to my Bro for this one

UPDATE: Reader Alex give us a link from a Trenton NJ newspaper which carries the story.

From where did this footage originate?

And are we going to see it on our cable news channels?

CBK: I'm not sure who took the video, but I do know that WNBC has it on their website. Look toward the bottom of the page.

They were Freepers. See the URL at the bottom of the "Jail Sandy Burglar" sign.

Still can't figure out what they said to him to get him all pissed off like that. And why didn't they want to give him their names in response to his attempt at intimidation, anyway?

They should have defiantly introduced themselves, then offered him something to write them down on to make sure he got the spelling right.

Then, they should have said, "What's my name, bitch?"

Update: looks like one of them did introduce himself. From the Trentonian:

Fair use excerpt:

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As an experienced protester from the right, Raoul Deming has caused many politicians to become red-faced with frustration and rage.

Yesterday, he and his protest commando partner Kristinn Taylor outdid their own reputation when they confronted Sept. 11 commission member Bob Kerrey in Washington, causing the former Democratic senator from Nebraska to launch into a retort of angry expletives.

Kerrey, who at the time was walking into the Mellon Auditorium on Constitution Avenue to help unveil the commission’s final report, apparently got upset after the two protesters yelled that Democrats could not be trusted with America’s national security.

"What’s your names?" Kerrey demanded of the pair.

Taylor complied and shook the politician’s hand. But Deming refused, saying only that he was a citizen.

"So am I, a------," Kerrey snapped, irked at the pair’s taunts and at their signs which said: "Democrats cannot be trusted with national security."
