In Kentucky, Tea Party candidate Rand Paul's campaign workers attacked a woman for protesting. Don't believe me? Here's a video.
EDIT: THIS IS NOW FEATURED ON THE COLBERT REPORT

Here's some copypasta that you should forward to everyone.

The Tea Party has shown their true colors. A woman was protesting Tea Party candidate Rand Paul, when she was attacked by Rand's campaign workers, who stated "She asked for it" and was left with a concussion. Rand only spoke out against the violence when absolutely required to, and refused to apologize or reprimand the attackers. There has been violence in this campaign, but when 3 men gang up on one woman, it must stop. Join us in telling Rand Paul and the Tea Party "If you stomp on me, 1,000 more will take my place" by uploading a picture of yourself holding a sign saying "You can't stomp on me."

Any more details on what happened?

Violence is not needed, but that seems a tad bit extreme.

Yeah, I just put in the video.
Now tweet it, put it on facebook, tell everyone you know.

Yep, the Tea Partys now doomed, this footage is a major blow to the reputation of them, I mean hatreds one thing, but violence is another level partially if its not called for.

It's not good enough unless you tell as many people as possible.

Obviously forced me- shot

Yeah, it's obvious that you're trying to force the spread. Don't worry; this sort of thing will spread fast. It'll appear very, very soon in mainstream topics…

I never liked Rand Paul anyway. lol

We should post this on the Colbert forums, but than again it is most likely there already.

You know I figured stuff like this was gonna happen, and No offense but I'd prefer it to happen to one person early than to happen to millions later.

I hope the lady gets better, and is ok, shes done a great thing for our nation.

Ok I submitted it to The Colbert Report, they will find something out about this.

They had all reason to attack her, I mean she did have a different opinion on something…

The Tea Party truly are a sad bunch.

Here is a story I posted up, it says she tried to give him a fake medal.

Well violence is bad, but ignorance is by far worse.

"Rather than apologise, he said that Miss Valle should say sorry to him. "

Thats disgusting, also they spelled apologize with a s, not a z.

The tea party is a sad bunch

You know reconsidering after talking to a person about it, I decided that if a person charges at a politician at a meeting, you would react in the same way, but the offensive thing was the foot to the head.

Still not sure why the lady said "they are kicking her" still cant find no kicking except for the guy with the foot on the head obviously.

This is a interesting debate.

"Yeah, it’s obvious that you’re trying to force the spread. Don’t worry; this sort of thing will spread fast. It’ll appear very, very soon in mainstream topics…"
Well, the Tea Party is trying to keep this out of the news. That's why we need to tell people.

Meh, they dont care, and neither do the people, sure people are offended by it, but the hilarious part about humanity is that we repeat the same mistake, over and over, and when we do fix it, we just replace it with another issue.

Funny, isn't it ? Read the description.
You know. I can basically understand why the Tea Party would be a bunch of morons, but trying to slander them using events that aren't related to their campaigns won't help getting rid of them. It would be the contrary, actually.

A very merry unbirthday to you

You's republicans TROLLIN'!

Hey tea partiers:

U MAD?

The Tea Party has been waving the Confederate flag lately.

Tea Party. It's like they're ignorant to their stupidness.

My dad said that he heard a tea party leader say that if they lost the mid terms there would be an armed revolt, and civil war. I say we right up a sort of manifesto against them. I know this sounds weird, but they're so frustrating that I have t sing this song to calm myself down.

(Relevant innit)
Down with the tea party.
Oh yeah, while I'm at it, do any of you guys like Davis Fleetwood?

@Dinner: About the one asking for civil war, that's Sharron Angle, Teabagger from my home state of Nevada. She says that we need to kill Harry Reid.

Does she like trucking?


At least the tea party's members' ancestors had a sense of reality.

Well if this is what America wants, this is what America will get.

Problem Tea Party?

Every time someone mentions the Tea Party, i think of the mad hatter…..

Just goes to show how bad politics has affected America. Turning on each other over who sits in a chair.

@angrypwnzer
How old are you, btw?

Conservatives in Britain

Conservatives in America

Not that I'm a Conservative.

@Misuminded

Meh, its was gonna happen eventually, even the founding fathers knew that, but you know, people dont learn from the past, but I guess thats just society in general.

Take Castro For Example, he was a absolute revolutionary, he fought for what he believed in, but now, hes the oppressor, and its saddens me that he cant see hes making the same mistakes his predecessors made, not giving the people what they want, and you know their is no right form of government, their is only higher men above lower men.

Of course how the higher man treats the lower man always differs for each country, but if the higher man gets too out of line the lower man will take him down, its the truest form of democracy.

@Sweatie Killer
Too bad there isn't a revolution in America. They really need to get rid of their billionaires.

@Dinner

Being rich = Satan

I mean the people who do these dealing with politicians.


And yes, I know, Moore is quite well off himself.
@Sweatie Killer
Depends how they got there.

Things really seemed to go downhill after Monkey Man won in 2000, I'm not even necessarily blaming him exclusively, there's more than enough feces to be flung around. The level of acrimony then and now is just flat out nuts. This is why we can't have nice things.

@Dinner

I was being sarcastic about your post.

Also I support the Tea Party since its got alot of hot womens in it.

I agree with the bit with "DEH LAYDEES".

Anyways OP's a troll.

That soundtrack was on the Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
