Going postal: Democrat John Douglass caught on tape physically striking young conservative

In yet another moment of public solecism, Democrat John Douglass has further cemented his own temperament-based ineligibility to serve in the United States Congress.

Douglass—who is challenging incumbent Republican Robert Hurt for Virginia’s 5^th District congressional seat—physically assaulted a young conservative who was filming Douglass’ discussion with attendees of a public forum in Farmville, Virginia on August 21.

The seemingly unprovoked attack follows another superfluous Douglass public outburst wherein the retired Brigadier General went ballistic over a reference to Americans For Tax Reform President, Grover Norquist, at a Charlottesville candidate forum.  (Audio available here.)

While Douglass surrogates like Peyton Williams and Fred Hudson make faux calls for “civility” in the 5^th District race—decrying characterizations made by the General’s critics—to date, none of these John Douglass adulators has condemned his own candidate’s disturbing physical or verbal aggressions.
