Baggers are now showing a 'before' video that they say justifies the head stomping

[Taverner]

This is re: the Rand Paul head stomping

I watched it and I don't recall her stomping his head, so I still don't think its justified

1. Why would they let facts confuse their pointy little heads?

[ClassWarrior]

2. Once again, "the party of responsibility" tries to use the "Johnny did it too" defense.

And fails.

NGU.

3. They are showing a video from August of 09?

I don't get it...

[Taverner]

5. Oops wrong video

I get my teabagger 'evidence' mixed up sometimes

[walldude]

4. There is no justification for a man beating a woman

unless their life is in danger, and this woman had no weapon and she was on the ground when he stomped her. The justification "defense" is a joke, and only a pathetic asshole would think that there is some justification for what happened.

14. There is no justification for a person beating a person.

Fixed

6. heard one RW talker saying she rushed Rand Paul's vehicle

as if she were some sort of threat to him, so the onlookers were justified in using any means necessary (or unnecessary) to subdue her. This video doesn't seem to show anything like that.

And of course, Jack Ruby was justified in taking out Oswald. :sarcasm:

7. This video is from Aug '09

?

Fight at Russ Carnahan Town Hall Event - Raw Video (8/6/09)

?

There is this one though apparently showing her rushing the car and putting a sign on the window or in it. Possible justification for pulling her back from the car and even taking her down to the ground, but the head stomper Profitt crossed the line IMHO.

9. It's the wrong video

Sorry - I'm looking for the Truck rush one

11. The post above has it. Ridiculously overly edited it is, too. nt

[Taverner]

12. To be expected from the Right wing hate and lies machine

[blondeatlast]

8. Oh, NOES! A tiny woman with a sign approached a Chevy Blazer? RUN FOR THE HILLS!

Good Gawd, how can a person function in that sort of perpetual delusion? It seems painful to me.

[Taverner]

10. Exactly. eom

13. That video shows nothing like what they claim it does.

She's standing there, just like all the Rand Paul fans, and she appears to lean towards the car window, clearly to make a comment-- just as others had done. There was nothing threatening at all in her behavior, and it certainly doesn't show her "rushing" the vehicle. The only person running is one of Paul's goons. And even if she *had* rushed at the vehicle, that doesn't change anything. They beat her up because they had the opportunity to punch a liberal woman, and they desperately wanted to, and that's all.

It's amazing how language changes, depending on which side it is. If this had been a Republican activist at a Democratic event, it'd be called a "vicious attack", not a "dust-up", and her action prior to the beating would be an "attempt to make a comment", not a "rush on the vehicle".

15. Hell, even if she came rushing the vehicle, swinging her sign - it wouldn't make it right
