While the Kentucky Senatorial debate on Monday night was markedly more cordial than usual, a fight that broke out before the event was anything but. A female MoveOn.org activist was stomped on by a supporter of Kentucky GOP candidate Rand Paul after she attempted to approach him before his final debate with Democrat Jack Conway…
The 24-year-old woman with the liberal group, identified as Lauren Valle by local media, tripped and fell after someone ripped a blond wig off her head. She is then seen on video being wrestled to a curb by one man. After she is placed face down, another man stomps on her shoulder and head with his foot…
Police said Valle was trying to get a photo with the Tea Party favorite holding a sign that said “employee of the month award.” The satirical prize was from Republicorp, a fake business MoveOn created to symbolize what it says is a cozy relationship between corporate America and the GOP…
“She was subsequently stopped and thrown to the ground by a group of individuals who were gathered there for the debate,” police information officer Sherelle Roberts said. “It was caught on video. You can see the woman being thrown to the ground, there was a gentleman who stepped on her head…”
The man who stomped on her has not yet been identified. Police said they are searching for him…
Paul’s campaign released a statement on the melee, calling it “incredibly unfortunate.”
It’s always “unfortunate” when attacks like this are recorded.
How hard can it be to find the guy when he is in Rand Paul’s campaign ads?

Amazing how people forget and lose sight…
Rotten apples everywhere! This is not helping Rand Paul. Maybe the idiot realizes this now? After Bill Clinton has been there to help Paul’s opponent – it should outweighs the negative impact of this very unfortunate incident.
Have they located the fugitive Teabagger for attempted murder of a defenseless woman on the ground? Even in Kentucky you’re not suppose to kick a woman in the head unless it’s your wife.
Want to see this teabaggers face on America’s Most Wanted on election eve.
I believe that the stomper has been identified.
Hope they catch the guy. And by the way, why is this the only article that gets posted, and not the one of the real Ron Paul supporting women who gets her injured foot reopened when they stomped on her?
Talk about bad timing for my posts.
Totally off topic, although election related, but Bobbo, or anyone else, care to explain to me how Sandra Day OConnor is still casting votes as a federal judge? She was part of a ruling that threw out Arizona’s law on requiring proof of citizenship to vote.
Hey, where’d the other post go? Did I imagine it?
Lauren Valle taking a page out of the Saul Alinsky book of muckraking. Such bravery to take one for the team by pissing off a few crazies.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
The teabagger at work was in a tizzy because this lady came to the rally “armed” with a wig (his description). When I asked him about his fellow teabaggers showing up to rallies with assault rifles slung over their shoulders he waved that off as their god-given right (his words). I laughed at him and walked away. Some people will just continue to be too stupid for their own good.

Although the link at #45 is more informative==and the guy is not just some volunteer. He is not just a volunteer but rather a close supporter. Paul’s initial response is totally lame as well. Nuts are evil in their isolated little dream worlds. Beware.
Mike==even if a judge writes an entire decision and somehow the “issuing” or filing date comes after they leave the bench–the decision has to be reconsidered with those actually on the bench taking “credit” for it.
I assume you have something wrong in your appreciation of whatever you saw. Most likely: an earlier decision of hers when she was on the bench? Just guessing. Should be “fun” for you to figure out how it happened and to provide a link? I’ll check back for your thoughts.
I’ll be watching the woman beating Teabagger court case closely.
Assault and battery may keep him for getting a job outside his gun shop – unless he gets a blond wig and fake id of his own.
The teabaggers – rights for nobody else but people they identify with.
Yep, there are goons on both sides, what a shock!. Give it a rest.
Goon Defined: a : a man hired to terrorize or eliminate opponents
Crazy Man off the Street: a person by his own volition or interest who assaults other people.
Still no evidence of Democrap Goons.
Whatever, I’m taking the phone off the hook until this is over.
If you ever get clinically depressed, the first thing a counselor will do is cut you off from tv news. Seems infotainment can bum people out. I have to admit: It gets me down sometimes to. Thankfully, my manic highs are very close to my depressed lows. Almost the same? Ha, ha.
Don’t sweat the small stuff……etc.
#57. It’s not depression…it’s apathy.
For those of you young teabaggers and others, this is reminiscent of the good ole 30′s
Mussolini’s goons, familiarly known as FASCISTS, would round up those who dared oppose the dictator and force them to “imbibe” castor oil, the name CASTROL which is a popular brand of car oil was derived from it. It “lubricated” the intestines very well. The goons wore black shirts
Adolf Schicklegruber (better known as HITLER)’s NAZIS, would collect books,(like Christian bibles, the Marx Leninist Kommunist Manifesto) burn them and raid the stores of any Jew they could find then stomp them, like the stomping which occurred recently.
One of Hitler’s chief aides was his propagandist named HERR DOKTOR GOEBBELS, many satirized him as GOBBLING GOEBBELS.
Today we have HERR DOKTOR RAND PAUL in the same role as Hitler except one of his overobese goons was dressed in a striped black and white shirt. It took two or three to overpower one slight woman who WAS MERELY HER CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH protected by the First Amendment
DOKTOR PAUL isn’t one of your main talking points the Constitution of the United States?
I love CASTROL GTX….It’s the only oil I put in my motorcycle.
And yes, I agree that Rand Paul is the reincarnation of HITLER. So, he must be murdered, the sooner the better. Perhaps you would like the job. After all….who wouldn’t kill Hitler when or if they had the chance?
