This woman did not AT ALL do what was reported by Faux News. She was trying to get back to work at the Capitol building -where she had exited to pick up lunch, and was on her way back in--when the goons jumped her with no provocation. And it was couscous, not egg salad. They couldn't even get the lunch food right. There is no reason to report garbage like this and hold an innocent, tax-paying citizen up to public humiliation. She is indeed an Obama supporter, although that day like many of us she had work to do and was not going to the rally. She ducked out for lunch, got hassled on the way back in and reacted the way most of us would react when being physically seized and having her arm cranked painfully behind her back. If you can't get the story straight, don't report it.
