Party of Tolerance Member Not So Tolerant...
Wow, who knew Fredericksburg was a hotbed of liberalism? Take special note of the last sentence:
A Fredericksburg man was arrested Saturday on charges he assaulted three strangers at their home during a dispute over politics, police said.
According to a Fredericksburg police report, the suspect went to a home in the 900 block of Marye Street about 5:30 p.m. after finding one of the resident's name on a Republican Web site.
The resident and his two roommates engaged in a discussion with the suspect, though none of them had ever met or had contact with him before.
The argument got heated and the suspect learned that the young residents had not enlisted in the military and "put their all" behind the Republican-led war effort in Iraq, police spokeswoman Natatia Bledsoe said.
The suspect refused to leave the home after repeatedly being asked to do so, police said. The three roommates were hit multiple times each as they attempted to get the suspect out of the door, authorities said.
The suspect continued to be aggressive and disorderly even after a city police officer arrived, the report states.
Andrew Stone, 23, was charged with three counts of assault and battery. A magistrate released Stone on his own recognizance and he was ordered to have no further contact with the victims.
It was not clear in the report what political agenda Stone was supporting.
Sure it was clear: Stone found a name on a Republican website, found out that the three guys supporting our efforts in Iraq were not enlisted in the military, and physically assaulted them because it's obvious to anyone with half a brain that this leftwing lunatic thought the Iraq supporters are chickenhawks (chickenhawks: non-military supporters of military actions whose non-military status automatically exempts their opinions from validity).
Of course, the reporter who wrote this little piece doesn't want us to judge poor Stone. Just like it doesn't want us to judge the GOP based on the actions of a donor. Riiight...

I like how they word it so you could interpret the story as the guy assaulting people for not supporting the war effort, when it appears the opposite was actually the case.
