Stomping for Votes

By Zamboni

This video pretty much speaks for itself. Just one note in case you're confused: The woman whose head got stomped was carrying an anti-Rand Paul sign. And the stomper is a Paul supporter whom the Paul campaign has belatedly fired.

So, then. Here's the state of the GOP — the party that analysts say has a good shot at taking the House of Representatives next week.

Their Senate candidate in Nevada has called for "Second Amendment remedies." A supporter of hers punched out a supporter of Harry Reid's at a campaign event. Their Senate candidate in Alaska handcuffed and detained a reporter. One of their House candidates likes to dress as a Nazi. And now, this.

These teabaggers are uncouth political thugs. But the truly scary thing is the Republican Party that coddles, promotes and excuses them.

UPDATE: We cats can't believe that we forgot to mention Carl Paladino threatening to "take out" that journalist from The New York Post. We also neglected to cite that nutty Republican pastor who wants to overthrow the U.S. government. WHAT is it going to take for ANY member of the Republican Party to speak out?

UPDATE #2: Democratic Senate candidate Jack Conway has called on Rand Paul to man up and apologize to the stomping victim. "A boot stomp to the head of a woman is never appropriate. Rand should apologize to her, stop blaming others, and identify the others involved in this thuggish behavior and disassociate his campaign from them immediately."
