No where in the article does it say these were "tea party" people. This was a problem caused by the state's Republican party's decision to change the method of voting along with the very heated climate of this convention. In a crowd so large no one truly knows who threw the first punch or if someone thought they were hit with the movement of the crowd and tempers flared.

But at least there weren't any rapes, fire bombing, destruction of private property, or any of the other stuff that went on during recent liberal protest.

Why?? Because you're running scared ... because with every day, the number of people who recognize the cancer upon democracy that is the twisted. one-sided view off the Democrat-Liberal-Radical continuum continues to grow .... and solidify.

Ol' Satchel Paige said it best .... "Don't look over your shoulder; something might be gaining on you."
Scared? Scared of what? How does an all-Republican fistfight become scary to Democrats? If anything, it only shows how scared and desperate the Republicans are!

Get a grip. This made all Oklahoma Republicans look like a bunch of hotheaded, uncivilized louts, and that's the fact of the matter. Too bad, too. I'm sure most of the delegates are as civil as can be.

Wait a minute! This was OK and a Republican convention. Aren't liberals surprised there wasn't gun fire? After all, as Obama said these people cling to their bibles and their guns.

Don't ya know that according to the left all Teapartiers are Republicans and all Republicans are Teapartiers? They don't acknowledge the violence of the OWS groups either. Hypocricy rules with them.

It looks like the GOP establishment goons are equal opportunity thugs that will attack anyone that doesn't stand with their extreme right, america destroying agenda, even Ron Paul supporters.

"WASHINGTON, May 14, 2012 — Chaos erupted at the Oklahoma GOP convention on Saturday when supporters of Ron Paul and Mitt Romney came to blows, necessitating the intervention of the police."

"Finally tensions exploded after the controversial vote went against Paul and a Romney supporter allegedly punched a Paul supporter in the back of the head."

Another sad, desperate, pathetic, transparent, failed attempt by the OP to create some moral equivalence between the Tea Party and the Occupy Bowel Movement and the left in general.

definitely not mad about getting punched in the head, but mad that Paul isn't campaigning anymore THATS WHY he fought back.



This whole thread sucks, and has nothing to do with anything. All it did was show OP's lack of understanding regarding reality and what issues are important in society.

They are just fighting for their candidate not realizing that ALL the candidates are really the same.
