Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – Land Of Confusion edition
Morning, all!
I’m running out of things to call random collections of Freeper drivel, but random seems to be the natural order of things in Freepistan. Let’s suit up and make sure all fittings and hoses are tight , because the first terrible tidbit really smells – I call it –Reeking havoc!
Ron Paul supporters arrested as La GOP Shreveport convention splits in two

Chaos erupted in Shreveport today as police officers arrested state GOP delegates who support Ron Paul for the party’s 2012 presidential nomination.
The dispute arose after the state party’s central committee issued “supplemental rules” earlier this week concerning the delegate selection process. A press release from the Ron Paul campaign this afternoon referred to the 11th hour changes as “illegal rules.”
After fights in the Rules Committee Friday, state party chairman opened the convention moving to pass the new rules, when the majority of delegates moved to elect a new convention chair. When Villere refused to yield the dais, the majority elected a new chair and turned their chairs. As this was happening, the Villere faction convinced the Shreveport Police Department to arrest some of the Paul delegates holding microphones for “trespassing.”
During the forcible arrests, Shreveport police dislocated the hip of the gentlemen in the video here, identified by the Paul campaign as State Central Commiteeman Henry Herford Jr. of Franklin Parish.

**********************************
Louisiana politics!Henry Herford Jr. was elected by an overwhelming majority as new convention chair. Mr. Villere, who had appointed himself the convention chairman, refused to yield. When delegates began turning their chairs around, Mr. Herford rose to call the convention to order. Mr. Villere then convinces police to forceably remove Mr. Herford, who is injured and sent to the hospital! Video at source.(My first post. Member since 2004!)
To: CasieGood post. Angry white people with bad hips getting dumped by shave head LEOs. Sad what passes for “politics” these days.
To: Tainanyou have a problem with white people?
To: Casiethese were radical far left paul nutters trying to take over the LA GOP and the GOP fought back.
The paul nutters are not used to that.
they have gotten away with pauhing around the meek old people and seized power !they want to reek chaos at the gop convention by taking over gop delegates !
To: Bogey78OBS
the radical PAUL crazies trying go seize power and got nailed !
you paul nutters think your going to destroy the gop convention.

To: ncalburtThey followed the rules, so the entrenched powers changed the rules and resorted to violence.
Nice friends you have there…

These stupid F’ers in the GOP need a serious ass kicking.
To: myself6> I WILL work AGAINST him and the GOP-e and do EVERYTHING i possibly can to make sure that the GOP-e NEVER gets their socialist elected president.
Working hard to elect Obama are we?
While I admire your anti socialist bent, you sound like a far left liberal nut!
Even for a Freeper, that’s a pretty impressive feat of mental gymnastics.
Sooner or later, they’re going to have to write an addendum to DSM IV just to cover these guys.
Your post reads like it was lifted from the DU – Go Obama!

The Ron Paul camp won their delegates fair and square. The LA GOP needs to ask itself why. Not ignore the results because the current leadership wants a different result.Throwing out legit results is not conservative.
I beg to differ.
To: Bogey78Olisten Paul bot Obama LEFTIST
Paul got CRUSHED here in the primary.Your NOT getting away with you far left radical DELEGATES games in LA.
la IS NOT GOING TO BE A PARTY TO YOUR FASR LEFT CHAOS YOUR PLANNING
You misspelled “reeking”.
IN TAMPA.
YOU GOT SMACKED DOWN LEFTY.
So go back to try another left wing delegates scams elsewhere.
To: ncalburt1. Rules Chairman loses election
2. The next day, the State Party Chairman proclaims that old Rules Chairman back in to his position
3. The new Rules Chairman(elected by Paul supporters) objects, State Chairman orders him removed from the floor by police
4. Paul supporters make motion to elect new Party Chairman, succeed in voting in their guy
5. Old State Chairman refuses to leave position
6. Paul supporters turn around seats, begin their own convention
7. Old State Chairman orders police to remove Paul supporters and their elected ChairmanI really don’t see how Paul supporters were “disrupting” the convention, unless showing up and voting in person(where the ballots can’t be fixed) is disruptive.
This isn’t going to work out well for anyone.

To: Dead CorpseObama left wing troll posing as a Paul supporter .Like a good Radical leftist your COMRADES trying to seize control of the LA GOP delegates behind closed doors.
THE real LA GOP voters hate Ron Paul and gave him NO support.
He came in Last here in the primary because we are a CLOSED primary so leftists like you can not VOTE ! So like a Good Obam lefty you don’t care about the voters you seize power from within ! THanks for verifying who and what you radical Paul bots are all about.36 posted on Tuesday, June 05, 2012 8:13:08 AM by ncalburt (NO MORE WIMPS need to apply to fight the Soros Funded Puppet !H)To: ncalburtBut you have to agree that Villere and friends can’t simply ignore elected chairmen they do not like and then use excessive police force to enforce their will.It makes Romney supporters look like strong-arm elite Rhino thugs and further fractures the party. It makes Paul’s people look like champions of conservatism fighting the old Republican establishement.
I want to also mention that after the chaos of the convention, one the Ron Paul people (I can’t remember her name) called the Moon Griffon radio show to say they came to the convention in the spirit of reconciliation and the intention of conceding some seats to Romney supporters.
