- IrishJoe, on 10/10/2007, -48/+403He's lucky Lord Dick Voldermort didn't pull out his wand and shout Avada Kedavra. The Dark Lord was in a forgiving mood that day.
- zCharden, on 10/10/2007, -32/+243At least he isn't as bad as Stalin who would have people killed daily to keep the country scared...
...oh wait - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -39/+240Where is the story? Who is the guy? buried for having no facts.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -28/+151Documentation? Do you have a name? When did this happen? Where did this happen? Is there a police report? Any corroborating news stories that didn't come from a blog? Please provide us with verifiable proof that this ever happened.
- skjede, on 10/10/2007, -14/+82Sure, most men with their 8 year old son are looking to "start a riot". We can assume that if this guy assaulted the VICE PRESIDENT, he wouldn't be contacted a few minutes later... he'd be in Gitmo.
- satx, on 10/10/2007, -16/+77This is very old. I heard about this at least a year ago. Not that this detracts from the Cheney's evil.
- hbeierg, on 10/10/2007, -4/+58He is lucky he didn't get shot in the face
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -20/+68does it hurt having your head so far up your ass?

FTA..."A Golden man is suing a Secret Service agent who arrested him after he made a caustic comment to Vice President Dick Cheney on a sidewalk in Beaver Creek last June....Howards said he may have touched Cheney on the elbow or shoulder, like others in the crowd...The charge was later reduced to harassment, then dismissed in Eagle County Court a month later."
Story almost 4 years old, guy admits he "may have touched" Cheney, charges were dropped and he sued. Big deal. This sensationalist ***** needs to stop. Yeah, he's a ***** guy whose in the pocket of big oil. We get it. However, this guy blogging about a story this old with no facts listed is pointless. Buried as lame. - Mariachi94, on 10/10/2007, -2/+36Ya know what? You should start a whole "Facts about Dick Cheney" a la Chuck Norris, except the facts all point to how evil Dick is.
"Dick Cheney is so evil, he made Satan ***** his pants and then eat them." - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -11/+45that's how dictatorships work, by silencing the dissidents.
- TomTruelle, on 10/10/2007, -6/+39OH NO YOU DIDNT
- Otto, on 10/10/2007, -2/+34Proof: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Steven+Howards%22+Cheney
- NihilFist, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28Interesting, this kind of stuff used to happen in my country... when the comunist regime was still at rule that is, close to 20 years ago.
Have fun, America. - Zarokima, on 10/10/2007, -2/+29You shouldn't mention Nazi Germany when you're talking about Dick Cheney. It's a little know fact that he had a relative who died in a Concentration Camp.-- His uncle fell off a guard tower.
- logicalnoise, on 10/10/2007, -10/+33he has no spine.....so no.
- yikiad, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23FTA: "The lawsuit asks for money for attorneys fees and damages that include loss of enjoyment of life."
Can I sue my wife, too? - johnhummel, on 10/10/2007, -4/+24He doesn't have to kill them - just shooting his best friend's in the face is scary enough. I mean, if that's what he does to a guy he *likes*, what is he going to to do you?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18Fourth. This is the Fourth Reich.
- Otto, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Facts:
-The man's name is Steven Howards.
-The event happened in Beaver Creek, Colorado
- He was charged initially with assault, the charge was reduced to harassment, and eventually dismissed.
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_5039230,00.htm - dp1140a, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Yeah like using all CAPITAL LETTERS
- homesickalien, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17I guess it's time to put all those guns to use and take back your country from the third reich.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Howards is suing for unlawful seizure, unlawful search and retaliation for exercising his constitutional right to free speech.
At this point ALL Americans better get prepared..... - chrismgtis, on 10/10/2007, -8/+22You are a moron. I'm sure everyone can just provide "video proof" of everything that happens in there lives and is able to pull out a video camera when the need arises like some fictional movie. You had better wake up. It's fine to keep an open mind and not believe everything that you read, but you show no common sense whatsoever.
- 0xbadfood, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13"Dick Cheney shot a man in the face, and the man apologized." Oh wait, that one is actually true.
- thatsmyaibo, on 10/10/2007, -17/+30So are we going to believe everyone with a blogspot account now?
- eokthecow, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Actually, the guys name is Steven Howard. Rothschild just recounted the story on the radio.
- Endemoniada, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15Do NOT digg this guy down. He posts facts that are nothing but relative to this story, and anyone who believes it is fake.
If you're afraid of the truth, go hide. Don't hide it from everyone else too. - aposter, on 10/10/2007, -11/+23... don't exist in the United States any more.
- sabach, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Damn, that made me lol.
- o0adam0o, on 10/10/2007, -6/+17Yeah but i wouldnt get the Potter analogies :(
- Waiting2awake, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10 Or because others remember it and want it to be seen by others? Judging by the diggs it would appear to be popular. Here is an idea, how about checking out the links provided for you nay-sayers in this very thread that show multiple sources confirming it's a fact, instead of just dismissing it.
- Endemoniada, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Yeah, this story's pretty much just blog spam... but it is NOT made up.
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_5083602,00.html - darthmiho, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11he's basically a lich....vader had a planet killing laser...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -17/+26First amendment rights?
- cersad, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Nice bit of detective work. Good to see some people are willing to search for evidence for/against these articles.
- thrallie, on 10/10/2007, -6/+14Theres been so much ***** on liberty by our politicians that I am sick of hearing about more.
- tehpwnerofn00bs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10We really don't need to provoke Uncle Dick's gloomy mood. Its bad enough already. Just wait until we really piss him off.
Frankly, if I already know I'll be arrested for assault, I might as well just punch him. Its kinda like double jeopardy. - captinherb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/04/washington/04cheney.html?ex=1317614400&en=179d916c19cff7b3&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

EDIT: Oops, I see cGt2099 already posted links further down - Waiting2awake, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10 NO, but being an American used to mean you had the right to voice an opinion. Not just when it agrees with the Government.
- Apokalips1337, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8And people say we have freedom of speech!
- PresidentSoup, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9I guess Dick doesn't know that democracy thrives on dissent.
- mistercobber, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7google this guy's name Steven Howards with cheney together and see for yourself. If you think Denver Post and NY Times is not creditable then what? Although the mainstream never picked up on the full story, but consider this: 1) if he did attacked Cheney you think they'll let him off the hook with a State level harassment charge? 2) If he did attacked Cheney shouldn't he be on the ground with 10 secret service on top of him? 3) if he did attacked Cheney you think we won't hear it as breaking news over all major network?
- logicalnoise, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7which this man did not perform.
- facelesscoward, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Absolutely. If we would all just keep our negative opinions to ourselves, we wouldn't even need a First Amendment! Wouldn't that be lovely?
- GabrielS, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8OK. Thanks for the correction. I saw the later comments that name the actual person.
- luvkit, on 10/10/2007, -8/+15No, this story has no factual evidence AT ALL! It's based on someone calling up a radio show and making a claim without any hard facts, and this blogger retelling the story he heard on the radio. You can't believe everything you read and hear just because you don't like Dick Cheney and neither does this guy.
As a skeptic, I don't accept something without some evidence... and this story doesn't even include the man's name that was arrested, or when and where the supposed confrontation took place. - MrKoala, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7We might not be communists but God help the man who tries to deny Bush and Cheney their dictatorship.
