" A volunteer with Rand Paul's Senate campaign has admitted to <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbnEy_U9pYk&feature=player_embedded>

placing his shoe firmly on the face of a MoveOn.org volunteer outside a Senate debate on Monday night, but insisted that the camera angle of the footage that captured the altercation made the scuffle look worse than it was.

Tim Profitt apologized for the incident in a statement sent to a local AP reporter. But he also criticized the police for not stepping in to calm down the crowd and argued that other supporters had previously warned authorities about the MoveOn activist, Lauren Valle.



Profitt is not, it appears, a random campaign volunteer. Almost immediately after admitting his role, a picture of him and Paul surfaced.


The local blog Barefoot and Progressive also noted that the Paul campaign once touted Profitt's endorsement in a newspaper ad.

A spokesman for the Lexington Police Department said on Tuesday afternoon that "Mr. Profitt is currently being served with a criminal summons ordering him to appear before a Fayette County District Court Judge."

3. What utter shit........

"...insisted that the camera angle of the footage that captured the altercation made the scuffle look worse than it was."

- So, your foot pressing down on Ms. Valle's head hard and forceful enough to send her to the hospital with a concussion and bruises wasn't worse than it looked?

"But he also criticized the police for not stepping in to calm down the crowd..."

- So, its the police's fault you participated in an assault on a protester. Nice try, asshole.

Where are the assault charges? Aren't we a nation of laws?!?

5. Another site says he is a Rand Paul Coordinator. Stomping stepping think about it.

Interesting how the words are used.

He's more or less saying it wasn't a stomp - says it was the camera angle that made it look worse than it was.

Then he says he blames the police for not STEPPING in.

Who stepped and stomped in full regalia and precision? The Nazis were famous for it.

It's normal for the military.

So many varieties of people want and have wanted to governn and own us. All in various degrees of determination and violence.

Everyone is using the word stomping. There should be a slightly different word for what he did. He placed his foot on her neck and shoulder and them put his weight on her through the foot. Everyone is saying he stomped on her face. Either way, they are both potentially life threatening actions. How much of his body weight did he apply - he should get a year for each pound.

My God, do they hate. They have chosed a violently kinetic method of communication.

What Moses or Jesus should have said in plainer language: Don't use violence on your brothers and sisters. Don't try to own and rule them and make them subservient or submissive to you.

I like what the Catholic Church USED TO teach. The body is the temple of Christ. Not in the U.S.

So let's have the record on this female - what did she do to deserve this? Has she used violence?

8. He "confronted" her head with his foot.

I hope the send him to jail for a few months so he can be "confronted" in the shower.
