Obama Protester Attacks Chicago Reporter on Live Television, Gets Put in His Place

President Barack Obama visited Chicago yesterday, and this guy wasn’t very happy about it.

An anti-Obama protester attacked CBS Chicago reporter Jay Levine during a live broadcast Wednesday afternoon from outside a restaurant where the president would attend a fundraiser.

“Obama is a war criminal,” the unidentified protester shouted as he grabbed the microphone from Levine. The CBS reporter swung back and another man appeared to tackle the demonstrator.

The protester seemed to have a little trouble with his enunciation, which is understandable. It’s hard to do much critical thinking when your adrenaline is turned up to 11.

The news-crasher really does possess terrible tackling form. Perhaps that’s something to work on before his next act of conscientious violence.
