I know, hardly original. Everything about the Syria situation these days just leads to heavy sighs. The antics of this [child-kicking, father-tripping, immigrant-hating turd](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hungarian-journalist-kicks-children_55ef9ae8e4b093be51bcb916) somehow managed to make things worse. At least they fired the bitch. ---

What’s weird is she did that in front of a camera. KKK members wouldn’t think that’s a good idea. ---

Looks about par for the course for Jobbik assholes. (I lived in Hungary from '98-'03, and towards the end of my stay Jobbik made their debut on the political scene, taking the extreme right fringe of the already quite-right MIÉP party.) They are a frightening nationalistic party. ---

She was doing her part to stop the Islamic invasion of Europe. In due time, as people realize the barbarity of the savages Europe is importing, more and more people will share her views. ---

In due time, as people realize the barbarity of the savages Europe is importing, more and more people will share her views. I knew you were a white supremacist, but I didn’t realize you supported violence against children. It shouldn’t be surprising, though; white supremacists are pretty uniformly moral scum. ---

Watching the video of her tripping the kids reminded me of the soccer match scene in Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life. Interesting things about Jobbik (which sounds like one of Frodo’s friends): > [@](#): > > From Wikipedia: > > "The party describes itself as “a principled, conservative and radically patriotic Christian party”, whose “fundamental purpose” was the protection of "Hungarian values and interests.“Jobbik describes itself as rejecting “global capitalism”,[European integration and Zionism.” So they’re Hungarian republicans. Big whoop. ---

[ > [@Petra Laszlo](#): > > I was scared as they streamed toward me, and then something snapped inside me. With the camera in my hands, I didn’t see who was coming toward me. I just thought they were on the attack and I had to defend myself.

I do not deserve the political witch hunt that has been launched against me, nor do I deserve the abusive threats that often call for my death.

> [@Sitnam](#): > > What’s weird is she did that in front of a camera. KKK members wouldn’t think that’s a good idea. Yea, kicking a ten-year old girl with bows in her hair kinda crosses the line between everyday villainy and cartoonish super-villainy. We’re lucky there weren’t any Syrian puppies amongst the refugees. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-jobbik-loving-journalist-petra-laszlo/730459.md?page=2)
