Rand Paul supporter STOMPED ON by Jack Conway Supporter ZERO media coverage

Taskr, you are really grasping here, I read the story, and from what I read it sounds much more like an accident than the video of the Rand Paul supporter. But, I guess this is what we should expect from the Paul supporters.

Apparently the KY Post reporter you quite isn't interested in covering the entire story either, otherwise the article would mention how we know it was a Conway supporter who stepped on this woman's foot cast.

I heard one report that she had approached Paul earlier and she was turned away and later came back. This behavior would raise red flags and should be treated as a threat. This woman is a paid agitator and is expected to keep doing something to provoke response so that her partner can catch it on camera. It is interesting that the man has been fired and banned from all further events. A Republican response. In California an aid calls the Republican candidate a Wh0re and no action has taken place. This and other incidents points out one thing. The media expects better behavior from the Republicans than it does the Democrats. Republicans pushing down someone who makes a threatening jester is news. Democrats doing it is not news.

First of all, if anyone, anywhere, anytime, regardless of who the stomper and stompee happened to be or what either of their political affiliations were, truly intentionally stomped on the foot of someone wearing a surgical boot, that would be indefensible. Next, I can say personally, as both an admitted klutz at times and someone who is often unlucky, I don't think I've ever been anywhere in a crowded place where throngs of people may be pushing towards someone or something for whom they've been waiting - such as those waiting outside of where a major political debate is to be held - and NOT had my feet and or toes stepped on at least once. Sometimes it's even felt like they'd been stomped on. I've been in these crowd situations in sneakers, sandals and dressy shoes but one thing I'd NEVER even consider it attending such an event shortly after foot surgery and wearing a surgical boot. To me that's kind of simple common sense. The following was taken directly from the article to which you linked; the capitalization for emphasis of the word "stepped" was my own touch: "The second occurred after a Conway supporter STEPPED on the foot of a female Rand supporter, who recently had foot surgery, according to police. The woman was wearing a surgical boot, but after the injury, her incision was cut open. Police say she refused medical treatment and also filed an assault report." It didn't say "STOMPED on" it said "STEPPED on"; that's a pretty big difference although it may not always FEEL like a big difference. It also didn't name either the victim or the perpetrator; there were no statements from either or from any witnesses of this incident. I'll say this much - anyone with common sense who had an incision cut open would definitely not refuse medical treatment. However, I'll repeat that if this person's foot, in a surgical boot following recent surgery, had been intentionally stomped on she had every right to file charges whether she showed much common sense by simply being there or by refusing medical treatment or not. It would have been a rotten thing to do! Another thing I think is worth noting is both your title and the article identifies these two people simply as supporters of Paul and Conway; it didn't say either of them were campaign workers or volunteers, just that they were supporters. I have not doubt that every single politician there is from the two major parties or any others has some supporters they would probably wish they didn't have if they knew of things they said and did. Paul and Conway can both easily fire or distance themselves from workers or volunteers who act like thugs but they can't control what their random supporters do in a crowd. Annie

Things are getting wayyyyyyy out of control lately. People on both sides need to take a deep breath and calm down. Violence is not appropriate. The reason the other one was covered and this was not was because I bet you MoveOn called the press themselves to make sure it got covered. Whereas this woman did not.

it isn't that odd taskr. a woman with a surgical boot having her foot stepped on in a crowd doesn't have the same media impact as a video of somebody having her head stamped on. now if her foot was stamped on then yes this is appalling, and counts as assault too, but right now that 'if' gets in the way.

In a contest of ugly behaviour during this election, I am quite confident that obama's team will win every time. No match!

The media wants the leftists to win of course... that is why they refuse to report on anything negative about them, only the republican or conservatives get the negative reporting. This is just business as usual by the leftist propaganda machine.
