There is an undercurrent of violence on the far right that has a Nazi storm trooper quality to it that is more than a bit unsettling. This was brought home rather forcefully earlier this week when Move On activist, Lauren Valle, was kicked to the ground and stomped on by Rand Paul supporters at a rally in Kentucky.
One of my favorite blogs(and one I recommend following for cogent comment on the American political scene) The Fifth Column , had an excellent post today detailing the string of attacks targeting liberals and progressives. Hop on over and have a look. It's a little chilling.
All I can add is the video below. Ms Valle suffered a concussion and shoulder injuries and was briefly hospitalized. She maintains it was a set up. Her attacker claims she owes him an apology.
In the interest of fairness, I've included a second video with commentary from the right wing perspective. What do you think? Personally,I'm waiting for the torchlight parades and Krystalnacht
Here's the way the Rand Paul folks see it - draw your own conclusions.
Obama declares Rand Paul "ineligible" after head stomp incident. SHOCKING story at:

That is one funny blog you have got there SPN. I just went and checked it out... we may not be on the same page politically, but you make me laugh and that is definitely so much better than head-stomping and choke holds--bless you and Peace to you too. I'm following you now and adding you to my blogroll. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty worked up over all the violence we're seeing, and on the verge of doing a post myself about it all. Who is calling who a fascist these days??? This is how it begins, with head-stompings and voter intimidation. It's a scary time. Thanks for the important post, my friend.
ReplyDeleteand thank you momma, for reading and commenting. Let's keep our fingers crossed on election day
