If you want to see a staffer getting smacked by a cane-wielding Republican psycho while his GOP Congressman boss does nothing, click play on this video.

Here's Lowell Feld.

On Friday, two Feder staffers approached Congressman Wolf in a public location to ask him some questions. Two different individuals who were accompanying Congressman Wolf (staffers? relatives? friends?) assaulted the Feder staffers, as you can see quite clearly in the video. The first Feder staffer was hit with a cane and then punched. The second staffer (as you will see on the video) was pinned to a wall and forcibly held there. All of this took place in the presence of Congressman Wolf, who stood by and did nothing to intervene.

Republican Frank Wolf, the Congressman who hired these people and smugly watched as one of them assaulted the Democratic tracker, is considered a moderate.  And in keeping with the grand local media tradition of endorsing moderate Republicans, Wolf has the endorsement of the Washington Post, the Connection Newspapers, the Manassas Journal Messenger-Potomac News, the Loudoun Easterner, the Sun Gazette Newspapers, the Loudoun Times-Mirror, and the Fairfax Times.

I guess that's fair, Wolf only watched the caning.

Here is another great on-the-street video from VA-10 congressional candidate Judy Feder on the Iraq war. I really like the idea of these videos where she is interviewing real voters about their attitudes regarding the war.
