It wasn't entirely a beautiful day in the neighborhood yesterday at the Palin rally.
One of our reporters, Joe Killian, is kicked by a rally-goer.
Classy.
Joe's take.
Joe's fine, by the way, and is ready to move to the next day's story.
Update: A report on the arrest of an Elon University student here. Meanwhile, Sara comments at Binker's place about other incidents.

What outrageous act did Joe commit that caused him to be kicked! I'm sure he was just "standing around" and suddenly someone broke from the crowd and put a kick on him. The ole "kicking bandit" must be back in town! Beau

Why would anyone believe anything a N&R reporter would say about a Republican Rally? Have you heard the one about another liberal, sycophant reporter/cheerleader who said someone in a Palin crowd yelled out "kill him." Only problem is, according toe the secret service, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! These despicable Obama shills should all be fired after the first lie, or distortion! Hey, then we wouldn't have any left. I'm surprised there was anyone in the crowd who didn't kick the sycophant!
