If not a bully then he is must be a whack job. You just don't grab and push people around because you don't want to answer their question. Just keep walking and smiling.
From what I see the kids were not being rude or insulting. Unless you call saying "Sir, please let go of me" insulting. Oh, I guess the question about "fully suporting the Obama agenda" would be insulting to most anyone.  |
He should never have yelled at them or laid a hand on them; obviously he was in the wrong. But I also think it
is rude to shove cameras in people's faces and ambush them on the street. I don't like it when Michael Moore or Bill O'Reilly engage in that sort of behavior, and I don't like it when these unidentified "students working on a project" do it, either.
