Anyway, a simple foot on the shoulder was nothing. She should have gotten more according to what I saw in the video.
She didn't take a swing at anyone. There was nothing wrong with them holding her down.

The "wrong" happened when that man put his foot on her and pressed down. He deserves assault charges. You would deserve them too if you ever did that.

Does anyone remember the Christian prostelytizers who got arrested at a Muslim event in Dearborn?

I'm wondering if the disgusting individuals defending the assault on this woman would have defended Muslim assaulters if they had held down and stomped an evangelical for being where he wasn't supposed to be.

Are you suggesting it's okay to assault a woman just because her political persuasion is different than yours?

Wading through the rhetoric, let's just clarify the basic points:
One group / wing / ideology wants inalienable rights secured.
One group / wing / ideology wants inalienable rights destroyed.
Which one is which?

Do you know what your inalienable rights are?

And from whom they came?

Group I
Based on the Declaration of Independence, we can conclude that our Creator endows us with rights, such as the right to life, liberty, property ownership and other rights, that government was instituted to secure.

Group II
Then there's "the other group" that asserts that rights come from government, and one's right to life, liberty, and property ownership are privileges, subject to the government ( and those who control that government ). For example, the communist manifesto sums it up as the abolition of private property (that which is absolutely owned by an individual), and replaces it with collective ownership.

Now, if "someone" attacks another, without just cause (i.e., defending rights), which group do they really represent, (disregarding exterior camouflage)? Was the episode staged, for the benefit of propaganda?

I am not saying Rand Paul, or his supporters are from Group I or II, but pay attention to what they want government to do. And pay attention to their opposition.

Personally, I prefer a government that is limited to securing rights - and governing those who consent.
I do not think a government empowered to secure private property rights should be involved in taking those rights away, under the guise of "bestowing new rights".

Anything government gives must be taken from someone else, because government makes nothing but more government. And that is not what the founding generation wanted. And neither should this generation. However, after years of pervasive propaganda, too few Americans even know of the republican form of government and how they lost it.

No true man assaults a woman for any reason. Period.
Oooh, an internet Chuck Norris.

Upton would have neutralized the threat with his pinky!

Do you have a problem with what happened to Squeaky Fromme? I mean, her gun was empty.

Any true man would have stepped in and took care of the situation..

What would you have done...stood there meekly while a woman was being assaulted in front of you?

Well I'm not sure how prompt his statement was, however his campaign has now released this
which I believe is more appropriate, maybe Paul is in damage control mode:

Quote:
"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."
The Plum Line - Rand Paul campaign condemns attack, disowns volunteer
