Liberal protester douses GOP legislator in beer.
Madison resident Miles Kristan, 26, allegedly took out his frustration over the recent political melee in Wisconsin by pouring a beer on the head of a state GOP legislator Wednesday night.

According to the police report, Kristan, accompanied by a cameraman, confronted three state GOP legislators — Reps. Robin Vos, Scott Suder and John Nygren — in a hotel lobby. Police said Kristan yelled out something like “money” and “damned Republicans” before dumping a glass of Miller Lite beer onto Vos’s head.

-snip-

After giving Vos an impromptu beer shower, Kristan allegedly fled the scene. He voluntarily turned himself in on Thursday and was issued a citation for misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
It’s not Vos’s first run-in with Kristan. Vos told police Kristan had been verbally harassing him since February.

The Capitol Times reported Kristan moved to Madison this winter to be a part of the Capitol protests. He was also arrested in March for throwing a pink nightgown — or “pink slip” — at Vos during a Republican fundraiser.

Critics have painted the incident as yet another in a string of outrageous stunts by liberal protesters.

1. What a waste of beer (even Miller Lite)

2. Yes, outrageous stunts
See, if you're really going to get a politician's attention, you have to do like the right wingers, and shoot somebody in the head. You sure get their attention THAT way!

For those who wish to argue that folks like Jared Loughner are not so easy to pigeon-hole as left wing or right wing, but as simply crazy, I say: When was the last time someone went crazy and took a pot shot at a conservative politician in the United States?

4. Ray-gun was shot.
Although it's been almost 30 years.

Anyway, assault is wrong, even against a CON.
