Unbelievable. [rquoter]In a separate incident, according to the Kentucky Post, "a Conway supporter stepped on the foot of a female Rand supporter, who recently had foot surgery. The woman was wearing a surgical boot, but after the injury, her incision was cut open. Police say she refused medical treatment and also filed an assault report."[/rquoter] Stepped on the foot? Did this happen before or after they stomped this girl's head on camera? That sounds like someone was trying to counteract the stupiditea of their assault so they found some lame incident to show it wasn't just them that were out of control. In fact... surgical boot? Refused treatment but filed assault? The whole thing sounds embellished or fabricated.
Thats pretty bad. Pushing some girl down and stomping on her. I don't know what she did (or was trying to do) but there is no excuse for that. It looks like she was dressed up in the wig and was doing something thats why all these people were yelling "Call the cops". She obviously was trying to piss people off in the middle of their rally and it worked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz2nnHdC6D4&feature=player_embedded#! Here is a clip from the same Youtube page. Its kind of ironic that most of you seem to think every conservative or tea party person is just an extremist violent, militia loving racist. There are a number of those, just as there are blind communists and eco-freaks in the democratic party and there are extremists within Islam. Don't paint with such a broad brush.
I think it's interesting that both sides are more angry at the other, rather than the politicians that are causing the most damage. It's where a multimillionare can call the Ivy school grad an "elitist", and someone who voted for spending in his last 2 terms can reinvent himself as an outsider.
Sorry the lady got stomped but it is stupid to show up at a political event wearing a disguise and perpetrating a ruse. She's too early for Halloween. This is the kind of event where assassination attempts are made.
I know god forbid someone wear a wig and play pointed joke. People should know better than to do something so awful as that. That is really a horrible thing to do. She should have known better.
1. Good for Shep Smith for calling it like it is. 2. I love this from the Think Progress site in mc mark's link: Profitt’s accomplice, who held Valle down while he stepped on her head, has been identified as tea party activist Mike Pezzano. Gawker reports Pezzano “belongs to Lexington’s Rand Paul Meetup group and is an “assistant organizer” for Kentucky Open Carry, a group that wants to make it legal to carry firearms openly and in public.” Yeah, of all the people I want carrying firearms everywhere they go, Pezzano would be my first choice. LOL 3. "She was wearing a wig! a wig! there could have been a GUN under there!"
Paid or volunteer? Appointed or self-appointed? The link above my post says he is a coordinator for an open carry movement and a self identified member of a rand paul meetup group... Just trying to find out what he really is... Sounds like someone is lying.
What do you expect? This is a guy who justified arresting people who showed up to Bush rallies wearing an anti-bush t-shirt
