Tea-partiers in North Carolina were peacefully protesting the Financial Reform bill and the Durbin BP Bailout amendment, when a a liberal counter-protester decided to throw some political punches – literally, he was looking for an “ass to kick”:

Fox’s coverage of the incident is still up on Youtube:
About the Financial Reform Bill, via Big Government:
Like a bad cold it can’t shake, the left continues to attempt to blame every ill on George W. Bush. But as one activists in the video pointed out, its actually one Barack Obama and Senator Dick Durbin who are about to hand a massive check to the very company responsible for one of the worst environmental disasters in history.
The Durbin Amendment to the financial reform bill is the latest government policy proposal that will pad BP’s bottom line. The amendment would create a government imposed price control scheme that would shift billions of dollars away from consumer to retailers (British Petroleum, Exxon, WalMart). That’s why the Durbin Amendment is supported by the big retailers like Walmart, Petroleum Marketers Association and other prominent lobbyist groups which are funded, in part, by British Petroleum.
Proponents cynically and falsely claim it would help consumers, but its hard to see many consumers feeling benefited by paying higher prices while mega corporations increase their profits.
Just look at who is pushing this amendment—oil Companies and giant retailers.
And sadly, useful idiots on the left are ready and willing to bust some heads to defend this.

Nice Deb 
Isn’t it interesting that the ONLY time violence is captured at events like this it always begins with a lib? Wow. I thought libbies were all about patriotic protesting… about how dissent is the most important form of patriotism. I guess that is only when they control the discussion and those dissenting agree with them.
Call me shocked, shocked I tells ya, that violence at protests begins with libs… wow… Feh.
