Yesterday while reading the conservative blog RedState, I stumbled across a video of College Republicans harassing a Democrat by making fun of him at a campaign event for Republican Michigan Senatorial candidate Michael Bouchard, where the Democrat was quietly videotaping Bouchard’ appearance…And here it is, with Arlen’s notes:
The College Republicans had videotaped their immaturity and even proudly called it “harassment” and posted a video of them slapping Bouchard and DeVos campaign stickers (DeVos is the Republican candidate for Governor in Michigan) on the body and clothing of the young Democrat, who was not causing a disturbance whatsoever. Commenters over at RedState found the unprovoked harassment “hilarious” and “funny as all heck.”
…I had the foresight to recognize that this video might just be taken down by the College Republicans, after realizing how immature they had acted, and that they had admitted to harassing somebody for their political beliefs. So I used a nifty little trick to capture the video from YouTube, which does not publicly allow downloading of videos, and saved it to my hard drive.
There’s more at the link, including Arlen’s attempts to get a comment from the Bouchard campaign.
I certainly hope those College Republicans were carrying their Liberal Hunting Permits.
