Traitorous Bob Novak Reportedly Assaults NH Citize

“Assault charges filed against CNN's Bob Novak

An assault complaint has been filed against CNN's Robert Novak, following an incident outside the Merrimac Restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Take Back The Media's Mike Stinson was on the scene as Novak exited the restaurant this afternoon, heading for the CNN Campaign bus. What follows is the first report of this breaking story, as filed by Don Waller of TBTM:

Just got off the phone with Symbolman - he was outside the Merrimac Restaurant in Manchester, NH where CNN is broadcasting, and he said things got a bit testy when Bob Novak came out of the restaurant, heading for the CNN bus.

Apparently, someone from the crowd got on Novak's case, calling him a traitor a few times. Novak went ballistic - Sym decribed it as a 'Lee Harvey Oswald moment' - and went over and shoved the guy, sending him sprawling.

TBTM might - might - have gotten it on videotape. Stay tuned.

More: Sym said that the guy is considering pressing assault charges. He told me that Novak really lit into him and the guy went flying - and he said the guy wasn't a little guy. Sym was standing behind the guy and caught him as he hurtled backward.

Sym got into an argument with Tucker Carlson about it afterward, and Tucker reportedly told him to 'Get over it' because Novak 'is an old man.' The guy who got pushed waited outside the bus for an apology, and Novak went into the bus and closed the door, refusing to come out.

Brad - the man who got shoved - was glad he got a reaction, because in his view, 'The guy is dirty - he knows he did something wrong,' referring to the Valerie Plame leak story.

Developing.... we will post more details as they come in.

Update: Brad Carr, the victim of the attack, has filed a criminal assault complaint against Novak.”

“OK, is this going to blow over as fast at Al Franken tackling the guy at the Dean rally. I'll wait!”

“Franken didn't assault anyone.

Do the math.”

“I for one, am outraged.”

“He tackled the guy. That's assault.

Franken assaults a heckler at a rally, Novak assaults a heckler out side a restaurant. I don't see any difference except for your political perspective.

Got nothing to do with math.”

“I'm with you, Stickman. =)”

“Were there any charges filed in the Franken "assault"?

I wonder why not?”

“Maybe the guy figured he had it coming and to let it go. I'm sure that the guy in the Novak case won't see it that way. And even if he does, the liberals will keep it going. Doesn't matter if there are any charges filed or not, the point is that you guys have such a double standard.”

“Double standard? Did you read the Union Leader account of the Franken incident? Traitor Bob's actions are clearly assault while Franken appears to have acted after getting elbowed in the face. Sorry your red meat got rotten so fast.”

“Traitor Bob? That's cool. Someone calls a liberal a traitor and they are condemed. Call a consertive a traitor is ok.

Can't win an argument with logic and reason, resort to name calling and crap.

I thought even the great VioLiN could do better than that. Sorry I overestimated you.”

“You don't consider blowing the cover of an undercover CIA agent working on WMD matters to be traitorous?”

“Her husband had already done that, but since he's a Clinton man you chose to ignore that little issue.”

“Cue up the Jeopardy Theme again....”

“He did?

I’m sure that will come as a shock to the currently impaneled federal grand jury, the special prosecutor assigned to the case and team of investigators working on it.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”

“Shouldn't this be under the democratic hypocrisy thread? Or is this Violin's weak attempts to distance the hypocrite from the flock?”

“Read the story, Nigal.”

“hmmm.... interesting that Novak ain't getting the outrage that Franken did.”

“That's because Novak is a liberal member of the liberal press.”

“LOL!

Yeah a typical Cheney liberal that Novak is.”

“Novak's a nattering nabob of negativity.”

“Watch video of Brad Carr, the guy who Novak allegedly assaulted, speak about the incident.

“Traitorous Bob speaks (speakers and .wma player required)”

“The reporter approaches with an attitude like that and you criticize Novak for that response.

Did you criticize Teresa Heinz Kerry for her reaction to the reporter ("shove it"), or is your ire reserved for conservatives?”

““Traitorous Bob speaks” is overly critical for your tastes?

Sorry. I didn’t realize you were so hypersensitive. I’ll try to tone things down to spare your feelings.”

“It ain't beanbag.”

“I want to know which reporter was told to "shove it" by Teresa Heinz-Kerry.
By the way, No-Prob, "Go Cheney yourself".”

“Well I do agree he probably did over react, but I'm thinking I probably would have done the same thing. You go Novak!”

“Dun... sorry, I forgot you guys don't follow any news report that might be critical of the liberals.

About a week ago, she made a statement in a speech about the republicans being un-Pennsylvanian and even un-American. A reporter from a local conservative paper asked her to clearify what she was refering to as un-American. She denied using the term and he insisted that she did, she told him to shove it. Obviously not a big deal. Just like the episode "V" was trying to make a big deal out of.

I was just pointing out how hypocritical "V" is.

By the way, as far as I'm concerned Novak, THK, and Cheney all get a pass. In fact given the circumstances I think I might give Cheney a cheer. Seemed like a pretty appropriate use of the phrase to me. See a lot worse than that from the lib's on this forum every day.”

“"“Traitorous Bob speaks” is overly critical for your tastes?

Not if that's how you see it. But it does seem hypocritical given where the leak came from.”

“Not at all. I consider Scooter Libby and/or whoever else in the White House outed Plame to be (in the words of George HW Bush) the "most insidious of traitors", but good ole Bob ranks right up there with them.”

“Frogmarch, baby.”

“Traitorous Bob is up to his old tricks:


...Novak, the enigmatic center of the CIA leak scandal, was headed to Hawaii Saturday morning to watch his beloved Terrapins play in the Maui Invitational tournament when he tangled with a fellow traveler.

According to our unofficial mascot on the flight, Novak was boarding an American flight to Chicago when he cut in front of another passenger while entering first class. The guy protested and laid a hand on Novak -- who responded by socking him and threatening to knock his teeth out....

“Traitorous Bob has done gone and smacked the Prez:



Newspaper columnist Robert Novak is still not naming his source in the Valerie Plame affair, but he says he is pretty sure the name is no mystery to President Bush.
"I'm confident the president knows who the source is," Novak told a luncheon audience at the John Locke Foundation in Raleigh on Tuesday. "I'd be amazed if he doesn't."

"So I say, 'Don't bug me. Don't bug Bob Woodward. Bug the president as to whether he should reveal who the source is.' "

“republicans eating thier own”

“Yes, he is a traitor.

He actively aided and abetted the enemy.

Ernie Pyle, God Rest his Good Soul, would never have given up a clandestine operator.

Novak not only endangered Ms. Flame but also several of her associates.”

“I don't normally stray into political threads, but being a bicycling advocate I noticed this story since a cyclist (the hero of the story) was involved.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/23/politics/politico/main4286279.shtml”

“Wow.  Not good, Bob.”

“CBS is not exactly known for their unbiased "news", but if true, off with his head!”

“Columnist Robert Novak Issued $50 Citation for Hitting Pedestrian

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,389601,00.html”

“How does a bad day get worse?

Bad: You hit a guy on a bike.
Worse: The guy's a lawyer.

LOL!”

“The best part is that Novak told the police that he drove off because he claimed he didn't know he hit a pedestrian. The eyewitness that stopped Novak said the pedestrian he hit was splayed over his windshield.”

“Novak turning on wipers to get biker off his windshield: "Damn the bugs are bad this year."”

“He hit a pedestrian not a biker.”

“What did you say, again?”

“Elitism at it's best- cake fest for the rest.”

“That bicyclist has some stones. Novak just plowed into a pedestrian and drove off without a care, but he still has the guts to block his car with his bicycle. LOL”

““Elitism at it's best- cake fest for the rest.”
