Congressman Grabs Blogger’s Video Camera as He’s Questioned About Iraq War

“I may have overreacted when this person stuck a camera in my face. But I feel like it was one of those ‘gotcha’ moments in politics, and my comments were misrepresented,” U.S. Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski, D-Nanticoke, said in a statement.

ahhhh Ambush journalism. This guy ought to go work for faux news.
…If you’re looking to get slapped, you’re probably going to get slapped.

“ahhhh Ambush journalism. This guy ought to go work for faux news.
…If you’re looking to get slapped, you’re probably going to get slapped.” ~haha

Uhhh the journalist had all his quotes verbatim so what’s so ambushing about it???
And please don’t give me the “out of context” argument. I am so tired of people in this country not being accountable for what they say.

lou dobbs fan   June 12th, 2008 - 11:10 am

This is sad. Just like the Roman empire fell, America will fall from within. Sad, sad, sad.

Dave   June 12th, 2008 - 12:02 pm

You cannot get “ambushed” unless you say or do that you’re not willing to back up when challenged.
In other words,you don’t need a good memory if you don’t lie.

dm   June 12th, 2008 - 12:23 pm

Oh come on now, would the dems. lie just to elected?

dm   June 12th, 2008 - 12:29 pm

Sorry, should read ‘to get elected.’
I was so shocked that a dem. would lie, that I wasn’t thinking straight. I just can’t be true.

Sean   June 12th, 2008 - 12:41 pm

Should have laid him out.

E390   June 12th, 2008 - 1:01 pm

Complete control and power at any cost. What the hell does Fox News have to do with this story? This year more than any other has shown the true deep seated hate in the dem party. The white dems hate power to the people and individual choice and responsibility, the black dems hate whitey. The Obama goats want the goverment to take care of them because they are to stupid to figure out how to provide for themselves.

Guy   June 12th, 2008 - 1:16 pm

Joe: “I am so tired.”

Typical pansy lib, probably just tired from having to wait in line at the welfare office. Anyway, we don’t care, Joe. Keep your physical condition and emotions to yourself. This is not the place to complain about your lack of sleep, low testosterone, wine-induced hangover or whatever else it is that’s bothering you. Tell it to your social worker.

JOHN   June 12th, 2008 - 1:18 pm

i hate faux news …WAAAAAAAAA …WAAAAA

what a bunch of pu$$y’s

Gregory Scott   June 12th, 2008 - 1:36 pm

Haha,

I’m sure this interview would be fine with you if Evil Doctor Bush was the interviewee. Right?

Gregory Scott   June 12th, 2008 - 1:42 pm

Hey, Guy— 

What, are you on PCP? Just take a hit? What you on Joe for? What did he ever do to you? He’s no liberal!

Oscar Whitenose   June 12th, 2008 - 1:47 pm

I just wish the camera was centered on the good Senator, so we could actually see what he is saying..crappy camera work dude.

TF   June 12th, 2008 - 1:52 pm

Hey John and Gregory, sounds like John needs another glass of Kool Aid and Gregory, the man’s a Dem…don’t you know that Dems = liberals???? Jeeze what a jackball…

TF   June 12th, 2008 - 1:55 pm

I apologize to Gregory for grouping him with John…I re-read his comments after my initial post and saw that he has a brain and therefore is a Republican :)

Erik   June 12th, 2008 - 2:28 pm

He should be fired. He answers to the people. Time for him to be tossed out. Both dems and repubs are idiots. Most are complete morons. I don’t want Obama with his stupid ideas and I don’t want McCain. This is the best 2 people the american people could come up with?? “Here are your two sucky choices…feel free to pick which idiot you want….k thx.”

Vanilla Ice   June 12th, 2008 - 2:47 pm

Yeah, but Republicans are just like ancient, homosexual, Roman soldiers. War for sport and profit, demonic rituals like torture, lies and wickedness on an unheard of scale with total media cover of their crimes. Dems may lie, but Republicans rape and murder the planet. They are raping you right now at the gas pump. Also, weather weapons are being targeted upon our country right now. Look up weather weapons and you’ll see American legislation on the books declaring that countries cannot use weather as a weapon, which means the technology exists. You are witnessing a financial and physical attack on America that’s sequence kicked off first when Bush was illegally put in office to be puppet mastered by global bankers for the Euro / Spain / Israel elite demons that are sinking their demonic teeth into this country and will bleed all of us to death if we don’t collectively stop it. 911 was the faux event, the false flag event that tricked the public into backing a fascists, jack move… a grand theft of your treasury to the tune of more than 8 trillion dollars missing from our treasury since Bush’s, skull and bones escapades. The corporations are making us finance their transition into supporting the economies of China and India. The US, to them, is a wrung out, rancid wash cloth that is ratty, worn and useless only to fuel the next industrial, capitalists ventures in countries they can sell everything they have sold to the Americans in the past 50 years. Watch as we have to ride bikes and scooters so corporations can position themselves in this new market and abandon the US. It’s in the book of revelations if you want to see the biblical predictions that no one would be able to trade with the Great Prostitute anymore. The dying prostitute is the once great nation of commerce formerly know of as American, soon to be bastardized into a third world, North American Union with a new currency call the Amerro and the dumbed down republican that reads these blogs doesn’t have a freakin’ clue what’s happening and why they too, have to soon pay 5 dollars per gallon for gasoline and will still suck Bush’s balls like the homo freaks they seem to really be. Bush as Caligula and the Republicans are degenerates who love degrading others as well as themselves as that’s their true religion and it shows.

The republicans are demonic, fascists in nature and will sell out their own grandmothers for power and dominance for their lord and savior which is Satan for sure.

if   June 12th, 2008 - 2:50 pm

I have to agree with you Erik. Both candidates are vegetable lasagna! Like tomatoes you by at the grocery store all color and no taste. obama and Mac wow this is like American Idol, picking between bucky and Sanjaya. Oh crap I think I gave away somthang…. Yea I watched it …once.

Mary Jo   June 12th, 2008 - 3:01 pm

These lefties never like to be challenged.

This is why they fail at talk-radio.

Typical politician, the rules don’t apply to them. Spending their time fighting over the pork in Congress while our country is being attacked from within and from outside. When Sharia law comes, these scum will be one of the first to be rounded up and shot. Of the Muslims won’t do it, I will. Traitors all of them, getting rich at the expense of the people.

bpjam   June 12th, 2008 - 3:50 pm

It’s obvious that Kanjorski doesn’t apologize to anyone….Just look at how long he has been in Congress!!!

He should have apologized for what he did years and years ago!! He obviously has no shame and lives in the D.C. bubble. The people back home have no idea what the hell this guy is really up to. They are asleep at the wheel!

Steve   June 12th, 2008 - 4:12 pm

Anytime I see “Congressman” Senator” no party mentioned you can bet it is a DEMOCRAT. This guy was caught in a LIE,,,like Dems do all the time and the MEDIA COVERS for them. This OLD fart should take his EXLAX and relax!

andy   June 12th, 2008 - 4:18 pm

I live in Kanjorski’s district. He doesnt think he said what the writer says he said. It isnt a lie to him, it is an ever evolving reality. He is accustomed to nobody ever disagreeing with him so whatever is expedient is true. He remains in office because of his ability to bring (steal) money from the national government and bring it back to NE Pennsylvania, which is run by an extremely corrupt Democratic Party in a region dominated by corruption, nepotism, and crnyism.

SoCal Patriot   June 12th, 2008 - 4:33 pm

“NE Pennsylvania, which is run by an extremely corrupt Democratic Party in a region dominated by corruption, nepotism, and crnyism.”
And conspiracy theory nutjobs…

andy   June 12th, 2008 - 5:01 pm

SoCal Patriot….be like Kanjorski, deny reality and name call…excellent

SoCal Patriot   June 12th, 2008 - 5:06 pm

“name call”
I’m a Republican but why is it OK for *you* to name call and not me?
The fact is, conspiracy theorists are nutjobs just like democrats are corrupt.

Pull your head out kid…

andy   June 12th, 2008 - 5:20 pm

actually to go back to my original premise, about 10 seconds of research into PA’s 11th district (Luzerne and Lackawanna counties) a well as the final destination of much of Kanjorski’s earmark $$ would bear out my charges. Research any of these, Luzerne county debit card scandal, Kanjorski 9.25 million dollar earmark, greg skrepenek, luzerne county reassessment the list could go on and on. There are 98,000 registered Dems, 44,000 Republicans. All major offices in the county are help by Democrats. I was also referring to NE PENNSYLVANIA, there are certainly places run by corrupt Republicans.

SoCal Patriot   June 12th, 2008 - 5:27 pm

You didn’t answer my question.

Typical…

andy   June 12th, 2008 - 6:13 pm

Typical of what? I never called anybody names, therefore your question was irrelevant. I stated NEPA was corrupt (a fact) and you called me a “nutjob.” Then I provided you with search terms so you could do a little research yourself. Research that would shed some light on what I was saying.

SoCal Patriot   June 12th, 2008 - 6:33 pm

“I never called anybody names”
You did, you called the democratic party corrupt. (which is just as true as conspiracy theorists being nutjobs.)

You can pretend that it’s OK for you and bad for other people, but you’re just a two-faced hypocrite.

“you called me a “nutjob.””
You are a conspiracy theory nutjob, just like the democratic party is corrupt.

“Research that would shed some light on what I was saying.”
I’ve seen your retarded 9/11 conspirayposts, don’t pretend you’re not.

“andy June 12th, 2008 – 8:09 am

I want to know who really caused 9/11 and how building 7 came down with no involvement with either “plane”.

You lose again, nutjob…

mike   June 12th, 2008 - 8:28 pm

haha this demorat is another leftist commi who just got exposed, what a loser. How could anyone so stupid be in office.

jbh50   June 12th, 2008 - 8:41 pm

The dems who vote these “elected officials” into office should be offended by their elected representative’s demeanor toward them. These fools in congress question the intelligence of their voting public.

But, then again, after reading some of the liberal remarks I see why the dems in office think their supporters lack a certain mental capacity.

andy   June 12th, 2008 - 9:22 pm

socal, that actually wasnt me….it could be there are two people in this world named andy, or that could be a conspiracy. Though, I do feel a little better about your posts since getting me confused with a 9/11 conspiracy nutjob would help to explain why you got so weirdly upset about me calling the Democratic Party in NE Pennsylvania (remember I have consistently mentioned I was talking about theM) corrupt.

SoCal Patriot   June 12th, 2008 - 9:48 pm

“.it could be there are two people in this world named andy”
I doubt both would be stupid enough to type Andy in in lower case.

“you got so weirdly upset ”
I wasn’t upset, I just pointed out that you’re a conspiracy theory nutjob, then YOU got upset. :D

Nice try though…
