UNHINGED LEFTIST Who Lunged at Rand Paul Is Paid Far Left Activist
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, October 26, 2010, 5:47 AM
For the record…
The Unhinged Leftist Who Lunged at Rand Paul Is a Paid Activist
MoveOn.org contract employee Lauren Valle stalked and lunged at Rand Paul outside the final debate last night.
Valle, from Falmouth, Massachusetts, was tackled and stepped on by Paul supporters. (TPM)
The media will make this far left activist out to be a martyr today. We already know that.
It certainly was over the line to put a shoe on her shoulder or head.
But, Lauren knew exactly what she was doing.
She’s had plenty of practice. She’s a professional leftist activist.
Lauren was booked in May on felony charges. (LPSO)
Lauren protested oil companies in Louisiana during the BP oil spill. (Telegraph)
Luaren Valle was charged with the felony charges of Unauthorized Entry of a Critical Infrastructure and Unauthorized Entry of an Inhabited Dwelling in May.
Lauren vandalized a ship in May.
Harbor police talk to Greenpeace activists Scott Cardiff (R) and Lauren Valle (L) who are hanging from the bridge painting with their messages on the ship Harvey Explorer at an industrial port at Port Fourchon, Louisiana, May 24, 2010. The activists used oil from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico spill to paint the message “Arctic Next?” on the bridge of the ship, which is scheduled to depart for Alaska to support drilling operations in July.

Not I.

Gee, and if you believe them the conservatives and their guns are supposed to be the dangerous ones.
Uhh commented:
So that makes it okay to shove her to the ground and step on her head?
listingstarboard commented:
Has anyone identified the man doing the stomping? Could he also be in on the plan to implicate Tea Partiers? Someone needs to find out who HE IS.
Andreas K. commented:
Uhh, nobody stepped on her head. Check the vid. I only see the foot resting on her back. Stepping on someone looks differently. Stepping on somebody’s head looks a lot differently.
She assaulted, but was then wrestled to the ground in reply. That’s very okay.
It backfired on her. Good!
Maura commented:
.what are these, a bunch of annuity anarchists? trust fund kooks? who has time for all of this? guilty, lefty rich kids.

The MoveOn crowd can do anything they want to do, expecting no accountability. That’s why the riots keep happening in France, Greece and other parts of Europe.
donh commented:
Foot was on the shoulder. Call an unecessary roughing foul if you want, but I think it shows a selfish priority for your public image over taking proper security measures. If she had a gun in her sweatshirt, she could get a shot off lying on her side. Pressing her shoulder flat to the pavement limits her arm mobility.
Mrs. X commented:
May I suggest, for Miss Valle, that she discuss these matters with her psychiatrist.
Ginger commented:
I saw the video on Fox and he did stomp on her head! I heard a male voice say …now don’t do that! Maybe not the same words! I am not making no excuses for him but it was not a big hard foot stomp on her. Thank goodness.

yup, justified. You go anywhere to cause trouble and see what happens. We fight back , I know your not used to it bit get used to it. There are a new breed of conservatives. We have stones.

Uhh, perhaps she should have been escorted to an upholstered chair and offered a non-fat latte and a scone or biscotti?

StandUp4Chuck commented:
To all you pansies who are whining about the foot to the back put yourself in that position. The guy didn’t stomp on her head; he pushed her down flat on the ground. No one knew what she was up to and took measures to neutralize her. If you have ever been handled by the police you will realize these same techniques are used against a perp. Please grow some balls and understand that these situations call for these measures. If she had a gun you would be crying that enough wasn’t done.
Scott commented:
Leftist can never win with the power of their ideas…They have to use coercian, manipulation and ulitmately violence to get the power they want…I hope Rand Paul presses criminal charges againsts these domestic terrorist wannabees and files suit against those who hired them!
Auntie Em commented:
I retract my statement. Stepping on her head was appropriate. Perhaps they knocked some sense into that square head.
kansas commented:
So that makes it okay to shove her to the ground and step on her head?
Yeah, it does. You wanna play tough, you better get tough. Whiners.
Smarty commented:
Joe Piscopo attacked someone and it was on video, no charges on him, no “narrative”.
Screw the narrative, make liberals afraid of confronting the right. This is why athiests and secularists cower and surrender to Muslims but feel free to whip up on and attack (literally and legally) Christians.
Kiteflyer commented:
I think Ms. Lauren Valle should discuss this with her psychiatrist or publicist, or whatever.
daryl commented:
Well now.
Her “green piece” membership ‘splains a lot, don’t it?
Damned hippies eating too many turnip greens in those communes is what causes that. At’s what I heard, but don’t quote me.
Paid hippie political activists? What will they think of next?
Sean commented:
nice work finding this so quickly. it’s gotten to the point that it’s inevitable that we find that these people are paid left-wing saboteurs.
Still doesn’t justify the idiot who did exactly what she hoped would happen. Stop playing into their plans.
Tom C commented:
If she was arrested in La. in May and Greenpeace posted her bail shouldnt someone be checking to see if she has the right to travel to Ky.?
demasque commented:
And this breaks exactly ONE week before the election? That timing is a little on the nose isn’t it? Like the stock market imploding a month before the ’08 election?
Shady work is afoot folks.
Ted commented:
Restraining a criminal by holding them on the ground is standard police practice. For a citizen to use their foot to hold down the criminal is wise, as they maintain distance while subduing the perpetrator.
There is nothing in any way wrong with the method of restraint used.
kansas commented:
You want to mess with us? Get ready for an ass whoopin.
Elmo commented:
I watched the tape … twice (but haven’t yet scanned the thread). Loud, clear calls … by the crowd .. for the police. Obviously, quite so … she has acted against the public safety. And why she was being subdued. And after she is, one can then clearly see/hear another in the crowd, wave off the gent (with heel upon). Who responds accordingly.
My hat’s off to all who acted with charm and grace. And why I never go where cockcroaches dwell. I know MY limits. But stand in my way … on the way to the voting booth this upcoming Tuesday? Then G*d help you.
When the election’s over? We can offer up a prayer. In honor of this great nation. And hope that (at least) some, of the warring faction (of freaks/libturds/steaming piles/commie filth/members of the BRMDC) will chill [everyone now hold hands ... sing Kumbaya (right ... who am I kidding)].
Still … from the balcony, I gotta give Lauren Valle two (really big) thumbs up. For her sob/whine performance … post take down … just loved it … (and yeah, I’ll remember to cast my vote on the People’s Choice Awards!).
Mike H commented:
When the two clowns were painting the bridge of the ship with their enviro-fascist BS the right move was to cut the ropes supporting them.

He was thinking it was time for “Boots On The Ground” !
Dave-O commented:
I’m with Mike H #36 –
That would have been the time to unsheath the sword and cut the rigging — all the while singing “Anchors Away” -
hotaru commented:
The point was made on another site–why is she smiling the whole time, if this is really a brutal attack? Glee that she “caught” Rand Paul supporters acting out? Or the fact that she knew it wasn’t real? I was horrified until someone mentioned the smiling and I re-watched it. Now I’m leaning towards a good, old-fashioned Alinsky-esque set-up.
Doug S commented:
I must agree that her head was within the hairy protrusion above her shoulders and not growing from her shoulder blade. The foot in question was serving as a Push Down Hold not a Stomp Down.
For those who do not understand the difference between Push and Stomp you can perform your own scientific inquiry! Have someone stomp on your head for awhile then compare the sensationsby having someone keep you down by pushing.
greenfairie commented:
Too bad nobody had a taser.
Dave-O commented:
No organization regrets violence in the election campaigns as much as the Tea Party (go as Ken Gladney about this particular topic).
But anyone approaching a US Senate candidate in disguise, wearing a wig, and acting in any sort of pushy (read: aggressive) manner – can expect a bit of push-back from the candidate’s supporters and/or security personnel – She could have easily been carrying a knife or a gun.
The tape clearly reveals the repeated calls of witnessses and bystanders (as well as actual involved parties) to “get the police” – and repeated efforts to get law enforcement involved -
Despite the so-called “brutal assault” – she seemed none-the-worse for wear after the fact as she gave an interview to the TV reporter wearing a big smile on her face – she sported no obvious wounds or ill effects other than her illogical arguments which clearly reflected a previously existing mental disorder
No similar mention, however, being made of the Rand supporter just out of foot surgery who had her bandaged foot stomped on by a Conway supporter (MoveOn?) – and had her incision re-opened as a result – a trip back to the hospital was required in that instance – but that more grievous assault is buried deep in the article.
gus commented:
She’s lucky she didn’t get her fuxing head blown off.
Robert Kennedy and George Wallace weren’t so fortunate.
Dave-O commented:
This wasn’t a case of a protester peacefully walking the sidewalk with her sign, exercising her First Amendment rights, and having some thug run up to her and assault her — not even close – (ask Ken Gladney about that – he knows all about it) -
This was a case of a crazy woman in disguise (does the name Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme ring a bell?) rushing the candidate wearing a wig, and carrying items that could not readily be ascertained – and, as it turns out, she already has what appears to be a fairly lengthy criminal record -
Yes, I agree with Gus – if this was a Tea Partier rushing the President or Vice President – she would have been lucky to be alive this morning.
Brad commented:
Who care’s what her previous background is.. so what if she’s a “felon” or a “professional protester”! Give me a break, what is this story.
She did NOT deserve to have her head shoved into the pavement. ENOUGH. I am a conservative, go to my link. But we should NEVER condone or even attempt to justify such behavior because she was anything at all.
No excuses for this. She has every right to be there. We didn’t like how Gladney was treated…

…………………….
Oh, it’s so the same. Ken Gladney was minding his own business outside the venue selling buttons and pennants when he was attacked for the sin of being a black mini-entreprenuer.
This is a professional agitator who was close to the candidate, expressly there to make trouble, a lawless, destructive, selfish-brat on a payroll.
savage24 commented:
This is a direct result of the liberals closing down the nut houses, now all the nuts are running around country causing problems. The cnearer to election day the crazier they will get, and the more problems they will cause. The main stream media will rationalize their antics and blame the sane people for overreacting. This is how the left works.
Mil-tech Bard commented:
The simple message to the Ailinskyite Left is that Tea Party candidates — as opposed to Republicans — fight back against Leftist thuggery.
I regret to say we will see more of this after November 2010 and 2012 than we are now.

I’m with Brad. This was despicable. That guy should NOT have done that.
I’m a tea partier. This is the last sort of thing we want to have happening, much less videos floating around about it.
There is no excuse for this whatsoever. And it’s a female, yet!
That one guy, acting like an ass, sets up back no end.
Alana commented:
sets *us* back
Christoph commented:
They definitely need to find the man who stepped on the woman’s head and shoulder several seconds after she had been fully subdued, arrest him, and charge him with criminal assault and battery. Then, if he has no record, they can see about plea bargaining it down.
The Rand Paul supporters who initially subdued the woman who was rushing the candidate with something in her hand and while wearing a wig disguise were right to do so. (She does, in fact, look a bit “manly” so the supporters may have suspected the worst.)
It is a fact of law, however, that once you secure a suspect, regardless of what heinous act the suspect is suspected of doing or planning, you may not stand on their head.
Alex commented:
I think beating women who walk around looking like that is definitely appropriate. In fact, it’s quite hard for me to think of a more conservative course of action.
patriotaxe commented:
She “lunged” at Paul Rand? Not hardly. Was he frightened? What kind of pussy is he, anyway?
And how many “men” does it take to bring down a small woman carrying a cardboard sign? Just enough so that another brownshirt can put his foot on her head/neck and push down, it appears.
He did this to prevent her from getting off a shot from the gun she wasn’t carrying? If he’s so all about law enforcement techniques, why did he run away before the police arrived? Why didn’t he stick around for his Medal of Freedom?
While I feel badly for Lauren, it does send a timely message to the Left – this difference of opinion won’t be solved by values but by violence. The cowards of Amerika have invited us to a street party. Let’s party!
kingsjester commented:
She was there for a Lib photo op by getting her picture presenting that phoney award to Rand Paul. Where was her accomplice?
Chessy T Cat commented:
Lauren went into the tuck position – well trained or experienced at altercations. Haven’t seen ANY video of her head being pressed to the ground but have seen her shoulder being immobilized.
Guess Lauren forgot to bring a gun to the knife fight as Barack Obama suggested.
Dave-O commented:
Party On patriota$$ – but you just might wanna be careful what you wish for.
Karen commented:
You people are seriously DEFENDING the actions of these men because she’d been arrested for demonstrating? Yet you have no problem defending the man that MURDERED Dr. Tiller? Where is your outrage that 4 or 5 big strong men can throw a small woman to the ground and stomp on her back?
Anyone who defends this kind of action is filled with hate and anger. It disgusts me!
Paul the Sax Guy commented:
Thought I’d pop in here and see what you Tea Partiers are posting about this assault -
To all of you tough-talking chairborne rangers, might I suggest to you that not all of us on the left are quite so “pansy” as you think.
Might I also suggest that you be careful for what you wish — some of us on the left are armed, and will defend ourselves – willingly, quickly, efficiently and without mercy.
patriotaxe commented:
Rand Paul Supporter Who Wrestled Woman to Ground Identified as Mike Pezzano, a Member of The Lexington Rand/Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty Group. (headline)
What intrigues me is what intrigues him (from his interests listed on the campaign site): Medical Marijuana, Marijuana Advocates, Cooking and Recipes, Friday Night Socials, Dating Women (he has an interesting way of introducing himself), Coffee, Singles Dancing, Swing Dancing, Paddling (let’s assume he doesn’t mean he enjoys being spanked), Over 35s Dating (is this guy lonely or what?), and the usual guns and ammo groups.
What a needy, complex individual! I’m eagerly awaiting the bio of the stomper. I’ll bet he enjoys cross stitching, avant garde art films, ballet, and a nice, dry Chardonnay. You betcha!
Taqiyyotomist commented:
At the beginning of the thread, the dude was holding her head down with his foot. Now we’re up to Stomping. Give it another twenty comments and we’ll have folks on here asking, “But still, he shouldn’t have been JUMPING UP AND DOWN with WILD ABANDON on the poor innocent little girl’s head!”
Telephone game, all in a thread.

And re: #66
Well, what do you know, a Paulian making Conservatives look bad.
Never seen THAT before. Funny that he didn’t list “Hijacking and THEN BELIEVING THE RESULTS OF internet political polls.”
I still have absolutely NO trust of Paulians. Rand, Ron, doesn’t matter.
Remember, Ashley Todd was a “former” Paulian, who “became” a McCain “supporter” when she faked an attack on herself, blamed a nonexistant black man, and admitted that she faked it within hours.
Sure. And even the right fell for it.
I would not be AT ALL surprised if the head-stepper, the step-ee, and the photographer are all best buds.
daveinboca commented:
The D-bag Atlantic Online contortionists maintain that this felon is a harmless “supporter” of c**t-fanny Conway. And Paul, the sax homo, I’d kick your ass from here to Alberquerque if you weren’t such a pansy-ass to begin with…! And heads like those of Lauren Valle were made to be stomped on…!
Doug S commented:
Paul the Sax Guy at #65
Whoopie.
Now close the basement door.
Scott commented:
Can’t you smell the set-up??? Leftist activist provokes an altercation…Liberal weasals condemn the response. Gee, that’s never happened before…It’s game over guys, Paul is running away with this one. Take your bus ticket from move-on.org, pick up your nickel bag and move on to the next target. Losers!
Hannah Rose commented:
Would everybody please stop asking me to grow some balls just because I don’t like the head-stomping thing? I am a woman and I am really not interested in growing any balls, I don’t think that my husband would like me to grow any either. Why does the rhetoric have to be so violent and testosterone heavy? There’s absolutely no middle ground that allows for something like: “yeah, she’s an attention loving idiot, but assaulting her was not necessarily the best response.” Wouldn’t that be more intelligent than suggesting spontaneous genital transformation?!?
Dave-O commented:
Paul the sex guy #68 – gotta hand it to you – THAT is funny. Post of the day! I haven’t laughed out loud at something like that in a loooong time. that’s a good one!
be sure to add “in the back” to your litany of adjectives -
Now, you’d better get back to your video games in your momma’s basement. But I do appreciate your sense of humor.

thomas commented:
The assertions on this thread that this brutality and physical assault are justified is appalling to me. I am a Vietnam veteran who served honorably. My god, have right wing fanatics now stooped so low as to try to justify a physical assault on a thin young woman by an overweight thug as being necessary to “protect” Rand Paul. This is beyond the pale. No one can justify this brutality. Men hiding behind thuggery and then saying it is justified. One poster is even denying the thug pushed the woman’s face to the ground with his foot, even though the video clearly shows that that is exactly what he did. The thug who attacked the woman needs to be arrested, jailed and prosecuted. And some of you think this kind of behavior is excusable! My god.
Mike S commented:
Typical right wing toughness. Throwing a woman to the ground and stepping on her head seems to have given so many of you a thrill. What a bunch of mysoginistic cowards you boys are.
Carol R. commented:
I saw the video. The one man tossed her to the ground, another man stepped on her shoulders and then pushed down. He did not step on her head. He did not stomp on her. He stepped and then just a small time later pushed down with his foot.
Paul the Sax Guy commented:
@69 — happen to be in El Paso, bucko — c’mon down, hero.
InTheRight commented:
I’m seeing reports that Rand Paul has cut all ties to Profitt and barred him from all future events! Also made statement to the effect that Rand is extremely disappointed in and condemns Profitt’s actions!
Hopefully this is not true. Is Paul just another politician, ready to throw a supporter under the bus?
Say it ain’t so.
Paul the Sax Guy commented:
And @74 –
Happen to be standing on my feet – don’t do games, and my mama doesn’t have a basement.
I am a Vietnam-era vet who Uncle Sam trained quite well.
Don’t dare confuse my left-leaning politics with pacifism, and unwillingness to exercise violence in self-defense. Were you to act on this, it would be the last mistake you would ever make.
And the rest of you heroes — thought this was a “Christian”-oriented site — lots of Christian love showing here, with calls for a bullet in the woman’s head, etc.
Your “Lord” must really be smiling on you.
kyledeb commented:
Yup because vandalizing property is the same as assaulting a person. Conservative score!
InTheRight commented:
Well unfortunately it is true. Profitt tries to defend Paul and here is the statement from Paul:
“The Paul for Senate campaign is extremely disappointed in, and condemns the actions of a supporter last night outside the KET debate. Whatever the perceived provocation, any level of aggression or violence is deplorable, and will not be tolerated by our campaign. The Paul campaign has disassociated itself from the volunteer who took part in this incident, and once again urges all activists — on both sides — to remember that their political passions should never manifest themselves in physical altercations of any kind.”
What’s going on???
John commented:
Big men are not supposed to kick women in the head when they are on the ground Shame on him! And he is/was the Bourbon County Rand corodinator
Hoppy commented:
Comments would probably get more attention and consideration, if the third grade name-calling nonsense could be eliminated. No one who was not on the scene knows exactly what happened before what was seen on the video. Given the woman’s previous history, she probably was intent on provoking the kind of response we saw. Her head may have been stepped on, but if so, it is not apparent on the video.
donh commented:
Yes lets have interpol drag Profitt away and thow him in Slobo Milosivec’s old jail cell. Clearly the left has abused the conservatives so thoroughly Stockholm syndrom has set in. This same kind of red hooded anarchist fem took down the Pope during christmas mass. How noble of all you rubber neckers to fault people who tackle the John Hinkley’s of this world. .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRnHr0aNOhI
Bob commented:
We are in the fight of our lives for this country and her enemies will resort to all kinds of childish actions to try to silence us. The left has been unmasked, primarily because of the alternative media and like a bunch of spoiled children they will resort to these tactics. Get used to it, and be ready for it. And by all means, do not back down. The leftists want free everything from mama government, they are weak frightened children. They are cowards. Don’t back down…
InTheRight commented:
Bob, you need to find a new candidate. Paul disagrees! Read his statement! He says that Profitt was WRONG!!
Again I ask, what’s going on?
InTheRight commented:
Mike S, I tend to agree, UNLESS the woman is a real threat. Other folks have mentioned Squeaky Fromme. But this is now a moot point. Rand Paul says that Profitt was wrong and he condemns his actions.
Game over!
tas commented:
Nice how my comment — which lacked profanity or anything provocative, by the way — was censored. Maybe if my first name was “Juan” you’d care about free speech.
Chisum commented:
tas,
Another babbling racist. Must be a leftist.
Steve commented:
Looks like you just want to round up all the activists and beat them up. How about putting them in camps? You can wear brown shirts.
Or do you really not see the comparison?
A Conservative Teacher commented:
Democratic Playbook 101- tell a lie, tell it often, and tell it big. Getting one of your nuts to assault someone and then calling foul and brutality when they are stopped is sure to sway the vote for some idiots out there… it must be nice to be a Dem and be free from morals, principles, or standards.
Dave commented:
Gee guys, she looks real dangerous.
InTheRight commented:
Conservative Teacher, it was Rand Paul that called foul. Forget the goofy left. Rand is the one who says that Profitt was wrong. Rand condemns Profitt’s actions. Are you angry at Rand?
Time to move on to a better topic. It is hard to defend Profitt when Rand Paul himself condemns his actions. Right?
Besides, no one is changing their vote over this stupid incident.
Chisum commented:
Gee, how come Kenny Gladney didn’t get all of this attention?
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2010/10/gee-how-come-kenny-gladney-didnt-get.html
InTheRight commented:
Actually, I take back the last sentence in my last comment. I CAN think of one person who might change their vote because of this incident — Profitt. He might be a little unhappy at the way Paul’s campaign turned on him.
Who cares? Paul is going to win. He’s way ahead in the polls.
Mike commented:
Look I’m no lefty I served in the USMC back in 91 in the Gulf. I was at the rally from the start with my 19 year son. We went to the democratic rally also. I wanted to give my son both sides of the men running for office. We were only a few feet & got a good view of the events that happened. We saw everything that happened. I have to say this but the headline & story posted here is not correct & to be honest is juts not telling the truth. I feel I must qualify myself I lean right,but not far right. I voted for Sen McCain & hope Obama is not elected again. My son was on Fox Nation & asked me to look at this story & how it was slanted to make this women seem crazy & wanted that to happen to her. It really upset my son he’s a big fan of this site & fox nation & others. But after seeing the way this story has been written by many on the right he’s now rethinking his views & maybe right wing media is just like left wing media..”only giving one side of a story no matter what” I’m sorry but she did not go after Mr Paul, she was in front closest to the curb where Mr Paul’s suv would park. She was pushed towards the back by two large men. A few people noticed that. I guess because some people called her a hippie & an agent. But we didn’t notice that or cared, one older lady said “Hey young man that’s not how you treat a young woman” Paul’s suv pulled up she then started to walk around to suv like others were doing for a better view. At that point someone yelled out “She’s going after Paul!” Another women assumed they meant her and she moved away. The same two men moved towards the young lady, at that point another woman yelled: “Leave her alone!”, that’s when she ran & looked very scared. My son was about to moved towards one of the men & that’s when the camera’s pick up the action. I grabbed him just in time we were right behind the camera man. After the event a good amount of people wanted the police to arrest both men & a few other people. I’ve been contacted to the locale police & my son & I will tell them the same account I just told you. My name is not “Mike” but I just feel as a good honest Marine that I must tell the truth. I didn’t fight for some SOB to do that to a girl. I’m ashamed I didn’t stop him, that could be you’re sister or daughter or wife. This hate has to stop, we’re all Americans, the Left or Liberals are not evil, the Right is not evil. We need to start working together for the entire country & our children or this country will tear itself apart.
donh commented:
Paul is doing what Paul has to do, and Profitt knows it. This whole stunt was intended to get Paul on camera wrestling with a woman so as to continue the aqua buddha smear. It failed. Hey I thought we were all supposed to wear purple in sympathy to stop the bullying of gays. Yet here we see the professional left dress a lesbo fasci thug up in red and send her out to taunt politicians… then they bully the alert people who stopped her attack as if some kind of international hate crime took place…. all out of despair to stop an election loss.
Proud Liberal commented:
You conservatives will find any excuse to dismiss violence perpetrated by your side …. time and time again your sycophants kill, maim and terrorize and you come up with the Black Panthers as your excuse? Pathetic bunch of LOSERS! Timothy McVeigh, plane attack on the Austin IRS building, white supremacist James Von Brunn attack at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. — it goes on and on!!!
InTheRight commented:
Donh, you think Paul doesn’t mean what he says? He’s just saying what he needs to say to get elected? So how do you figure out what he actually means and what he’s just saying to get elected?
I sure hope you are wrong. I think that is called Change You Can Believe In. We don’t need any more of that.
I take Paul at his word. I’m sure he knows more than we do. He says Profitt was wrong. And come on, it was a girl. Who defends a big guy stepping on a girl’s head? What is the argument for him? He’s innocent your honor. This 200 pound guy was so threatened by this girl, as she laid on the ground, that he had to step on her head in self defense? I would be way too embarrassed to make that argument. I’d be looking for a plea bargain.
He’ll get community service and no record if he keeps his nose clean for a few years. No more stepping on girl’s heads.
Paul condemns his actions and you should too. I think we can all agree that men should never step on a girl’s head.

==============================
The Blame Game
The Left has been disparate to demonize conservative as violent and angry, ignoring violence and riots on the Left and blaming any incident of violence or terrorism on the Right. The most recent example of this can be found in the case of John Patrick Bedell, an obviously insane person who was killed while shooting up the Pentagon. Despite the fact that he was a registered Democrat, was vehemently anti-Bush, and was critical of capitalism, the media worked to classify his as a right-wing extremist. The same tactic was taken when Andrew Joseph Stack flew a plan into an IRS building in Texas — despite his rantings against capitalism and organized religion, and in support of socialized medicine, the media again labeled him a right-wing extremist. This meme is well in line with the political narrative that people on the Right are somehow more unstable and prone to violence than those on the left.

Paul has an election victory to close for the larger issues facing this country. He also has a responsibility to set an example of good temper and contain the spread of violance . I am OK with that even though Paul’s statement is very unfair to Profitt. We all know the left is dying for Paul to be a stand up friend to Profitt so they can reinforce their aqua buddha smear. Again the left has no shame or guilt at the lives and relationships damaged by their provacateuring. The lesbo fasci thug will likely be rewarded with a job at NPR while Profitt suffers a thankless national humiliation for the greater good of our cause.

Working on a Psychiatric unit I can tell you I do not blame that young man for attempting to subdue that woman with his foot—Do you know how many times we healthcare workers are bit or spat upon–In this day and age with all of the diseases that can be spread from a bite or being spat upon I don’t think I would want to be down on the ground with this unknow person who has already shown she is unstable. Of course we cannot do this with our patients but out on the street –with all factors unknown—this might not be so outlandish—
rgwag commented:
Clearly she was being dragged away from something but notice how neatly edited the tape was .We see nothing of what happened before or after.Almost like whoever was filming only wanted us to see what they wanted us to see,to manipulate and frame it for a specific message.In the old days we called this agitprop.

Beating up a girl because she disagrees with your loony candidate – what a pathetic bunch of human refuse you people are. Up here in New England we know how to deal with bullies who beat up girls, and we also know that making excuses for them is just as bad.
deane commented:
It has been established that one of the men who allegedly attacked this woman is Mike Pezzo, a Kentucky gun rights activist and a Rand Paul supporter.
The men who did this did not have the legal authority to assault and batter anyone and what they did is illegal by any definition of the word.
What you idiots are doing, by cheering them on, is exposing the violence inherent in the right wing for what it is. If you don’t agree with what someone believes in, it is fine to treat them violently by you. This is not an American value.
John M commented:
If the cops were standing there when she made her move what would they have done? Probably much worse, and certainly would have en masse thrown her to the ground and arrested her.
Enough said.
Proud Liberal commented:
JohnM = If you WATCH the video carefully, cops were there — Again, First Amendment only applies to CONS?
Proud Liberal commented:
Chisum = Copy and paste someone else’s writings much? No original thinking? Just because it’s published does not make it true. Someone may be a registered Democrat, so? That does not mean they are a progressive OR a true liberal. Some few wack jobs POSE just to get information and access. Use your intellect instead of your bigotry. The idiot who shot up the D.C. museum was a CON, just like you are. Embrace him, like you embrace your fellow brethren loonies. It’s funny that CONS attended Obama events carrying weapons and they were not wrestled to the ground or attacked. This young woman posed a threat? She’s been in the area for a few weeks and was identified and surrounded by those thugs who attacked her … they knew exactly what they were doing. Just more bully-boy tactics by losers with small minds.
blessed are the misinformed commented:
she wasn’t doing anything dangerous or illegal, you idiots. whether you call it activism or civil disobedience – you do it everytime you have a rally (only you usually sit in folding chairs while you do it).
furthermore, no one who restrained her had the right or the mandate to do it. they aren’t police officers – if they were they would have had to allow her continue without interference.
to say it’s anything else is purely delusional. you guys want democracy – well a dissenting point of view presented at a public event with a public figure running for office is exactly that.
why don’t you stop looking for obama’s birth certificate and crack open a copy of the constitution that you claim to know backwards and forwards?
jarch commented:
I was hoping she was at least cute. Ugh. What a pig!
Chisum commented:
Poor poor Proud Liberal. Will not acknowledge facts. Continues to spew lies and faux outrage.
David Brooks wrote this article for Stuart Smalley Democrats like you.

I realize that you and your ilk are screaming about the evil conservatives in a vain effort to avoid talking about the oncoming tsunami that will occur on Nov. 2nd. America will speak. As usual you and your kind will ignore or obfuscate their message. Just as you have ignored them these past two years. Just as you ignore every fact that doesn’t fit your meme. Because you believe that you know better. Embrace that you hypocrite.
Intellect? Oh yes, you’re loaded with intellect. You know how I know? I have only to ask you. Keep sneering, cupcake. And enjoy the hinterlands.
Ciao.
Cat commented:
Profitt clearly steps down on Lauren Valle AFTER she was already down and pinned. No excuse for this at all!!!!!
You're Wrong commented:
Nice, a big man stomping a young woman who is already on the ground. What a bunch of manly men you tea party guys are. And a lot of you are proud of it. Good to see the Tea Party in action stopping a young woman from showing a sign to Mr. Paul. But that’s right, you fellas love the Constitution, except that Freedom of Speech part. Unless the speech is something you like, right?
Erik commented:
Wait, how is she a fascist? Because she’s a leftist? You’ll have to draw a clearer parallel. Fascists are, historically speaking, rightists.
Also, to all those saying, “what if she had a gun?!” and accusing her of instigating violence: (a) she didn’t have a gun, and (b) she didn’t attack anyone nor did she give any indication that she intended to attack anyone. She was the one who was attacked, plain as day. Anyone who says otherwise is distorting the reality of the situation.
WJClinton commented:
by the looks of her, she’s used to taking it in the face…
JAO commented:
Here’s a different video showing where she shoved a sign and at the time who knows what else in Rand Paul’s face through an open window.
Her actions started this whole mess. Too bad it wasn’t security who dealt with her as she was disguised, aggressive and able to get very close to the more than likely next US Senator from Kentucky.

Proud Liberal aka ASSHat-
Sneering condescension and sweeping generalizations. That’s all you have. Definitely a quality found in an “intellectual”.

Keep spinning, cupcake.
Send me a postcard from the hinterlands.

What a bogus story I read the arrest report that was linked, she and the others have not been convicted and are not felons as the title of the article says. sensationalism is the root of all evil.
You may get readers but you lose credibility.
Aaron commented:
Wow, you guys are crazed fascists. It’s like some sort of skinhead message board. Are you guys really full of this much violent hate? Just look at the ugliness of all your comments.
A woman was assaulted, for crying out loud.

Good to know your criteria for unhinged criminal activism. Puts James O’Keefe and Andrew Breitbart right in it.
