Normally you wouldn't, but they were just assaulted by the man they were asking questions. He's a congressman, which translates into power, and by posting the video on the internet they made him look bad.
I would be worried about him taking further action after being embarrassed on the internet if he had that kind of reaction to a question, especially since he went out of his way to get the kids face on the camera. He doesn't know who the kids are, but if the face wasn't blurred you can bet someone would know who it was and post that knowledge in a matter of hours. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Roberts [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 3:43 PM To: cf-community Subject: RE: More Senseless Political Violence If all you are doing is just asking questions, why should you fear reprisal? I think this reprisal things is a red herring.

If, as they say, they were simply working on a project then they didn't do anything wrong. They were a bit rude, but no more so than a lot of the press in this country. However, based on Etheridge's reaction to being asked a simple question they had good reason to fear reprisal anyway. I'm simply answering the question 'Why blur the face if the weren't GOP hatchet men'. Fear of reprisal doesn't mean you've done something wrong. More often it means you're afraid someone else will. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Roberts [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 11:36 AM To: cf-community Subject: RE: More Senseless Political Violence If you are doing something that is wrong and you fear reprisal, then you shouldn't be doing it either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:321286 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
