Conservatives Tout New Video Of Kentucky Stomping-Say Proves Assault on Paul

[RamboLiberal]

Conservatives are pushing new video of Monday's stomping incident in Kentucky, which they say proves MoveOn.org's Lauren Valle was trying to "assault" Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul before Paul volunteers wrestled her to the ground and Paul's Bourbon County coordinator Tim Profitt stepped on her head.

"As the video clearly demonstrates, Valle was there to do more than simply 'hold a sign,'" a RedState blogger who posted the new video today wrote. "Paul supporters were not reacting to a mere dislike of her message."

The blogger writes that "none of that is any excuse, nor even mitigating circumstances, when it comes to Profitt stomping on Valle's head," but says the tape shows that any notion that Valle was "the victim of an angry mob who simply 'didn't like her message'" is "demonstrably false."

What do we learn from the new video? Not a lot. It depicts the chaotic clash of supporters outside the Senate debate in Lexington that preceded the stomping, just as all witness accounts and Valle's own recounting have said. Conservatives touting the video say it shows Valle "attempting to assault" Paul but it also appears she was getting pushed from behind.

1. Paul was in the car. He didn't even see Valle. She tried to hold her sign so Paul could see it.

They pushed and grabbed her, threw her to the ground and stomped on her head for holding a very dangerous sign next to Paul's car window.

2. The video speaks for itself

They can try making all the excuses they want.

And the following photos are what I've been posting in every single OP about this subject. This is what the teabaggers want back when they say they want their country back

Teabaggers really are fucking idiots.

7. This is absurd.

Yes it appears she tried to approach Rand Paul and in fact if you watch closely after she was attacked on the side of the SUV she ran around to the front of the SUV to try again.

However, I find it ludicrous to assert she was trying to attack Paul while she was tackled by two large bully boys who held her pinned on the ground. Certainly she was already subdued when some thug stomped on her back.

Now I've heard all sorts of lies explaining the Rand organizations behavior. Rand claiming they were ONLY jockeying around. Other oganizers claiming they warned the police about her even though she had done nothing wrong when they did. Profitt claimed the reason he stomped her was a bad back. All I can say is you have to be a world class dolt to believe such crap.
