Of Angry Republicans And Honest Questions

From the looks of things, some Republicans across the nation are starting to fear that they won't have jobs in the Congress or Senate next year.

As the election draws closer, tempers flare and people start to do stupid things.

Take North Carolina Republican Frank Wolf and his staff:



From Raising Kane:



According to both camps, the two Feder staffers, one carrying a video camera, approached Wolf and peppered him with questions. Dan Scandling, Wolf's campaign spokesman, said the two workers had been "circling" Wolf, his wife Carolyn and congressional staffer Ben Dutton, and asking aggressive questions in an attempt to provoke an angry response.

"The campaign apologizes if Ben used poor judgment and hit him with his cane," Scandling said. But he said the reaction was "provoked." The two Feder staffers had been egging him on with questions like, "How does it feel to be in the real Virginia?" Scandling said.

[Feder spokeswoman Marisa] McNee, however, said that Kent and Goodman were trying to nail down Wolf on his position on health care. Moreover, she said, nothing justifies physical violence. She said the two campaign workers, who also approached Wolf at an event in McLean on Saturday, are considering whether to file a complaint with the police. Neither was injured.


So, since someone is trying to get a simple answer to a simple question, that's validation for assault?
