Seriously, dude? We're not blind. They stomped on her freakin' head/neck. I would call that violence. On the plus side, this may mark the first time anyone has ever used the phrase "virtually no head-stomping".
Giddy the lady had been following the campaign for several weeks. They knew she was wearing the wig as part of her protest. All of Paul's goons knew who she was and made threats to her before Paul arrived ("we might have to take someone down") you don't know what you are talking about
Foot + anywhere in the vicinity of one's head = clearly violent Giddyup + abovementioned excusing the situation = clearly dingbat
OK. So she could be attacking Rand Paul (even though she's just shoving something in his face). You take her down to the ground. Great. She's restrained. Hold her there until Paul is safe. Is it really necessary to stomp on her head when she's obviously restrained? Are you just a supporter of the "That's what you get!" attitude, or what?
jesus christ that video is creepy. they sound like a bunch of zombies yelling "rand paul". anyhow...i don't see anything in there that is too crazy and certainly nothing where you would need to throw a woman down and step on her head to restrain her.
Don't agree with the head stomp, that was just stupid and uncalled for. Just irritates me that people think that this is the majority of the people in the Tea Party. There are dumb people on both side of the fence people!
Please point out liberal goons shoving a woman to the ground and stomping on their head. BTW the headline from your link is misleading. "MoveOn.Org Activist Lied About Events"? The video clearly shows that Paul's goons surrounded her and knew who she was just like she said.
We both know if I wanted to put in the effort, I could find examples. Just not worth my time. Again, that was totally uncalled for. But, this was still some kind of set up.
MoveOn's response to the new stomping-truther video -- "Lauren made no secret of the fact that she was trying to get a picture with Rand Paul and her satirical sign at this event. If the candidate, or any of his supporters, felt threatened by a girl with a poster, once they had pulled her away from the car, the threat had passed. Nothing justifies the violence of her head being stomped on the curb once she was on the ground. This is nothing less than the men involved, and the Paul campaign, once again trying to justify an obvious assault once they have been exposed."
good thing she didn't move after they told her not to move. it probably saved her life. i mean she's lucky she wasn't killed by those rabid zombie rand paul tea party supporters. also, they were well within their rights to throw her to the ground, step on her head and detain her. this is america. it's in the constitution...somewhere...anyhow... ...haynesworth just nudged gurode's head <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W5nlEA8BUTQ?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W5nlEA8BUTQ?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> ...chase really should not have tried to take the charge here. what was he thinking? <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZryYqFmoc?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZryYqFmoc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> good tea party face stomp defense here. you have to watch out for those rabid dogs. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZryYqFmoc?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZryYqFmoc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
As I stated earlier I will agree she is at fault for trying to pull a stupid political stunt. Those guys are at fault for committing assault.
You agree that she did something slightly silly, while they committed assault; I'm assuming, then, that you'd agree that the two men are much more at fault here than she is. Correct?
