MoveOn.org activist viciously attacks Rand Paul supporter's foot with her head

[Eraserhead]

Because this automatically means Tea Partiers are brownshirts.

Some are, like the thugs in this video.

Can't you teabaggers just admit that stomping on a woman's head is wrong without making excuses and throwing up straw-men all over the place? This isn't a very complicated issue here.

While that Paul volunteer perhaps used too much force restraining the accused felon who lunged at the candidate with a heavy metal object, whatever "excuses" might be used here pale compared to the bizarre behavior of you lefties trying to explain away much more troubling things about Conway.

"Perhaps used too much force?" Stomping on an unarmed woman who had already been assaulted and thrown to the ground is "perhaps" excessive? It's debatable? Could the stomping have served some kind of purpose that I just don't understand? And what has Conway done that is more troubling than this?

See, you people whine about authoritarianism but deep down, so many of you love it! As long as your authoritarians are running the show, of course.  The borderline Jim Jonesesque obsession with the Paul family and their ilk on the part of "libertarians" is quite disturbing.  And please don't whine to me about freedom of speech any more if you think violently attacking a woman trying to express it is not as bad as Jack Conway talking about the Aqua Buddha or whatever.

That was not a stomp on her face, it was a step on her shoulder. A stomp requires much more force.

If a "tea bagger" ran at Obama with a large metal object, I suspect you wouldn't complain at him/her being stopped along the way.

It sure looked like a stomp to me and it was described that way in the report and she was injured so... ?

And you suspect things of me which are not true. By the way, she was trying to present him with a fake award thing. Are you people really going to argue that that looked like a weapon? Pleaseeeeee.

This is a stomp.

Uh, that's a curb stomp... very different from a regular stomp.

The people here defending the guy's actions are quite disturbing. Is this thread also the audition for the SS?

I think the guy should be tossed in jail for that sh**t. I can't believe he is running around free, actually demanding an apology from his victim.

I just saw that on Hardball. What a tough guy! I'd like to see him try that on somebody his own size and gender.

What filth.

Stomping on an unarmed woman who had already been assaulted and thrown to the ground is "perhaps" excessive?

I have to interject here.  It is clear from the video that he placed his foot on her shoulder, and then it slipped down on to her head when the friction of the sweatshirt against her undershirt gave way.  Anyone familiar with walking in the woods knows the force your foot exerts downwards when it slipps off of a log or a rock.  He wasn't intensionally "stomping" on her head.

Now, was there any reason for him to put his foot on her shoulder to begin with?  No, especially when someone else was already holding her down and people were calling for the cops.  The guy will probably be given a small fine and provide a public apology, but that's as far as that will go.  As far as the gal, she will probably have to make a written apology for her actions, but that's it.

Oh pleeeeeaaasssseeee. Come on, MODU. It was clearly intentional.

And the "gal" won't make any apology for expressing herself and being assaulted for it. That's absurd.
