Give what happened to Giffords, this was appropriate. Ross did WRONG by failing to comply and rushing the stage where Bachmann was speaking. Ross is a disgraced journalist imfamous for making things up.

“[ABC reporter Brian] Ross dashed after Bachmann, repeatedly asking whether she had ever missed a House vote due to a migraine. She ignored him. Ross pursued her into a parking area behind the stage. Her aides grew alarmed. When Ross made a beeline for the white SUV waiting to carry Bachmann away, two Bachmann men pounced on him, grabbing and pushing him multiple times with what looked to me like unusual force. In fact, I have never seen a reporter treated so roughly at a campaign event, especially not a presidential one. Ross was finally able to break away and lob his question at Bachmann one more time, but she continued to ignore him.

Afterward, I asked Ross — a hard-nosed pro who nevertheless seemed slightly shaken — whether he had ever been treated so roughly. “A few times,” he told me. “Mostly by Mafia people.”

Yeah right. “Hard-nosed”. Ross was fired from NBC in the 90s for making stuff up, here’s some more of his falious exploits.

Nevertheless, Bachmann is a presidential candidate and the security on them is tight – as it should be. No Ross wouldn’t have harmed Bachmann, but his ass-clowning was dangerous as it distracted her aides and bodyguards from protecting her.
