Well, we know now a bit more about the twit who rushed Senate Nominee Rand Paul in Kentucky the other night. Thanks to Robert Stacey McCain, it's clear that Lauren Valle is a professional liberal protester who was literally paid to go to Kentucky in a plan to draw attention to herself and embarrass the Paul campaign.
Mission accomplished.
Valle, an employee of Moveon.org, has a lengthy record of political activism attention-whoring. For this gig, she was given a "costume," complete with wig, and a prop sign. When Paul showed up at the debate, she broke through the crowd and rushed him, hoping to present him with the sign and get an embarrassing picture of him with said sign.
Paul's supporters saw her and suspected trouble, so they told the police -- who said that keeping her from making a spectacle disturbance wasn't their business.
Since the police weren't interested, the Paul people chose to stop her themselves.
I can't blame them -- Squeaky Fromme, John Hinckley, and Arthur Bremer all blended in with crowds before making their moves.
In the process, Ms. Valle was knocked to the ground, de-wigged (not that she needed any help in wigging out), and one guy decided to not risk Moonbat Cooties by putting his foot on her shoulder and pressing her flatter to the pavement. Before he could complete the Rachel Corrie Tribute, though, another Paul supporter told him to knock it off.
Well, Ms. Valle didn't get her embarrassing picture of Paul. Instead, she herself became the story -- the brave political activist head-stomped by the Paul bullies.
Except that she was doing it for the paycheck, wasn't stomped, only one guy did the non-stomping, and the rest of the Paul bullies called him off.
No matter. She still got the big story off of whatever Paul might have wanted it to be.
A story like this needs a musical tribute. Fortunately, one of my favorite musicians came up with the perfect song a couple of years ago, and some other very clever people put together a video for him.

I don't support the Tea Party at all, and frankly with the racism and Bible-thumping they've shown in the past, I wouldn't put it past them to stomp on someone just for disagreeing with them. And the interviews since the incident have proven to me that Teabaggers are idiots: First of all, I defended them: I said "of COURSE they have to tackle someone who is rushing after their candidate in a wig. it could have been a man with a knife or a gun! She's lucky she didn't get shot!" But then the spokespeople for the Tea Party -- instead of taking that "we didn't know and were only trying to protect him" stance -- started saying that they KNEW who she was and were just tired of putting up with her crap?? So they resorted to violence. Fricking idiots. There is NO EXCUSE for what they did if they knew who she was, and they themselves are admitting that they knew. Morons. Thank goodness they are such obvious morons, though.

Rand Paul shouldn't be blamed for this tough-guy, stomping on a girl. I heard on Fox that Rand's campaign cut all ties with this "volunteer."
If Rand takes after his father, he'll be OK.
Joe Miller, on the other hand, is a real thug, hiring these SS-wannabes to arrest reporters:

No, Pamela, no matter what they SAID, they didn't KNOW she wasn't armed. They might have been virtually certain, but there's always a chance -- and you don't take chances in cases like this. You take her down. In this case, they took her down without injury to anyone.
Did they possibly enjoy it a little, knowing who and what she was? Quite possibly. I would have.
But their actions were entirely justified, and only the professional pain in the ass Valle bears any responsibility for this whole stupid mess.

Great - she's a professional political stunt woman. I'm getting tired of staged garbage like this. She's lucky she didn't get her head cracked on the curb.
Pamela's a bit right, and a lot wrong. These days ANYONE rushing at a candidate has to be viewed with suspicion - even (or perhaps especially) if they're known to be a pro agitator. How long will it be before someone unhinged does a Squeaky Fromm reenactment, and the excuse is "We didn't stop her because we knew she was harmless!"?
Or some wanna-be jihadi rigs up a WORKING bomb and goes to see a potential candidate he hates? Rush in, blow up, take out the candidate and a few other people... but hey, he was holding a protest sign just last week!
Political activists of this stripe are pushing the accepted bounds of activism into potentially unsafe territory. It's one thing to wave a sign, or participate in street theater with a cooperative cast. It's another to do shit like this.
I think Garandfan's right though - it's all fun and games until someone gets taken down. They'll likely think twice next time - at least until softer concrete is developed.

JT, context is key. Drawing analogies and contrasts is often necessary in a dialogue, no?
The problem with using "security" as an excuse to stomp "professional liberal activists" or illegally arrest reporters is that there is no limit to what you can do, you can always invoke some unlikely "threat" like an assassin or even more ridiculously a suicide bomber to assault people you don't like.
Anyways, the Paul campaign announced they cut ties with this guy, so I guess they see the stomping differently than you do. Good for them. I have some hopes that Rand will take after Ron and come out as a small government anti-imperialist after he's elected.

No. The cops weren't interested because standing around and waiting to assault someone is not illegal. You cannot be arrested for waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime.
The police are great once a crime is committed. They are essentially worthless in actually preventing them with the exception of the threat of getting caught as a deterent.
Amusing. So basically your side tackles and stomps on someone for a "thought crime," because as you freely admit she hadn't done anything yet, and then you point out the left hasn't made thought crimes illegal. That's true, and we also haven't tackled and stomped on a protester either. Unlike the right.

Btw, since you're not American you wouldn't know this, but the Secret Service gets upset when anyone shows up at a Presidential event with a weapon. Walking around with around with a sub machine would definitely get their attention.

Thus the surveillance he was under at all times. However he didn't get stomped on. Because protesting is not a crime and therefore is not a valid reason to stop on someone, as the Paul supporter will no doubt find out when his wallet is made lighter from this incident.

Next, now pay attention it is key. The secret service, like the cops in the case of Lauren Valle, arrested no one. Threw no one down and STOMPED ON NO ONE. because in both cases NO ONE broke the law.
However by your logic it would have been perfectly fine for Obama supporters to throw this guy to curb stomp the hell out of him because who knows he could have been a lee Harvey Oswald. Which brings us back to right wing hypocrisy.

Also compared to what the left dealt out against conservatives in St Louis and NO earlier this year since she didn't require hospitalization or surgery I don't think it qualifies as a stomping.

To elaborate on warbaby's ignorance:
NO ONE ever showed up at an Obama event with a "submachine gun."
Submachine gun: a weapon capable of firing handgun-caliber munitions in fully automatic mode.
Assault rifle: A weapon capable of firing in fully automatic mode, burst mode, or single-shot semi-automatic mode.
Assault weapon: Politically-created definition that boils down to "scary-looking guns that are, functionally, indistinguishable from not-so-scary-looking guns."
What the black man brought was a semi-automatic AR-15 knockoff, a rifle that fires a single round with a single trigger pull. Apart from cosmetics, not that different from a .22 rifle used for hunting small game.
Someday warbaby might learn something... but until then, he's going to just keep filling up that diaper and flinging the contents around.

That's all they've got, Clay. When your best ideas have blown up in your face, when your supporters are cutting out and the money's stopped coming in, you're short on time and bleeding voters - you've got three choices.
You can participate in a groupthink Two Minute Hate against your opponents, loudly screaming your anger at just how evil, small minded and greedy they are - which won't harm them or do you any real good either physically or politically, but WILL make you feel snug and warm and righteous in your hatred of those who've screwed you over (and they must have done something, otherwise you wouldn't be in such bad political shape!).
You can paint yourself as a victim, using anything you can to try to play on the sympathies of the voters in the hopes you can get one last vote out of them.
Or you can do your damndest to steal the vote - because that's what those damn bastards on the other side would do if you didn't do it first!
So now we're seeing quite a bit from column A, some from column B, and a lot from column C. The mix isn't palatable to the majority of voters, and not likely to win raves from the folks who were nominally Democrats until this election.
They're burning a hell of a lot of goodwill on this - and even if they DO win by hook or crook, it's their last. They've torn their own mask off - the 'kind, caring, tolerant' left has exposed their own ugliness for all the world to see.

Well in this country, we are not cowards and protect the innocent and not so innocent from being injured or killed.

Jay tea, The kind of gun is irrelevant. Completely and totally irreverent to the point being made. Basically you're acting like an someone who spends a debate ignoring the content and responding to spelling errors. Which of course have nothing to do with the logic of the argument.
In this case the point being made was that the level of danger of a gun around a town hall event where the president is speaking, is more threatening than a sign, even a sign that uses very harsh language. That was the point being made. whether the man had a Sub machine gun or a 22 doesn't change the the comparison of danger between it and a sign, nor does it change how your post was a complete and total red herring. BTW, Although this is also irreverent to the debate. I'm pro second amendment (Not straight party line is it Clay?)

"Jay tea, The kind of gun is irrelevant."
Yet none of those were germane to the conversation at all. At least the guns portion was partially. It was pointing out that differences that the average person has in distinguishing different types of weaponry. Also the type of gun is relavant as some guns are legal (semi automatic) and some are not (sub machine gun). The one at the rally was not. Could some see this as threatening? Yes. But some say the police carrying guns is threatening, should we stop them from carrying them? Was it appropriate or a wise decision to carry it at this venue? Probably not.
And just because one knows Sheakespeare or physics, doesn't mean that they have any better insight into this situation then one who doesn't. Book learning doesn't impress me at all, real world experience does. I run into people who are book learned, but have not a lick of real world experience and they are indeed 'idiots', even if they have high IQ's.

But, she wasn't just holding the sign, she shoved it in his car window at him. I know you didn't see that in the video making the rounds on the MSM, but you could have seen it on the link that was provided. People have been charged with assault for spitting on somebody, so shoving a sign at somebody definitely qualifies as assault.
Also notice that I've never commented on whether the 'stomping' (which it wasn't a 'stomp' it was a pushing on the shoulders and neck, not the head) was an assault or not. On that portion, he lacked restraint, and therefore it could be classified as assault. The people tackling her and pinning her to the ground did not assault her, they restrained her after she attempted to assault Rand Paul with her sign. That may not have been her intention, to assault him, but that is what she did. If they didn't restrain her could you say with absolute assurance that she wouldn't have done more? She could have been hiding a knife in with the sign. No, she made threatening moves (illegal - attempted assault or actual assault if the sign hit him). I would condemn somebody who did that toward the President as well.
The case with the man walking around with the rifle, is different because no law was broken. So there is a definite differnce, whether you want to admit it or not.
