Then that rabbit hole goes deep, as the stomper was Tim Profitt, the former Rand Paul campaign coordinator for Bourbon County.

Quit being nutzoids.

I remember a SEIU fella bighting the finger from a Obamacre protester. Where was the outrage?

When inbred yahoos stop physically assaulting people with differing political opinions.

I can't be outraged when a guy gets his finger bitten off in a fight that he started when he threw a punch at someone.

"Teabaggers" and "stomp."

I try pretty hard in my posts not to hurl epithets. Generalization is also often not a good idea. There is exactly zero pattern of violence here. There are assaults in virtually every large gathering of people. Last time there was a concert someplace, do you think the police or security had any incidents? Sure, they probably had a bunch.

How many "incidents" per 1000 people is normal/typical in any gathering?

How many in political rallies?

Do Tea Party rallies have more than average, or fewer than the average number of incidents?

Basing a POV on anecdote is pretty normal in the US, I'll admit. It's not terribly rigorous, however.

Bad incident, press charges. When you can demonstrate a statistically significant increase in such incidents as a function of politics, by all means, post away.

Tim Proffit, the man shown stepping on the woman's head in the video of the event and interviewed in the news report I linked to, is (or, one hopes, was) a county coordinator for the Paul campaign who has met and been pictured with the candidate and been interviewed while working other campaign events. His name was featured as one of Paul's supposedly prominent supporters in a campaign ad touting endorsements from "Central Kentuckians For Rand Paul" that just ran in the Lexington Herald-Leader.

So I'd say that the likelihood of him being a liberal "plant" put in place to embarrass the campaign at this event is essentially nil.

When people defend this kind of behavior by saying she had it coming because she worked for moveon or that it's all a big dadgum librul conspiracy, that's what seals the deal on looking crazy.

Agreed, looks like they overreacted, and assaulted her. She should press charges, IMO. Still, an isolated incident.

Note that had someone approached a candidate under Secret Service protection with a package... bottom line, is trying to "ambush" a candidate, even with a joke-like presentation is probably a pretty bad idea.

Arguably as dumb as taking weapons to a crowded rally—even if both activities are perfectly legal.

I am so sick of hearing about injustice and inequality, it's a major selling point of the Left, they exploit the less fortunate and un or undereducated, disgusting.Guess what, everyone is not equal when it comes to $, just how it is.The individual's job is to do their best to make it, not whine or expect others to pick up their slack.

Ever read huffpo or kos?

They routinely wish death on conservatives in comments. They have taken to turning off comments on news stories about a congress critter with cancer if he's an R, for example, cause of all the crazy death-wishing, and "I hope he suffers" nonsense.

Or the fact that BO's campaign website was filled with bloggers (they offered blogging space) that advocated for terrorism, etc (only pulled when pointed out by other blogs). (no, I'm not saying BO endorsed this, just that given the free opportunity, some pro-Obama nuts posted their insanity there)

There are crazies in every group.

She didn't "have it coming," no one does. That said, she was certainly engaging in a possibly dangerous activity. She could certainly expect she might be hassled contrary to her rights, just as the guy with the gun might have been hassled (heck, SHOT) by the cops overreacting—in spite of any legal rights he had.

What would a scab with an anti-union message expect showing up to a union rally? Hugs?

Would his abuse be legal? No. Should he have thought it to be likely before he headed there? Hell, yeah.

Not excusing it, they should be charged, but it doesn't surprise me.

On the whole stomping incident...

watch the video again, she was trying to shove her sign into Rand Paul's vehicle at the begining unless that was edited it out, I just saw it earlier on tv.Although this goober was not security he felt his candidate was in danger, so along with others they took her down, which was absolutely justified(women can do harm to candidates also, remember the wacko who tried to shoot Gerald Ford?) Now this idiot shouldnt have put his foot on her but he didnt "stomp" her, that is a gross overstatement.Looked more like he was watching out while using his foot to hold her down, should not have done it but lets not go overboard as the Left wing media is trying to do.Look up this moonbat's interview with Keith Olberman(disgusting individual that he is) from last night, she is off her rocker yet they are trying portray everyone else as so.

Bottom line, the Left knows they are losing and most of the citizens have finally realized how dangerous and just WRONG Left wing ideology and policies are, so they are acting like babies, getting desperate etc, kind of fun to watch but highly annoying.Six days....

Bull.

YOU DON'T TACKLE AND STOMP/STEP ON/TICKLE WITH YOUR FOOT OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE WITH THEIR POLITICS.

What's scary is that there's people like you who believe this sort of thing is justified.

What part is bull? The part where she tried to assault Rand Paul or the part where she was assaulted herself?

The part where people try to make this yahoo thug out to be a hero like he jumped in front of a bullet. No one was in any danger.

yeah, well thats all wonderful except you forgot the part where they stomped on her head. She was already restrained on the ground. If their goal was to be "good citizens" and restrain here they would have stopped at the part where 2 guys were on top of her holding her down. This was just violence.
