VIDEO: Obama/Abortion Supporter Spits in Face of Grandmotherly Romney Supporter in Wisconsin

August 18, 2012 | Filed under 2012 Presidential Race,corruption,Culture Of Corruption,Democrats,Elections,Liberals | Posted by

Once again we see an Obama/abortion supporter who cannot keep to a civil debate, this time in Wisconsin where Appleton resident Mary Hogland, 83, tried to interrupt a small, private Romney event. When her outburst was vociferously opposed by the Romney supporters that were actually invited to the gathering, Hogland spat in the face of one of the elderly women present.

This gathering was part of a “Wisconsin Women for Mitt” bus tour event featuring Wis. State Senator Alberta Darling and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch who recently beat a recall election mounted by the Badger State’s government employee unions.

Hogland interrupted the event questioning the Republican’s opposition to abortion and Planned Parenthood.

The small event, held in Grand Chute, Wisconsin, was by invite only, says Chris Hanson owner of the place where the event was held.

“This is a private business and we invited a small group of clients and friends. Whatever happened to grace and mercy in politics? This isn’t a town hall meeting,” Hanson said.

After Hogland assaulted the Romney rally goers, she and another protester were removed from the premises to chants of, “Romney, Romney, Romney!”

On her Facbook page, Mary Hogland lists several left-wing and Obama items as her interests. It is apparent she is quite the left-wing activist.

Hogland was treated for scratches on her neck by paramedics after she was escorted out of the event.

    I don’t care if you’re 83. I don’t care if you’re “a lady”. You spit in my face, I’ll deck your freaking ass! That is one of the most disgusting things one person can do to another.

    • jim_m

      Someone spitting in your face constitutes battery. You are entitled to use reasonable force to stop them from further action.

      That said I hope that this idiot is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Her intent was not to ask a question but to intimidate and silence her opposition. This sort of activity from the left will only get more frequent.

    In other news- Barry loses Wisconsin by 4 points!!

  • The_Queen_of_France

    The woman on the receiving end of the spitting wasn’t such an angel herself. I’d have been just as furious if someone had gotten within a couple inches of my face while screaming “zip it zip it zip it” as I would if someone spit in my face.

    This same video is up on Wonkette. Surprisingly, they have a different take on it than Warner does. You guys should check it out, especially the comments.

    • http://www.rustedsky.net JLawson

      Oh, THAT’s certainly unexpected, that they’d have a different take…

      • Jwb10001

        Of course the starting point is that this was a closed event for invited guests only,,,, I suppose the wonkettes didn’t get that part of the memo.

        • Brucehenry

          Of course that’s very valid, but what kills me is Warner’s headline “Obama/Abortion Supporter Spits in Face of Grandmotherly Romney Supporter in Wisconsin.”

          “Grandmotherly,” huh?

          Yeah, my Grammaw was forever sticking her face 2 inches from someone else’s and shouting “Zip it! Zip it!”

          What, your grandmother didn’t do that? Mine was FOREVER doing that!

          I think the spittee was about as “grandmotherly” as the spitter.

          Don’t even get me started about how Warner goes from this old lady to the 1984-style image of Obama as glowering Big Brother. It doesn’t need to make sense if you’re Warner, I guess.

          • The_Queen_of_France

            Good grief, I agree with Brucehenry right up until his last paragraph. I just may swoon.

          • Brucehenry

            LOL, Your Majesty, I know you won’t diss ol’ Warner.

            Hey, what do you want to bet that when Grandma was hollering “Zip it! Zip it!” a little bit of spittle got in Mary’s face FIRST?

          • The_Queen_of_France

            Honestly, that was one of the first things I thought of. I think they both behaved abominably.

          • Brucehenry

            Yes, these individuals were rude and obnoxious.

            Hilarious, isn’t it, that Warner’s graphic for the piece is a scowling Obama as Big Brother? How does he get from these biddies to that, you reckon?

          • The_Queen_of_France

            I don’t see it as a comment or a result on the actions of these two “ladies,” but an overall assessment of Dear Leader’s performance and agenda. Michael Bloomberg deserves the same portrayal, although for actions not as malignant as Barry O’Bama’s.

          • jim_m

            Really? How exactly has the right degraded the national conversation like the left? Who is talking about bullshit like Romney is a felon with no evidence but a personal vendetta? Who but the left has jumped on every violent action and tried to blame the right? With few exceptions that is the rule.

            And why is obama the scowling Big Brother? Who is saying that Americans can’t make it on their own? Who is saying that government has to dictate how we live our lives? It sure as hell isn’t the right. It’s the left. The left is desperate for a Big Brother figure to impose their ideology on America. obama is more than willing to fill the role.

          • Brucehenry

            And I could see using this graphic on a different story. It just seemed a little over the top considering this story is about two grannies spitting and shouting.

            But I should have known YOU’D see, and be able to explain at length, how it’s perfectly logical, lol.

          • jim_m

            Yeah, I suppose it’s really hard for you to see the intolerance and hatred of people expressing disagreement with obama’s far left agenda. You probably ignore the many people denied their free speech rights on college campuses by leftists shouting them down, and in some cases even rioting to prevent non-leftist ideas from being spread (IIRC even going to the theft of an entire print run of the college newspaper in one incident).

            In and of itself it is a minor incident, but when seen in the perspective of the deeply intolerant left’s efforts to silence opposition the Big Brother image is entirely appropriate.

            The problem with you Bruce is that you will argue away each incident as not meaning anything in isolation. The fact is that none of them occur in isolation.

          • Brucehenry

            Thanks for letting me know what the problem with me is. You’re a hoot.

  • SCSIwuzzy

    Anyone see a transcript of the whole thing? On my speakers I hear the zip it, zip it part but non of the original heckling.

  • Brian_R_Allen

    …. Hogland was treated for scratches on her neck by paramedics ….

    Paramedics are into scratching old women’s necks?

    Rhetorically, it goes without saying, one assumes other paramedics – of the non-neck-scratching variety – treated Hogland for scratches on her neck by paramedics?

    Bring back Mister Tea!

    “Grace and mercy in politics” Now there’s a concept.
