So, I can easily enough concede that a duly-authorized representative of the church, Kitzhaber campaign, and/or group hosting the event may have indeed had the right to demand that the man turn off his camera.]]>Fri, 24 Sep 2010 16:30:08 -0400<![CDATA[Moe Lane]]>https://redstate.com/moe_lane/2010/09/24/kitzhaber-d-cand-or-gov-supporter-punches-cameraman-n36363
