It takes a big man to stand up to socialists.



It takes a bigger one to step on the head of a five foot tall woman.

Nevermind.

Looks like a "Mrs. Obama breaking the law at a polling place" type of issue to me.

I like her possum defense. Play dead and they will lose interest

I'm with you, SS66. That stupid liberal bitch needs to learn to take a punch like a real woman.

Typical wingnut, teabag move.

Our Constitution in action!

Definitely an seiuing if I've ever seen one. No two ways about it.

Was that your boot, Rick?

I am shocked that Rick is suggesting that someone else did this first, ergo, this isn't so bad.

I'm stunned that Rickenhawk would make light of a woman getting stomped.

Of course, she doesn't share Rickenhawk's political views, so I guess she deserves whatever she gets.

Here's the guy that wrestled her to the ground. Does this meet the definition of irony?

Basic thug behavior. The guy in power makes the rules and the rest of you are just supposed to bow down and accept it. Has nothing to do with politics, just bullies enjoying their trade.

Hmmmm. It seems to have been removed for TOS violations. What happened? Another "classy" incident from the Tea Partyers?

The stomper's occupation is "retired."

Isn't it funny that so many teabaggers are on the government dole or retired?

Get a job, teabag.

It appears that Paul supporters are flagging the video as "too violent" for youtube (oh, the irony) - but here you go:

Bob L., is that photo the actual stomper? How the hell is that guy retired?

[This message has been edited by Buck Showalter (10/27/2010)]

Dunno. He's 53 years old.

No, the guy in the photo is the grappler, not the stomper.

Gonna push some little girls tonight

Probably a silver spoon. That would be about right for the teabagging dumbasses.

That is the most disgusting thing I've seen in a long time.

These dumb procreates are so protective of the Constitution but I seriously doubt any of these illiterate pricks have actually read it.

Evidentially the 1st Amendment no longer has meaning to these clowns and is merely an obstacle to be overcome.

Nah.

I'd guess the teabagging stomper either:

(a) filed a bogus worker's comp claim and is living off that
(b) washed out of a government job, possibly as an MP in the Army or maybe as Walt the postman, and is living off a bogus mental disability claim.
(c) was a full-time firefighter in Bumprocreate, KY (Miles City, Montana's sister city) and retired after 25 years of sitting on his fat ass.


Any of those options would be teabagger-like.

Hahahaha

Jimmy McMillan would kick his ass

Bob, bingo. Back issues?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA


I bet he got one of those free scooters, too!

I'm not a Rand Paul proponent nor do I want to defend the stomper guy but this woman who got stomped goes running up to Rand Paul's car window, shoves her sign in at him, poking at his face with the sign, then goes running around his vehicle and comes back for seconds. If you go looking for trouble don't be surprised when you find it.

Is there no sanity left on any side of the political debate? Of course if you accost a candidate for political office there are going to be repercussions. Either demonstrate in a non-threatening manner or be prepared for the consequences. I think the Rand Paul haters who are making an issue of this look foolish. Am I misunderstanding something here?

As I'm sure Bridgier knows deep down, I'm not really condoning violence.

The seiu thing was just to point out that if we want to spend all our time pointing out each others' sides' kooks, it could easily be a 24/7 occupation.

Kooks on the left over the years have been every bit as violence-prone and freakish as those on the right. It's all about where you focus.

Although I do have to ask... how apoplectic would mc.com get if a Republican tried something like this.

If you go looking for trouble don't be surprised when you find it.

I have to agree. I don't think that this is a reflection whatsoever on Rand Paul, but instead a reflection on this "kook" as Ricky so eloquently puts it. I will, however, chuckle to myself if Bob L. was spot-on with the background on this guy. It takes all kinds. And yes, there are kooks on all sides. PETA is a great example. For a group that detests violence against animals, some of their kooks sure don't mind promoting violence against human beings.

Check out this goober teabagger, most recently seen gooning it up for teabag Alaska Senate candidate Joe Miller.

This clown even holds elective office.

And he's originally a stump jumper, too! Attended (but didn't graduate) from Lincoln High in beautiful(?) Teef River Falls. What a winner.

I don't support violence on either side of any political issue. What happened to Lauren Valle is wrong. IMO, pushing a women to the ground or roughly handling her is wrong and stepping on her head is despicable.

However, in the interest of understanding the full situation, Lauren isn't innocent as the wind-driven snow:

Kooks on the left over the years have been every bit as violence-prone and freakish as those on the right. It's all about where you focus.

And your examples?

What was up with the woman (the stompee) wearing a wig? Was she trying to disguise herself?

Is this the Rand Paul campaign song?

However, in the interest of understanding the full situation, Lauren isn't innocent as the wind-driven snow:

To rebut: So? I throw a sign at you, you stomp on my head?

I wonder where Rickenhawk will find the left's equivalent to Timothy McVeigh?

To rebut: So? I throw a sign at you, you stomp on my head?

Not at all. Again what happened to her is wrong. But, I believe it to be a little disingenuous to not present the whole story of what caused the reaction in the first place and pretend that the tea-party people are the only ones on the face of the earth that behave in such a manner.

ELF

That's a pretty weak attempt

How many bulldozers must die before the scourge of ELF is eradicated?

I'm not so much talking about the personal property damage, as the use of arson to accomplish their goals. As everyone knows, fire is completely unpredictable, and with every "action", they risk not only the lives of human beings, but the lives of the animals they say they must protect at all costs.

I think that this nitwit at the Rand Paul rally is a jerk, and I do think that stepping on her head puts it over the edge. But, I don't think I can make the argument that it is worse than intentionally starting fires, knowing you cannot control the outcome, and risking the lives of others in the process.

Can I see some body count statistics before this goes any farther?

Yes, could we please see some body count statistics from the Rand Paul rally?

Anyway, how were Paul's people supposed to know they were dealing with a peace-loving type, vs., let's say, a Jack Ruby-type, when she is rushing at the man? I agree with Dave and Richard. She is not without culpability. That doesn't mean she should have been treated so poorly once she was on the ground, but you have to expect if you rush at a public figure, there is going to be a response you may not like.

Because the people who held her down and stepped on her head weren't security personnel or professionals. The security professionals had already dealt with the protester, as could be seen in Richard's video.

In other words, the people holding her down and stepping on her head were doing it because they wanted to, not because they had to.

Now I understand. Bridgier and I are looking at different videos. Bridgier, could you post a link to the video you saw?

I can't believe my dad is such a liar. Dad, you're a liar. I am too allowed to hit a girl, she just has to give me a good reason.

But But But.... the stomping teabagger had a bad back.

I'm sure he really didn't want to stomp on anyone!

I'm going to put on a wig and a hoodie, charge at a candidate's car window as he pulls up to a campaign rally, shove something into his open car window, be shooed away by security, then run around his vehicle and charge at him again just a few seconds later as he walks away from his vehicle. Then I'm going to cry foul when I'm tackled and held by campaign volunteers as they wait for the police to come and get me so I can't keep disrupting the candidate. Brilliant. That poor, poor thing.

I hated that procreateing movie. Or was it a sitcom? Whatever.

It's simple you rush a candidate, and take 2 swings at him. This crazy woman did not even get a black eye. If I took a swing at barney franks, I would be tased 5 times and die mysteriously awaiting trial. The woman should have lost teeth on this one.

So now she took a couple of swings at him?

WTF is "Barney Franks", you procreateing idiot?

Yes she took two swings But your precious main stream media did not give you the whole picture, when you get tired of being duped come over to the truth at coast to coast with george noory. we take all types even un educated liberals we can set you straight.

Isn't it "lame stream media" to you, wingnut?

At least learn the lingo, idiot.
