The Right Scoop
Notice the man that puts his hand out and reprimands the ‘stomper’, which I’m sure will be left out by those who want to use this to tarnish the tea party. This statement doesn't mean anything. The man never stepped in between them nor does this means he wasn't affiliated with the 'stomper'. It just shows that he didn't approve of that type of abuse.
Left, right, republican, democrat, liberal, conservative whatever group one belongs to the one sure thing they will bring to the protest is their ego. I have been to a number of them in San Francisco and for the most part it’s just an ego-fest. A good example is the above comments and I am sure more will follow. I nether support nor condone anyone’s actions in the video but one thing is for sure we were not there and did not see what led up to the events depicted in the video or what happened in the moments following the clip. Kudos to the man that stopped it but will anyone in the media recognize him for his actions? He was also a supporter of Rand Paul right? You must ask yourself is the media really that unbiased? Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.
Thats all they need, that guy should be banned from any support group of the T.P.dont need that kind of support.it wont be long before they say look T.P. people are crazy`s
Actually his foot is on the back of her shoulder,which are on the curb,not her neck or head. I'm not condoning his actions, I'm just saying let's keep it accurate.
A spokesman for the Lexington Police Department said on Tuesday afternoon that "Mr. Profitt is currently being served with a criminal summons ordering him to appear before a Fayette County District Court Judge."
You know,maybe I'm wrong and Glenn Beck is right,maybe this is the Weimar Republic.
I hate when conservatives use moonbat talking points... if this was myself bum rushing a Harry Reid rally the headline would be "Idiot Teabagger gets stomped"
You far-right folks need to step up against violent thugs who poison your movement. The Rand Paul head stomper did more to win votes for Democrats than all the liberals' arguments combined and multiplied.
Americans don't like bullies.
Actually, Americans do like bullies... sometimes. It depends on who is being bullied. If it's somebody they find despicable, many will go along with it, and still others will cheer the bully on. It's the kind of thing the fight game is all about. The phenomenon is used in shows like Walker, Texas Ranger... when you see the bad guy take one amateurish swing at Chuck Norris which usually doesn't even connect, and then just stand there for the next two minutes as Walker kicks the crap out of him.
No, not this time...I realize that many out there are depending on incidences such as this to sway voters...but voters aren't as dumb as some may like to think they are...there is an awful lot of talking down to the American people by politicians and various groups out there but I don't think it will succeede this time-everyone is awake and the real fight is on...I think it is safe to say that both parties are in the boxing ring and the bell has rung-we will see who will win but I am not sure the fight is EVER over!!
BTW, how many "violent thugs" in the "movement" have you seen? So far, this is the first time I've seen it from our side.
The rest of the violence have been from the Left.
You sound like a leftie concern troll.
No, I th ink the aqua Buddha ad pretty much gave the election to Paul; that's what the polls are showing. And as far as bullies go, how about the SEIU thugs...I guess that's ok.
Being a 2x combat vet (MP), if I were there, I'd have dropped her, secured her on the ground, searched her as you have no idea who or what todays people are capable of.
I'm sorry, but, I would have fully secured her onto the ground for her actions in rushing to the stage etc...
Please post the entire video, or do not post it. Did she just run over his wife with an SUV? Did she charge the crowd? Was she yelling hate speech? Who knows? I thought that we learned from the Shirley Sherrod incident. Without an unbiased report on what happened, this is all just a mess of biased commentary.
Hey I've posted all of the videos I've got. And I wasn't even talking about her. I was talking about the guy who stomped her. Did you even read what I posted?
I was listening to Rush this morning, he did a segment about this incident along with a background on Lauren Valle. Turns out she is a "professional" agitator (meaning this is how she spends her time) he laid out quite a few of her past misadventures, for the likes of Moveon,Greenpeace and others. I don't know if you caught his show today but it was in the first hour.
I caught it but he seemed to downplay the aggressiveness of the Paul supporters. Whether she's a professional or not, stomper dude was wrong.
Tired of PC nonsense, whatever was done is done. No one posting here was there, maybe she had a gun or someone thought she had a gun, see how an imagination can create any scenario. One thing for sure we will never know the complete truth.
he did not stomp her. He put his foot on her and kept her down. should he have done it, i dont know, i was not there and i dont know what was going on. but it sure does help when righties come right out of the gate and call it stomping when it was clearly not a stomp.
No, he stomped her. It was clearly a stomp. After he put his foot on her, he pushed down and you could see her whole body heave downward.
It was a stomp.
Regardless of it being a stomp, or not, as you said, it was wrong and stupid. I've had to subdue females while I was an active duty MP, and even when they fought as hard as they could, after I got them down there was no need to put a boot on her. This was absolutely uncalled for. If he was concerned about her squirming, he could've gotten down on the ground and got her in a hold (such as by grabbing her arms or shoulders; just not her neck).
I am no supporter of Rand Paul, and thoroughly despise his father; I sincerely believe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Their supporters tend to be the dregs and menaces of and to society, such as Ron's friends in the white supremacist group Stormfront. I really haven't seen any evidence that Rand's supporters are any better, especially with this event. However, I can say this: any attempt to paint Rand with the brush these thugs are smeared (and deservedly so) with is blatantly unfair. I would bet good money that he's never encouraged any such behavior, nor fosters it through his writings or speeches.
The liberal? An idiot, herself. Just as stupid (if not more so) as the Rand Paul supporters. Appearing at an emotionally-charged event with the expressed purpose of causing mischief was really stupid, and, to a degree, she deserved her rough treatment. She has no sympathy from me. Just as the guy should've been charged with battery, she should've been charged with disturbing the/breach of peace. Now, all she'll do is run to her compatriots in the LEC (Liberal Entertainment Complex) and create more problems for those that are associated with Rand Paul. Though Republican in name, I don't know if he's a real Conservative (his father is not). This could be used as last-minute ammunition against other, Real Conservatives, such as O'Donnel, West, etc. "Reporters" bushwhacking them with incendiary questions designed to either pit them against Rand Paul by making condemnatory statements, or to make them look bad by their refusal to comment.
How do you know this is not some kind of set-up? So far, no prosecution of anyone. Maybe the guy with the foot was also a moveon.org person making it look like it was Paul's supporters doing this. My experience with conservatives is that they are not violent, not like the left.
Good point. There's no information to suggest otherwise, so for now he's being labeled a Rand Paul supporter.
No I think they were both Rand Paul supporters, and the guy in the Paul shirt did it so that we could say it was a set-up by Move on. Crafty libs...
Stupid stupid thing to do. What is the backstory there? I mean what did she do that caused them to be pushing her to the ground because it seems rather odd to me. I am wondering if this is like the protester who was "tackled" by the McCain campaign when she repeatedly came at McCain.
This is why I don't like it when Glenn Beck etc. attack the individual union members that behave stupidly and use that as a basis for attacking the whole of the Left etc. Eventually, you're going to be found in a moment of hypocrisy where someone from the Right does the same thing.
It's simply human nature to make bad decisions and do wrong things - and what better reason could there be for limited government? :p
The difference is that we conservatives are condemning the stomper thug, while the NAACP held a rally to support their SEIU thugs, claiming race was involved in the arrests (I guess the third arrested SEIU thug, who was white, doesn't count). I doubt Rand Paul will be holding a rally in support of stomper thug -- in fact, I suspect quite the opposite.
I know plenty of conservatives who are praising the stomper thug as a hero. Here's a link if you'd like:
Over on hotair.com, a conservative blog, comments are 75% against, 25% in favor. Again, we don't hold rallies in support of that kind of stuff like your side does. FYI, there was another assault report filed by a woman -- this one a Paul supporter who had her foot opened up when it was stomped by a male Conway supporter. One wonders what Conway's response to that incident is, other than silence.
I have to disagree with you on this one, I think these incidences should be pointed out by both sides, because as soon as you stop pointing them out there will be someone who will start to use these techniques.
I wasn't saying I was against these incidences being pointed out, but rather that they shouldn't be used to make sweeping generalizations about groups.
So for example in this instance, there will be those of the Left that say this video is proof of how hateful and dangerous Tea Partiers are, or something of that nature. Obviously this is nonsense, but the accusations are made nevertheless.

Except there are distinct differences here: 1) Someone clearly let the "stomper" know he'd gone too far and, 2) this will get covered by the media whereas SEIU abuse is ignored.
