I know these are not the fleabaggers, but they represent the same agenda. To bad this was in Chicago and not a right to carry state cause these bozos would not have stood a snow balls chance in hell of carrying out much of what they did.

It was the middle of the lunch rush Saturday, and Mike Winston was working in the kitchen of his Tinley Park restaurant, the Ashford House, when a waitress screamed a fight had broken out in the dining room.

Police call the melee at the restaurant a targeted assault by a mob that Winston said wielded metal batons and hammers. Ten diners were hurt in the attack, and three of those were hospitalized.

Tinley Park police had five suspected assailants in custody, and Winston said 18 young men, all wearing hooded jackets and obscuring their faces with scarves and other coverings, stormed into the restaurant.

“They came running in the door single file,” said Winston, who owns Ashford House, 7959 W. 159th St., and the adjacent Winston’s Market.

Winston, and police, said the men knew who their targets were, and that the attack wasn’t a random act of violence. Winston said the mob “targeted” a group of 20 diners, all of whom were from out of state.

“Once they attacked the table, they went and started hitting random people,” Winston said.

I'm betting the hooded punks were Trayvon supporters, and the out-of-state victims were from Florida.

Are fleabaggers like teabaggers? If we can't say teabagger why do you get to say fleabagger?

I think I'll start using that word again.

Or...given the generally older demographic of Teabaggers, we could call them Fleabaggers preserved in Tannin

Or the true definition, "Friends of Carpetbaggers".

I thought "teabagger" was reserved for homosexuals. It could be perplexing to see homosexuals and advocates use such a word in a derisive fashion toward Taxed Enough Already people.

Actually, I'd have liked to have seen someone pull out a gun and make the thugs into bodybaggers.
