Struck Down

Feds refuse to explain how agent injured Daily Caller writer

by Tucker Carlson and Jon Ward - February 4th, 2010 - Daily Caller

The State Department has refused to answer basic questions about an accident that took place in Washington on Wednesday night, in which a U.S. Diplomatic Security Service vehicle struck Daily Caller employee Sean Medlock as he was crossing the street.

An agent in the vehicle, Mike McGuinn, did not identify himself to Medlock at the scene, or apologize for running him down. Indeed, Washington, D.C., police drove to a local emergency room to serve Medlock with a jaywalking citation as he lay prostrate in a hospital bed, while a man who identified himself as “special agent” stood by watching and taking notes.

The arrogant actions of Barack Obama as President has led to the same kind of attitude permeating the day to day actions of our government employees. This attitude of arrogance by goverrnment goons is a key reason socialism always leads to tyranny. The idea that government rights, such as money entitlements and legal powers, flows from the government to the people rather than being Constitutionally restricted, always leads to the abuse of power by government goons at all levels.

How ironic that in this case the alleged victim is a member of another arrogant group in our nation, the fourth estate.

Someone is obviously lying here.

We have, on either side of this incident, an individual who is convinced of their right to bend the truth based on a privilege they claim comes from a Constitution that does not grant them the rights they assume. Instead it limits rights against the people, something they seem never to admit.

I wonder if we will ever know the truth of what happened?
