The whole Lauren Valle getting stomped by a Paultard story gets weirder by the moment. The video clip I saw Tuesday night on MSNBC showed the blows (kicks?) landing harder than I previously thought. Holy concussion, Batman.
The stomper, Tim Profitt, was a Paul campaign lackey and Ms. Valle has asserted that the Paultards knew who she was. I believe her.What I don’t believe is the stomper’s ridiculous explanation for why he assaulted Ms. Valle: back pain. Talk about preposterous piffle. I have a bad back but it’s never led me to stomp anyone; especially not a woman wearing glasses and a wig. I wonder if Profitt’s next lame excuse is that he has a pathological fear of blond wigs, which caused him to commence stomping.He could call it Kim Zolciak syndrome. Fuck you, Mr. Profitt, you’re a shitbag who assaulted someone and is now trying to lie your way out of it.
This is the second time in a week that teanut goon squads have roughed someone up. This episode was particularly egregious as it involved Ms. Valle being tackled and then stomped on. The teabaggers, of course, are blaming the victim. Rand Paul’s statements have been ludicrous in attempting to blame this assault on “political passion.” Fuck you, Rand and the horse you rode in on.Someone should send this malaka dead flowers…
Rand Paul is the scariest of this year’s crop of tea party extremists. Why? He’s smart and a genuine zealot with an overweening sense of entitlement. Watching him smirk his way through the campaign has sent chills up and down my spine. I’ve come to realize that he’s George W Bush with a brain: a frat boy who reads Ayn Rand is just as dangerous as one who doesn’t read at all. The analogy is perfected when I contemplate their fathers: both Poppy Bush and Ron Paul are wrong on many issues but not terrible human beings. Their sons on the other hand…
For the last two years, we’ve had to endure the Right’s overwrought and factually impaired comparisons of Obama to Hitler. I hate Nazi analogies and *almost* never make them but the spectacle of two teabaggers assaulting a young woman outside a debate makes this an exception to that rule. The teabaggers are usually more into *threats* of violence but there’s a wildness in the air this cycle that makes me want to pass out brownshirts to Rand Paul and Joe Miller’s teathugs. Btw, Rand’s brownshirt is size extra smug…
This is America: debating, heckling, hollering and picketing one’s opponents is how the game is played during a campaign. Then, on election day we try to beat the shit out of the opposition at the polls and accept the election results even when they’re not to our liking. We do not settle our political disputes with street violence and veiled hint abouts “Second amendment solutions.” The so-called “constitutionalists” of the GOP are out to destroy everything that decent Americans hold dear. President Obama has disappointed many of us who supported him in 2008 BUT he tries to do the right thing for the country. His most extreme opponents don’t care about what’s good for the America they claim to love; all they care about is their scary brownshirty ideology. Fuck them and fuck Ayn Rand too.Atlas Shrugged, my ass.
