Editorial in Lexington Herald/Leader about curbstomping

[era veteran]

Spoiler, here is the end of it.
Some members of Paul's Tea Party issue paranoid warnings that President Barack Obama and Democrats are totalitarians out to impose Marxist control over our country.
But look which side produced the goon squad.

[SpiralHawk]

2. Look who produced the Goon Squad: Spawn of the RepubliCorp (R)

[CanonRay]

3. Good for that paper

About time somebody called them out.

[young_at_heart]

4. Wanting an apology from the victim---ultimate goon!

Rand Paul and his group seem like medieval bullies trying to frighten people, and that's all they've got.

[TheKentuckian]

5. Good for the Lexington fish rap for a change but many of the comments are of course

appalling.

I'm increasingly convinced that liberals must either fight back head on or lie down in the dust and die as we are stomped by the brown shirt mob.

[bluerum]

8. Agreed.

And armed.

15. Thanks, 17 Tims in the LFUCG Jail but not the right one.

Why not I wonder.

[DirkGently]

6. Classic authoritarianism. "We only did it because they were about to do it to us. Uh. We claim."

[City Lights]

7. R&K!

These brownshirt thugs need maximum exposure!

[Barack_America]

10. The Paulite rebuttal seems to be "a Paul supporter got her foot stepped on".

Um, okay.

I'm wondering if that woman got forced to the ground and held down while someone stomped on her foot? Yeah, didn't think so.

Also, be sure to rec the editorial.

[Celtic Raven]

17. Also, be sure to rec the editorial.

Thanks for pointing that out. I missed that the first time & only rec'd some of the comments. Went back & rec'd the editorial just now.

[brentspeak]

11. Self-styled "Tea Party" outraged/frightened of citizen in costume engaging in political theater

Further, one of the thugs who grabbed Ms. Valle was wearing a "We The People" baseball cap.

Got to hand it to the Tea Baggers: the irony of their stupidity is consistent.

[Raksha]

13. K & R

[county worker]

14. I can't come to terms with the complete lack of facts that these teabaggers have.

Does the guy in this reply care about a woman being stomped on by a man twice her size?

No, here is what he says, "You Democrats are ruining our nation. You are bankrupting us, kowtowing to tyrants, alienating our allies, trying to take over our energy sector, imposing abusive mandates on private business."





Regurgitating Beck talking points is all they can do.

[Michigan-Arizona]

16. I think that post aggravated me the most

Where the freaking hell were they for the son of an idiots 8 year unelected term, when he was trashing this country! You are so right he or none of them care about what has happened to this woman. They are just so stupid beyond word's.

18. Rand Paul Ad

The back of the front page section of the Herald/Leader is a Rand Paul adv. A Mr. Tim Proffit of Bourbon Co. is listed prominently, bottom left. ...... You can't make this shit up!!! .. 26 October'10

[lunatica]

19. I've been posting this photo in every OP about Profitt and his ilk

He and his fellow teabaggers are exactly the kind of people who would do this

[era veteran]

20. Sad but true

[walldude]

21. Great editorial. Love how he shoots down the

"both sides do it" meme that Paul is using to justify this. K&R
