Jason Mattera is having quite a week. He’s got a new book out, he asked Lois Lerner some questions she didn’t like, and now Bob Beckel wants to kill him. So, getting assaulted by Harry Reid’s bodyguard is just the icing on the cake.

Here’s what happens when you asks a corrupt politician about his corruption:

Some people don’t like Mattera’s confrontational approach. I just have one question for them: What happened to comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable?

Mattera doesn’t attack anybody, physically or otherwise. He asks them questions. Why is it only okay to question government officials when they’re Republicans?

Yelling at people in a restaurant for eating meat is okay. Disrupting a concert to protest a shooting that nobody present had anything to do with is okay. Asking direct questions of politically powerful people is not okay.

Welcome to 2014.
