Montana House Candidate Greg Gianforte Just Body-slammed a Reporter

Oh, woe is me... all the right understands is political violence, lawd, lawd, lawd, it is the end of civilized society, heaven help us the right is basically exactly the same as ISIS, civil war this and that, someone direct me to my fainting couch...

It would be a laugh, if you were shouting that, all the way to the ground, after they chucked you out of a helicopter.

I'm getting a chuckle just thinking about it;

Oh, woe is me... all the right understands is political violence... lawd, lawd, lawd... someone direct me to my... *whumpf*

They were warned but they kept pushing. The left doesnt give a fuck when they get violent. Guess what I am fresh out of fucks as well.

It's not that so much, transmission is the weak link in the Evo, I'm pushing my luck keeping this one around, but there's no Evo's anymore to buy new, it's WRX or the Ford Focus RS, but the Subaru is the mature and proven platform, the Focus RS; I don't really know it.

Plus I want a hatchback.

I want a hatch too, probably a '10.

STi's have decent transmissions. I bought the one EJ25 turbo with a 5-speed made of glass ('06 Legacy GT Spec B), already blew up one transmission...

As long as it's the 6 speed, it's solid.

Cuts into my sportscar fund, tho. I wanna swap my Evo in for a brand new WRX-STI hatchback.

One of us! One of us!

Sure, why not? It's a badass jam, the new Impreza is tight, making the Evo seem kind of dated.

Ain't no fucks to give and never was, can be a paid killer for the Bipartisan Foreign Policy, but can't chuck a few Commies out of a helicopter? Since when?

My five-speed wrx transmission blew within a year, but they said it was a defect and they replaced the whole thing for free. You really need the six speed, honestly.

Fox News - Greg Gianforte: Fox News team witnesses GOP House candidate 'body slam' reporter

By Alicia Acuna

The race to fill Montana's sole seat in the U.S. House of Representatives took a violent turn Wednesday, and a crew from the Fox News Channel, including myself, witnessed it firsthand.

As part of our preparation for a story about Thursday's special election to air on "Special Report with Bret Baier," we arranged interviews with the top two candidates, Republican Greg Gianforte and Democrat Rob Quist. On Wednesday, I joined field producer Faith Mangan and photographer Keith Railey in Bozeman for our scheduled interview with Gianforte, which was to take place at the Gianforte for Congress Bozeman Headquarters.

Faith, Keith and I arrived early to set up for the interview in a room adjacent to another room where a volunteer BBQ was to take place. As the time for the interview neared, Gianforte came into the room. We exchanged pleasantries and made small talk about restaurants and Bozeman.

During that conversation, another man — who we now know is Ben Jacobs of The Guardian — walked into the room with a voice recorder, put it up to Gianforte's face and began asking if him if he had a response to the newly released Congressional Budget Office report on the American Health Care Act. Gianforte told him he would get to him later. Jacobs persisted with his question. Gianforte told him to talk to his press guy, Shane Scanlon.

At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him. Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the reporter. As Gianforte moved on top of Jacobs, he began yelling something to the effect of, "I'm sick and tired of this!"

Jacobs scrambled to his knees and said something about his glasses being broken. He asked Faith, Keith and myself for our names. In shock, we did not answer. Jacobs then said he wanted the police called and went to leave. Gianforte looked at the three of us and repeatedly apologized. At that point, I told him and Scanlon, who was now present, that we needed a moment. The men then left.

To be clear, at no point did any of us who witnessed this assault see Jacobs show any form of physical aggression toward Gianforte, who left the area after giving statements to local sheriff's deputies.

As for myself and my crew, we are cooperating with local authorities. It is not clear if charges will be filed against Gianforte at this time.

Scanlon later issued a statement saying that Jacobs "entered the [campaign] office without permission, aggressively shoved a recorder in Greg's face, and began asking badgering questions."

Later, the statement added, "After asking Jacobs to lower the recorder, Jacobs declined. Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed in his face. Jacobs grabbed Greg's wrist, and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground. It's unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer BBQ."

Wow. That's even more awesome than I imagined.

I'm still mulling it over, that Focus RS is pretty sweet, I'm torn between the proven but somewhat downgraded Impreza, and the New News with all the feexins.

Focus RS had transfer case issues last year. Hopefully they'll have that sorted out this year...

Transverse engine AWD is kind of a stupid engineering decision. I understand why they do it, for the FWD version, but it sucks when you push it to 300+ ft/lbs of torque.

[Smitty-48]

Let's see what the 2018 has in store tho, could be the 2.5L forged FA20 engine, the current engine is beating the old Subaru boxer, while being better on gas, the Subaru set up is offroad inspired, I think the RS might be a better street fighter.
