This from the Progressive Post down in San Diego who just sent an article in the Ocean Beach Rag... Sounds like Tea Partiers, even after the election continue to have the penchant for violence towards others they don't like...

Election Central: Popaditch and supporters push victor Congressman Filner up against a wall.

Tonight, as election returns were flowing into San Diego Election Central at Golden Hall, an ugly scene erupted when Popaditch supporters harassed Bob Filner, the Democratic Congressman. Filner had just won re-election against Popaditch in the 51st Congressional District.

Chanting aggressively and calling Filner names, a band of Popaditch supporters corralled Filner and a couple of staffers, in effect pushing the Congressmen and his party close to a wall at Golden Hall. The crowd of Popaditch supporters were chanting their candidate’s name, not in an excited, friendly manner, but in an aggressive, confrontational way.

“Commie!” was yelled, and one tea bagger kept yelling at Filner – not 10 feet away – “Don’t tread on me, Bob! Don’t tread on me, Bob!” Others are heard picking that chant up, and repeating it.

1. A bunch of sore losers. I've never been so ashamed to have been a Marine in my life!

2. I think Jon got it all wrong on Saturday. Half wrong, at least.

Hi, I was at this event and got squashed in the crowd and came
out of it very disturbed.  Here is another video:

Edit: I can't get the embed to work.  Here is a direct link.

At about 1:10 you can clearly hear some people yelling
"JEW!"

I would really like to see this story get out.  I think it
deserves a much bigger audience than just some local papers
and blogs.
