Rand Paul Supporters Curb Stomp MoveOn Supporter

Post Reply New Topic

MoveOn and the unions are known to do sneaky stuff.

Are you quoting something off of Stormfront?

To say the least.

Speaking of unions, oh my god, there have been quite few beatdowns at the hands of them in the last year or two, specifically by the purple shirted SEIU members.

This isn't the first dirty trick used against Paul, not to long ago a Jack Conway supporter was caught dressing up as a Rand Paul supporter and said some racial slurs at some political picnic or something.

I'll say this - I think Toyota used Lexus-spec glass, weatherstripping, and sound deadening in the Prius to try to keep "progressive" ideas and thoughts from propagating in the outside world - just as long as the doors or windows are closed. And the reason why fixies don't have brakes in case Darwin feels like making his mark...

Name-calling and stereotypes, what every liberal resorts to when conflicted with facts.

One bad apple or event is not representative of an entire movement. Stomping of the move-on chick was wrong in many ways. Judging them all based on this one event is like judging all aspies base on watching the movie Rainman.

Apparently there's this really steep hill in Arcata, CA, where the hippie university Humboldt State is located, and the kids like to rush down it on their bikes. Well, this kid was on a one speed, and tried to stop at the bottom of the hill...SPLAT. That's not the only splat on a one speed in Arcata either, the local alt-news paper had an article decrying all the bicycle deaths in town.

Nope, survivalist forums. People are convinced that the end is near, and that when the economy collapses it will be open season on the libs who "caused" it to fail.

The Conway supporter, Tyler Collins, has since admitted his guilt and apologized.

typical SEIU

Even beyond all this, who cares what one or two individuals do? How does that reflect on Dr. Paul as US Senator even remotely? I'd imagine all you guys were screaming bloody murder about Bill O'Reilly's latest comments about Muslims or the Ground Zero mosque. I'd be willing to bet more than a few Obama supporters have done some crimes in the last 2 years, does that make Obama implicit in their crimes? Does that make all Obama supporters criminals?

This is just desperation.

Perhaps what I find most disturbing is the implication by some anti-liberal posters that she somehow had it coming because she was with MoveOn. Sounds a lot like the argument that a raped woman had it coming because she dressed like a slut. Violence is violence, don't blame the victim.

Ugh no, the implication is that she and MoveOn are looking for trouble. If this was a Tea Partier bum rushing Obama, the people retraining said person would be hailed as heroes. How does that sound anything remotely like a raped woman? Just shut up, seriously. You're buying right into the corporate media narrative.

The guy has been dismissed as a volunteer and banned from future events. Time to move on, MoveOn.

The guys in the video were a**holes for overreacting to a political stunt, everyone else are a**holes for exploiting the situation to further their own agendas. Seriously, "curb-stomp"? American History X this was not.

There apparently was a second assault charge filed last night too. A Paul supporter had her foot that which was recovering from foot surgery and was in a boot stomped on by a Conway supporter. It reopened her surgical scar and was bleeding afterward.

These jackbooted thugs must be stopped.

Character limit and it fit for stomping on someone's face when they're being held down to the ground.

I would hardly call it a stomp even. Looks like what you'd see on Cops every day. It was dumb and they should of left the restraining up to the professionals but Paul supporters should of never had to act as crowd control either. It was a situation where you had a woman who was in disguise trying to rush their candidate from behind, I can understand how in the moment this could of happened. This is 100% on the police for inadequate crowd control.

I don't think she was too upset or hurt either judging by the smirk on her face the whole time and afterwards. She got what she wanted.

All I could think of when I saw this was the quote from Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face... FOREVER!"

I agree with Dox47 on this one. Everyone seems to be manipulating this incident for his or her own political agenda. The progressives here are outraged that it happened to one of their own, and the conservatives are blaming MoveOn for the incident, and nobody is acknowledging that our political discorse has deteriorated so badly that violence is being substituted for civil discussion. I mean, seriously-- aren't we supposed to be above this sort of behavior? I thought our democracy was founded on the principle that every voice and every position should be free to express itself without intimidation through threats of bodily harm. Perhaps this is naive of me-- forgive me for still believing in democracy. The woman was exercising her 1st Amendment freedom of speech; this should not be punishable by the sort of assault that was directed against her, regardless of whether she was representing MoveOn or the NRA.

This is why, as of late, I am wary of trying to have political discussions. More often than not, the discussions cease to be civil, and turn into shouting matches and volleys of insults. There are serious problems that need to be fixed now, and none of this belligerence and partisan division is helping.
