Default Joe Miller, and his private Alaskan cops

So what do you guys think about this? Joe Miller (Alaska Tea Party Senate) yesterday has his private security guards handcuff and detain a reporter pressing Miller for answers.

Miller is the lone candidate in the Senate race refusing to attend the site's sponsored debate (which is taking place, ironically, tonight).

I think it odd there are no pictures of him in handcuffs since there are pics of him being questioned. I also find it equally odd that the two 'Pulitzer Prize' winning journalists are not named. A quick scan of the Alaska Dispatch Staff shows one woman (Patti Eppler) who was the editor of a story two reporters won Pulitzers for but she did not. Incidentally the story was in AZ and dealt with the immigration v. law enforcement war and predictably the reporters nad editor sided with the criminals. Then we have a outdoor reporter (Craig Medred) a sled dog journalist and photographer (Hellen Hegener) the travel guru lol (Scott McMurren) and cartoonist Peter Dunlap-Schol. Maybe you can enlighten us.

Typical Huffington biased BS
IMO

Gee Dell. If you had only actually clicked on that link before you posted (or you could have picked any other link: Daily Beast is a conservative site, or another news outlet if you don't like Huff Post) - you would have seen the video of the guy getting handcuffed, and seen the pictures of him sitting there in handcuffs (that you say don't exist)

You also might look at that Alaskan Dispatch site again - there are multiple pictures of the guy in handcuffs on that site.

What I find odd is Joe Millers explainatory performance on Fox.

Seems if he could he would have.

Ditto. Especially as keeping this in the public eye these last two weeks is exactly what the anti-Joe Miller force would want. He may yet, if there's any basis there.

Edit: just checked and saw that Miller did skip the "packed" debate last night (because it was sponsored by Alaska Dispatch) - that put Lisa Murkowski back squarely in the public eye as "the candidate" against Scott McAdams.

Joe Miller could be giving the Alaska Senate seat away!

how to skim an article:

1) automatically discount anything not in a brightly colored box as too dense.

2) dart your eyes quickly back and forth, never allowing them to rest on any spot long enough to actually take in information.

3) when accidently encountering a paragraph of text, quickly decide you know enough about it.

4) buy the audiobook version and fast forward through it.

5) just put it down and go back to the comics.

Hey, Tea Bagger Joe Miller is all about the Constitution and Individual Rights and Freedom - except that freedom of speech part for people he doesn't like.

And that nasty ethics violation the reporter was questioning him about, and he finally admitted to.

I read today that two of the security detail were active military, who didn't have permission to work the detail, additionally they are not allowed to participate directly in political things. Article says they may get in deep trouble with the military.

Yes the bloggers of Alaska have unearthed some shocking revelations in this 'article'.
