They can't have evidence of their rabid attacks on law abiding citizens exposed to the general public, can they?

Thank you for posting this. Nathan Tabor is a friend of mine and an ally of ALIPAC's.

I am calling him right now to offer our assistance.

Nathan Tabor was on Neil Cavuto today telling about the incident. Cavuto showed even more video of the attacker again making verbal threats against Tabor, then leaving the scene in his car. He said the magistrate, even after the urging of the police officer, REFUSED to watch the video of the incident. BOTH TABOR AND THE ATTACKER HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.

GREENSBORO, N.C. --
A political activist and the man who punched him in the face at a rally in Forsyth County on Tuesday will both face charges, police said Thursday night.

It's the punch seen around the country, and it happened in the Triad.

The fight broke out during a protest rally outside Rep. Mel Watts' office on Greene Street in downtown Greensboro. About two-dozen people were marching in protest of liberal leaders in Washington and taxpayer-funded bailouts.

Police said Govenor Spencer, a 63-year-old Greensboro man and registered Democrat, hit activist Nathan Tabor, the head of Forsyth County's Republican Party.

The confrontation started out as a shoving match, some of which was captured on camera.

Police said Spencer confronted the protestors, blaming the country's problems on former President George W. Bush. Minutes later the shoving started and then came the punch, police said.

The story has spread like wildfire across the Internet. By mid-afternoon Tuesday, the video of the punch had more than 36,000 views on YouTube. Blog sites like "Frisk a Liberal" are also sharing the video with their followers.

On Thursday, Tabor was back organizing political rallies. His latest plan is to rally in Winston-Salem in support of Sen. Richard Burr.

Tabor said he has no bruises from the punch, but he can't understand how magistrates in Greensboro ended up charging both him and Spencer with assault.

He said he admits that he pushed Spencer, but Tabor said he did so only after his wife was pushed by Spencer.

Both men have a July 7 court date for simple assault charges.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The head of the Forsyth County Republican Party celebrated a not guilty verdict Wednesday night.

A camera caught Governor Spencer punching Nathan Tabor and Tabor shoving back following a political protest in June.

Tabor was charged with assault following the attack.

WXII 12 spoke with Tabor Wednesday evening about his legal victory.

"You know, when the judge announced that I was not guilty, it kind of felt like the pilgrim's progress, the weight of the world off my shoulders (and) that justice really had been served," Tabor said.

Spencer was also in court on Wednesday. He was found guilty of simple assault. He won't face jail time, but attorneys said he'll have to pay court costs.

Tabor said he doesn't think Spencer planned to get into a fight with him at the protest.
