While the stomping was idiotic...she got thrown down because she decided to try and approach a candidate and hand him something...while in disguise.Both actions were dumb (the stomp and what she was doing).
 
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that there were some pertinent events leading up to the wrestling match and subsequent stomping that we didn't get to see.

So what? We don't know who did it, only that he was identified as a "Rand Paul supporter." Not a member of the campaign.When Rand Paul stomps on somebody, get back to me. Or at least make it one of his staff.

Wearing a disguise and trying to hand a canidate something....she got what she asked for. It did not look like a stomp at all, it looked like they were trying to control the perp with their feet.

Even if there was, having someone stomp on a person while they are down and defenseless isn't something to celebrate or laugh at. What the hell happened to morals and ethics with you people?If anyone has a real version that shows any before (and after) that would be good to see exactly what was going on, but it would be hard to defend that one guy's actions as anything but a cowardly move, no matter which side you agree with politically.

I see what you're saying, but it wasn't really much of a 'stomp'. I was expecting something out of American History X and what I got was something more like pillow fighting.
 
The chick who got stomped is going to be on Olbermann tonight. What a surprise.

Edit: Yes, I know that if a GOP protestor got curb-stomped by a Harry Reid supporter, she'd be booked on Hannity for later that evening.

I am pretty sure the first question Olberman will ask is "Why on earth were you wearing a disguise?"

Can we agree that the guy who did it is most likely a big doosh?

Without question.

Yes. I have a near complete distrust for people that attend political rallies/speeches/appearances etc.

I hate to agree, but I sort of do. I always assume people with Gadsden Flag T-shirts are dangerous and unstable.

Maybe it was just a bunch of people disguised as Rand Paul supporters trying to make Rand Paul supporters look bad.

 
I have been at a bunch of events before, the previous debate, and the Rand Paul campaign knows me and they have expressed their distaste for my work before. What happened last night was that about five minutes before Rand Paul's car arrived they identified me and my partner, Alex, who was with me. They surrounded me. There was five of them. They motioned to each other and got behind me. My partner Alex heard them say 'We are here to do crowd control we might have to take someone out.'

Yeah. See. She's just looking for a fight.Edit: Again. That in no way excuses what dbag guy did.

Seems to me like this gal was going out of her way to pick a fight. I don't see that in the M.O. of the two giants you are citing.Edit after your edit: :shrug:

Countdown until Olbermann or one of his "ilk" (yeah, I went there) uses the Orwell quote:

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face -- forever."

to categorize the right as the proverbial "jackboot thugs"...

I can't wait for this election to be over so we can return to the normal levels of civility and decorum that we've come accustomed to. :lmao:

 
Meet the Gun-Toting Tea Partier Who Beat Up a Woman at Rand Paul's Debate

Meet the Gun-Toting Tea Partier Who Beat Up a Woman at Rand Paul's Debate

Last night, video emerged of a Rand Paul supporter wrestling a female protester to the ground and treading on her face. Today, gun advocate Mike Pezzano was outed as one of those men. Who revealed his identity? Other Tea Partiers.

Meet Mike Pezzano, Rand Paul supporter and advocate for open carry gun laws. He's the guy in plaid who pins liberal protester Lauren Valle to the ground in this video. Update: The stomper has been identified. Read about him here.

Kentucky Tea Partier and blogger Lisa Graas figured out Pezzano's identity by comparing still images from the Rand Paul brawl with photographs from other Tea Party events. Here are the images from last night's event:

Yes, the man who held a woman down so another man could step on her face was wearing a "Don't Tread On Me" pin. He was also wearing the same "We the People" hat that he wore at another Tea Party event—one where he also wore a name tag.

The nametag is how Graas figured out Pezzano's name. Our research suggests there is only one Mike Pezzano in Kentucky: A Lexington Rand Paul Meetup member who is an "assistant organizer" for Kentucky Open Carry, a group that wants to make it legal to carry firearms openly and in public. Obviously, that is exactly what a grown man who wrestles tiny, peaceful females to the ground—and holds them down while other grown men stomp on their faces—needs: a gun on his belt.

Mike Pezzano did not respond to our requests for comment.

Interestingly, Laura Graas—who first identified Pezzano—is a self-professed Tea Partier, the embattled founder of the Palin Twitter "Twibe." (She quit the Twibe when Palin endorsed Rand Paul: "I've been sending almost daily communications to SarahPAC telling them about this race and begging them to call me. No one has called," she explained.)

Upset by the violent video from Rand Paul's debate, Graas used her connections with other Tea Party bloggers to sift through photos and identify Pezzano. By email, Graas elaborated on her politics:

Yes, I am a Republican. I prefer to be identified as a Lincoln Republican. I support the Fourteenth Amendment as a pro-life voter whereas Rand Paul does not. [...] I supported the Tea Party candidate Bill Johnson, whom you may have never heard of thanks to big media. [...] They're thugs. Everyone knows it but no one will go public because the Campaign for Liberty is just too scary and powerful. He isn't "the Tea Party candidate". Never was. He astroturfed Kentucky like an SEIU thug.

...and her fear of a vast Rand Paulian conspiracy:

I admit, I am scared. I'm afraid to talk to you..........but so are a lot of other people and somebody has to have a spine. [...] Rand Paul isn't going to do anything to me,.........but his supporters might. I'm afraid of them. Over at Liberty Forest, during the primary, there were calls for volunteers to "crush" me. They still despise me. They smear me around the internet.

Uh, okay. Graas' sleuthing on Pezzano's identity seems to hold up, but I think we all learned a valuable lesson today: No Kentucky Tea Partier (Lincoln Republican or otherwise) should be allowed to carry a firearm openly, ever.
