Oh DAMN! Conyers' wife beats down woman, gives her black eye!
Councilwoman Accused Of Role In Bar Brawl
Woman Wants Monica Conyers Charged With Assault

POSTED: 11:33 am EST December 23, 2005

DETROIT -- Recently elected Detroit city councilwoman Monica Conyers is accused of assaulting another woman at a bar.

The brawl occurred at Crossroads Lounge Monday night, according to Local 4.

"A drunken woman attacked a judge and then turned and attacked -- a few minutes later -- Councilwoman Conyers. Councilwoman Conyers defended herself," said Sam Riddle, Conyers' chief of staff.

Rebecca Mews (pictured, right), the woman who claims she was assaulted by Conyers, said, "I was in no way intoxicated."

Wife of Congressman Involved in Bar Fight

Dec 23 12:24 PM US/Eastern

DETROIT - The wife of Democratic U.S. Rep. John Conyers has been accused of punching a woman in the eye during a bar fight. A spokesman for Monica Conyers, a city councilwoman-elect, confirmed Friday that she was involved in an altercation. But he said Conyers merely defended herself after being attacked by another woman.

The spokesman said Rebecca Mews became upset Tuesday during a birthday celebration for an attorney, who Mews says was her date. While Conyers was speaking with the man, Mews "came over and literally started spewing obscene names," and shoved Conyers, said Conyers' chief of staff, Sam Riddle.

"This woman was obviously drunk, and the councilwoman vigorously defended herself," he said.

8. Now I'm just throwing this out there, but
is it possible that this lady was paid to start a fight with Mrs. Conyers so they could dredge up some dirt? Since they can't find any, they'll create their own. That's the very first thing I'd look at.

14. Exactly What I Thought - They Sent This Lady In To Bait Mrs. Conyers....
just to engage her in an altercation that they can use against Mr. Conyers. I bet she was well paid.

9. Oh god, every man loves a catfight...and a catfight with Dems vs. ....
...the lawless- hell, beats SpikeTV!*

* The above comment is made in a facetious manner, not to be taken seriously. Furthermore, poster is a big fan of Randy Newman, an artist who often writes humorous material from the standpoint of bigots or other undesirable characters to draw attention to their stupidity and/or shallowness. Declaration that "every man loves a catfight" is not meant to be taken seriously. "Loves a catfight" is not meant to imply love of violence or titilation at the possibility that during a fight one or more female combatants will become partially or fully disrobed. Should all else fail, poster pleads intoxication at time of posting or, if recently making a post which appeared to be from a sober person, that his roommate Juan was using the computer and maliciously and with malice aforethought, posted under his account. Readers curious as to why Juan would also post such a large disclaimer should forward queries to Juan directly as poster does not answer questions regarding an ongoing investigation.

25. Conyers submits his resolutions To Congress
Edited on Fri Dec-23-05 02:13 PM by jmatthan
and releases his FANTASTIC book (The Constitution in Crisis: The Downing Street Minutes and Deception,
Manipulation, Torture, Retribution, and Coverups in the Iraq War).

It really is a great read including the 1022 references - (sorry, not read as I had my computer read it to me - all 272 pages of it).

What did you think the Bush Cabal would do?

Do the WILSON - PLAME, Macain - Wife - Black baby, incidents not teach anyone anything?

29. too funny
Haha, what an ass-kicking. I'm looking forward to more fed-up politicians getting into fist-fights, what a great way to react. Let's see her get elected as an affirmation that violence IS the way to solve things. At a party for an attorney, I bet you there are plenty attorney witnesses should assault charges go forward.

Is this a black on black crime or just a Lush on Lush crime?

She was attacked by this woman, and hit the woman in self-defense.

"She turned around and began yelling at me," Mews said. "When I began yelling back at her, she punches me in my left eye several times," Mews said. "I never struck her. Never once did I hit her."

Sorry, didn't mean to believe the victim or associated press.

That's WHAT THE FUCK i'm talking about.

38. And according to the other article,
"A drunken woman attacked a judge and then turned and attacked -- a few minutes later -- Councilwoman Conyers. Councilwoman Conyers defended herself,"

It could be either way, and no one knows.

My "WTF" was in reference to your comment: "Let's see her get elected as an affirmation that violence IS the way to solve things."

I'm still not clear what that's supposed to mean...

42. No worries. I find the whole thing is probably
blown out of proportion, but it is kind of funny, in a twisted way. I'm sorry, too, for getting a little snarky.

I hope your holidays get less stressful!!

46. What and why did Councilwoman Conyers yell at her?


What provoked Councilwoman Conyers to turn around and yell at her?

That would have given this story a bit more credibility to her story!

39. Absolutely agree
It was my first thought. Conyers intorduces bills to get the spies in the WH investigated, releases his great book, and his wife gets harrassed at a party!! So coincidental! Well, at least they're not ignoring Conyers anymore, as they have in the past. Be interesting to find out a little more about this woman! Like, what is her party affiliation?

Wow, bet she won't mess with a Dem anymore.

I'm wondering if that woman did agree to be the stooge, did she buy the 'don't worry about getting hurt. You know all Democrats are wimps!' garbage'!! If she did, I bet she got a shock! :rofl:


Good for Mrs. Conyers. Don't mess with Democratic women, or men for that matter. I like the 'wimp' lie they've telling. Gives us the edge in the element of surprise area!

36. I can't blame Mrs. Conyers at all...
I'm glad she clobbered the geek! Some GOPer spy crew probably set that bout up, to try and slander Mr. Conyer's wife. The GOPers are always in the no holds barred mode, when it comes to bending rules, or breaking laws, or winning at any cost, or getting revenge. Bush's friends know that the laws are for the working class to live by and not the "Haves and the Have Mores."(bush's base) Hell the haves and havemore's all think Bush should be king! And Bush thinks so too...

We are entering into a very dim new age here in the USA. An age in which the very next punch, could be the punch heard round the world. Never has the flame of liberty, been so close to being snuffed out, as by this breakdown of law and order in Washington. The GOP's trickle down lawlessness started at the top and trickled down to infect the entire group of GOPers in Washington. The GOP terraist cells in the supreme court, in congress and the white house, have all but destroyed democracy and our nation of laws. Democracy is only a word and not a solid piece of reality, anymore, in the USA, thanks to the whole rotten GOP mob and their greed!

Everything else bush has done since he came to Washington, has had a political motive, thanks to Karl and Cheney. Why would spying on every politician in Washington, not then be at least part of the motive, for the unlawful spying and why wouldn't kkkarl want to know every detail on EVER federal employee, appointee, or politician, in Washington? I'll bet Karl and Bushco have used at least some of the information they've gathered, while spying on American citizens, to gain an unfair edge in the past two elections.
