Jim Bryson Trying to Emulate Sen. Allen in Attacking Counter-Message Team
It appears that TN GOP gubernatorial candidate is trying to follow in the footsteps of Sen. Allen. Instead of using racial slurs, Bryson's staff is using laser pointers into the eyes of the Governor's counter-message team.
The war of words between Democrats and Republicans has escalated to include laser beams and physical confrontation in gubernatorial candidate Jim Bryson's bus tour of East Tennessee, according to somewhat conflicting accounts from campaigners.
Members of Republican Bryson's staff stand accused of directing beams from pocket laser-pointers into the eyes of Democrats who have been following the Bryson bus, making videotapes of the candidate and distributing pamphlets.
And, just like in the Allen case, repugnut operatives are trying to turn the tables and accuse the counter-message team.
Bryson spokesman Lance Frizzell denied that Democratic eyes were targeted by lasers and, in turn, accused the Democratic team of "shoving" a Republican and other "unruly behavior," including "defacing" the bus with Bredesen bumper stickers.
Accusing the accuser, I find to be extremely childish. If you did it, own up to it. Hey, William Pierce, I'm talking to you.
The fact of the matter is, several of the counter-message team's eyes were targeted, and a police report was filed. Then, Humphrey reports that the GOP team states, they will "probably stop using the lasers," after being advised by police of the ramifications of laser pointers.
Shows me that the repugnuts are lying to save their asses and laser pointers were being used.
Pointing a laser beam into someone else's eyes is reprehensible, childish, and dangerous. These staff members should not be retained by a candidate that is serious in holding or retaining an elected office.
As for laser pointers and if they are harmful or not, the FDA has classified laser pointers as being harmful. Lasers are classified according to their degree of hazard from Class 1 to Class 4, Class 4 being the most hazardous. Most laser pointers in the US are Class 2 and Class 3a lasers. The eye's blink reflex (0.25 seconds) is usually enough to protect the eye from damage due to visible lasers, however Class 3a lasers do have the potential to cause damage if viewed directly for greater than 0.25 seconds.
The FDA requires warning labels to be placed on laser pointers including it's classification and instructions telling users to not look directly into the beam. Unfortunately, there are now reports of lasers being imported from China and Russia that are not properly labeled. These lasers are significantly more dangerous and contain a green beam rather than a red one. Before buying a laser pointer, be sure to check that it contains a FDA warning label.
Which brings me back to GOP campaign operations. Yes, there will always be counter-message teams, for both sides. Candidates and their campaign staff expect it, and set up their own. But, what I find horrifying is the emerging trend of GOP candidates and staff resorting to unseemly behavior. When this unseemly behavior is seen by voters, it should not be condoned, but be chalked up to a big, fat check mark in the "con" column of why that candidate is not acceptable to hold an elected office, particularly the higher levels of our state and national governments.
