Republican Candidate in Montana Special Election Attacks Reporter

Dude is a creationist but his position on retirement is um, unusual...
Aging and Retirement
Gianforte has outlined his position on retirement by using the Biblical example of Noah. He said, "There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today. Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach... The example I think of is Noah. How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn't like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn't hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical."[35][36][37][38]

I don't know what I even expected.
 
I can buy someone getting as old as 600 years by god's grace or something like that but you have to be pretty stupid to get lost in a desert for 40 years with thousands of people. You'd take much less time cartographing it systematically with that many people.

We're talking about a book where all of mankind comes from two people, one of which made from a rib of the other, are tricked by a talking snake into eating an apple that gives them self awareness and thus gets them kicked out of paradise. A staff turns into a snake. A spirit kills a city full of kids. Rivers run red with blood. A sea is split in half. The world is flooded and all the animals are gathered and live in a boat and redistribute and repopulate the world. A dude performs miracles, dies and comes back to life 3 days later.
 
Another reporter witnessed the reporters feet flying through the air. I don't think he will get much traction from pretending they both fell over struggling for a phone. It was an assault. If the reporter tried that move on a GOP candidate he would be in leg irons right now staring at 5 to 10 years in prison.

Ouch, where'd you hear this?
 
One of their legal experts said this is unlikely to see prosecution and hinted that there will be moves made to try make this go away silently by saying "Temperaments just ran little high".

He wasn't really making joke out of this, but I imagine he has seen cases like this and how they have been just made go away through quiet settling etc.

Yeah, guy will get a settlement at least no doubt there.

WELL YOU KNOW SOMETHING BROTHER, I'M TOO DAMN BUSY BODYSLAMMING LIBERAL MARKS IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF SCREAMING GREGAMANIACS TO CARE ABOUT SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

Or something like that.

Don't forget when god sent the bear to kill and dismember a few dozen children for calling one guy "baldy."

oooh

that second one should be obvious. People are silly.
 
Not only is the "lower your recorder" audio conveniently missing from the recording, but somehow that sneaky fuck Ben Jacobs managed to cut out the part where, after saying "you just bodyslammed me and broke my glasses" Gianforte very calmly states "no sir, you grabbed my wrist and quailed away from my imposing masculinity like the knock-kneed libtard you obviously are. Your glasses are simply resting on the point at the top of your liberal head." So now all that's on the recording is this weird awkward silence that seems a lot like Gianforte is trying to figure out how to respond without incriminating himself and coming up with nothing for about an hour until someone cooked up this statement.

Classic railroad tactics. Unbelievable. Soros is despicable, he really is.

Don't like the sound of that. Going to do damage control and sweep it under the rug.

A book where all of mankind comes from two people, but then when their kid grows up, he goes out and finds a wife in the world.
 
This is what Republicans think of anyone who questions them, of course the free press is their enemy. Events like this one is just the tip of the spear, we're in that awkward phase. Conservatives are just flailing around angrily. Before long conservatives will behave like the church of scientology in terms of how they deal with people who ask questions.

He's going to get away with it, isn't he? :/
 
That "statement" is laughable. Why not just read "An eeeeevil liberal reporter was slammed and totally deserved it for not being PATRIOTIC"
 

Even from the recording, you can tell their spin has a lot of holes in their story but even they admit there was other reporters in the room saying there was a "separate interview".

Witnesses should be able to verify the real story and the audio already seems to contradict several parts to their story. Cops were also there pretty quick getting statements from witnesses on the scene.

Can't see it going in Giaforte's favor. What a fucking nut.
 
I'd just assume it works like the Lost Woods in Zelda.
Alright this made me chuckle.

Look if you accept god all of these can be waved away but remarkable stupidity and incompetence in a chosen of god suggest the same of the one that picked him.

Also didn't Cain and Abel bang some chicks unrelated to Adam and Eve somehow?
