    Nasty .An assault report was filed but there have been no arrests. I expect there will be.
    Also at the rally a Paul supporter who recently had foot surgury was assaulted by a Conway supporter and had her surgical incision opened. She also has filed charges.
    So what happened ? There were 2 fights at the debate of a heated political campaign.
    Come on man! How many incidents like this happen at a Phillies or Eagles game ?

    So you are saying it is OK for people to have their head and feet stomped on at a debate because drunks do it at sporting events?

    ... not at all . I'm just saying it happens at gatherings of passionate people. Ever see one of those South Korean parliament sessions ? I hope I don't have to cite all the times in our history that our leaders got violent with each other .

    I am passionate when I go to a sixers game or phillies game (I don't go to eagles games) and not once have I ever hurt anyone. It is a disgrace for ANYONE to behave like this. Big man kicking a woman when she is down.

    That was ugly and stupid.

    P.S. I don't go to Eagles games any more either. I don't want to be assaulted, spit on, cursed out, have beer spilled on me or otherwise be around Eagles fans. I may not want to go to Cowboys games either, they suck so bad. Congrats to the Gnats.

    Agreed . But do you think it says anything at all about the candidate ? No . I've seen emotions erupt at village meetings over issue much more insignificant than the ones being debated .

    I also could say that the Move-on women was trying to provoke a response by attempting to give Rand Paul the silly plaque . But of course the guy assaulting her should be charged.

    Hello again, tom:

    Yes, I do. Just like I think the arrest of the reporter says a lot about Joe Miller. Just like I think the misbehavior of our troops says a lot about George W. Bush. The policies of these people give tacit approval for their minions to ACT the way they do.. I was a sailor. My men would NEVER have behaved the way George Bush's troops did IF they DIDN'T have "permission" from the top.

    If somebody gets shot at a Sharron Angle rally, I'll blame HER too. She believes that if you don't get your way, SHOOT. Certainly, her supporters do too.

    Califdadof3 I copied this from cbsnews (it was the first link that came up)
    The woman, Lauren Valle, is affiliated with the liberal group MoveOn.org. As the Louisville Courier Journal reports, she said later she was trying to give Paul a satiric award from "RepubliCorp," which was meant to sarcastically thank Paul for merging political speech and the interests of big business. She was trying to get her picture taken with him while presenting the award.

    I saw that too when I followed up on it. To me that's a dangerous thing to be doing. When your wearing a wig and trying to be saterical at a function such as that. People get nervous when they are focused on by strangers.

    Doesn't justify it Im just saying.

    Hello again, dad:

    It's true. Political action IS dangerous. Shortly after I returned from Vietnam, and was still very much a supporter of that war, I went to an anti war march - NOT to march, but to see just who those hippies were. I wore my uniform, and was standing on the curb when the riot broke out. Didn't matter to the cops. They STILL beat me with their night sticks...

    Not long after, I gave up my support for that war.

    Im sorry you had to go through that. Many veterans from that war weren't treated as they should have been.

    On a side not: If you were attending a rally for someone you support and a person comes rushing from the crowd towards your candidate. I think alarms would start going off in your head.

    Liberals try to change the topic when they are caught... like the arrest of the Obama protestor who very much UNLIKE this nutcase woman at the Rand Paul event... was doing nothing threatening.
    And unlike the typical lies the left wing media contantly spews with Democrat Propaganda... the video shows nobody ever stepped on her head... Not even her neck... the video clearly shows the shoulder after she rushed a Political Candidtate in disguise... but the Democrats don't care about facts when they can just lie and despite video evidence of the contrary.. will believe like sheeple just what they are told to believe by their handlers.

    I'm sorry you don't pay more attention... It COULD be a good discussion if you did. The facts are, that tom, Steve and I relate with each other totally DIFFERENT than you and I do. The difference is OBVIOUS, but NOT to you. I can't teach you how to argue here. I've tried. It doesn't work. You just don't know how to do it, and you're not willing to learn.

    I know that WHATEVER I say here, you're going to HEAR something different... But, let me ask you this? Do you notice that when you and I get into things, tom and Steve DON'T come to your rescue?? Do you wonder WHY?? I don't. Do you wonder WHY the arguments I have with tom and Steve DON'T devolve into these shouting matches?? I don't.

    It's because we do it substantially DIFFERENT than you and I do, and you're unable to see the distinction. I don't know why. It's been pointed out to you time and time again, but you don't/cant get it. Bummer. No, really. It's a BUMMER, because I LOVE to argue, and I can't with you.

    I don't questions someone's stated credentials for starters .
    I have no reason to think Ex did not serve the country and have no reason to dispute his contention that he holds security clearance. I know of people who kept them well after their military service was through . So that part was a pretty pointless exchange.

    I'll just say that after a certain point there is a futility in engaging in debates that devolve into endless regurgitation of things previously stated ,and personal comments against the opponent in the exchange. I generally bow out at that point and leave the counterpoint unchallenged . Anyone reading the exchange should be able to divine why .

    Here is what I think is funny Tom makes a big deal about two guys (I believe Thugs was the word he used) one with a baton who harmed no at a polling location. But when a tea bagger stomps on a lady's shoulder THEN head (and YES his foot was on her head watch the video again tea bagger smooth) it was passion's running high. Who are the real Thugs here!
  • Oct 27, 2010, 05:57 AM

    Spit . I think I made the distinction in my Bobby Kennedy comment .

    In the case of the NBP thugs ,they were intimidating voters going into a polling place. (and here I thought voters rights were a liberal cause )

    In the Rand Paul case ,the women was approaching the candidate looking for a reaction I believe that is similar to what transpired . I found out the "teabagger" was in some way associated with the Paul campaign and had reacted to what he thought was a security risk. He went way over the line with the stomp ,and if you read my earlier comments on this op ,I made it very clear that I though he should be charged .

    Now let's go back to the example I gave of the Phillies and Eagles games. What do you suppose happens to a fan ,who runs out onto the field of play ,by the security personel ? It isn't pretty .They generally do their theraputic massaging where no cell phones are present .

    I am not asking Tom and Steve to come to my aid... nor do I care if they do or not... its up to them.

    You have a pretty distorted view of things... you just can't stand when someone doesn't buy into your perspective.

    I have seen things first hand from a perspective NONE of you have... and many times I really can't go into why and how I do. Not because I would'n't like to... but because I can't and won't get into trouble to attempt to satisfy someone who can't see the forrest for the trees.

    The problem is YOU have two sets of standards... one you follow... and another for everyone else that doesn't agree with you. You know if YOU held your own side to the same standards you expect my side to meet... you would find far less issues exist.
