Hahaha, it is hilarious to read comments on this site defending the boorish behavior of the obscenely ugly troll-looking woman with the camera by claiming the blogger is the one over-reacting. I think you people have it a little backwards.

it is just tit for tat. This side says they are bamboozled, that side says unfair. Bolling will not allow debate clips to be used in advertisements, Deeds is afraid to say he would raise taxes for transportation -

It is because, we do not honestly listen to anyone anymore - we (and the journalists, and the networks) take the sound bite and craft it to where it fits the time slot alloted, err, the view that the person is trying to make.

First of all, the person flashing the camera wasn’t a staffer for Shannon. She might support his candidacy, but I know for a fact she’s not a staffer. That being said, I’ll admit that her behavior was a little childish and she should have known that her behavior wouldn’t help. Steve seems to have understood this as when she was asking you who you were he looked over and said something to the effect of “It’s okay, he’s just filming.”

But while I’ll agree that you’re correct in pointing out that the behavior is childish, I think it’s a bit of a stretch to claim that you were attacked. People from both sides of the aisle frequently try to prevent bloggers and trackers from the other side from getting footage of their candidate. They could have been more mature about the situation, like Steve himself was encouraging them to do by simply letting you film, but these kinds of tactics have been used for years and it’s simply silly for you to claim you were attacked.

Best of my inbox this evening:

“Just had to tell you this: I find it terribly ironic that, when there’s all these people who claim to not like you, the people who actually hassled you last night were those who didn’t know who you were…”

Hmmmm.

Assault is a crime. If they assaulted you, you should press charges. Holding people accountable for their actions is how we maintain a civil society. The fact this gentlemen would like to be our Attorney General makes pressing charges even more important… to make a point.

Sure I can. It’ll cost about $500 to send this out for audio post-processing, and the likely result is that it’ll sound like Shannon is talking inside some sort of spaceship, but you’ll be able to understand him more easily.

I take credit cards, checks and good-ol American cash.

Not to change topics or anything–well, yes, actually–but I got Jeanette Rishell’s latest fllyer in the mail today. Turns out she has a “winning solution for our traffic problems” that will get those kids to their soccer game faster. Front page shows kids scrambling into a minivan parked on a field, with the caption, “They spend more time driving to the game than playing in it.” Inside shows completely different kids playing near the minivan ON THE EXACT SAME FIELD, while Rishell chats with fellow Unity in the Community member Illana Naylor, whom we are pretty sure does not have children anywhere near that young. And we’re not sure what kind of traffic that van had to run into when it didn’t have to go anywhere at all, apparently.

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy Jeanette. Do you really think we’re anywhere near as dumb as you are?

Can you get rid of the background noise so that we can hear what he is saying to the reporter? Shannon’s opening and closing statements were exactly the same. I got tired of hearing the same thing over and over from him. And after the first time, who cares about the numbers he kept spitting out?

Would not be surprised to find out that the answer is that it’s something like 19,357 IP addresses we think might be in Virginia because they belong to companies headquartered in Virginia.

Shannon looked like a robot who was told just go and run for the office and we will take care of the rest of what needs to be taken care of I. E. votes etc.

He didn’t ask them to stop running interference for him he looked like he was encouraging them with his twisting and turning all the while the wimp was still avoiding the question because it was apparent HE DID NOT KNOW THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!

Typical of someone who is “under orders to just run”

He reminds me of “hit and run” Connally, just what we need another dope like him.

What a coward and a sissy.

Where does Steve Shannon get his figure that there are 19,357 pedophiles in Virginia using computers to traffic in child porn?

If you take this number and the population of Virginia (as of Jul 2008, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division), which is 7,769,089, you come up with a figure of one pedophile per 401 residents of Virginia.

I find that very difficult to believe, so, I question where this figure that Steve Shannon cites comes from.

Steve Shannon demonstrates — as most candidates for Attorney General in recent years have done — that he does not understand the nature of the office he seeks.

Shannon, like the others (including Creigh Deeds and Bob McDonnell in 2005), thinks that the state Attorney General is the chief prosecutor for Virginia. The AG doesn’t prosecute crimes. When the Attorney General is made aware of the possibility of a crime, he (or she) must refer the matter to a Commonwealth’s Attorney, or to federal law enforcement,

The Attorney General is more like a City Attorney or County Attorney than a Commonwealth’s Attorney. Shannon does not seem to know this. Ken Cuccinelli does.

How we treat them vs. how they treat us —

If they were respectful of others the way we are of them, they wouldn’t be Democrats. Being a Democrat is the most selfish act a person can do. It is all about getting as much from the government as you can or else about using the government to assuage one’s guilt over winning life’s lottery. This behavior is just symptomatic of their ideology.

Weak, over-hyped nonsense.

That’s disappointing.

To Anon 8:54am and Truth, this is not a joke! I was recently at an event with Ken Cuccinelli and Bob McDonnell where the Fraternal Order of Police was endorsing Cuccinelli, Bolling, and McDonnell and a Shannon person was there with a video camera. Rather than sticking a sign in front of his face and raising my voice saying “Who are you with?” several times I kindly asked him which campaign he was with. He said Shannon’s. He stayed close to Cuccinelli the entire time. No one put cameras in his face, no one blocked his video. He filmed the entire event. Ken and Bob were AWESOME that day! So if we are respectful of their people all over our guys why can’t they do the same????

Liberal punks, using grade school bullying and stupid tricks. Smaks of desperation for the Shannon campaign.

So, why does Shannon want to be Attorney General if he doesn’t even know what the office does? (Cooch’s question was about more than just bureaucracy, it goes to the heart of the AG’s job.) THAT is the big takeaway from this video…
