Awoken this morning by radio alarm with local yokel 'news' guy parroting dem talking points about 'stalking stark' incident. Then the first article I found was AP/bob lewis breathlessly reporting about serious-sounding 'chokehold' occurrence. Uh-oh! Citizen-journalist. Vet!! Ex-Marine!!! It certainly sounded important. Upon closer look, however, including at the video: Apparent known stalker menacingly charges public servant engaged in campaign of ideas, screaming and knocking into several bystanders. When this 'trained killer' refuses to cease his attempted assault, he escalates the physical violence with those justifiably trying to remove him. Finally subdued and shown the door, he mutters 'punk'. I think Kerry was wrong and mean-spirited when he maligned our brave troops, stating that servicemembers don't "make the most of it" (education), don't "study hard, ...do... homework and ...make an effort to be smart". But these demeaning words would seem to apply to Stark. Stark's website gives some clues about his depth of committment to and definition of free speech. There he advises one to "study the terrain carefully before you join the battle", the final step being the 'showdown". We see in the video Stark studying the terrain as he careened through innocents in his attempt to assault Allen. This (one-man) mob rule is what goes for intellectual discourse for liberals. It seems that Stark's only other claim to fame is waving a poster with lurid words on it in front of a live-television camera during family hour. Another example of liberals' engagement in the realm of ideas. Were those filthy words an 'illuminative quote" from one of Webb's porno works? Will Webb have the guts to apologize for these apparent criminal acts of his agent provocateur?

Mike is wrong! This is not the way politics happens in 3rd world countries. In a 3rd world country he would not have been lucky enough to be put in a headlock. He would have had his head sliced off on the downtown mall (Tienanmen Square) with all the liberal elitists of Charlotesville viewing.

He's lucky to be a resident of such a tolerant country that allows him to provoke an invited guest on private property.

Best of luck to Mike and Kerry at energizing the Republican base and bringing out the vote next week.

Mr. Stark is only the most recent epitome of the lack of goodwill and general incivility that has overtaken our political processes. I don't know that it is wise to treat him as members of Senator Allen's entourage did, but I can't bring myself to shed a tear over any rough treatment he was clearly seeking and hoping would happen. In fact, cannot such a desire for attention and abuse qualify as a mental illness?

Allen will still win not matter

Is there an actual correlation b/t incoherence and Allen support? Maybe Kerry would vote for Allen, too, if he could?

Allen will still win not matter, by at least 3% points.

Certainly, the campaign has the right to bar him from private events.

I thought it occurred in a hotel lobby (and in fact, I think Stark said that if the hotel asked him to leave he would)?

But perhaps they should have hired some security guards?

Just as long as they aren't members of the Hell's Angels.
