I don't disagree and I think that the Paul supporter that asaulted this MoveOn.org activist should be prosecuted, however I still maintain that this is exactly the type of reaction this activist was hoping to elicit. Maybe a bit more extreme then she planned on but welcome none the less. Since I refuse to give MoveOn.org a hit and don't want their cookies leftying up my cache I have to wonder how hard one would have to look on their website to find some mention of this.

I have a very strong feeling that I you or I put on a bushy beard and went to an Obama rally to try to present him with the Karl Marx Man of the Year Award we would find out just how true this is.

 

:lol: :lol:

You would get more than a boot on the back. Plus all of your media attention on how you are a bigot, racist, and a T-bagger that thinks Obama was not born in the USA.

Actually if you look closely, to me it looks as if the other guy has let her loose before the perpetrator pushes her with his foot (then again, I may need my glasses adjusted). But even if my eyes are correct, there was no need for him to step on her at all. She wasn't attempting to get up. Actually there was no need to push her to the ground to begin with. Folks I'm continuing to state that what the guy did was wrong. Is there any possibility that any one out there could think that it's possible that the lady may have staged this stunt to get the achieved result and that for her to have done so is wrong? Any one?[/QUOTE]

 

Absolutely, although I don't think the stomping was part of the plan. I believe she wanted to play "gotcha" politics with Paul and provoke a response. That to me is wrong on her part but unfortunately is part of the political landscape these days. The moron who stomped her deserves all he gets.

I read earlier that this will likely not be prosecuted as assault. So, he may not get what he deserves.

That stinks.

A hypothetical. Until one of us mans up and does it instead of simply musing about it, I guess we'll never know.

I think you speak for just about all of us.:thumb:

So, did the debate itself swing any undecideds? I'm guessing that the great majority of us who take the time to participate in a political discussion in this type of venue already have decided. Did either candidate hit a home run?

Going in I was leaning Conway. Now, I'm not so sure. Is it bad if I abstain from voting in this particular race?

After watching the video of the Paul supporteris actions I'm Glad that I have voted for Conway .

I wish we could set up mock elections on BGP and then compare them to the actual results.

Why does someone who is from out of state, who has been arrested in China protesting Tibet, arrested in Louisiana over the oil spill, come to KY?

Gotta vote. Even if it's a write in for Donald Duck.

 

Not everyone agrees with me, but I've always thought that a person doesn't have much room to complain if they don't vote in the first place.

I don't agree with you often but here I'm with you 100%.

To stir up controversy and get her "message" out? To cause a ruckus and hopefully get media attention? Sounds like she accomplished just that.
