A Montana leftist attacked Rep. Denny Rehberg’s wife Jan after a debate this week in Big Sky, Montana.
The Daily Caller reported:
It’s all fun and games until somebody gets slugged with a campaign sign — at least in Montana, where following the first U.S. Senate campaign debate this cycle, a Democratic activist hit one candidate’s wife with a rolled up sign.
The debate at Buck’s T-4 in Big Sky, Mont., between Democratic incumbent Jon Tester, Republican challenger Montana Rep. Denny Rehberg and Libertarian Dan Cox reportedly focused on the election issues of the day: jobs, the economy and health care.
The real fireworks, however, took place after the event when an attendee got into a physical altercation with Jan Rehberg, the Republican challenger’s wife.
According to a Rehberg campaign staffer who witnessed the altercation, a female Tester supporter in her late thirties attempted to push her way into a group that included the congressman, who was entertaining questions from reporters, and his wife, daughter Katie and staff.
After exchanging words with Jan Rehberg, she began hitting the candidate’s wife with a rolled up Tester sign.
Managing partner of the Buck T-4, David O’Connor, attended the event and threw the alleged sign-wielding woman, whom he identified as a local environmental activist, off the premises an hour later along with two of her cohorts — who he said were heckling Rehberg during the event.
After the debate Bozeman Democrat Rachel Vaughn also attacked a reporter in the parking lot.

Why don’t they press charges for assault? Stupid, stupid Republicans. I am as disgusted with them as I am liberals.

An HOUR LATER?
What was he waiting for? Obama’s economic policies to work?
chuck in st paul commented:
this woman would be peeing blood from a crushed kidney if she did that to my wife. When are the GOP going to start sending these people to jail? That was clearly assault.

Such civilized people, those dems…
Kissmygrits commented:
I’m surprised lead didn’t start flyin’. This is Montana, after all. The dems are worried here about Tester’s seat and are trying to provoke Rehberg into something they can print on the front pages. He couldn’t have taken a swing at the eco nut, but the daughter could have. Bucks has great food and an old cowboy bar.

Jim,
Thanks for including the link to the local story, as well as the Daily Caller.

I lived in Montana for many years and the Montana of my childhood is not the Montana of today. Cheap land prices and a chance to “get back to nature” attracted right and left coast useful idiots by the thousands so the larger cities, and even some of the smaller ones, have become bastions of liberal non-thought. Plus, like everywhere else, they’ve taken over the educational system in those cities & towns and have created a generation of unthinking, reflexive, liberals who, when challenged like this, cannot resort to facts so they resort to violence.

Her behavior is probably post traumatic distress caused by an abortion. Her guilt is destroying her.

Had this assclown done this to MY wife, he’d be picking his broken teeth up with broken arms
